were you watching the same episode? I don't need great dialogue if I see:
- Darryl bust an RPG on a gang of bikers about to kill some of their own
- Sam, Jessie, and the other dumb kid getting eaten by zombies while still holding everyone's hand
- Rick, Michonne, and some alexandria guys fight mass zombies by hand
- Same with Carol and Eugene and Gabriel and Rosita
- Lake of fire
- Glenn reuniting with Maggie and using his 17th miracle escape
- Carl losing an eye (best part of the episode)
The entire show for over 5 seasons made you believe that a horde of 20 zombies or even a single zombie was really dangerous and could kill you. Now suddenly for some cheap gore and a flashy montage of hacking zombies the 10-20 Alexandrians and a rage-mode Rick can kill thousands of zombies crowding the streets? Terrible episode. Just terrible.
My money is still on Morgan. If they kill Darryl there's gonna be a lot of pissed of women.
It's what make sense, since Morgan was kept in a cell, and kept another dude in a cell, instead of killing them.
The start was awesome and show was going good until Rick decided to take on the herd with a hatchet. And then the others join in and they kill the entire herd with no one getting bit? I think in the very first episode it was explained that if there is only a few you can deal with them but a herd is impossible to fight. I guess now even a herd means nothing in this show. Great start but shitty ending in my opinion.
Fighting walkers has has become boring in this show. They need to get back to the living fighting the living. That is much more interesting than dealing with walkers all the time, especially since killing hundreds of them at a time in hand to hand combat is so easy now.
+1
People here are so basic... we are talking about 5k walkers that came to Alexandria, approx (they were 10k but Rick lead the other half away on the Winnibago)... of those 5k walkers, we are talking about probably 500 that were killed by the survivors in hand to hand combat and 4k that were roasted in the lake of fire as walkers are attracted to fire more than anything... remember that Michonne, Rick, Morgan, Carol and Glenn are super tough and capable of killing dozens on their own and that should be a normal thing now for them... what the show tried to portray is that Rick and co inspired the rest of not so skilled fighters to find it the strenght inside to finally fight for a living. When you have 20 survivors back against back fighting a horde of 300+ walkers, it can be done, I still think some people should have been bitten and we will probably see that next episode.
Also, when Darryl roasts the saviours in the intro, it seems Negan or someone else from that group in a van its on its way but stops as soon as he sees the explosion (you would think anybody would excersise precaution after seeing a blast like that kill 10 of your friends). If someone from that group saw Darryl do that you can bet he is the main candidate for an interview with a Lucille... Im afraid Norman Reedus is a goner, guy is getting crazy movie offers and he even got his own show now that he records when not recording TWD.

They used to run away from a group of 20 walkers in mortal fear, now they are fighting thousands of them without getting eaten alive? If anyone else on the show dies by being eaten by walkers now it will seem silly. Also, if the walkers are so attracted to flames why have the characters not spent every day making huge forest fires and then moving along?
They didn't know probably. I'm guessing Darryl got the idea from that other group he met, that killed a bunch of walkers by burning down the woods. Just like there are very few that know about wearing the gut suits. I'm seriously surprised that this is the first time they used that trick since the meeting the vatos at the retirement home.
Did you miss all the time *before* the lake of fire? When our heroes (plus the pussy-ass inexperienced Alexandrians) were surrounded by thousands of zombies? With limited visibility, and zero strategic/high ground?
I get it --- I assume the story was supposed to be "Oh no, our heroes are doomed! They're going to die! But wait......is that Daryl Dixon? Good God almighty, he's got the RPG, he's got the RPG!!!!!!!!!!! Ka-BOOM, Daryl just saved the day!"
But if that was the intent, it was horribly directed/staged. I mean, at least Michonne has an effective zombie-killing weapon, and she's had 2-3 years to hone her skills. But Spencer, smacking every zombie with the butt of his rifle? Please.
These zombies are dangerous enough to overwhelm Army platoons --- but zero kills against Rick & The Suburb Squad?
The group has previously used fire-as-distraction.
To give Walking Dead an easy out --- I suppose you wouldn't want to randomly burn down buildings/trees, since you'd attract zombies in every direction. How would you know if you're moving away from zombies, or moving directly into a herd of 5,000 zombies?
<not that="" 5,000="" zombies="" is="" a="" big="" deal,="" after="" sunday's="" episode="">(not that 5,000 zombies is anything to worry about, after Sunday's episode)
Also an easy out for the bloody-gut ponchos --- what if somebody mistakenly identifies you as zombie, and shoots you.</not>
Fortunately, TWD has always been about humans-as-threats (and not the zombies) --- and that theme has grown, season by season.
So the silver-lining of Sunday's episode (now that the zombie-threat has become a joke)........going forward, I don't think the viewers will be "forced" to believe too many zombie-threat scenarios. Instead, 90% of the conflict will be human vs human.
