The Walking Dead

In all actuality, Glen can be blamed for his own death, when he acted out when Negan put Lucille in Maggie's face. Negan will "shut that shit down", remember?

anyone know what the f-bomb count was for Negan in the season premier?

Glen was pretty much living on borrowed time anyway.

Have they released the alternate version of the episode? I would LOVE to see that.

A martyr eh. I'm not seeing that. He'd be a pile of entrails just like Glen and Abraham were...

What does this mean? Dead is dead.

 

[TheRangerDude]

I agree with @calsnowskier, that-that scene meant nothing.


He was literally imaging what Negan asked him?


fwiw, I thought that was the worst scene of the episode....reminded me of Happy Gilmore and Chubbs.

Meh, Negan is responsible for Glenn's death... not Glenn, not Darryl.

Still can't believe Abraham's last words were "Suck my nuts"



It's a TV-MA Show and you say that c'mon script writers

All the kids are saying it. If they weren't, they are now.

Sure. I knew people would disagree. Fair enough. But from Hitchcock -------> Tarantino, there's MORE 'feeling' with your imagination than with it being shown to you. The shower scene from Psycho -------> the ear scene in Reservoir Dogs.

But we live in a 'Saw' universe now, so more is more. (now I sound like a 'get off my lawn! old guy)

At any rate, I don't think stuff like that should be banned, or anything. Just voicing my opinion. You can have Neegan be as hated by making 3 or 4 frame cuts, leaving the sound in. The emotional impact is the same or even greater.

The chase for realism will always have limits. We can see a character go off in the woods to do their business, and grok what's happening, without needing a closeup of the shit coming out of their asshole, or see the rash that they get in 1080p after using tree leaves to wipe.

I think it may come down to how realistic they actually make the gruesome scenes appear. One way to bypass limitations in make-up and special effects is to use the imagination angle. I think if the gruesome scene is done well enough, it can actually enhance the emotional impact.

In this case, I think Glenn's bashed skull was done exceptionally well and looked amazingly realistic. My heart sunk a bit when I was able to see what happened to one of our favorite characters.

That's just my take on it. To each their own obviously.

Might not see the alt until the blu ray comes out

Sounded like he was trying to tell Maggie he loved her but couldn't form the words with the damage. I thought that was impactful.

I think he was able to get out "I will find you" something like that...

 

[Nosferatu]

I don't think it really matters if Maggie's baby lives or not, how often do we actually see the little ass kicker? Also, shouldn't she be a toddler running around getting into shit and talking... Maybe my memory is messed up but it seems like they are still portraying her like she is about 2 years old...

 

[Nosferatu]

It sucked to see Glenn go but it had to be done, it was stupid he made it out of the dumpster scene alive especially the way Gimple and them handled it all.

Nearly brought a tear to mine eye when on talking dead they did the tribute and they showed the tank scene "Hey you, dumbass! Yeah you in the tank"

 

[Nosferatu]

I know Abe was on borrowed time as well as Denise took his death but it surprises me a little that he was killed off now, I think his character was still fresh and had plenty of things they could have done with him. Just my opinion...

Kirkman actually admitted later that if he could go back, he would not kill off Abe in the comics. Well, he was able to go back but still killed him. Granted, the show has Daryl so maybe he wasn't as concerned about saving Abe.

Yeah we see 2 dudes heads get bashed in and smashed to bits and pieces, but god forbid they say "fuck" or "shit".

Next episode we'll find out that Glenn is actually fine.
