Alright big guy - i'm just saying. We can leave it at that if that's your wish.

What's that clip supposed to show me? She took 3-4 shots after it panned away from the walkers. Then the scene quickly cuts away. There was plenty of room for her to scream after the 3-4 shots she took. Then duck behind the door after the scene cut. Hell... she could have simply turned right as they were approaching.

I don't really care either way, but she obviously was on the verge of turning herself. I just find it humorous how much nitpicking happens with this show.

The clip was just to have it here as a reference since that is the scene we were discussing. It's all words but the tone i'm getting is making me think you are getting bent out of shape over this.

It's fun nitpicking. As I referenced in my above posts, it's the "c'mon" and "no way" moments. This was one of those moments when 1) no way was she able to get out of that room if she shut the door and later turned. The entire series shows walkers being trapped in rooms. 2) no way, if she got out of that room, she wasn't attracted to the living making noises killing the horde and/or not attracted to the pond fire thereby becoming a casualty.

Spencer mentioned seeing her "that night" so obviously he didn't try to kill her but no one else saw her?

FYI - you literally die first before you turn. So she can't stand there screaming and do some spasms then all of a sudden be a walker.

I'm not getting bent out of shape, the exact opposite, in fact... I literally said that I don't really care either way.

I'm just saying that there are a variety of ways it could have happened and people should try chilling and simply enjoying the show instead of nitpicking every possible detail every week. It's exhausting.

I'm with wooly. You are really nitpicking here on a scene that has nothing to do with the plot. The entire Spencer/Deanna thing was a character development scene and nothing more. I can understand some nitpicking on plot points (like how did Jesus manage to get out of his restraints, climb on the roof without making a sound all within 5 seconds), but the character development stuff is not a big deal IMO.

Guys, guys, guys, my goodness. I'm not nitpicking in the sense that i'm annoyed with the show and calling it stupid.

This series is my second favorite behind GoT. I just watched the first 4 seasons on Netflix over the last three weeks.

This thread has 1400+ posts. We watch an episode, we come on here and discuss our thoughts about it and the anticipation of the next.

I made my comment about Richonne and Daryick. I also said I simply found it odd how Deanna got out of there unscathed - 1) by the walkers 2) by the living.

fitz mentioned he had a beef with that...not me (sorry for the bus fitz). Wooly made a comment of a possibility as to why she got to where she was. My logic after watching the series and what I took from that episode made me comment with the "buts." We then were trying to have a discussion over it.

How things happen and why they happen and to whom and if or if not it affects the plot doesn't matter to me. It's an observation I made from watching the episode and I wanted to express it here.

You hate Jesus. Admit it.

I don't know much about Paul(Jesus) yet to have a solid opinion of him. But as of right now I feel from how he acted in his coming out episode it makes me think his actions will get one of the originals or the Alexandrians killed.

So my guess is the "Jesus" character is one of the Neganites Daryl torched with that RPG...

Damnit.

I think he is the anti-Negan. He hasn't hurt or killed anyone. I figure if he was with Negan and he was standing over a sleeping/unsuspecting Rick and Michonne, he would have killed them both. Saying he and Rick need to talk makes me think he is trying to form an alliance. Just my opinion.

Dude, he's Jesus. I think that says it all.

Here are my thoughts on who will get killed off (I have not read the comics so these are pure guesses other than the vague reference I make below)

I think Abraham is a goner by the end of the season. I think they will use him for that thing Negan does to a different character in the comics.

Alternatively I think he could decide to leave Rosita and before he can tell her Sasha gets killed.

I'm really worried about Daryl. Norman Reedus has that other AMC show starting up soon and supposedly the cast was really upset filming this second half of the season so I think he may be killed. I would be really pissed as he is my favorite character on the show by far.

I think the only "safe" characters the rest of the way this season are:

Rick
Michonne
Carl
Maggie
Carol

That's probably it.

By far, really? Him and Rick are both there for me. I like Rick slightly more. I like that Dabo Sweney-like trance/body trance he goes into when guns or knives are drawn. Like ok son, how do you want to do this, I'm game.

If Daryl Dies... we riot...

Absolutely. The zombiepocalypse is nothing compared to the damage I will do.

Rick can be annoying at times. Daryl is always a badass, always cool, and never annoying.

Rick was pretty good in last nights episode, hope he stays this way.

To each his own. I also love Daryl, but he disappears in episodes and Rick doesn't annoy me at all. So agree to disagree.

Yeah, Rick has his moments. He was definitely too whiny in some of the earlier seasons. He's been pretty good since he tore that guy's throat out in Season 4. I like how he knifed that guy on top of him last night, he stands up with everyone looking at him and he just says "What?" like it was no big deal. Classic. I do like Daryl though, not going to riot if he dies, but I know a few of my buddies said they're done with the show if he's gone. I'm more interested in Negan this season and who he's going to kill. The show is better when you have a strong antagonist to go along with the walker threat imo. Shane, the Governor, the Wolves and Terminus (To a lesser extent), etc.

Not to throw out any spoilers, but Negan was 10x worse than the Governor, and he played a huge part in the comics. The people he took out, and the way he did it...brutal, and it made you want to see him get his just desserts that much more. There's no telling how they'll use him in the TV show, but I have my hopes up. I hope AMC doesn't fuck this up. It's an exciting time, this could be the golden age of the show if they do a decent job of telling the story and they do Negan right. Downside is that if they followed the comics time span wise, meaning if they devoted a proportional number of episodes to the Negan story as they did the comics, that story arc could carry on for 2 full seasons or more. I don't see them doing that, they probably devote most of next season to the Negan arc and that's it.

Wtf!?

I mean thanks for the spoiler.

j/k, I know you're trollin' me. All I really said was that Negan was a bad person and killed a bunch of people in the comics, I didn't give any names though. A lot of people kill in this show, I don't think that was a spoiler. I have a feeling you're pulling my chain, but I just wanted to throw that out there just in case anyone was seriously upset about what I said. I wouldn't give any true spoilers away...like Rick and Daryl's steamy affair that's still to come....

Thought that was one of the best episodes of the series.

I fell asleep right when the breakin starter. Which is almost impossible because that looked like it was going to be an intense scene. Can't believe I did that.

Wow I hope you have DVR.

The last six episodes have been marvelous.

I'll give TWD producers some credit. They have had some slow/boring episodes in the past. But without those kinds of episodes, the one from last night would not have been nearly as good. I was on the edge of my seat and my heart was pounding and a TV show rarely does that to me. They have also made me 100% believe anyone other than Rick can die and that added to the intensity of the episode.

I fully expect at least one and probably 2 major characters to go night night by the end of the season.

I just seen where Reedus has begun filming of another movie.

I hate to say it, but I think it's coming.

That movie is currently out in theaters. But I know he has a few different projects coming out soon so I am definitely worried about him.

I'm worried about them in this order:

- Daryl (I will set a building on fire)
- Heath (Gabriel's rise, and Heath's inability to kill, have turned him into the token black dude. A clear death wish)
- Maggie
- Abraham

Agreed. All 4 are at extreme risk.

Heath is definitely a goner. Tobin is a goner now that he slept with Carol. I think one of Abraham, Rosita, and Sasha are going to die (in that order of likelihood).
