The Walking Dead season 6

Dull episode full of the usual "It's bad to kill people"/"but we have to!" conversations.

The guy who stopped Carol in his car was a terrible actor.

If Maggie's baby is born intercutting with Glenn being murdered that's the most predictable thing ever?

Did they ADR the guy saying "you'll be alright" at the end just so that it's not yet anothe death fakeout cliffhanger?
 
You might be right on that last point (... In particular). Both the sound and blood on the camera felt really out of place, as if they were afterthoughts.

I liked some aspects of the episode. It's always interesting when they go on a bit of a road trip and we get to see other groups, even if, despite the surely low numbers of survivors from the initial outbreak and the fact that they're in what was already a rural area, they don't seem to be able to go anywhere without bumping into someone or finding a fresh zombie.

Happy to see more of Carol, too, after last week's ending made it seem like we'd have a long wait. Not much cooler than someone who's so badass that she scares herself and genuinely feels the need to warn people to back off for their own safety.

The ending didn't provoke much reaction in me. Partly because everyone's been saying for a while now that Norman Reedus is leaving, partly because Darryl's actually got kind of dull lately, but mostly because we've come to expect "shock" endings and cliffhangers. I'd be more shocked if there wasn't a "shock" death/shoulder injury once per episode. I wish they'd focus more on making characters interesting based on how they live, than how they die.
 
Well, Negan is a long winded prick. Tired of these bad guys being so freaking evil. It's like what is the point of humanity surviving because most are assholes.

Now have to wait forever to find out who Ngan killed. Then, have to wait and see how Rick, Carl, and Michonne come back from this.
 
That was an anticlimax. Book readers had hyped it up so much, but we've had much better episode this year. Neegan was well acted, but somehow even the last scene lacked tension. Probably because it dragged on so long.
 
Well in the comic Negan swears a lot. That's why he's so memorable. And Rick didn't effortlessly slaughter fifty of his guys before he used Lucille so it was a bit more shocking and evil!

It's funny how the Saviours have been pretty useless up until now but suddenly Negan's one of those unstoppable horror movie villains who sets up overly elaborate traps.

Like I said, a lot.
 
When did Jeffrey Dean Morgan get so skinny? He didn't seem that skinny playing Thomas Wayne in Batman V Superman. SPOILER ALERT-HE DIES IN THAT ONE.
 
Maybe next season will start with a flashback episode showing how Negan got so skinny and we won't find out who died until episode two.
