hogan873 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 (edited) QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Oct 24, 2016 -> 08:20 AM) TWD getting some mixed reviews, but I really think last night's episode and its underlying violence was needed to move the show forward. We need to understand clearly why Rick would succumb to someone like Negan and the brutality last night demonstrates why. I thought it was an excellent episode. Easily the most violent scenes ever on "regular" TV. You're right on about showing how Rick changed. It will be interesting to see how this season plays out. A thought: After Abraham was killed, I was a little disappointed because I didn't think the death was big enough. But, Negan's sudden killing of Glenn got a "Holy s***!" out of me. That was so brutal. Edited October 24, 2016 by pittshoganerkoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except I think there is going to be a meaningful collision course between the Man in Black and Delores. But I don't know why yet. Yeah, and Anthony Hopkins finally showing his power and creepiness there too. No idea what this "maze" business is though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't read the comics, but I understand that Negan is supposed to be a really bad guy but also can be charming and funny. I laughed out loud (and felt really bad about it) when he was driving the RV and a zombie's head exploded against the window and Negan said, "Remind you of anyone you know?"

His ability to play that character is incredible. When he let Rick off the hook late in the episode she actually found herself liking him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, what they did, made the episode so much more powerful. IT took me into the what else is going to happen next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Plus, it's completely different when you compare a comic still to video footage of someone's head getting bashed in repeatedly. I don't either. I'm just saying that it's not like they were making it extra gory just for shock factor or anything like that. They were just following the already established scenes. You can google side-by-side comparisons and see how they copied many of the comic panels almost exactly. I don't think it was any worse than anything else we've seen on the show already. I remember when they discovered they could cover themselves in the walkers' blood and walk among them unnoticed. One of the characters literally had some intestines hanging around his neck. Or the time that Daryl's brother stuck his bloody stump on that hot plate to stop the bleeding. Or any time we see somebody literally torn apart by the walkers. The only difference in this episode is that the gore was coming from a character that many people loved. So that's probably made it seem worse.
