Not a shark jump for me. I don't like that they did it, but it wasn't like he got bit and then lived anyways. To me, that would be a huge shark jump and I don't know if I'd even continue on after that. But this? Meh. Dumb, but it's over now so who cares.

 

Not a shark jump. We knew he miraculously survived, I'm just glad they finally showed it so we can move on.

 

Not too bad at all, actually. Not the best idea, but it turned out much better than I was expecting.

 

I didn't think was a shark jump. But I did start worrying when they said Steven was going to be on Talking Dead and that there would be a message from Steven 10 minutes into "Into The Badlands". I was afraid he' be taken away right after giving him back.

 

I'm still waiting for Glenn to anal-yze and ass-ess the situation. That massive shit is coming.

 

Once I knew Glenn was alive, I knew there was no way that they could do it that would satisfy me so I moved on from this weeks ago. It is what it is. I've accepted it and am glad Glenn is still alive.

 

To be completely honest I was like

 

Wait till Maggie gives birth, then we can anal-yze the massive shit baby.

 

Guys, it's fairly simple. He refused to die for Maggie. He lives and breathes Maggie. Maggie, Maggie, Maggie.

On a serious note, I didn't like it from the start but it was easier to see since I expected it. I could sit here and say that if they do this again then screw the show, I'll stop watching, but that's a lie. So it's whatever.

Long live Asian Glenn​

I liked the dumpster scene itself, when Nicholas shot himself and such. That was really shocking, in a good way. And I liked the idea that Glen's forgiving and optimistic nature was nearly his undoing. But this is he/isn't he game TPTB have been playing with us in the media over the last few weeks was a total marketing gimmick, and I think it was unnecessary, because there have been and will be enough shocking scenes this season to talk about without trying to create an internet buzz.

Also, I'm sorry but I think it was pretty unrealistic that Glen was able to pull himself under the dumpster before any of the walkers grabbed him. Once he was underneath, yes, having the dead walker bodies block him from the live walkers made total sense and was pretty clever, actually.

Overall, I'm glad he's alive. I'm not going to say it was a shark jump, but it was a bit cheesy imo.

 

You were like, "That's a lovely accent you have... New Jersey?" Weird thing to say. He's Korean.

 

It was actually quite alright, mostly because of his onscreen time and dynamic we have with Enid. Their rapport and the relationship/kindred back and forth kicks off strong and their great acting did make up for the fake-out death. Yeun was on his A-game acting-wise and when he says "this isn't for Maggie anymore", I was like, finally, some vision out of the tunnel. He's showing Enid how he cares about her life at that moment as well as those inside the walls. Not sharky at all.

 

Whatever.

 

I would call it an utterly unnecessary use of "The reset button". It's been a great season , we would have watched without the cheap trick. I would have thought it was equally suspenseful ,if they showed Glenn in 3 reaching for the dumpset and pulling himself just a little bit. I don't want to have to watch for a Macgyveresque escape every week. Carol and Meryl's "deaths" worked because we didn't see them "die" even Judith's "death" from 4 gave a better "out". It is starting to remind me of shows from the 80s "If we don't get on this helicopter , this one right here that I have my hand on and am already lifting my foot to board , the planet will be doomed!!" cut to helicopter taking off and exploding. Next week h we randomly decided to take the other helicopter that was cleverly hidden.

If they are going to do a reset of main cast members deaths , I'm not going to stop watching but I'm not going to care all that much next time someone dies. We knew in the 80s The A team didn't really explode , it didn't ruin the show but once TWD makes it a rule "we reset main charters deaths" there is no real drama in deaths.

 

I think they pulled it off, just find the drama of it all a little much. Did they really need to leave it unanswered for so damn long? Made it feel cheap. & when he frantically drank that sip of water and then freaked out and threw it I rolled my eyes a bit. He was under there for one night, like chill. So thirsty. Mostly loved this episode though.

 

These are my thoughts word for word!!!
