Putting bags over prisoners heads is "standard operating procedure" anywhere in the world with or without a Zombie Apocalypse. If you noticed they bagged Travis and Alicia before removing them from the boat. We bag prisoners before they were taken to Gitmo. Somali pirates bag their prisoners, so does ISIS, etc. You don't want prisoners seeing too much about their environment like where they are, how do you get in and hence out, whats the layout of the facility, what kind of security, where are the guards posted , how are they armed, etc...

As for the people at the hacienda not lifting a finger to stop Celia (She's NOT "Mrs Abigail" she was Mrs Flores, Louis' mother, and the head maid / nanny) they wouldn't. She is the head witch at the cult. Santa Muerte is the "Official Religion" of the compound. Hence the altar / shrine, the owls carved in the trees, etc. To people who follow Santa Muerte killing the local villagers, particularly Catholics, is not some great travesty it is more like "Tuesday". Remember these are the people responsible for the violence plaguing Mexico. the narco cartels, the gangs, etc. To the other maids this isn't a crime of "celia has gone nuts" this is "our time" when "we will rule" and the reign of the government, the church, the powerful is over.... These are GOOD times for them...

 

Jumping the shark gets used way too much. Nothing in TWD or FTWD is close to jumping the shark. It has to be such an epic fail it becomes lore even for future generations to frown upon. I saw the Happy Days episode when it was first aired that gave us the shark jumping scene. It was so cringe worthy, in fact, just thinking about it makes me squirm in disgust.

Jumping the shark in the TWD universe would be this. When Negan hits his victim with Lucille. The bat bounces out of his hands, it flies through the air, hitting and killing Dwight, then the bat bounces off Dwights head and strikes Negan in the throat, killing him instantly.

 

It's called "Nuking the Fridge" now, if I recall correctly. ;p

 

I hear they're gearing up for another Indiana Jones film. I bet ideas of how to top that are being brainstormed as we speak.

 

My votes are for;

Running on Lava
Punching the Rhino
Holding up the Mountain
or
Blowing out the Sun

 

NOOOOOO!!!!!! Don't even joke about that - Gimple et. al are still trying to figure out how they will get out of the hole they dug with this cliff hanger thing and I shudder to think what they could do with an idea like that. As it stands now Im almost expecting to see Eugene reprise his pecker chomping scene, giving Glenn the opportunity to get himself and Maggie under the nearest dumpster, thus providing critical seconds for Beth, Morgan and Nick from FTWD to arrive with "The Murphy" from Z-Nation - who will use his zombie telepathy to command Negan to commit suicide by eating pudding until goes into a diabetic coma...

Think I'm kidding. Remember the barn, they had a "Zomnado".... LOL

 

Nuking the Fridge for movies, Jumping the Shark for TV shows.

 

3 posts and done ?

What a WIMP ! Or a troll coward .

POO on you ! Zombie Poo to boot ! And all of the farts around them .

May those farts of zombies, camels, and New Jersey Italians surround you for the rest of your putrid days !

 

I tend to agree with the intent of the original post. The group seeks refuge on a large farm in the countryside. There are walkers being penned up and fed by the people on the farm who believe the walkers are still alive. The farm catches fire and walkers overrun the farm. Now where have I seen this play out before....?

Speaking of walkers overrunning the place, the ones in the fields, where did they come from? The ones in the wine cellar got burned up. When Strand left the farm there weren't any walkers hanging out...

 

You make some good points, but dude, paragraphs are your friend

 

So this should be your last post in the FTWD forum.

Goodbye.

 

this show is an epic fail

 

It's all about the chemistry. Gotta respect the chemistry. Not only do you need solid actors and writers who are good in and of themselves, but they have to be good as part of an ensemble cast. I think part of what's not quite working in this show is the yacht, the floating palace. Many times you don't get the sense that anyone is really suffering, so yeah, a deus ex machina is not always a good thing. The walker in the well episode was my first introduction to TWD, and that literally blew me away. I'm not sure what they can do on Fear for shock and awe value that hasn't already been tried on TWD.
