But they really did show the windows a thing or two!! <—— lmao

 

I should've read this before posting my thread. Honestly, I agree 100%. Somehow Rick and his crew can hit a walker in between the eyes with a revolver at 100 meters after running 3 kilometers and not eating for 3 days... Yet Negan and his top Lieutenants are standing on a platform with no protection after Rick's crew sniped the rooftop guards and they can't hit 1 of them... Then Rick has Negan laying in that tube a short distance away and Rick unloads a clip, not hitting him once...

 

Amen?

I just want to know why Father Gabriel didn't kill Negan. He has a gun!

 

Same reason he didn't leave Gregory to die.

 

That's not the same reason. He took pity on Gregory for being weak like he once was. Gabriel has been shown to kill dangerous/hostile people. He seesm to take pity on weaker people because he feel they can change so the Gregory incident makes sense. WIth Negan of all people he wouldn't show hesitation to if they didn't break character.

 

I love TWD and it takes a lot for me to criticize it. But damn. That was a very badly written episode. And for it to be the 100th, we all expected better to kick off AOW.

 

I was surprised at the quality for this episode.... I expected more. It was okay overall. The constant switching between timelines (like the flash forward and the dream sequence) was a distraction.

The whole shooting at the windows was dumb - waste of bullets and while it's obvious they weren't focusing on the lieutenants - in an effort to lure the herd - still a waste. Even when they opened fire at that car at the satellite outpost. Smh.

Overall it was alright, not the greatest but I hope the rest of the season will be good.

 

I have to agree with this somewhat. I thought the episode was good for setting up the season but it was very dumb the way it played out if looking at it from a realistic stand point. Thats one of the issues I have when the show tries to stick to the comic story because some things just don't transfer well to TV. They should've completely changed this attack strategy. But I'm still looking forward to the following episodes

 

Heres the thing that put me off: it was episode 100...the season 8 premiere...the beginning of AOW, and NOTHING happened, besides Gabe getting trapped. It was so disjointed and obsessed with being artsy that they lost the plot. I've seen people asking WTF was going on with the episode, and thats because the writers are reaching for that Emmy gold.
What happened to the show? It wasn't a great episode, it was a terrible premiere, and a shit show of a 100th episode.
And before some Schmuck comes on here and is like "Well hur dur you can do better? hur durrrrr"
I can't. But the thing is if I'm noticing issues that are being passed over or ignored by professional writers, then the show is in deep shit.
I hope the season gets better, I really do, but the fact is the episode sucked harder than a college girl on a milkshake straw.
Edit: spelling. Sigh

 

Maybe our expectations were higher because of all the build up.

The only part that I really liked, was when the one box Daryl blew up, the walker near by, kind of skidded across the road.

 

This episode should get them a Darwin?

 

Probably ran out of ammo. Gabriel and the rest of Rick's group were shooting out Sanctuary's windows before Rick gave the order to withdraw.

Its always funny how TWD characters have infinite ammo until their backs are against the wall.

 

The only thing Rick's crew hates worse than Negan is ... factory windows. they must be destroyed on sight! Give them a break, what a pane.
Remember when they had to go to a great effort to make one bullet. Now they have them to waste.
What is Rick's plan ... to let pigeons infest the factory and drive out Negan's crew with their droppings?

 

Daryl told Rick that Negan is a stickler about leaving shoes by the door, so all the Saviors inside Sanctuary are going around in their socks, and now with the windows shot out, they'll cut their feet on the shattered glass and surrender.

 

I haven't seen the episode but hoh boy. Flashforwards and disjointed time again? Are they ever going to change formulas that have never ever ever worked for them?

 

I'm afraid not. It's going to get even worse because...

 

But I would LOVE that!!

 

If he ran out of ammo they should show him running out of ammo outside, clearly...spend like 5 seconds on it, and make up the time by having carl walk 5 seconds less earlier in the episode Carl walks at least 30 seconds, just shorten that to 25. How the show chooses to spend these precious seconds just baffles me sometimes.
