LOL, thank god someone got it.

If not I would have wept for humanity

LOL I got the reference as I read it.
I just thought "Swallow flight time" comments were the same as "We don't need not stinkin' (whatever)" comments. Just part of the language these days.

Karl is no stupider than the adults! RAWR.

True, but he fucks up the timeline.

But yeah, he really should have gotten killed at the finale of S2 because it's not his fault. Puberty happens. If you want to do a show where kids stay kids indefinitely you do a goddamn cartoon and you get a woman to voice your little boys! It ain't that difficult.

If they want to keep Karl they could just have Judith age at the same rate, that would be easier to do. Or have her get killed since she doesn't really add anything to the story.

They are almost a part of the lexicon to the point of not being connected to the source material.

Monty Python is timeless.

But I can see how you might not have seen it as pretending to be a woman on the internet is very time consuming.

But they could be very informative to watch

....Like I said, no one under 60 got it.

 

[Sean Renaud]

I'm barely halfway to sixty and I started it!

 

[ms_ann_thrope]

Likely story.

 

[Sean Renaud]

Tis true!

I have a question though.

Do you float?

We all float down here. . .

 

[ms_ann_thrope]

Prove it. Post a pic.

 

[Sean Renaud]

I don't haz boobs.

 

[ms_ann_thrope]

Yep...you're at least 60.

 

[about_average]

Tis true!

I have a question though.

Do you float?

If she weighs the same as a duck she's made of wood and so will float.
You know that!

Not for nearly three decades I'm not!

Jeffrey Dean Morgan cast as Negan

Rick is surrounded by 20,000 zombies in an rv that won't start, miles from home, and the next episode he just shows up, fine. And then...gets rewarded with some post apocalypse boob.

 

[Sean Renaud]

This is Rick, he's second only to Ash when it comes to kicking undead ass. 20k? They might have slowed him down if they'd learned some basic multiplication.

 

[about_average]

Anyone else notice how, for being very quiet, they were making a hell of a lot of noise in Alexandria?

 

[ms_ann_thrope]

Love is in the air.

 

[spacekowboy]

Glenn is alive and calling for help. Predictable...

Love is in the air.

Abraham wanted to get it on with Sasha because he had and audience. He likes to perform while being watched. Instead of peeper Eugene, he had a walker watcher.

 

[Libsam]

Glenn is alive and calling for help. Predictable...

There was a signal from Glen? I must have missed that detail.

Last scene.

 

[Sean Renaud]

For what it's worth Norman Reedus (Daryl) said that's not Glenn. Not that they aren't all lying liars who lie. We also know there are at minimum two other groups in the immediate area. The Wolves (who don't seem to have radios but who knows) and whatever the name is of the "Kneelers" group and we know that they DO have radios.

Glenn being a live at this point is just good story telling. From a sheerly "that's now how you write a story" POV they waited too long to show us the corpse so obviously there isn't one. (Though if he's a walker and somehow nearly kills Maggie that would still be inbounds.) Otherwise the last three weeks were a huge and ultimately stupid misdirect.

 

[VaticanAssassin]

SPOILER


Well he is alive.

I do not think anyone is too shocked.

Now if he ends up getting his head bashed in by the new bad guy, same bad guy that turns his brains to mush in the comics, there will be some real bitching!!!!

 

[Wrong Element]

So now that we know it wasn't Glen, who was it calling for help? The two who fucked Daryl over I'm guessing?

The timeline of these episodes is a little fluid, so I'm not sure we do know that yet. It's possible Glenn is calling for help after witnessing the events that ended this past episode -- I am assuming that whatever happens next week will involve Daryl, Sasha, and Abraham saving the day somehow, because otherwise they seem completely screwed.

Rick is surrounded by 20,000 zombies in an rv that won't start, miles from home, and the next episode he just shows up, fine. And then...gets rewarded with some post apocalypse boob.

That was somewhat unexplained. Glenn surviving what happened in the last episode last spring (he had been shot and was apparently swamped by walkers) was even more inexplicable.

This latest Great Escape was at least shown, but it didn't seem at all plausible considering everything we've learned about the walkers.

Let's just say this has not been my favorite half-season. I think the half-season format, requiring separate narrative arcs and climaxes twice a year, is not working out so well.
