The Walking Dead (no comics spoilers)

No no no Blast I have said it before I do not expect killing every show but I do expect a show. What did we see last night 50% show 50% commercial. The wife did watch it last night so we dvr'd it for her maybe when she watches it I will time it just for ****s and giggles but I have a feeling I have better things to do.

I am not saying the story of Daryl-Dwight and the whole Negan thing don't need to be told. I am saying I am disappointed in how they are telling the stories while leaving other stories out for weeks. For the last 2 weeks we have saw in the previews Negan knocking at the gates where Rick and the group are. Just when are we gonna see that....mid season finale????

I am sorry you think I am crazy but I am pretty sure I am not alone. The season premier had more viewers then the super bowl because of this dumb ass cliff hanger and it was, in the words of Negan......AWSOME! Now since then we haven't seen the results of this, you know the main characters....that's 2 weeks wth???? I understand there are other stories I get it but imo TWD is taking advantage of increased popularity due to this cliff hanger and cashing in with more ads and less show. There is enough show, enough time to cover more then one story, jmo.

I guess we will see next week as the previews show the main group so I guess my bitching will be over.....

 

So true.

As far as this episode, I enjoyed it, but I agree that it's taking a little too long to get back to the rest of the group to see how/what they're doing after the first episode.

Part of me thought Daryl should fake allegiance to Negan to try to earn his trust, and then later make a break for it or do something else, but I think it fit Daryl's character much better to show defiance like he did when he answered "Who are you" with "Daryl." And we may have gotten a little more insight into why Dwight is behaving the way he is, but I still can't stand him and I'd love to see Daryl take him out.

 

Oh, and if you're feeling a little brave, here's this:

 

I did. I thought it was there as a torture tactic, to keep him from being able to sleep and from having any break from the noise, keeping him from getting any peace at all. Throw that in with being naked and sitting on a hard floor continuously, and those are some pretty dire circumstances.

My wife didn't think it was being played in the cell at first, but I pointed out to her that it often started back up on cue when the door was closed, as if it was on purpose. There was also one or two times that the music was still playing, but more softly when Daryl was moving away from the cell, indicating that it was still playing in the cell while he was moving away.

 

At first I thought it was background music for the show but then thought it was real.

 

Yeah, but all that time they spent on this episode still didn't tell us Dwight's story though.

How does he know how to conduct this type of breaking down of a person?

Is that his sole job to break new captures that Negan brings in?

What exactly did he do for Negan before the betrayal and face ironing besides being his right hand man?

Exactly what does right hand man entail? Sure looks like there's not much overseeing going on by him or any high level planning and coordination.

 

I assumed that Dwight knew how to do this because it had been done to him. He said some things to Daryl that indicated that he'd been through it and that he knew how Daryl was feeling, and that he'd break eventually. But Daryl is proving that he's tougher than Dwight was.

 

Not cool! Not cool at all!

 

I agree!

 

Yeah, and some guy who thinks it's funny keeps playing it for me on his cell everytime he sees me at work because he knows it drives me bonkers. Not nice!

I don't know why I tell people stuff. I'm turning into the female version of @Ray D.

 

Yeah, thinking this will be another bottle episode. What was that other set of people that are out there alone? If we're going to get another settlement meeting, they have to spend an episode on that.
