The Walking Dead "The Walking Dead" General Stuff & Thaaaangs Thread - - Part 11

even in the comic, its pretty easy to tell how it missed his brain.

Looks like it didn't hit him straight on; more like it hit him at an angle from the inside to outside corner of his eye socket.

In the episode this camera shot was shocking (I actually jumped up from my couch), but that gif sadly shows how computer generated the eye socket is; you can see how much it "jumps around" from not being properly matched to his head movement. (Not a dig at the show; it's amazing what they can do with the budget and time they have; just interesting to note and see signs of how they did things)

Pretty sure it was a prosthetic as per Nicotero. He explained the rig and showed the behind the scenes on TD. They touched it up in post I believe but I think that's it.

It was only a prosthetic for a few shots. The reveal shot was a digital composite of Chandler Rigs and a dummy they made - they recorded the same movement with a dummy and then pasted that onto Chandler's face in editing.

Rick's decision to take on all those walkers by himself was idiotic. The way everyone went to join him was equally idiotic. what were they planning on doing when their arms got tired?

When Rick went all ax-man, it really harked back to his time at the prison where Lory dies. This is that "bad person" inside him that some times comes out without notice. Like he told Daryl in season 5, it may not be all of him, but that part of him is in there, and it's why Carl and others have been able to stay alive. It's just sort of what he does when his chips are down.
As for the others joining in, I think it worked because it was so stupid. It was like the whole town said to themselves, "now is our best shot, and we've got to muster up the courage to fight with Rick, even if it kills us." It's not as if the Alexandrians didn't see the danger; what's important is that they took a stand despite the danger. No more running, no more attempting to run - it's time to fight through them. One of the more inspirational episodes that way.

Saw that this morning. Interesting to say the least.

I agree with people saying this should have been the mid-season finale instead of premiere. I think the cliffhangers we were left with last year were rubbish when they just petered out so quickly.

Whilst Daryl blasting Negan's gang so quickly and efficiently looked cool, it just felt pointless. I mean how long will it be that the rest if the group turn up and there won't be any hatred more than what these guys had because they won't know who blew them up. Also, how did they not hear Daryl fighting that guy and how did Daryl get the RPG without people realising.

And then in the mid-season finale we see Sam beginning to cry but he was fine now. It just felt like they wanted to drag it out a little bit longer. It didn't feel natural.

But other than that it was fine. The second half of the episode was brilliant. I've seen some reviews complain about Daryl using an RPG on the lake but like someone on here said, they need the noise as a distraction. I've also seen a criticism that Maggie was safe and could have moved from the rickety tower to the perfectly stable walkway that Edith? Used.

I loved the town getting together and seeing some redshirted actually get into the action. It made the town feel like an actual town and felt more like what the comics were in which it was about community and not just Rick and a few others saving everyone.

I loved seeing some humanity from the Alpha Wolf and seeing the regret on Carol's face when she sees him barge walkers out of the way to get Denise some space to run. Also glad we saw little of Morgan who just annoyed me last year. And finally that as everyone started running out to help that Spencer and Rosita instantly got together. I think they're nice together and would love for that to be explored more. I don't like her with Abraham.

See the link Reek posted above. Someone might have seen him do it.

You are underestimating the sneakiness.

Poor Carl didn't see that one coming...

 

[Reek]

Next time he'll keep both eyes open.

It didn't really work because it was stupid so much as they were lucky that Daryl came along and saved the day. I can see the symbolic significance of their willingness to fight for their town though.

If Michonne had sliced Ron's arm off instead of stabbing him would the outcome have been different? You could argue the gun would never have gone off and Carl would have been spared.

Then again, I understand Michonnes quick thinking actions. She saw a someone pointing a gun at her dear Rick so she had to eliminate them at all costs. She is a good friend.

I hadn't clicked on the link yet. That is very interesting and excited me but the car thing I don't see as being true. I think it was probably just a mistake.

And nah, even if you ignore the fight the RPG would be in the front part of the truck. He would have had to open the doors and grab it no more than ten feet from where the bikers were. Not even Daryl could be that sneaky. Ah well. The second half of the episode made up for it. It was so early on I'll repress those parts of the episode into my memories if the first half of the season so it can go along with the garbage that was.

There's no second guessing Michonne in this instance.. She HAD to kill him. Cutting off his arm may have saved Carls eye, but it would also cause the kid the scream like hell and cause them to have to help another survivor to safety.

Kid needed to go for more reasons than not. she should have cut the little ****s head off.

I didn't notice the car, but I definitely did think to myself on Sunday night that Negan has a reason to kill off Daryl now ...

yea i didn't notice the car either, nor did i really think of it as a thing... the rest of the article talking about Reedus working on a new series and the recent rumors of him working with Del Toro caught my attention.

She would have had to maneuver around Ron and raise the sword. Not only would this have cost precious seconds, he might have noticed her and moved. Plus, there's always the chance that the gun would have hit the ground and gone off anyway. She took the only logical action.

The rest of the article failed to mention that Reedus is working on the new show now, as we speak. Filming for The Walking Dead is always in the summer and fall. Rumors are just that, rumors. Until there's something concrete there's nothing to say that Reedus isn't coming back to the show.

Reedus, filming his new show as of about 10 days ago:

Also if he's off the show, why leave the long hair? Why not cut it to the way he's always had it? Also, it's 6-episode reality show, this isn't AMC's version of Son's of Anarchy.

Seriously, you really think Glen, Maggie and the baby are all going to survive and live happily ever after at Alexandria or [BLACKOUT]at the Hilltop[/BLACKOUT]?

 

[Reek]

I just really think they should kill of Daryl for many reasons.. Why is everyone so butt hurt about that lol and it makes sense professionally since Reedus has lots of offers to do other things

Ok, that's fine and all, but who's getting butt hurt? I'm just posting facts about the way the show has been playing out since the beginning. And what I've read from the Spoiling Dead fb page.

And Lauren Cohan has equally if not more offers to do other things professionally as well, she just had her first starring movie, going to be in the upcoming Batman/Superman movie, is filming the Tupac biopic. Out of that entire cast, it looks like she's about to break out.

Like I've been asking, does anyone really think Glen, Maggie and the baby are all going to survive and live happily ever after?

 

[Reek]

Nope.. not at all do I think that... i just thinks its pretty pathetic to have Glen [BLACKOUT]meet Lucille[/BLACKOUT] at this point considering [BLACKOUT]hes escaped 2 ridiculously stupid situations[/BLACKOUT]... it becomes overkill when it leads up to Negan (if its Glen)

[BLACKOUT]"It's about time" comes to mind when thinking about Glen dying now (which is far from the reaction I would want for Negans big moment). I suppose it could be Maggie... i dont deny that.[/BLACKOUT]

Cohan probably shot BvS back in 2014. And since she's playing Martha Wayne it's obviously a small role. I'm betting her role in the Tupac biopic, which also features Danai Gurira as the rapper's mother, is small also. I believe the biopic is shooting in Atlanta. So it's close by TWD shooting location.

 

[The Joker]

The Martha Wayne part could be filmed in less than a day. It's a tiny role, unless there's heaps of flashbacks to her in the movie, which seems really unlikely. Besides big roles or small, actors have been known to juggle TV shows with their movie careers. Michael J Fox used to alternate between Family Ties and Back to the Future.
