Again, I think the ‘this is misery/torture porn’ criticism to be a little thin. I think its a way to put a gloss of high criticism on the fact that a given person just doesn’t like the fact that certain characters die or that they just don’t like the amount of violence in the show. Which, y’know, fair enough but at…

If Darryl kept himself in check, Glenn would be alive. That is indisputable.

Also, how is Darryl not getting more shit? He’s actually the reason Glenn is dead.

Couldn’t agree more. My buddy and I said the same thing last night - end S6 with Abraham saying “Suck my nuts,” then Negan delivering one last blow - cut to black. The discussion over the summer would have been what the hell do Rick, et al. do going forward.

He just needs some HeadOn.

I did all of those things and I was still disappointed. And I’m not even one of the season six haters - I thought season six was fucking awesome. But last night was just waaay too drawn out. I understand the producers were trying to break Rick down but FFS, they could have done that whole thing (killing Glenn, making…

They could have pulled this off so much better by killing Abraham last season, putting everyone off guard under the idea that “hey they killed a main character but not the one we expected.” Leaving you to wonder how the rest were getting out of this, and then OPENED with Glenn becoming roadkill.

I think glenn is coming back from this one. I have a feeling.

Honestly, killing Maggie would have been the best choice. The fake out with Abraham is still fine. It works well to misdirect expectations. But to kill a pregnant woman and her unborn child on screen would have been unbelievably impactful.

Oh God said to Abraham, “Kill me a son”
Abe says, “Man, you must be puttin’ me on”
God say, “No.” Abe say, “What?”
God say, “You can do what you want Abe, but
The next time you see me comin’ you better run”
Well Abe says, “Where do you want this killin’ done?”
God says, “Out on Highway 61” -Bob Dylan

It would have been hilarious if he killed, like, a brand-new character who only appears in this scene, and wasn’t visibly in the lineup last season. And everyone reacted with like, “Oh, no! He killed Jimmy!” “Not Jimmy!” “Poor Jimmy!”

It was pretty much panel for panel. His eye popped out while he was talking with a crushed head. The whole image. I was a bit shocked honestly. Even showed his eye sitting in the pile of gore that was his head. But they can’t say fuck or show nudity. Go figure.

The eyeball was so gross. Ugh.

The eyeball will haunt my dreams

Suck my nuts!!! And oh my god, that eyeball.

Narratively, I have no problem with this development. People exist in this world to die horribly.

Also, food distribution, emergency services, financial transactions, utilities, and upwards of 80% of general commerce.

Ah, but see on the first day your glasses will fall off and break and won’t that be a sad irony?

Why, it’s as if things have changed over the last 20 years! Whoda thunk it? Do you really not know how much of the economy and various services rely on the Internet now? Yes, we can theoretically make do without, but there are a lot more aspects of society that utilize the Web than your list of entertainment and…

Business. Many businesses depend on internet nowadays. Losing all internet for say, 2 days would make me to pack my stuff and hand in my resignation. And I’m not the only one.
