If all the so called professional critics and viewers are complaining
about how the opening was done, then stop whining and quit watching the
show then.

Damn, get a load of this douchebag.

You got that entirely right, and it's just as bad a set of ideas as you describe.

Yeah, but many think that by putting off showing who died until this season made it have less of an impact. I agree; to me it would've been a lot more brutal to end the season with Abe getting hit—then nobody's expecting Glenn to get nailed in the first episode of the season and it's doubly brutal.

That's a MUCH better idea—it would've been so much more resonant if the far end of the table was populated by a large number of the deceased. If it had Glenn, Abe… then Dr. Cloyd, Deanna and other deceased Hilltop residents… then Andrea, Tyreese, T.Dog, Lori, Dale, Sophie, Shane… the vast number of the deceased would…

Not so fast - I was also completely confused about the axe and I wasn't hoping that something confusing would happen. It looked to me like Negan threw the axe out the door onto the ground. Then for no apparent reason it was on top of the camper. This made no sense to me at all.

I still stand by KOTCS being a solid adventure film only marred by some
bad CGI, and some silly sequences, and that anyone still complaining
about the nuke the fridge scene is stupid.

I wonder if he felt "done" with aliens after Close Encounters, E.T., and War of the Worlds. But somehow could conceptualize interdimensional beings differently from them.

No dispute.

I'm late to this conversation, but I don't know… this is the character who literally made a kid eat his own parents. He spend days presenting his left hand as Jennifer Lopez—and jerked off Ben Affleck—just to mess with Kyle. I'm viewing it as a realllly long con unless he stays this way for the rest of the season.

Jumping Jiminy—Billy Bob was in Chopper Chicks in Zombietown? I guess it makes sense I didn't know that because I saw it in '89 or '90 and nobody knew who he was at that point. Well, shit; I'd really like to hear what he'd say about that one.

I knew it wasn't going to work when I was driving her home from a date, and as we passed a stray dog she said, "Ooh let's pick it up and take it home!"

Exactly. I realize the Trump situation is a Big Deal, but I can't see much of a parallel between Rainer's actions and Trump's. I realize it's somewhat patriarchal to focus on how Rainer and Haley's relationship affects Rainer and Phil, but they would be affected by it, even if it would be more acceptable from a PC…

the reason we feel so divided as a people is a product of this mindset
that 'everyone who isn't with you is against you,' as Butters so proudly proclaimed.

I understand where you're coming from—I also was looking forward to a modern, more science fiction-ey approach to the character. And I loved a lot of what Snyder did visually. His approach to Krypton was fascinating and utterly different from what I'd seen before.

Totally agree. I like a lot of Kinane's standup, and he's consistently great on @midnight. But forcing people to drop food isn't funny, it's just mean. That's just me—I don't enjoy seeing other people get screwed over.

Speaking as someone who grew up thinking that Superman was indeed lame and embarrassing, I certainly understand DC's decision to shift him away from the Donner version…

I don't like the movie, but for completely different reasons than the ones you cited. I have no problem with the destruction, the fact that Supes doesn't start out as a fully realized Superman, or killing Zod. But the film exhibits a complete and utter lack of understanding about many of the characters orbiting…

For a moment I thought you said "wings" and wondered if you were making a Dogma reference.

I didn't see the pilot, but the second episode wasn't bad.
