The Walking Dead Season 7 discussion thread (season starts 10/23/16) - get ready for Negan!

Jesus was confirmed gay? The episode was so boring I was on my phone most of the time.

 

[Jeeebus]

just googled it. I seriously don't recall any scene of him talking to Maggie.

The zombies took over about three years ago at this point, right? I'm not sure why they would bother trying to hotwire cars on the side of the road anymore. Those batteries went dead about 33 months ago, and the gas in those tanks went bad about 24 months ago.

Really? The cars that they have been showing on the sides of the road are crap. It's been years since we've seen something cool like that Dodge Challenger R/T in Atlanta.

yup. Funny I was on my phone too. Weak fillerish episode.

 

[Younigue]

I loved the episode. And because it's fiction I never concern myself with gas or batteries or any of a number of things that can't and will never add up in a show/movie of a Zombie Apocalyptic World.

I had very low expectations of this episode because I thought the ladies would irritate me. I enjoyed their interaction. Then of course Darryl and Maggie got me to cryin' so that pleased me. Eugene done me wrong, so that was awesome! And better never be true. Yup, really enjoyed this episode.

How are they still shooting full auto wasting ammo on walkers?
I don't understand oceanside, how have they survived so long with the guns locked up and no one carrying any? Plus the group was able to get so close without them knowing?

THEY HAVE INFINITY AMMO U DIDNT KNOW?

What is Rick going to do with Dwight?

 

[Younigue]

I've told myself how I want the Eugene story to play out if it turns out for sure he has returned to his cowardly (and arguably traitorous) ways. He should be exiled, that would be the worst punishment for him. His last scene should be of him as a Walker OR convincing another group of people he can save the world if only they could get him to a specific destination.

I love the Eugene character but if he truly has chosen Negan over his own group and is willing to stand aside when Negan means them harm I see no future for his character. Too bad, he cracks me up.

I think that Eugene is just waiting for the right time to stab Negan in the back and get away with it. That bastard is smart!

Toture him and shove potatoes up his arse.

Yes, when talking about past relationships with Maggie is this scene, he mentioned old boyfriends. I can't find a video but the it happened on the stairs like in the scene in the attached image.

Carl: "Hey Dad, why is that zombie walking funny?"

This annoyed me as well. Almost as much as Carl holding the rifle on the right side like he can use his right eye to shoot with. Or how they "searched" the people while telling them to put their hands up and they knelt down at their feet to check for weapons. Putting themselves at a serious disadvantage. Or how someone takes their hand off the firing grip on a rifle to give orders with that hand. You always use your support hand, not your firing hand. I understand the entire premise is not real, but fuck make what you can somewhat realistic.

Still, a better episode than the last few have been. I just hope they don't fuck up the finale. No way it can top last year, but I just hope its good.

Soo.. he should shoot left handed? While I still haven't watched said episode, it would still make sense for him to shoot with it planted in his right shoulder, unless he's left handed..

I hope you are correct and that maybe these interactions between Sasha and him are just a show but it didn't look that way. It's not likely he'd give her a pill to kill herself, in essence sacrificing her in order to pull off any plan he might have. I very much want to be wrong and to feel like a fool for daring to doubt him. I meeean, 'he's level two and has been for a while'. There's no reneging on that! (I hope)

 

[ctbaars]

Is it too much to ask for dead people in the finale?
Like Daryl.

It might be. This upcoming battle is between the living.

His pistol holster is on the left, why not carry the rifle on the left. He doesn't have a right eye to use. It makes zero sense to shoot with it planted on his right shoulder, and somehow try to use his left eye.

I can't speak to the pistol holster being on his left, that would normally imply that he's left handed, which would make his planting of the rifle in his right shoulder less sense. At best, still assuming he's right handed based upon what we've seen him shoot in the past (and note, the loss of the right eye, unless he's right dominate wouldn't matter that much to pistols. Just cock the head more) he just got screwed and is using the only holster he could find.. which is a huge reach as they live in the magic land where what they need they find for background stuff like that.

There's a lot of debate on which way to shoot cross-dominate. In his case he would prob have to shoot left handed as you implied or use a reflex site with the rifle cocked a bit, which would work (at least via the testing I did last night) but I'm not sure how much of a marksman he'd be. Of course, there's something strange about debating a shooting style on a show that the targets are zombies. It's already bad enough that they've magic bullets that only hit bad things. My point being, out of all the things to nit pick on this show, a shooting stance that's possible, even if not practical, is the least of things. YMMV

 

[ultimatebob]

Wow, that gun fight was terrible! It doesn't seem like either side knew how to aim before they shot, which is kinda weird considering that they've been all been killing walkers for the past few years.

 

[gorcorps]

Of course... another season without closing out the thing they've been building up to the whole time. Nothing but a meaningless tease. See you next year! *raises middle finger*
