Well I thought that was a random pile of ****e, A bunch of odds and ends put together to make an episode. I put this in the filler category.

LandoCalrissian · 27-11-2017 10:58AM

Wow what a review - cant wait to watch it now

lawlolawl · 27-11-2017 11:50AM

The explosion from the RPG was hilariously poor.

Sub film-student-project stuff.

This show is some sort of tax scam or something.

any reasoning behind Rick's plan there? Just looked really dumb from the beginning to the end of the episode.

the idea that all the saviours who are heavily armed are unable to fight back and defend themselves with any success is laughable.

and team rick are so better at fighting too - unbelievable

I know it's Sci Fi / Horror but ffs

Notice my fb which used to be full of comment and spoilers about TWD each monday is silent now..

The main characters were grouped off again, but at least they were all in the same episode which made for a much better flow. The walkers felt like an actual threat in this one, especially in the Carl and Siddiq scene.

I'm assuming Rick has a bigger plan, seeing as it was almost a certainty that if he walked into the Trash Heap on his own that he would be killed or imprisoned.

I'm interested to see what Aaron and Enid will do.

Rosita has an RPG, surely she's going to blow up the truck with massive speakers. Right? Riiiiiight? No, no of course she won't.

Aside from that moment of glorious idiocy my favourites the garbage patch kids made a return. They are awful, the pidgin English is just plain stupid. Episode was fairly crap crap crap

Edit: just to add, the most engaged I was during the episode was when I was shouting at the Walkers to eat Carl. No such luck

mzungu · 27-11-2017 11:53PM

Not all that enjoyable tbh. Nowhere near as good as last week, but I guess it was padding to bring us closer to the mid-season finale. Hoping things get better for the next two episodes.

bear1 · 28-11-2017 12:20AM

Ok what the **** have I just watched?

Seriously, how long ago was the first outbreak? And she looses the ability to speak fckn English in that amount of time with others as company. The mind boggles.

After last week's return to form I thought this was back to being awfully dull fare. Actually fast forwarded through some sections. Really felt like a filler episode.

The CGI explosion from the RPG was like something Adam and Joe would do on their show back in the late 90's for a laugh.

Disappointing to see a resurgence of hero kids 'im coming with you to fight', only to become a complete liability within 5 minutes. Fcuk off kid and get back behind those gates because you're useless out in the wilderness. This episode we had the little dude from the kingdom following Carol, who herself has watched dozens of kids meet their fate at this stage. And Enid the hero , wtf is she going to achieve? Karl back to his annoying ways of nearly getting eaten so he can be the hero. I wouldn't have cared if all three had died this episode.

Rick going into the dump...why bother? Just blow them up, plenty of flammable material surrounding them if you get rosalita around with the rocket launcher.

But by far the most infuriating storyline is Jesus trying to keep the saviours alive and the endless debates about it. At least shoot your man with the long hair, he'll never change.

I'm really not sure why I still watch this...

To be fair, that RPG would probably have done about as much damage as a bird flying into the truck by the looks of things.

Also, of course the writers on this show think people would lose command of the English language within a couple of years of society collapsing because they are ****ing terrible writers.

bear1 · 28-11-2017 11:41AM

The RPG was epic I thought, amazing the technology these days that you can fire an RPG at a human and not even a splatter of blood visible.. nor body parts or even a blast wave.
Good stuff.

TerrorFirmer · 28-11-2017 12:04PM

That episode was a return to form - i.e. total crap. Don't know what they were thinking/smoking/injecting when they came up with the bin people. Don't care if it's in the comics, it makes zero sense in the context of the TV show.

That's the thing, it isn't in the comics.

It's original, pure-strain stupidity from the showrunners.

yes....a rocket just means your target dissapears in a puff of flame....no explosion...no impact despite firing indoors!!

Shooter not in anyway affected

truly a low moment for the show and that's saying something

Once I heard the trash people were going to be in it I steeled myself but dear god almighty...it's going to take a while to wipe that episode off my shoe. Absolute tripe. And the worst thing is you know the producers realised it was going to be tripe but they still went ahead and made it anyway cos, you know, they're setting it all up for a mid-season finale blockbuster or some such bollox.

What is there even to discuss? The truly abysmal 'story at bedtime' narration at the start set the tone for what was to follow. The crying baby had more presence than any other character in that episode. Shame on Scott Gimple and the rest of them for subjecting the viewers to that garbage.

This series has been good but that episode was the drizzling ****s.

theoldbreed · 28-11-2017 11:06PM

Such a terrible episode. I've been a huge fan since the beginning but every week I get a little more bored with it.
Maggie used to be a favourite of mine but I cannot stand her anymore. Maybe it's the actress but I don't find her credible.

Filler episode, no progress. 2/10. Dirt.
What do the scrap yard people live on? Old tires and waste oil?
