so i figured i would either be like "oh that makes sense this was weak" or i wouldn't notice it at all because often enough i enjoy stuff even if it's not great
pacing-wise if i had been watching this on tv and they shoved this episode in the middle i might've been annoyed because it feels very skippable on account of.... it's irrelevant lol
i am however in glenn is not dead copium because that's sure how it looked but also nicholas totally fell on him and i suspect they are fucking with me by having glenn survive underneath his body
like that is a valid thing to write for a character but it's just so funny to keep circling back to it while the rest of the plot is like LOOK AT ALL THE WAYS THAT DOESN'T WORK
it doesn't work in painful ways for characters we've seen on screen deal with the consequences of those choices that is what i care about but i guess they at least realised that enough to give him his own show so i suspect at some point he's going to leave the party
hbo max definitely did something like that once when i was rewatching hotd too like they advertised something that was an insane spoiler to put in an ad before the show
someone needs to add a line of code somewhere that detects if it's the first time you're watching something and like not show those particular ads lmao fortunately i did not get spoiled but i was like ??? you have other footage besides that one lmao
i was lulled into a false sense of security by the gentle music and doubly so because that's the kind of music that plays when things are pretty okay in BSG
this is virginia there is a nonzero chance a hurricane or a tornado might roll through someone who has to think about that sort of thing would've left enough clearance so the building wouldn't fall directly into the wall but you know
i am simultaneously horrified because characters i cared about just died horribly on screen BUT HOW DARE NEGAN BE FUNNY WHILE HE'S DOING IT THE WORST MAN
this is gonna sound awful because i love everyone very much i miss glenn already but I'm gonna miss abraham so much because i was really thriving with every weird saying he had lol
also negan always being like haha funny joke makes me think they're gonna do something at some point where it's like if you think this is bad wait until he's actually angry and becomes a nigh unkillable final boss
(except morgan) although he seems like he's learning but i'm still like meh but he's better in his current position of being with carol instead of just mildly disapproving of rick
and king ezekiel and his tiger!! this man is larping and that's great i like that his entire deal is "shit sucks so let's just have the best possible time" someone who is out here and runs a place and isn't morally bankrupt???
ezekiel killed me because at first I was like "wow I don't think I like this" and then he dropped the performance for carol at the end of the ep and I was like "oh no I love him"
that episode FELT SO BAD i was like man i dunno this is hard even for me and i'm very good about the plot being like hella bleak well done knowing when to inject the hope when everyone was feeling extremely terrible lmao
they all have like post-apocalyptic fashion going on since they're all in weird patchwork grey and black and weird fantasy names like jadis and brion and tamiel
>carol wants to fight and she's helping to get the kingdom on board >they took the guns from oceanside >whatever is going on with the goths who want all the guns >WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING GREGORY >DWIGHT???????? >sasha has eugene's suicide pill
negan doing the thing that i love the most about characters who are like negan which is standing around right next to people you know definitely want you dead and even giving them a weapon and being like lol you won't try it though!!!
let's see how that works out for him
it was driving me nuts
i remember people complaining a lot back when it was on tv but i never knew why they were complaining
it's a very silly storyline
tiring
that is what i care about
but i guess they at least realised that enough to give him his own show so i suspect at some point he's going to leave the party
like they advertised something that was an insane spoiler to put in an ad before the show
fortunately i did not get spoiled but i was like ??? you have other footage besides that one lmao
narrows eyes
kind of an oversight from a guy who is an architect tbh
as if god is pissing on this man directly and wants to watch him react
oh did you JUST have a good moment in this hell? did you experience happiness? hope? NO YOU DIDN'T
how infuriating i'm so over this man he needs to leave lol
a+ use of that RPG
ominous foreshadowing
"yep"
"do it again tomorrow?"
"yep"
video game level
i am filled with dread lol
AND THEN
THE WORST MAN
it's like the opposite of a relaxing situation and yet
that is also another horrible character i will never play but man he is so cool in the worst way
if you think this is bad wait until he's actually angry and becomes a nigh unkillable final boss
the manipulation!!!
although he seems like he's learning but i'm still like meh
but he's better in his current position of being with carol instead of just mildly disapproving of rick
i like that his entire deal is "shit sucks so let's just have the best possible time"
someone who is out here and runs a place and isn't morally bankrupt???
great line tbh
THE HUGGING AHHH
man i dunno this is hard even for me and i'm very good about the plot being like hella bleak
well done knowing when to inject the hope when everyone was feeling extremely terrible lmao
GO TO HIM
like that was such an ominous, load bearing melon
>they took the guns from oceanside
>whatever is going on with the goths who want all the guns
>WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING GREGORY
>DWIGHT????????
>sasha has eugene's suicide pill
which is standing around right next to people you know definitely want you dead
and even giving them a weapon
and being like
lol you won't try it though!!!
