    Exactly.

    Apparently Robert Kirkman on Talking Dead said that not showing who died was because that's not what the season was about and then showing who died at the start of next season would be the start of a new story. AND THAT IS THE LAMEST FUCKING EXCUSE. TV shows set up a new story at the end of a season all the fucking time. THAT'S the best you can come up with to try and justify this cheap ploy? Fuck off.

     

    Spoiler

    It was Gimple that said that but point still taken.

    I really liked the episode last night until the ending, like everyone else it seems. Really showed just how many and how organized The Saviors are. Truly shattered Rick's world thinking that they were the baddest and best group around because of all the shit they went through. 

    I really didn't like the cliffhanger on first watch but after another viewing, I don't hate it as much. I really wanted to see who died and I think the shot of seeing whoever it was being cracked with Lucille would've been a great "Holy fuck!" -> roll credits moment.. I get why they did it. They want people to guess and are going to try to at least hide who it was but I doubt they'll be able to do that. I just really fucking hope that they didn't do it because they are killing off someone like Abraham or Eugene. I don't want to see a major character go but I feel like for Negan to really have an impact or matter, he needs to kill someone like Maggie, Glen or Daryl.

     

  2. I've seen at least 2 to 3 because the lineman held on too long and twisted or just dragged the guy down to turf. Like I said, I know it could cut down on those types of injuries by eliminating all chop blocks but now it's just going to lead to the lineman holding on longer/twisting/doing anything they can to keep the rushers from the quarterback and bring those injury possibilities into the fold.

    In a move that will cause sweeping changes to NFL offensive strategy for the 2016 season and beyond, owners decided Tuesday at the NFL Annual Meeting to abolish any and all "chop" style blocks.

    It was a move met with immediate and resounding praise from defensive players tired of getting their legs cut out from underneath them. Offensive lineman, however, were less than enthused as the block was still legal in certain situations. Over the last few years, various changes to the rules have limited the scope on how players could use the technique. It was a valuable tool for offensive linemen coming from the weak side and could even out some speed discrepancies. However, the speed and target area of the blocks could lead to serious injury.

     

    It will cut down on those possible injuries but now we will get even more holding penalties. I understand the need to try to take any "unnecessary" blocks or situations out of the game but man, they're really finding new ways to neuter this game. I wish they'd add penalties to wide receivers and defensive backs that always throw up their hands/call for a flag after every fucking pass attempt.

    So the trailer for Vice Principals was released, but I can't find it on YouTube, only a Facebook video.

    Hope that works for everyone. Danny McBride vs Walton Goggins. Oh my!

    Saw this earlier today and the fact it's McBride and Goggins has me giddy.

    Pretty sure that's exactly what it was, a kill count.

    Thought the episode was really good and I like how Glenn "saved" Heath from having to kill a person since Glenn just did that himself, pretty good touch there.

    No chance Rick dies. I don't mean ever. I just don't see Rick being killed until the series finale if ever. He is too important to the story.

     

     

    Spoiler

    I disagree. I think if done right, the show could work without him. I definitely think it's possible he could die sometime in the next season or two by sacrificing himself for sake of Carl or Judith.

    Watching the episode last night, I totally think Glen is done by the end of the season.. and I used to think he was super important to the show but I just don't feel that way anymore.

    I'm interested to see what they do with Abraham over the next few episodes because he's gotten more focus out of nowhere and that usually means the character is on his way out soon. I hope I'm wrong because I want to see Abraham step up and be a total bad ass again.

     

  8. Binged Fuller House yesterday and after you get through the cameo/nostalgia fest of the first episode, I thought the season was really entertaining. Perfectly acceptable TV and would love another season, if they could get it.

  9. Spoiler

    I'm assuming there was a bit of a time jump from the Episode 9 to Episode 10 since they showed a framed picture of Carl and Judith with Carl having gauze over his eye in the picture. At least that's what I thought from the start of the episode especially with Michonne being in the house in "mom mode" in a towel asking for toothpaste. Also, they went from Carl on the bed recovering from his bullet wound to Carl being up and wandering around.

    Two reasons I hate The Purge:

    1. You've got a unique concept (stupid, but unique) and you waste it on a home invasion movie?

    2. "All crime is legal for 12 hours, but hey let's bring this random man off the street I'm sure nothing will happen."

    One reason I hate The Purge Anarchy, even though I've not seen it:

    1. "All crime is legal for 12 hours, let's go buy some Doritos from the shop the other side of town an hour before sunset in my shitty car."

    To be fair, The Purge Anarchy wasn't really about that stupid, Dorito eating couple but I get what you're saying. I actually liked Anarchy better but that was mainly because Frank Grillo killed that role.

    I loved both movies. I thought the original definitely could've been better with the concept of The Purge but I enjoyed it because it's not like it was a "rational" man or woman that let the guy in, knowing what the consequences were.. it was just a kid.

  11. Finally went through Making A Murderer and some of this stuff is just astounding. I really don't know if Steven Avery did it or not but from what was presented, I don't see how anyone could think he got his right to a fair trial. The fact that the same county that he lived in and was suing during that period of time was allowed on the premises, even after it was stated that they wouldn't be because of the conflict of interest is ridiculous. The fact that they allowed her family and ex-boyfriend past checkpoints and onto the Avery property to conduct a search, in what they thought to possibly be a crime scene, is fucking ludicrous. The fact that there was no investigation into her ex-boyfriend about the possibility of him or the family being the one(s) responsible for disappearances or foul play. I don't know about this whole police department conspiracy but there were way too many coincidences and different links to his first case that look really shady.

  12. I thought that episode was amazing storytelling. They had to explain how Morgan went from a clearing nutjob to a zen master with bow staff skills.

    I love the Morgan character (mainly because of Lennie James great performance) but he is ultimately going to be responsible for a lot more death than saving lives.

  13. Still not ready to judge the performance based on the look just yet especially when you consider that most criminals/sociopaths aren't normally tattoo free or dress in swanky purple suits. If you're really going for an unhinged performance in a modern era, that look isn't too far off the mark from many of the violent criminals today. The small sample we got of him in the trailer made me very optimistic but then again, it's a trailer.

  14. Man, people are gullible as hell.

    I really hope that Glenn is somehow still alive but I doubt it.. even if he was still alive under Nicholas, how they hell could escape all those walkers? 

    And I actually think the "death" is fitting for Glenn. He died doing what he always did and that was putting himself in harms way to help others. From the beginning of the show, when he went down to help Rick out of the city and through the entire series. It came back to get him in the end but that was who Glenn was. Once Glenn called Rick "dumbass" I knew something was going to happen to him, it's one of those subtle callbacks that reeked of foreshadowing.. but I didn't think it would be that.
