It was Judith. She was crying in outrage at the situation.. She was the secret sniper on the grassy knoll...hepcat wrote:msduncan wrote:It wasn't Judith that he was referring to.

At one point we hear a cry and Negan makes some comment about Rick losing someone close. But nothing ever comes of it, as far as I can tell.
Really? I could have sworn that was a baby's cry. I must be getting old and my hearing is going.
But that does make more sense.

Re: Frank Darabont to write/direct Walking Dead series for A
They made a point of showing the women up on the balcony overlooking that area, then showed a fight up there, then showed Michonne being held back over the balcony, then later the scream and someone falling. I can't imagine how that sequence is confusing.

Re: Frank Darabont to write/direct Walking Dead series for A
It's not that I don't understand the sequence of events, or forgot the placement of the players. It's just that I honestly thought that sounded like the cry of a baby when I heard it. It didn't sound adult to me.
But as I said, I'm old and probably should be put in a home.

Re: Frank Darabont to write/direct Walking Dead series for A
It's probably confusing because Judith went from being 6 months old to a 4 year old rather fast. Speaking of which, I read a rumor this morning suggesting that there might be a "time jump" in Season 8. More specifically, it might not pick up exactly where it ended.
Maybe next year, maybe no go

Judith looks 2 to 3 years old in Sundays episode.
I know there is a time lapse between Negan and the next events in the comics. That's not really a spoiler is it?

Judith? Did you people not see Herschel?! Maggie and Glen's little baby that was still in her belly when the entire Glen meets Lucille happened? He looked like he is 4 or 5 already. Its the stress of living in a world filled with the undead. It ages them prematurely.Lassr wrote:Judith looks 2 to 3 years old in Sundays episode.

There can't be a time jump! Negan is rallying his forces for all out war. How does that play out?
"We're going to war!"
"Hurrah!"
"In a few months maybe, we'll see."

Re: Frank Darabont to write/direct Walking Dead series for AMC
I've gotten hooked on the "Fear" spinoff show, and find myself not caring about these characters and their repetitive story arcs anymore. Other than a few core characters, I can scarcely remember who's dead and who's alive from one season to the next. I spent half of the season premiere thinking "Oh yeah, THAT happened," or "Oh, she's still alive? What's her name again?"
And yet, I keep watching. I just don't look forward to it anymore. It didn't help that my DVR recorded six "new episodes" that turned out to be extended commercials. Deleted all of those unwatched.

I'm not there yet but Fear this year had greatly tightened the gap with Walking. Words I never thought I would utter.

I need to watch Fear one of these days. I'm just in on Walking Dead at this point to see how the story plays out vs. the comics, and what the eventual series finale will entail.

Also getting tired of Madison's kill spree.
1st episode of Walking was Meh.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan really has to stop doing that weird thing with his arm that makes him look like he's lost all use of one side of his body. Watch the factory balcony scene. It's just annoying.

Re: Frank Darabont to write/direct Walking Dead series for AMC
Considering they were kicking off another season and they set up this big fight, it was incredibly disappointing. Is there some reason every one of Negan's people, except Dwight and maybe Eugene, wasn't shot right then and there? Rick's 'no one has to die' except Negan, yeah I get it. But if you can wipe the leadership all out at once, why not? Which makes me wonder, if you're Negan and holed up in a fortress, why do you come out where they can kill you? Remember how utterly merciless he used to be? Now he chats with those who defy him most. Not what I had hoped for.

Re: Frank Darabont to write/direct Walking Dead series for AMC
Last two weeks I have told my wife, Sure they are going to return the guns to Seaside but they are going to have to say "Sorry, there is no more ammo for the guns." They may want to be a bit more tactical with their firing technique. Spray and pray is not the way to go in a limited resources world.
When TWD started I thought I'd never hear myself say, I can't wait until they wrap this all up, but I'm getting to the point where I hope it only goes a season or two more at the most.

Surprised this thread hasn't been touched in weeks. Anyway, just an FYI. Amazon has S7 SE blu-ray for $99 today. Normally it's 179.
That sound of the spoon scraping over the can ribbing as you corral the last ravioli or two is the signal that a great treat is coming. It's the washboard solo in God's own

Re: Frank Darabont to write/direct Walking Dead series for AMC
The first three hours of this season have been one extended gun battle. Not my kind of entertainment, but they did telegraph a war coming, and wars do tend to feature a lot of gunplay, so I suppose they're delivering what they promised. From the previews it looks like they might start moving the story forward again in E4. I hope; I don't know if I will sit through another hour of shooting.

The last episode was interesting in that it presented the stuff we've already seen in a different way. But I honestly don't know how much longer this show can survive. This has easily been the worst set of episodes for any season ever - including when they were hanging out at Herschel's farm.

Re: Frank Darabont to write/direct Walking Dead series for AMC
I saw a preview for the upcoming crap fest called Rampage during Justice League earlier this week. It includes Jeffrey Dean Morgan. I've come to the conclusion that he's just going to play Negan in every future endeavor he undertakes.
