what's even worse about the episode? the entire thing was about getting enough guns for the autistic group... and then when they accomplished their mission the episode ended with... uh, go get more. From a story-telling standpoint that is so freaking lame. Basically it just means what we saw was a filler episode because it inherently accomplished NOTHING.

Oh, and that CGI deer just made it a double fake-out, as far as I'm concerned. I understand a lot of the FX was spent on zombies in that episode, but if that's the case, figure out a better way to get the narrative plot point across that Michone would be lost without Rick... WITHOUT using a fake deer and fake death.
Just couldn't help notice you are talking how fake the deer looked, while sporting an avatar of the most fake looking Star Wars character ever! LOL. :)

The Rick/deer fake-out... REALLY?

Good lord... it feels like the writers are actively trolling it's audience at this point.

I desperately need a job so I don't have so many hours to kill with atrocious TV.
It was obvious it was the deer, I think that scene was more about Michonnes reaction and a turning point in her mindset than it was about rick possibly dying.

I enjoyed the episode, it was a nice lighter take on events after all of the darkness that has surrounded the show lately. Of course, rick always goes too far and tries to do too much and survives but it was a good watch. I thought maybe this would be enough guns to leave oceanside alone but it looks like thats not the case.

Rosita is going to mess things up a bit though.

Nothing like a good zombie carnival.

and yeah, the deer was too fake. Cant they just put a real deer there? I mean, is that expensive?

I rewatched the last episode with my son. Forgot about the guys golfing, who Rick and Michone stole from. Can you imagine them going back to Negan and admitting they lost their stuff while golfing! LMAO. That's one of those, we don't talk about that scenarios! :)

Was there any clarification that was Negans group? I assumed so

It's So Bad! I hate when they troll the audience like this.

The show actually started off pretty good then fell apart quickly.

Hey we need batteries! Oh look a couple of guys golfing and look in the back of their truck. They labeled their tote with BATTERIES! How Perfect. Those golfers sure are organized during the end of the world!

It's actually becoming very predictable. The minute they walked up on the wet roof you knew they were going to fall through. They even telegraphed it with Rick saying watch your step. Do they think we are stupid? Do you need to give us a heads up when we all know they are going to fall through the roof?

Then the whole deer thing which I don't think it can get any dumber that this. First off, I could CGI a deer better than that in 10 minutes on my iPhone. They used a real deer earlier in the episode why not use it again?

Then Rick is like, Oh a deer, I need to shoot it NOW. I've got a dozen walkers trying to eat me and I'm going to try and kill a fake CGI deer that is completely oblivious to the carnage going on around it. Why would a deer be anywhere near all of those walkers (That is just plain stupid and probably why they couldn't use the real deer again because a real deer wouldn't spend 2 seconds there). Then did Rick accidently kill the deer when he fell? NONE of it makes any sense. Not to mention did anyone really believe that was Rick getting torn apart by the walkers???

Finally, to top it off, they give away the guns to a bunch of idiots who I wouldn't trust with a dull butter knife. WHY????

On more thing that is beyond stupid. Yay people are finally realizing that taking out Negan is a good idea. However for some completely stupid reason they think you can only kill Negan in his base. Like Negan never leaves. Hey here is this completely awesome sniper rifle that we actually have bullets for. We could easily kill Negan from 300 yards out when he leaves his compound. No way, that would be way too easy. Lets take our shiny new sniper rifle and try and sneak onto HIS turf to kill him. What could possibly go wrong!!!

:pullhair:

Negan walks around with his silly baseball bat like he owns the place. Just wait for him to show up next time and one shot and its over.

Unless... a bird suddenly flies in between Negan and the bullet path right when you pull the trigger. Hey I could write for this show too!

I can even do CGI as well:

Poor pelican was at the wrong place at the wrong time. That lucky Negan has nine lives!

Walking Dead star slams T-shirt controversy: ‘People are stupid’

http://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/wa...rsy-‘people-are-stupid’/ar-AAngppf?li=BBnb7Kz

Jeffrey Dean Morgan is shocked and stunned by The Walking Dead T-shirt controversy — shocked and stunned, that is, that anybody would find the shirt controversial in the first place.

To recap: U.K. department chain Primark pulled from its stores a Walking Dead T-shirt that a customer complained was “racist” and “offensive.”

The shirt featured Negan’s signature Lucille baseball bat and his victim-selecting rhyme “Eeny meeny miny moe, catch a tiger by the toe…” The problem? About 100 years ago, that rhyme commonly used the n-word instead of “tiger.”

Morgan, sounding not entirely unlike his irate profane character on TV’s top-rated drama, tweeted:

I grew up in Suburban Mesa Arizona, a place where I was surrounded by white kids who weren't afraid to use the N word in jokes, comments or just general conversation.

That being said, I literally never heard it use the N-word instead of Tiger until I saw Pulp fiction, and even then I thought, awe, that sucks, he took a fun nursery rhyme and made it racist!

I'm just saying, not everyone said it with the N word. My whole childhood we said Tiger, and never once considered it racist. Negan said TIGER, and pointed at Daryl... sooooo where's the controversy? It wasn't even directed at a black character!

The eisegesis in this world is completely out of control! Nobody can accept ANYTHING at face value anymore. We've got to find subtext and deeper meaning in EVERYTHING nowadays...

A kid says: I love monkeys!
SJW: Really? Monkeys? You wore a Phoenix Suns shirt yesterday, so you're a basketball fan, are you saying that all the Suns players are Monkeys? That is so RACIST. I cant believe you would refer to black basketball players as monkeys! YOU SIR ARE RACIST!

When we were kids, one of my friends brought up that eeany, meany, miney, moe could never come true because there is no way to catch a tiger by the toe because tigers have claws and paws, not toes. So we all agreed it was stupid, and we never used that to select anything. I think we moved onto rock, paper, scissors after that. :)

I never knew ************ was racist; I thought it just meant someone lazy that sat around on their porch a lot. Then again, I grew up in rural western Pennsylvania, so I just didn't CATCH that all the adults were using a racial slur.
