Some of these hands were just out of reach on the ground yet it was a sea of walkers around the dumpster just before they fell. So funny. Are the zombies just lazy? I could get up and get him but that's work so I'll just reach with this outstretched arm for a bit and then totally scramble to get him as he's going under the dumpster.

Season started out promising but the last two episodes were just trash. I know zombies aren't realistic but does that mean we need to ignore the laws of physics to create a lame cliffhanger?
Glenn wasn't down for all that long. Looks like the instance they went down is when Glenn moved below the dumpster. So it wasn't like he was lying there waiting to be eaten. He scuffled down there fast.

Of similar note, of all the things in a zombie apocalypse show to worry about, realistic dumpster dimensions probably should rank pretty low heh.

Edit: Out of sheer curiosity from one of my previous posts, I looked this up!

I'm a pretty big guy and I've crawled under a dumpster before.

It was tight and uncomfortable, but possible.

I don't think undercoverbrother should post in this thread again until he has attempted to crawl under 3 different dumpster brands.

Enough with the hypotheticals, let's test this mother!

I'm pretty sure Glenn was down there for like 3 weeks. There's an episode every week and we haven't seen him in like 3 episodes.

The writers butchered Tyreese IMO. Just a soft marshmallow that served no purpose. If he died in season 3, would there be any impact to the rest of the show or the other characters? IMO not really, he was always just sort of "there", trying to be the angel on the group's shoulder. I guess we wouldn't have witnessed his irrational freak out over Karen's murder, for all the benefit that gave the show. Didn't last though, he was back to being a marshmallow within a few episodes. He even forgave Carroll for butchering his girlfriend lol. Better hope you don't get sick Tyreese, otherwise you're probably getting an ice pick in your temple.

If not for needing someone to take care of Judith he was basically useless. And he almost screwed that up because he didn't want to kill people that were trying to kill him. The way they killed him off was so bad too. If that's all it took, I am astounded he was able to make it as far as he did in a ZA. He died like a total chump.
I'm just goinng by my own reaction - and Tyreese's death gave me a stronger reaction than anyone apart from Santa. Part of it was because I didn't see it coming. I actually liked the suddeness of it - it show show dangerous the new world is. He got a little sploppy for just a moment and boom - dead.

Fair enough, I guess I can see that. Honestly, reading the comics might have made it more difficult for me to enjoy the show sometimes. Not trying to get into trouble bringing them up but I think that's what it boils down to for me.

Who's Santa lol. Autocorrect I realize but who?

My most impactful death was Lori. She had her obvious shortcomings but that still tore me up. Didn't help my own wife was pregnant at the time.

I'm not a fan of Glenn living. The way they showed it made it much better than I was expecting, but I think it would have been better if he had been killed.

I think it would have been a better cliff hanger if he had got under the dumpster right away and then left us hanging. I think that because it happens in a timely manner, you know he's alive...for now, but leaves you guessing how is he going to get out of this pickle.

Amazing how many people who are not happy with the show, but for some odd reason continue to watch it and post in a thread about it. Bizarre really.

The first sentence after the spoiler warning is relevant.


Strange how that's all still pretty much true to day.

Ron and his little brother should just be fed to zombies now.

Did Carol really think she'd outmuscle Morgan?

The season started off super fast but it was a lame mid-season finale. Guess the gang re-unites and they go somewhere else now probably face the new crew that Daryl saw in the woods.

Shhhh. Zombies don't breathe so these people with no blood on their faces would be breathing you think would be easy to pick up by bloodthirsty creatures but like Glenn and the dumpster you just have to check your brain at the door.

Yep her act has grown rally old. The frail housewife turned bad ass, sharp shooter act has really worn thin as I find myself rolling my eyes when she's in scenes.

Good article here about the inherent issues with a zombie series trying to be serious as well as other issues that cropped up this season;

http://www.vox.com/culture/2015/11/3...8-recap-finale

I agree with the end point as trying to make a weekly drama that's believable is tough enough but injecting zombies into the mix makes it that much more challenging which is why viewers have such a love/hate relationship with the show. The writers don't do themselves any favors with plenty of poor choices over the years but even top notch writers would be challenged stretching this subject matter into an annual series.

As if they wouldn't have told the kid to be very quiet!
Two people very proficient with guns, gave their guns to a guy with a knife, when they could have shot him?
The doctor not yelling to warn Morgan, and staying with that guy in general when she didn't have to?
Carl not telling Rick, that the kid tried to kill him.
Morgan in general and his attitude.
