THE WALKING DEAD - Season 6 - Full Discussion

If that's even remotely true, I don't think they'll kill Glenn outright. Maybe hurt him enough to write him out for the season so he can do the other thing he's doing

[Progmetty]

That tiger looked like it was on another planet. At least it wasn't CGI though.

Are you being sarcastic? It totally looks CGI to me 

[masterthes]

It was so CGI. Still cool though

[Zook]

If it was CGI, it looked more real than the lion from Narnia. I think it was a real tiger though, just obviously filmed in a different location. The lighting was wonky.

So, about the whole Abraham and Darryl thing, if it has any validity, it would have to be reversed to go along with Rick and Carl's reaction at the end. Remember, Neagan calls them out at the end, which probably means it's somebody they care about. They don't give a shit about Abraham really. Darryl, on the other hand

[faizoff]

Got the season six bluray the other day and it includes an uncensored and slightly extended version of the Negan scene. I guess it's supposed to be  word for word from the comic book. I'm not really sure it fits in with the rest of the show but JDM is just as menacing.
Another two months of pretend suspense to finally find out who got the boot.

The weird thing about this bluray release is how crazy grainy it looks, I know the show has a gritty peppered look but it takes the cake this past season and can be distracting at times.

What Abraham and Daryl thing? Are you saying Daryl gets the bat too? All the spoilers I've read said that it's Glenn and Abraham, and then Daryl gets kidnapped and taken away by Neagan and crew. He's later forced to eat dog food sandwiches.

Very interesting going back to the beginning of this thread and reading the comments(mine included) of the first half of the season. Pretty much everyone's feeling were the same on how amazing it started and then just started going down after that. This graph for the series pretty much says it all how season six went down

at the last dot.  Other than that last episode, it doesn't really show too much of a downward spiral.

[faizoff]

True, it also goes to show how scattered each episode's rating has been throughout and indicating how mixed that season was as a whole.

Another two months of pretend suspense to finally find out who got the boot.

The weird thing about this bluray release is how crazy grainy it looks, I know the show has a gritty peppered look but it takes the cake this past season and can be distracting at times.

I do find it funny how American TV channels can't have any swearing. Not that there's anything inherently good about swearing, but there's nothing inherently bad either, so none at all is incredibly prudish.

Especially when it's a show that routinely shows people screaming in agony as they get their intestines ripped out in front of their loved ones.

Yeah seriously.

Extreme violence: yeah that's totally cool.
Nudity: I dunno man, not sure that's ok.
Naughty words: ABSOLUTELY NOT!

Feels maybe the wrong way round.

I was watching a documentary on recently discovered tribes. I don't remember if it was a Nova or Nat Geo special, but one of the researches was a lady. To acclimate/be accepted by the members of the tribe, the researchers would eat their food, participate in their rituals, etc.. The woman researcher took her top off to be barechested like every girl/woman in the tribe. They blurred out her tits but not any of the natives. 

Actually, it just occurred to me that that could have been at her request, not necessarily the networks.

I get the feeling that nudity is more frowned upon than swearing. I mean you know how outraged us Americans get when a nipple get flashed for half a millisecond on TV.

That's because it makes kids hang themselves from jungle gyms and jump in front of ice cream trucks. Somebody's got to think of the children.

I think I've decided to watch this show until the Negan arc concludes, after that I think I'm going to bail and maybe just read the comics. I seem to recall reading that they(showrunners/AMC) probably plan to do this show for another 12-14 seasons, I really don't think I'd be able to stay interested in the characters for that long. Another rumor I read was that they plan to franchise this show like they do with Law & Order, etc.. and have various spinoffs should Kirkman come up with them. Whether that happens or not, I'm not going to bother.

[gmillerdrake]

The Negan arc is friggin' awesome in the comic....especially the 'All Out War' story arc. And, Negan is the best thing about the comic right now IMO. He's a really cool character that on one hand is so charismatic and likable and on the other just outright evil. I really hope that they can nail him on the TV show....I thought JDM did a good job as Negan in the brief screen time he was allotted in season 6.
