That was the best Walking Dead episode I've seen in awhile.

Wow, that episode was really, REALLY good. Best hour of TV I've watched for quite some time.

Just wondering what you guys liked so much about it. I enjoyed the episode but I wouldn't say it stood out to me.

i probably did enjoy that bratty kid Sam dying a bit too much.

What did everyone think of vinyl? i felt the 2 hour premiere was a bit too long--i lost interest almost half way thru. could be nice filler until GoT arrives, i suppose.

There was definitely a lull about an hour in. But I loved the last half hour or so. And generally speaking, I'm pretty happy with the premiere. I just hope it doesn't go to the Sopranos/Boardwalk/Mad Men formula of an out of control narcissist who cheats on his wife all the time. It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, but it's certainly been done over and over and over by now.

(credit to reddit for summarizing some of my points)
First: Bazooka Negan's crew, awesome.

Second: They killed off a whole family in a single scene. That's intense.

Third: I think the whole episode is showing how Morgan was "right":

-Because they let the wolf go, Denise makes it to the infirmary.
-Because Denise makes it to the infirmary, there's a hope for Carl living.
-Because Carl is no longer "his" to take care of and he can't do anything else to help him, Rick goes full Tyreese and starts killing walkers.
-Because Rick starts killing walkers, everyone starts helping and they realize they have the power to take back the town.

Even when Carol kills the Wolf, he sacrifices his own life so Denise could live...proving Morgan's & Denise's point that you can change, hope is not lost. You can even see Carol's realization after shooting the Wolf when she witnesses his sacrifice for Denise.

I just thought it was an excellent episode.

For TWD...

[SHOW]

-Carl got shot in the face, in the eye even, and didn't die

-That family that nobody cared about all very conveniently died but none of the major characters died (with one of them even being shot in the [expletive] face, for crying out loud)

-Glenn was surrounded by a billion zombies for like the 10th time now, only to be magically saved yet again

-Rick decided to rush out from a perfectly safe house and attack a horde of zombies, and then...

-everyone else decided it was a good idea so they did it too, and then...

-still nobody died

-And then Daryl becomes a magical unicorn superhero who swoops in at the last moment with a rocket launcher to save everyone...

-TWICE

-And the first time Daryl did it, it only worked because Negan's entire crew and the leader of Negan's crew was too busy giving a soliloquy about eating poop to notice or hear Daryl beating the [expletive] out of someone or see him come running up with a rocket launcher

They really need to kill someone soon, and stop saving people from absurd scenarios. I don't mind it every once in awhile but the frequency that they do it is beyond ridiculous. I thought it was one of the dumbest, worst, sloppiest, most inconceivably convenient episodes in years. And that's on top of the [expletive] at the end of last half season when you know who dumpstered his way out of absurd levels of danger. Like... a bad enough episode to make me think about giving up on the show altogether.
