The Walking Dead (AMC) TV Show • Page 87

But Negan was supposed to be this huge thing for the show that would draw in so many more fans. I don't see his appeal.

His best moment is when he casually referred to Rick as "prick" in a moment of serious dialogue.

 

He was over-utilized and then under-utilized

 

This is true also.

I don't see him as much of a physical threat. He talks a good game, and has dozens of armed men backing him, but alone and without his bat, he's just a normal dude.

They needed something "thicker" to play Negan. Someone with a heavy upper body who looks physically imposing. At least while wearing a leather jacket. People said Jon Hamm fit the role, so someone along those lines.

 

The Rock

 

Yea, well...no. A square-jawed physically imposing while not comically big type of man. Which is ironic since Negan is a comic character.

 

Jon Hamm doesn't strike me as more physically imposing than JDM. I think they would both be as good. His intro would've been perfect if there was no cliffhanger. It's just the fact that virtually nobody on this show is really written well right now.

 

I looked up both dudes and they're the same height (6'2). I don't know why, but Hamm seems bigger to me. Or maybe JDM is just really skinny.

He was for sure large in The Watchmen.

 

that leather jacket is so tight it just makes him look smaller I swear!

 

It's the lack of an ass too.

 

A friend was trying to argue that TWD has the best character development of any show on TV right now. Like...just because its been on for years doesnt mean that the characters have developed a great deal.

 

But Eugene was confident for like a minute and remember when Tara was all goofy? She's totally coming out of her shell!

Lol this show has practically zero character development at this point.

 

Rick developed into a farmer at one point, so there's that.

 

I also would have loved to see Jon Hamm in the role.

 

Joe Manganiello would've fit the role

 

Jeffrey Dean Morgan Made An Embarrassing Slip-Up On The Walking Dead.

I never even noticed. Don't think it's that big of a deal. However, considering this is the only scene where it's been pointed out, maybe he and everyone else on set just forgot or didn't pay attention.

 

The phone-in-the-pocket thing is just a little slip-up, but that CGI deer was unforgivable.

 

completely agree about the deer.

 

If tonight's episode isn't good I'm just going to binge the rest before the season finale. And then assess how I feel about continuing lol. I feel pretty over this show right now

 

I'm not fussed about if he had a phone

I'd keep mine and play Angry Birds on airplane mode anyway as they have generators

 

Hmmm I kinda wonder, if the apocalypse came very suddenly as it did in the show with widespread panic, would the companies change the frequency signals or shut down cellular towers ahead of saving their own lives? And would the cell towers continue to work? Free service 4 everybody.

 

That Morgan breakdown/realization was really well shot.

 

Only half way through this episode but it's the best of the 2nd half so far IMO

 

Also: this guy (no idea his name) is one of the best actors in the cast.

 

Unreal acting from Lennie James in this one.

 

This is the type of episode that keeps me invested in this show. Really, really enjoyed everything about this.
