Robert Kirkman was on 'At Midnight' and one of his joke responses to the category of 'fake walking dead spoilers' was to tell the audience about Negan and Glenn, in detail..

Either Kirkman loves trolling the viewers, or I have a feeling we aren't actually getting that scene.

First half of the season was great and people were commenting how fast paced the story was now going. Now we get an episode about one guy dying and another about everyone moping. Talk about the pace coming to a screeching halt jeez.

See, this is how out of touch we are with the typical viewing audience. I came into work this morning (holiday yesterday) and my coworker couldn't wait to discuss how awesome that episode was. Another coworker heard us talking and chimed in as well with his agreement. I told them I thought it was a little boring, which is actually pretty generous considering how I felt about it, but I was trying to not shit on their parade. They proceeded to tell me why it was so awesome (the tornado killing all the zombies was one), and one even regaled me with his theory of how one of the cannibals could have followed them all that way to show up at the end of the episode. I said I didn't think it was one of the cannibals, I think it is leading into the next part of the story, and he looked like I killed his dog.

This is why I can't talk about much of anything at work, my IQ has to be like 30 points higher than everyone else here. Maybe more.

I don't think that hating TWD has any correlation with IQ. If anything continuing to watch a show you hate is the definition of retarded.

The general population lacks neckbeards though and are not the ruler of all things internet and RL.
Only the sheep can watch a show for entertainment and realize since it is not real to begin with, why tear it down. Just sit back and watch the Zomnados.

I'm not talking about hating the show at all, I'm talking about what their definition of a great episode is versus ours. At least when I watch a dumb show I admit it and realize why I like it despite it being dumb, instead of telling people that it is awesome.

I guess if you manage to not pick out all the insanely retarded aspects of the barn scene it could be pretty tense and cool. Sadly I could not because:

1) Zombies have established in previous episodes they swarm buildings from all sides ... except this time
2) Why not call for help instead of hoping various people wake up one-by-one?
3) How do all the trees fall down during the wind storm but not this 150 year old barn?
4) Zombies can push their hand through glass doors but suddenly can't even dent a rotten wooden door

And that is only from that scene. I could also go over how over-the-top hammer-in-the-head obvious their dramatic symbolism was this episode with the broken music box who suddenly got not broken once Aaron comes in (omg do you feel like he may unbreak the group's hardships?!) or the water that rained from the sky right after Aaron provided them a ton of drinking water.

But I'm also notoriously nit-picky which is why I tend to not talk during this show anymore since my wife can take the show at face value and probably doesn't want to hear me picking it apart every 5 seconds. But even during the barn scene she couldn't take how inconsistant it was.

I thought it was pretty obvious that a tornado went through right outside the barn which pulled the zombies off at some point. Thats what the mangled line of trees in a straight line was about leading away from the barn.

Now, about how realistic that is...

Tornadoes are weird, though. They can tear the shit out of stuff and leave stuff next to it relatively unharmed.

That being said, some old ass barn would have been knocked over ;p

If it got close enough to rip zombies off the barn it got close enough to rip the barn apart

Well, the tornado would be really loud, right? The Walkers are attracted to sound and would start to go towards the tornado as it approached, so it wasn't necessarily ripping them off of the barn.

There are still tons of things wrong with the episode...but I liked it better than last week's. As long as they don't get anywhere near Season 2 bullshit, I can turn my brain off enough to enjoy it.

I'm pretty sure the reason why they didn't yell for help when holding the barn door shut is because the zombies didn't know they were in there so they were trying not to entice a zombie riot.

do you think the zombies outside the barn with a tornado incoming would have heard the guys inside saying. "OMG help. zombies are bumrushing our barn!"?

About episode 8 coda, why exactly were sniper Daryl and sniper black chick invisible on that roof when Rick offers the exchange? Did I miss something?
