The Walking Dead 8.4 "Some Guy" (spoiler alert)

[NewJeffCT]

A new weapon in the Savior's arsenal proves to be a giant hurdle, as fighting continues between Rick's forces and those of the Saviors.

Much appreciated.

3. Carol on her own.

It's time to see if Carol can step up. It's time for her to resolve her inner turmoil, or die.

[NewJeffCT]

4. I hope she can last

but, I fear that playing the meek older woman can only fool them so many times... one of these times, she'll pay for it

[NewJeffCT]

5. less than 3 hours to go now

should be interesting.

6. almost time

should be good tonight

[DashOneBravo]

7. I'm watching too

[NewJeffCT]

8. welcome aboard

Ezekiel looks spent in the opening

[DashOneBravo]

10. I love that guy

[NewJeffCT]

9. Early focus on The Kingdom

with Ezekiel.

[NewJeffCT]

11. Ezekiel in a world of trouble

all the dead around him are turning and he only has one good leg.

[NewJeffCT]

12. He was getting away with the help of another survivor

but, now seems to be captured. Is Shiva going to rescue him?

[Baitball Blogger]

13. Lovin this episode.

Ezekial is getting a dose of reality. I wonder how it's going to change him.

[NewJeffCT]

14. I have a feeling it won't go well for him

most of the Kingdomites mowed down by the Browing M-2 and he's hobbled and a prisoner now - even if he escapes, he might be broken.

19. I nominate this the Best episode.

[NewJeffCT]

15. Carol being a bad-ass again

but, Jerry certainly made a dramatic save as well.

16. I like this trio.

[Liberal Veteran]

20. Ceiling Carol in watching you.

I'll miss cgi kitty though.

[Baitball Blogger]

17. Nooooooooooooooooo!

Why dear God, Why????!!!!!

[NewJeffCT]

18. RIP Shiva

He rescued the King, but there were too many walkers for even the tiger

[liberalhistorian]

21. To my surprise, I'm finding that I'm starting

to just not give a shit anymore. It all seems the same, and I'm tired of caring about people and animals when every fucking episode brings loss and the same old, same old. It's getting tiresome.

[Baitball Blogger]

23. Don't watch Game of Thrones.

[MFM008]

26. That's why I quit

Watching when they killed off Hershel.

[Baitball Blogger]

22. When the Ezekial told Jerry and Carol to leave as he fought off the

chemical waste walkers, didn't it look like Carol turned her back and was ready to leave him?

[Baclava]

24. I've watched from the very first episode and this is the lamest shit ever

One stupid fake miracle escape after another, with slowest walkers and more dumb ass speeches thrown in at the worst times

unwatchable.... the only good part - that fucking stupid CGI tiger is finally gone

[NewJeffCT]

25. what is bothering me more

is that both sides seem to have gotten the "unlimited ammo" hack going for them. What made the Saviors scarier in the comics was their numbers and the fact that neither side had a lot of bullets. 100 guys with swords, spears, axes, knives and pitchforks against 50 guys with similar arms is a lot different than 200 guys with assault rifles and 100s of bullets each against 100 guys with similar assault rifiles. With assault rifles, both sides blast away at each other from a distance...

[Baclava]

27. yep - nailed it - its a crutch with them, thousands of rds of precious ammo wasted on cars/windows?

It's just wrong- they just use guns and walkers as props of convenience now to stir up "drama" that isn't there - no one expects to lose any major characters in all this "war" shit - it's lame- the show really fails at anything other that small scene up close and personal drama - which the writers seem to have lost and forgotten - no wonder so many people have quit watching

[NewJeffCT]

31. I think because of Daryl

memorable comic book characters like Tyreese and Abraham took a back seat to Daryl and his popularity, but none of them were as developed as they should have been. Chad Coleman is a good actor and Tyreese was a memorable character in the comics who was Rick's right hand man for a while, but he was a big teddy bear and and the always ill fated moral conscience on the show. Abraham became the right hand man after Tyreese and was a major character there

29. The indestructible car hack too

The side Carol was on would be shredded. Pistol rounds can go through doors

[awesomerwb1]

28. Hahaha damn, and I thought I was gonna be harsh!

I kind of agree with you. It's a horrible show which I watch because....well it's on Sunday nights and I'm curious to see how it ends.

I like how the walkers walk very fast when convenient for the script. lol I didn't mind the tiger although I saw no purpose for his existence in the show at all. I think they just had to kill him because it cost too much $$. No way those walkers with brittle limbs could handle a 500lb tiger...but nice try.

[NewJeffCT]

30. the tiger was in the comics

and died at the same time he died in the comics. I just thought it was kind of silly overall, but Shiva made Ezekiel a memorable character from when he was first introduced in the comics.

the walkers have deteriorated over time on the show as well - season 1 and 2 walkers were a lot "fresher" than the walkers we've seen in recent seasons because the longer lasting walkers would lose bits and pieces over time. The walkers have usually been pretty slow, but I think Frank Darabont in season 1 had a few walkers that were fast, climbed fences and used simple tools (one had a rock, I think, and the first walker carried her teddy bear still...)

[Baclava]

32. The "freshly dead" walkers from the Kingdom - Ezk butt scooted away easily, no worries! lol

It's just another soap opera with walkers for props now, and trying to make us give a shit about all the new factions when we DON'T isn't working either. They forget what made the show special. Keep us guessing and TELL A GOOD STORY!
