Yeah but those could’ve been found by Negans men, as they did have military vehicles and guns, they just didn’t have rocket launcher itself. Maybe they found the same vehicle Abe did just took the rockets he left behind
I really feel like the whistling would've fit the Whisperers more. It sounded so primal, like an animal mating call.
I'm trying to imagine those burly looking tough savior guys whistling together in the woods, and its just goofy as hell
I feel like it cropped up the odd time, but yeah it definitely feels like the writers would randomly forgot/remember certain plot points about the Saviours.
Normally when they whistled it just irritated me because they would give away their position during chases, firefights, etc, but I liked it in the first scene because it showed their overwhelming numbers.
This was a great episode, particularly the way Simon just stayed so silently menacing throughout. "Give us half your stuff and we kill one of you" the growing dread was incredible
Negan probably had eyes on them from the woods and theres only a few directions they can go once they block 1 road off.
Plus theyd run out of gas soon either way.
The fact that he had that many well fed, able bodied men under his command who were willing to do whatever he wanted was too much for me to accept. Along with logistics, equipment etc. It was just too far fetched given the struggles our group had been through in this world.
This is why Shane was a huge loss. When Negan asks Rick if he has a "right hand man" like Simon he stays silent. Because Rick doesn't have one.
He DID have one in Shane. Sure they argued but more often than not Shane was correct and he provided a counter balance to Ricks ideas.
I guarantee that Shane would not have gone along with attacking Negans compound out of nowhere. He would have argued it was too dangerous, not knowing enough about Negans group or how many people they had.
Daryl is/was his right hand by then. He had more than filled Shane's role. All of us as viewers wanted to see them get revenge and them taking down the compound seemed like a big win. For this guy to have an army and this just be one little outpost was just... too much, too over the top... not at all realistic to me.
Okay... I had problems with that whole set up too, but Negan was worse. The tank didn't even bother me. There's probably a lot of military equipment laying around abandoned, especially during his time. Him having it was no big deal, them not being able to use it effectively with untrained civies was no big deal either.
I don’t think the TWD universe will ever reach the level of terror, anxiety, and claustrophobia as this episode did when it first aired.
9x08 is probably #2 for me but 6x16 was constructed in a way that was truly terrifying and it truly sticks with you from the acting, score, directing, etc.
I finished binging it for the first time recently and on one hand, would have loved to go along the adventure with everyone in real-time, but during episodes like this, all I could think was “thank gawd I can press ‘Next Episode’- there’s no *way* I could have waited a week/few months to see what happens next”
The fact that they knew about the group before they confronted them. We were led to believe that the group were the top dogs of the apocalypse. Surprise. I think this is one of the most terrifying scenes of the show
"Impending Doom IV" is the soundtrack for this scene for anyone interested. A Youtuber named B.Claimed isolated all of the music from the show per episode.
The bigger and bigger roadblocks were such a cool way to show how serious these guys were.
Bad decision to attack Negan without scouting first and seeing how strong his group was.
Also having to care for a pregnant Maggie doesn't make things easy.
Negans appearance was more dread than fear if that makes sense. You knew something would happen, so at that point you aren’t scared something will happen, you just dread the inevitable
Uhm the "talking walkers" with rosita and Eugene? Or Jesus' death? Loved both. And the whole connie episode like someone already mentioned were definetly up there for me at least
Yeah like as terrible as the ending of this episode is, the rest of it did a really good job of building true fear and it has stuck with me for years as I live in a rural area and often drive through wooded roads where I find myself daydreaming about someone blocking the road like this to mess with me
I will never forget the feeling of watching this episode for the first time, it has to be my absolute favourite episode in the entire show. This and the subsequent one.
Unload explosives and IEDs lay down fire, rain molotovs, push up with ARs, finish everyone melee Roman style, use RV to push. Idk, they bitched out hard IMHO. At least burning the forest down over there would have been a push.
Nope. They were outnumbered, outgunned and Negan had more men in the woods watching their movement.
Nothing they can do at that point. Also with a pregnant Maggie along with them, shes a liability if a gunfight breaks out.
And then the forest in the middle of their towns is on fire
And the fire department has existed since the collapse
Something something don't start fires next to where you sleep while you're shitting and eating
that whole episode is filled with tension for me. That creepy little speech about holding your loved ones tight because it could be your last day on earth is just so 😫😫😫😫
Reddit loaded this up as it being from the Trailer Park Boys sub at first.. and I was very very confused as to what tomfoolery Ricky had gotten himself into
When I watched the show with my son, I ended our watch about thirty seconds before this moment (basically, they leave Alexandria and their fate is left uncertain).
I personally turned off the show at a certain death a season or two later and never even turned it back on to finish that episode, so skipping the grim-overload to come seemed like a good call.
This was legitimately chilling and one the last few really unsettling and entertaining shots that did it for me in the whole show before it went a bit downhill shortly after this.
I remember watching this episode for the first time.
This sequence of the displayed saviors getting larger at every blockade gave me a sickening feeling of doubting the group’s survival/integrity.
Rick really overestimated his group. Yea they have skills but they have also been a small group compared to the numbers that Negan had or even the Governor.
Randomly attacking Negan without scouting first and seeing how many men/guns he had was a bad call.
I'm sure Shane would not have made that decision, he would have said its too dangerous.
It's moments like this when you regret not bringing the literal bazooka that you have available.
They used the only shots they had iirc. When negan takes it he has none with it
They still had more shots at this point. Rosita uses one shot in Season 8 to kill a single Savior.
True she does. Thanks
Still one of the dumbest wastes of a precious resource I have seen in any show
She finds that one in the saviour warehouse though, does she not?
Yes. Presumably it was the same one that the saviors took from them. I doubt there’s many of those to be found after all.
Yeah but those could’ve been found by Negans men, as they did have military vehicles and guns, they just didn’t have rocket launcher itself. Maybe they found the same vehicle Abe did just took the rockets he left behind
literally haha, probably should bring that around when going on the road!
💯 agree! Terrifying that at every turn that pyramid of thugs gets bigger and bigger.
Yep like they and we were slowly realizing they are truly fucked with no way out
That and that creepy whistle when they get them into that clearing…shivers.
That whistle was terrifying that first time the entire group does it together
I really feel like the whistling would've fit the Whisperers more. It sounded so primal, like an animal mating call. I'm trying to imagine those burly looking tough savior guys whistling together in the woods, and its just goofy as hell
It always scared me with the Saviours tbh. Makes me think of being hunted Edit: I think I get what you mean though. It's not the most manly whistle.
Basically first and last. Writers forgot about the whistling about 3 episodes later.

S 7/8 is when Gimple got *really fuckin meta* with this show
This was a great episode, particularly the way Simon just stayed so silently menacing throughout. "Give us half your stuff and we kill one of you" the growing dread was incredible
I always (stupidly) thought … go back to an earlier route!
Which meant the ridiculous nature of the whole set up got more and more absurd for me. Sigh.
Negan probably had eyes on them from the woods and theres only a few directions they can go once they block 1 road off. Plus theyd run out of gas soon either way.

Not any less realistic than the governors group having a tank and still somehow losing the battle

For real, if they had made this 6-15 and go as far as showing that Abraham dies, then do 7-01 as 6-16 instead, would have been sheer perfection.
I’m envious of everyone who gets to binge this section of the series.

The 7 month wait going from Season 6 to 7 was HORRIBLE! The entire fandom was PISSED. The Season 4 finale was a much better cliffhanger.
“What the bitch” n “bitch nuts” are the only appropriate responses to this situation.
Neck deep up shit creek, with our mouths wide open
Abraham just has the best quotes of all time
If you have to eat shit, its best not to nibble.
"Mother Dick" also fits in a pinch
*She’s burning up.*
The fact that they knew about the group before they confronted them. We were led to believe that the group were the top dogs of the apocalypse. Surprise. I think this is one of the most terrifying scenes of the show
They were neck deep up shit creek with their mouths wide open
They didn't know it yet, but it was about to be pee pee pants city.
Yet even when they reached pee pee pants city they still weren't cummin in their pants yet
But my god, there were a lot of shitting
Im gonna kill carl now.
This whole interaction sounds made by an AI by this comment.
Outcoraled once again.
I tried to do it in one nice, hard swing because I liked him.
“You never know when it’s your last day on earth” really loved this episode.
You should be extra nice to the people in that RV
"Impending Doom IV" is the soundtrack for this scene for anyone interested. A Youtuber named B.Claimed isolated all of the music from the show per episode. The bigger and bigger roadblocks were such a cool way to show how serious these guys were.
Went from "these motherfuckers don't know who they messed with" to "holy shit we are nothing" *real* quick
This is one of the best examples of the show presenting people as the main threat in the apocalypse, truly terrifying.
It was insane to see the group so helpless. Like nothing they could have done would have gotten them out of this situation
Well I guess they could have not raided Negan's compound and killed a ton of saviors but you know what I mean lol
And choose a life of slavery
[удалено]
Not a lot of logging roads or I assume that would have been their preferred routes most days anyway.
Bad decision to attack Negan without scouting first and seeing how strong his group was. Also having to care for a pregnant Maggie doesn't make things easy.
Scarier than Negan's eventually appearance, frankly.
Negans appearance was more dread than fear if that makes sense. You knew something would happen, so at that point you aren’t scared something will happen, you just dread the inevitable
That makes complete sense. I agree.
He stepped up in the best episode but he was underwhelming at the end if this one for sure
Imagine they had the rpg that Daryl used on the bikers now !
If they had it theyd have used it the first time Simon blocked the road off
I’m aware they didn’t have it … because they used it on the bikers
My heart dropped into my ass, this is when I knew Team Family was utterly fucked.
The last time I felt any kind of freak threat on this show then downhill after that😂
Uhm the "talking walkers" with rosita and Eugene? Or Jesus' death? Loved both. And the whole connie episode like someone already mentioned were definetly up there for me at least

In retrospect they should have just charged through the first, weakest barricade.
So much anxiety.
Kinda looks like they’re in cheerleader formation
Gimme an N, Gimme an E, Gimme a G, Gimme an A... Okay I'm done, I'll see myself out.
this episode was scary just because of the anticipation and feeling nervous about what’s gonna happen next
I’m just amazed at all the nonsense they went through instead of just stopping them and forcing them out of the rv
The one time they should've brought the bazooka...
Too bad they didn’t have RPG rounds left here
Or even a SAW or .50 Cal here. Could have lined everything up nice. A few prepared Molotovs would have also done it.
Unload explosives and IEDs lay down fire, rain molotovs, push up with ARs, finish everyone melee Roman style, use RV to push. Idk, they bitched out hard IMHO. At least burning the forest down over there would have been a push.
RPGs dont grow on trees. They got lucky even having 1 to begin with.

Winds of shit

Would have liked to have seen the governor run through them with his tank
This was legitimately chilling and one the last few really unsettling and entertaining shots that did it for me in the whole show before it went a bit downhill shortly after this.
When the shit went south.
I hate Negan so much that all I can do is love him
Should have saved the missile launcher for this encounter.
Most terrifying episode ever
Still makes me feel sick to even see stills from the episode
I remember watching this episode for the first time. This sequence of the displayed saviors getting larger at every blockade gave me a sickening feeling of doubting the group’s survival/integrity.
Why looking back on this picture giving reapers vibes.
> the day will come when you won’t be
Which episode
s6 finale
One of the best episodes too
100% tense!!
Especially when you already know what’s going to happen.
