S08.E04: Some Guy

[halgia]

A new weapon in the Savior arsenal proves to be a giant hurdle as fighting continues.

[TigerLynx]

God damn you show for killing Shiva.

Thank you Carol for being a competent badass.

I laughed when they tackled Zeke to protect him.  It looked like a bunch of football players trying to tackle the guy with the ball.  I also laughed at Zeke trying to crawl out from under the dead people who were about to become zombies, and when the bullets had no guns.  I was thinking, "I wonder if he regrets wasting all those bullets killing the windows."

I did enjoy Daryl and Rick chasing down the guns, and Carol saying somethings she decided, and somethings life decided.

I cheered when Shiva finally showed up, and saved their asses again, but that was short lived.  God damn you show for killing the Tiger.

Oh No, poor Shiva.  I guess the CGI bill was getting too hefty.  

 

I wasn't able to tune in until Ezekiel was being herded through the woods by Fire Marshal Bill, did I miss anything?

[Autumn0516]

Complete waste of an episode. 

And then they killed Shiva. Fuck you, Kirkman. Fuck you, Gimple. 

I’m so over this season. 

[JackONeill]

Kirkman is an ASSHOLE!

[riverheightsnancy]

Why the hell did they not cover themselves in walker goo? They could have just walked through them as slow as Zeke needed. If they covered Shiva too, it wouldn't have been an issue.

[tennisgurl]

*sniffle* Shiva...

This is true but not new.

[Prairie]

This show is so bad now.

[Ms Lark]

Noooo, not Shiva!

[SoSueMe]

I'm stuck on wig maintenance. Maybe the loss of Shiva will break Zeke to the point that he shaves his head a la Shane.

[ShadowHunter]

Shiva being killed felt like being punched over and over.

Glad Jerry is still alive though.

Carol is back to slaying and getting stuff done. She was the best part about the episode.

Rick had a moment. Prefer him jumping from one car to the next and stabbing that guy then last week when he looked sad or stunned Daryl killed a savior.

[SimoneS]

Good episode. I enjoyed Jerry rescuing Ezekiel by slicing that annoying monologuing savior in two, Carol taking on the saviors, and Daryl and Rick getting the guns. Best of all Jerry made it out alive. 

The monologuing was out of control, but with any luck Shiva's death will stop Ezekiel's preference for monologuing.

Least I forget; good riddance to the ridiculous CGI pet tiger! Yeah, I am not crying. It isn't like it is a dragon.

Ugh, Negan and the Sanctuary next week. I might give that one a miss.

[xaxat]

Ezekiel "Leave me behind. I'm slowing you down!"

Me "Cut those damn dreds and lose ten pounds!"

Why are the 50 cal guns so important? They are powerful weapons, but I don't think two of them are decisive. 

On the other hand, a mini gun with unlimited ammo. . . 

[Ohwell]

Welp.  So much for that "Your Majesty" shit.  

I don't hate animals, but I was untouched at Shiva's demise.  She put up a good fight.

As usual, Carol saves the day.  Eh whatever.

[Ohwell]

I usually don't watch Chris Hardwick but I'll tune in just for Jerry. 

[HighMaintenance]

What is it with this show?  It's not happy unless one of every animal dies?  Even the CGI ones?

So, what was the corrosive stuff in the creek?  Was that leftover toxic goo from "Return of the Living Dead" or "Toxic Avenger"?

Carol/Rambo was in full force tonight.  This was almost season 4 levels of Carol tonight!

Who the hell was this random Savior with the HUGE ASS TEETH?  Also, teh anvil of evil was heavy tonight, plus another Savior who can't shut the fuck up.

But it looks like we FINALLY find out why Gabriel needed his shittin' pants! I was starting to wonder if they'd ever tell us.

The entire plan hinges on the big herd keeping The Sanctuary penned in. The .50 cals could pretty much mow the herd down.

[Jaundiced Eye]

I would have felt bad if Zeke died, but I think losing Shiva was far worse. It can't be said enough, Fuck you, Kirkman.

[tennisgurl]

I am enjoying the last two weeks having a running theme of: 

Annoying Savior: "Blah blah blah I am Negan blah blah I shall kill you eventually blah"

Someone with a lick of damn sense: *Kills them as they ramble on*

[cincivic]

Are we all in agreement? If Jerry dies, we riot. 

[EllenC]

Really, really? with Ezekiel's wig, showrunners. Take a little of the over-the-top zombie budget (or I guess the freed-up CGI budget now) and fix that dang thing. Unless I'm supposed to be distracted by the Ridiculous Hair Olympics on this show.

OMG, I probably just conjured the garbage pail kids with that.

I thought the same thing.  Not only can these idiots not shut up, they will actually have a pointless bitching sessions when a herd of walkers is right behind them.

[Spartan Girl]

RIP to Shiva, the greatest non-human badass. But NO MORE FUCKING ANIMALS ON THIS SHOW!

I'm already bracing myself for the loss of Jerry.

[Gobi]

Negan should put up a motivational poster: "Just Shoot Them!"

Carol is always my favorite part of any episode. The day we lose her is the day I'm done with the show.

 

I legit lol'd when that guy Rick stabbed hit the pavement. Classic Rick.

 

My other favorite part was Jerry slicing the Savior(who I'm calling Gary Wayne on account of he looked just like a serial killer from the '70s) in two. Glad I read the spoilers this week so I already knew about Shiva.

[nodorothyparker]

I'm as surprised as anyone to realize I found this one fairly entertaining.  Did everything make sense?  No, but there was plenty of action that I was actually able to follow and Carol and Jerry were both in fine form.  

Please show, do something about Rick's hair.  We already have one action figure Cousin It.

I remember people saying this about Daryl, and he became a boring idiot in desperate need of a shower.  I don't want that to happen to Jerry.

I love Carol's ability to assess a situation and find other ways to get things done besides just being able to shoot.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Hope Ezekiel gets his head back in the game soon.

Bwah! I don't understand Rick's hair. In show time, he has been away from Alexandria less than day, yet his hair has grown almost a month's length or more. No one on the cast or crew is apparently paying attention to Rick's grooming.

Honestly, I've just been assuming that for the last three episodes or whatever it's been that Negan is stil just standing there laughing his ass off about the shitting pants. I was kind of hoping that would keep him distracted until his entire empire crumbled. But, apparently, next week

Spoiler

it  is going to turn out that the shiiting pants will be used for shitting shit into the shitting pants until the shitting pants are full. Of shit. As one does. With shitting pants.

Next season on Walking Dead, a family of animatronic bears rescued from Chuckie Cheese will be the faithful companions of Carl and Judith as they solve zombie mysteries.

[mmecorday]

I thought this one was pretty good and it definitely got my heart racing. I love that Carol is always able to think on her feet even in the most dire situations.

Thank God the Saviors' worst shot was in the back of the gun getaway car.

Poor Shiva! I'm a cat person, so that scene got to me in a big way.

[tennisgurl]

I actually thought that was a pretty good episode. It helps that I like Ezekiel and Jerry and actually gave a shot that they might die. I was sure at first that either Jerry would die (being a more minor character but one that the audience knows enough to be upset by) or Ezekiel (who got some backstory and a lot of screen time), but instead it was everyone favorite post apocalyptic tiger. RIP Shiva. At least she went out defending her favorite human. I am glad that Ezekiel is still around, this could be an interesting place to take him and the Kingdom, who I actually find pretty compelling. Certainly more than most of the newer characters/locations we have had the last few years. 

Oh my God, Negan needs to teach his lackeys to JUST KILL PEOPLE! And not with boredom during their stupid monologue. Especially when you look like the bastard child of the Encyclopedia Britannica kid and Jeffry Dahmer. I will say, at least he was kind of creepy (putting blood on E`s face and stuff) and not just a boring idiot. This guy was an awkward idiot instead! Also, pretty rich having a Savior talk crap to Ezekiel about his whole Kingdom deal. Literally seconds after doing the "I am Negan" bit. Saviors not only suck at actually killing people, they seriously lack irony or self awareness. 

At least it meant Jerry got to be a badass! Go Jerry! 

Giggled at Daryl's reaction to Rick running his car off the road. "Hey..." We got some decent action, so that was something. 

[Christi]

Fuck You Walking Dead!!!! Im out!

You fucking Douchebags!!!!!

[mightysparrow]

It's a sad testament to how bad this show has gotten that THIS episode was so entertaining. 

It's sad that Shiva is gone.  I found it impossible to suspend my disbelief with the CGI tiger.  But I really love tigers so I didn't mind Shiva that much.

I'm more pissed off that we've lost all of the Kingdon's warriors.  They were the heroes of the ZA and now they're gone.  It might have been corny that they believed in all that 'King' stuff but they BELIEVED in something that wasn't cruel or exploited the weak.  Ezekiel might have been 'some guy' but he inspired a lot of people. 

[TattleTeeny]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

[CletusMusashi]

if Michonne was here, no way would she have allowed a big fuzzy kittycat to take the bullet for everybody.

[peach]

Watching Carol and Rick and Daryl kick ass is the reason I force myself to watch the rest of this show, so I liked this one.   Indiana Jones car jumping and everything!  I don't really have any emotion for a CGI tiger.  Too comic book for me.

Michonne should have been there, but her story line has been handed to Carol.  Michonne is too busy waiting on Rick to be a fighter.

I certainly hope that Michonne wouldn't put herself in danger over that thing. I just cannot get over how ridiculous that pet tiger was; an apex predator as a docile pet in a supposedly reality based world. Just beyond ridiculous.

I actually texted that to my mother and sister during the episode - because I saw a dead body in the post-Kingdomassacre that looked Jerryesque. I was ready to riot. Jerry and Flipper Cal have been added to my they-aren't-main-characters-but-I'm-fond-enough-of-them-to-riot list.

[Kiki777]

Yeah I cannot believe I am so sad about the loss of a CGI tiger but she brought the awesome in every scene.  Like Ezekiel's pep talk in the teaser after which she was all ROAR I CONCUR

Bright side- tonight's sad massacre will finally get Zeke to talk/act like a normal person.

and BTW sure we suspend our disbelief that there would be a 500# tiger thriving in the ZA but shouldn't said tiger be able to shred her way through a bunch of weak-ass slow-moving zombies??

Isn’t the actor working on another show as well?  It’s hard to have someone in a scene when they’re doing something else somewhere else. 

[peach]

Jerry reminds me of Keanue Reeves.  Like, Keanu's bigger brother.

She's filming an Avengers movie!  So she's really kicking ass out there.

Yep, Danai was filming Black Panther and then Avengers: Infinity War during these episodes. Besides, it has been less than a day so Michonne has not been out of action very on long on the show.

I liked Shiva SO MUCH but I admit, at the beginning of the episode, I was like "Oh, close-ups are NOT a CGI tiger's friend." And I'm not ashamed to admit that when she went down in a swarm of zombies after saving her human, I cried. Because yes, it's a fake tiger, but it's also a fake Ezekiel and fake Carol and fake Jerry and a fake entire universe, and I am not made of STONE.
