Walking Dead

[CycloneWarning]

I don't sympathize with Negan but he is kind of fun.

I have yet to understand why Negan didn't just kill off Rick at the end of the season. He obviously understands that Rick and his crew know what it takes to survive but you would think he would also realize that he just isn't going to break them.

Since they are stretching out the final conflict with Negan to Season 8, I do hope and I do anticipate that we will get the Negan backstory. And it is probably a really good opportunity for TWD to redeem itself if the writing and acting are good and the story in intriguing. Count myself as someone that is very curious about his past. Was he always a bully and an ass, or what led to this?

"Challenge accepted." - Negan

If I remember right, his backstory isn't all that interesting the little I remember but who knows if they show keeps it the same.

I could deal with the Governor. IMO, Negan has no redeeming qualities. He's not trying to make things better for "his" people. He's just as sadistic to them as he is to everyone else.

Negan has a charm and is entertaining. Take the Governor for example, even he had some intriguing traits, but ultimately the dark far outweighed the light which makes them villains. It's interesting when a show can take a villain, and eventually make the viewer favor them over time. Its makes for a more interesting show.

You and I have different definitions of "charm"!!!

The only thing I've heard is that he was a used car salesman.

I was going to guess sporting good sales, since he has such an extensive background with beach balls.

All supervillains need to monologue...without Rick, Negan can't do that.

Beach balls, baseball bats,...

He respects him and the challenge of breaking him turns him on apparently. I mean really, what does Negan lose by continuing this? His followers are the ones who lose, and he just keeps replacing them.

The Walking Dead’s original showrunner Frank Darabont continues to paint a bizarre (and vulgar) picture about the first two seasons of the show, as his $280-million legal fight against AMC has unveiled thousands of documents and emails from his time on set. In short, he was pissed.

A few years ago, Darabont and his agents filed a lawsuit against AMC saying he should’ve been paid, in full, for the second season of The Walking Dead—even though he was fired in the middle of it. He also claims he didn’t get his rightful percentage of licensing fees because the production studio licensed the show to the network at an obscenely low rate—on purpose, he adds—so people like him wouldn’t get the money they were owed.
...
Here’s an email to executive producer Gale Anne Hurd and others from June 2011, one month before he was fired:

**** you all for giving me chest pains because of the staggering ******* incompetence, blindness to the important beats, and the beyond-arrogant lack of regard for what is written being exhibited on set every day. I deserve better than a heart attack because people are too stupid to read a script and understand the words. Does anybody disagree with me? Then join the C-cam operator and go find another job that doesn’t involve deliberately ******* up my show scene by scene.​

Wow, any emails like that at my work (deserved or not) would get you almost instantly canned.

Here is one of the funniest comments I saw on a story about his lawsuit.

Frank Darabont gave us Season 2 and the endless farm....

Walking Dead production has been halted. A stuntman sustained a fatal head-injury on set.

Stuntman John Bernecker has reportedly lost all brain function and is now on life support, according to Deadline. His family are making preparations.

...
Deadline's sources have reported that Bernecker fell 30 feet onto a concrete floor and has sustained a life-threatening head injury.

That's sad...

 

[CloneinWDSM]

I have a really bad joke that I'm just going to keep to myself.

That's a bummer. Wonder what happened as usually they are all about safety With stuntmen

 

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

That's too bad. No matter how many precautions they take something bad can happen.

Sadly I think I know the gist of your really bad joke. Probably along the lines of someone playing a zombie and the serious head injury.

So the series is going to end with Rick waking up from his coma and it was all a bad dream?
