  1. Well. Of all the exits planned, I did not expect

     

    Rick to survive and be promised three TWD movies outside the series. They also apparently flash-forwarded five years to Judith in Carl's role, complete with hat and gun. Whatever!

     

    Was it necessary to kill Carl off if this was in mind? Why not let them both get the Hope Brady Cruise of Deception exit? Still, I'm stunned and a little impressed. Won't be watching any of this for years, though.

    As for the movies, they will follow what happens to Rick after his experience in Sunday's "What Comes After" episode. That saw foe-turned-friend Jadis (Pollyanna McIntosh) rescue a near-death Rick and accompany him on a helicopter to an unseen new community while his friends and family believe the former sheriff is dead. Gimple confirmed Lincoln will indeed be in all three AMC movies, which he says will explore the period between Rick's helicopter rescue and the years-later time jump that was featured at the end of Sunday's episode — and stretch beyond that period. Each movie will tell a complete story about Rick. "It is about who he is and who he's going to be — and certainly how he deals with the situation he's in," Gimple says. "We know Rick Grimes, he would want to be home."

     

    Other characters from the franchise — like Rick's romantic partner Michonne (Danai Gurira) and Daryl (Norman Reedus) — appearing in the movies (or elsewhere) is also a definite possibility. (Madden notes he has "high hopes" that Rick and Michonne's paths will cross again, despite the fact that Lincoln has filmed his last episode of the flagship series.) The first pic will be told from Rick's point of view and explore what Gimple called the "vast mythology" behind the other mysterious community looking for "A or B"-type people. "That serves the overall story to this next story we have for Rick," Gimple says.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I wish they'd just wrap the whole series up with one of these movies and a presumed reunion, but whatever, money's to be made.

  2. I didn't know he almost left last season.

     

     

  3. Mueller's next target?

     

     

  4. tldr: Right wing rags tried to offer money to women to mock up a #MeToo case against Mueller and got outed.

     

    Meanwhile:

     

     

  5. It sounds like Metal Gear Solid.

     

     

  6. Steven Yeun talks his star turn in South Korean arthouse hit Burning, which as a burgeoning Korean cinema buff I am dying to see, and his dissatisfaction with his role on TWD.


    Andrew Lincoln's final ep is this weekend - I am not watching these days but I expect I'll catch up someday. Folks are claiming this season is good but I just can't be bothered with the core cast falling away piece by piece.

  7. Antisemitism on the left ("Because Israel" is always the excuse) has been a personal peeve of mine for quite awhile.

     

    I wasn't shocked by the attack. I was shocked when I saw the hashtag "Squirrel Hill". I never thought it would be so close to my own family.

  8. The Bannon episode was probably the weakest so far for me (I'm still a week behind) - every line was shilling for applause and it felt very two dimensional. But I let it go bc tbh, after the last few weeks IRL those sentiments were what I needed.

     

    The show ranges from decent to mediocre to downright silly to me and I'm enjoying it, flaws and all. I do agree Faith Ford is given the least so far. It's wish fulfillment and it suits me when I'm low.

     

    I do wonder if Jim's cameo and flirtation with Phyllis will amount to more should he recur, either this season or if it gets renewed. I got the sense from his dialogue that Doris(?) was dead.
