12721757, Everybody hates Chris needs more practice as an actor.
Posted by Hitokiri, Sun Feb-08-15 09:15 PM
His movements and gestures are delivered like a comedic actor, so it looks weird in this serious ass setting.
12722833, I'd love to write an indie romcom for him
Posted by CaptNish, Mon Feb-09-15 08:54 PM
Something about him I find incredibly likeable.
12721766, That wouldn't've happened to Cutty, doe
Posted by Hitokiri, Sun Feb-08-15 09:23 PM
12721769, That doesn't look like a Richmond neighborhood
Posted by Garhart Poppwell, Sun Feb-08-15 09:27 PM
Chris must be one of those Henrico niggas

My sentiments EXACLTY.
12721784, I missed everything before the opening credits
Posted by Teknontheou, Sun Feb-08-15 09:46 PM
What did they show about their travels. I didn't realize they weren't in Georgia until they just said they're 100 mi. from DC.
12721788, Everybody hates Chris wanted to go back to his "compound"
Posted by Hitokiri, Sun Feb-08-15 09:50 PM
He and Beth were gonna go there. So... they kinda decided to go there in hopes it'd still be standing and to "honor" Beth. It was of course desolate and zombified. It was in Richmond.
12721944, did this not make sense to anyone else?
Posted by Binlahab, Mon Feb-09-15 08:46 AM
lets all just leave & go to richmond for this new guy?

and where was the rest of the crew...set up where?

it felt weird to me....too much flashback & dreamy type scenes


does it really matter?

wonder what bin's doing?

12722011, I think the idea is that it was a safe place for them to stay. Not sure
Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Mon Feb-09-15 10:11 AM
why everybody loves Chris Left the place though.

12722196, But why did Everyone Hates Chris leave Richmond in the first place?
Posted by Niq96st, Mon Feb-09-15 12:13 PM
I love we're gonna call him this and not his actual name on the show.

12721785, OH SHIT!
Posted by Hitokiri, Sun Feb-08-15 09:48 PM
That was outta nowhere
12721792, What a strange episode.
Posted by Hitokiri, Sun Feb-08-15 09:56 PM
I did hear this half of the season would be completely different. But this can't be the new tone.
12721858, greg nicotero directed
Posted by Kevin26_2, Sun Feb-08-15 11:28 PM
which explains why the feel of it was so different than al the other episodes. much of it felt like a weird fever dream
12721794, How many people gotta die for Chris though
Posted by lease54, Sun Feb-08-15 10:00 PM
I dont hate him , but like 4 people died for his ass already
12721955, after watching Talking Dead and then the re-run of the episode
Posted by T Reynolds, Mon Feb-09-15 09:10 AM
I appreciated the artsy-ness of the episode a little more the second time around.

Not much happened, but the circular nature of the episode, the misdirection, and the underlying themes are more obvious the second time around, and I actually ended up liking it more.
12722009, That was a Cutty Must Got A Network TV Deal Death
Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Mon Feb-09-15 10:10 AM
Not much build up, didn't seem like a "necessary" death. It would have been slightly more interesting if he "gave up" before he got bit.

12722190, Unnecessary? The show was in violation of the ONAT clause.
Posted by spades, Mon Feb-09-15 12:09 PM
12722249, I think I'd rather have Cutty than Every hates Chris in a fight.

12722258, At the moment
Posted by Numba_33, Mon Feb-09-15 12:58 PM
there are two black female survivors left. Let's see if the theory pans out and Tyrese's sister is the next person to catch a bad one.
12722460, It's only applied to males.
Posted by spades, Mon Feb-09-15 02:47 PM
They've had two black females for a while.
12722681, technically 2 dudes, also. preacherman was there b4 EHC showed up
Posted by Riot, Mon Feb-09-15 05:49 PM
and before preacherman, lucky @ss bob was there, punching way above his weightclass with cutty's sister



but wasnt no way EHC was joining the group and the 2 other brothers was sticking around
12722694, Preacherman is such a non-factor I forgot all about his ass.
Posted by spades, Mon Feb-09-15 06:02 PM
and I'd be SHOCKED if they didn't get rid of him before too long.
12722762, Actually, there are 3 if you count dude that is stalking them
Posted by lease54, Mon Feb-09-15 06:56 PM
Rick"s buddy from season1
12722255, To be fair
Posted by Numba_33, Mon Feb-09-15 12:56 PM
the show had to arrange for the actors for the previously dead characters to pop up again, so some level of planning was involved with killing Tyrese off. Not saying I agree with him dying, but I don't think it was out of a place of being vindictive.
12722676, Am I only one who thinks of tons of places that would be safe?
Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Mon Feb-09-15 05:43 PM
They spent time considering that gated community but seems to me that any well built high rise building would be a safe place to set up camp.

Other jails.

Schools.

I feel like their would be tons of places that are fortified and livable.


Maybe just me.

12722835, A. Fucking. Yacht.
Posted by CaptNish, Mon Feb-09-15 08:57 PM
Only come to land for food runs.

Or fuck... a cruise ship.
12723005, May not work though
Posted by Paps_Smear, Tue Feb-10-15 08:42 AM
I think I may have read a story that had them doing this for a while.

The boat would need a lot of maintenance so you don't have someone skilled in that you're screwed after awhile.

You could fish like a mug though
12722677, the black dudes should shank any new black dude at bed time
Posted by Riot, Mon Feb-09-15 05:44 PM
the group meets a new brown-skin straggler?



peace, king. lets take a walk over by this ditch and i show u my new zombie-killing shovel
12722695, Right?! On some Highlander shit.
Posted by spades, Mon Feb-09-15 06:03 PM
12722785, Lots of foreshadowing for the Alexandria Safe Zone/Negan
Posted by Garhart Poppwell, Mon Feb-09-15 07:26 PM
The barbed wire, Glenn with the baseball bat, Chris' moms with her head caved in...doesn't look good for Mr. Green
12722839, They may be teasing but they should change that for the show, imo
Posted by kevlar skully, Mon Feb-09-15 08:59 PM


Instead, introduce Daryl to Lucile
12723029, I agree, Glenn and Maggie are a needed bright spot in the show
Posted by Garhart Poppwell, Tue Feb-10-15 09:27 AM
and them actually being married instead of playing house is a great thing, symbolically.
12723065, MUCH needed bright spot, for real. Shoulda kept Sasha/Bob longer
Posted by kevlar skully, Tue Feb-10-15 09:54 AM
And I'm sorry but you gotta keep the Korean homie around, if another Asian dude shows up though, I already know what time it is
12753831, This is the first season I am genuinely on the edge of my seat. (spoilers)
Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Tue Mar-17-15 11:01 AM
Like I am dreading something really bad is going to happen to a character I care about.

I had just started caring about Everyone hates Chris and I was sure all the characters were in the clear when Mullet showed up to save the day. SMH.

At this point I can live with them killing Rick off but Glenn, Maggie, Carol.

They also managed to make the third safe haven they've showed up at interesting and non-repetitive because while it's clear that it's not a trap it is also pretty clear they are foreshadowing the gang F'ing up a pretty good thing those people got going.

Good stuff season 5.
