Thank fook for that.
I was doing a spot of stalking this morning of old threads and noticed that you were on exactly 13,000 posts.
You'd not posted for ages so I thought you may have decided that the numbers meant something, like, and that something meant you had to leave the internets.
I don't know what, mind. Perhaps something symbolic to do with your wart and Hallowe'en.

Sup, intercunts. Agreed, for the most part, about the general TWD consensus. I've watched it four times and I'm still not desensitised. Pure extraneous torture porn. And wasted emotional crunch, from a dramatic point of view, given the comic steering more prevalent in the show now and the nature of spoilers, and TV's pathetic reaction to them.
In an effort to deflect the obviousness of a Glenn cliffhanger, the writers had clearly chosen to give Abraham the lesser of the brutality as a shocker, with Glenn's panel for panel skull excavation in technicolor. They sough to switch us, naively in spasticland, oblivious to the immense likelihood that all this wank would be leaked online before they even called it a wrap. A badly wrapped wrap. With kebab sticking out all over the joint. So they killed two fuckers, who'd we'd become unfortunately invested in for the sake of spoiling a spoiler already existent throughout the known universe.
As for the brutality. Yes, it's a little bit much for me, even in comparison to the splatter-porn of previous seasons. Though, I can't help thinking, that this kind of TV is a necessary pushing of the envelope, if even only to be set against the hypocrisy of sex and language being tabooed. It was filthy an it was nasty, but nobody died.
It's all Daryll's fault anyway.
Nicely put. The lurid violence getting approved for air, while the resultant guttural profanity emanating from the on-screen spectators could not is completely absurd, as you say.
It's a show about zombies, and it's incredibly difficult to suspend disbelief (in retrospect, to be fair) when his pregnant wife to be doesn't utter 'fuck' at least once in reaction to his slaughter.
Anyway, that thing about Abe getting smashed first to make Glenn's rollocking more of a shock has been described on a few sites I've been to as a 'fake-out'.
People are just accepting this term without question.
Take-out is fine, it's taking food out of the fucking restaurant. Make-out is okay too as it's a euphemism. Fake-out is nothing, it doesn't make sense, it just rhymes so now it's a thing.
If you hear someone saying it, beat them to death with their kids.
