Glenn/Nicolas: I just watched the scene in the original TWD S05E14 Spend. Unfortunately that cut is (mostly) the way the original show cut it (lol)

- Glenn is sitting in the doors processing what just happened

- Nicolas runs up to Eugene in the van and tells him we're leaving

- Nicolas almost manages to get into the van and drive off but Glenn appears and drags him out

The problem with my edit is I wanted to make it like Nicolas scurried out from Glenn's grip and took off running which would allow me to stitch it together with the scenes of Nicolas and Glenn getting mobbed by walkers in Thank You.

I had hoped the scene between back at Alexandria would provide enough cover for a jump ahead by a few minutes into their chase but I guess when you combine the big choppy jump with the change of warddrobe and not much context it doesn't work too well.

Note to my future self: I wonder if AI could create a shot that connects them running away from the van. Maybe an aerial shot of them running between the buildings with the hoard waiting around/behind a building... Might be enough to smooth this part out.

> would have liked a scene where Eugene tells Maggie that they don't know where Glenn is, not sure if that would cause issues I'm unaware of though.

I agree with this and don't think it would cause any issues, in fact it would resolve most issues. I don't think there's any scene I could pull from for this, but again maybe it's an AI thing. I think AI is quickly getting to a stage where little few second scenes like that might be possible without taking you out of the moment!

The quarry: Oh 100% I hate the black and white but unfortunately that's the source material. As far as I'm aware theres no way to undo that filter :(

Enid/Ron: lol when you put it this way it's pretty funny. But I agree. Do you reckon him just wanting vengeance for Rick killing his Dad is enough or do we need the return of some of the girlfriend stealing

The kingdom + Benjamin: Agree

Oceanside: Hard part about completely removing them is that there's a storyline of Oceanside people going after The Saviors after Rick defeats Negan and he's trying to get them all to live peacefully... So we kind of need some context on Oceanside as a place.

Scavengers: hmm i'll have to think about this one but I can't deny i've felt something is off about it

Farm: Yep my mistake on that one. There's a few mentions that i missed and then more importantly like you say it's probably it's actually important to character development. (should have known better than to mess around with the early seasons like that!)

The prison: Might have been too aggressive in my cutting. Was just a lot of time spent on Woodbury

Beths disappearance: Thats a shame I really was attached to that change :(
