I'm not blaming the actor though I just really hate the character and the way he talks.

I hear that, and yes, I agree, it has gotten tired real fast. It's just too over the top to be believable. Maybe he is trying to provide a sense of wonderment that might inspired people not to give up hope in this world gone mad...but what bugs me most about it is the way he totally changed from "No Rick, we won't join you. Good luck" to leading the charge of the light brigade. This show has spent time developing character arcs, and his conversion from stepping back to stepping up was weird.

A tiger would have to have about 10-25 POUNDS of meat per day.

That shouldn't be a problem. There is an oversupply of...carrion, shall we say, in this world gone mad, plenty enough for a tiger that is no longer expending the amount of energy it normally would in stalking, chasing and killing to eat.

Short of that, it would have long ago munched on King Ezekiel and all the rest of the Kingdumb. And it must be a VERY trained cat. I mean, at the Battle for Alexandria, it's off the leash, and seems to know NOT to chomp on Carl or Rick, but only on the Saviors. Glad to know Sheba the Tiger studied the rosters and knew who was who and who was fighting for who. I mean, how does the tiger know NOT to chomp on say....Maggie?

Good question. But animals have more sense than we give them credit for. Think of your average pet that doesn't take kindly to a stranger until its owner says it's okay, then it's okay. Their senses are tuned to those kinds of things sufficiently that it's not altogether implausible...however, let's be real, we're talking about a zombie universe! Zombies aren't real, thus "plausibility" has already been calibrated for this fictional landscape.

But just because there was a tiger in the comic book does NOT mean there HAS to be a tiger on the show.

Absolutely agree here. But, if you were a film maker, wouldn't you want to try it and see how it looks?

It's time for this 'character' to get eaten. We need to say goodbye to the tiger.

I hate the "King" so cringey. I hate it whenever he talks.

To be fair, if the actor is playing the character according to A) the comics and/or B) the direction he's getting from the director, then we may have to give the actor some slack. If he's nailing the role, and the role sucks, that's a shame...but I'm fairly certain his lines are not ad libbed, but were written by...someone who doesn't appreciate that, sometimes, less is more.

The King is annoying, but Shiva is a gorgeous gal!

There you go. Happy?

It was very sad when the tiger bit the dust. Kind of dreadful, really. Bad day for Ezekiel.

Yeah. There's a difference between bad acting, bad writing, and bad directing. I don't think the actor is bad at all.

At least I got my wish regarding the tiger.

Well, you got your wish.

I was let down by the tiger fight scene...Shiva should have done alot more damage to the walkers.

Agree, the actor is fine. Its the hackneyed writing that brings his scenes down.

RIP, Shiva. I will miss you.

I am so tired of the King. He is grating on my nerves. He should have been a walker feast five times.

I was let down, period. Shiva deserved a better death than being eaten by walkers. Taken out by a Savour maybe. LIke a warrior.

I'd say she went out good. She saved the King, Carol, and Jerry. She fought off about a dozen walkers before succumbing to the crowd that was irrational and never stopped charging at her. It was a good death IMO.
