Negan's long windedness is the cause of most bad things that happen to him. He really needs to get to the point.

I hope when next season there are at least seven episodes devoted to a character struggling with wanting to be a pacifist.

I'm west coast and used to avoid this thread after 6:00 my time so I wouldn't accidentally read spoilers.

Now I just read the thread instead of watching it. Unless someone says "Maggie got ripped apart by zombies" I skip it. I used to watch it every Sunday with my teenaged daughter but even she has grown tired of it, and she had Norman Reedus draw a heart on her wrist at a convention and didn't wash her hand for a month.

So does that mean Dwight is still Anti-Negan?

He took pretzels and beer to his old house where his wife was, also Negan hot-ironed his face (after loving his wife and indirectly causing his sister to die).

Negan's weakness is that he thinks fear buys truly abject loyalty. He's also gotten overly cocky since nabbing Alexandria. Worse, he's let his Redneck Uber Crew of toadies get overly cocky.

At this point, I'm just wondering who is going to take him out personally. Rick? Zeke? Carol? Dwight? Daryl? Shiva? Carl, Maggie, Enid? Maybe Sherry will have lived and will reappear just to do the honors. Or maybe we'll get a new Stone Cold in the making and Henry will?

Personally, I vote for Jerry.

There was a monologue that went on long enough for the murder of a main character to be thwarted at the closest instant possible. There were no casualties except maybe extras during a smoky battle scene, in which all the main characters started out with guns pointed at them and kneeling on the ground, and somehow all of them simultaneously got the upper hand when only one or two of them were distracted by the tiger. The only main character death was preceded by 20 minutes of flashbacks featuring at least one character who previously died, talking about life philosophy and what it means to have something to live for.

Well, that checks off all the checkboxes.

Yeah, the ending was rather lackluster.

Also, I really don't need Negan in Season 8. Having the Governor be a multi-season villain was bad enough.

Woof. At least they finally got to the fireworks factory, I guess.

And I'm not really surprised, but I was hoping maybe a quick Bob or Tyreese cameo in the 'Sasha remembers' segments. But then again when Tyreese got chomped by the world's weakest, sneakiest zombie, he hallucinated Beth of all people rather than his dead girlfriend.

The first 40 minutes was a series of scenes with either sad or angry people standing or sitting while talking about being angry or sad. You can't just have two emotional states in your show. In a visual medium having people mostly stand around talking in dreary locations is lovely and boring.

That is all.

I thought the finale was okay, at the very least it was way better than last year's shitpile. I also thought they were going to off Carl for real because everyone was talking about how the actor wanted to go to college.

1. The same guy got killed twice by Shiva, or so it looked. (I know they were supposed to be two different guys.)

2. Michonne should have recovered a little faster in time to shoot the middle finger off with the sniper rifle.

3. Not much happened to any major characters.



Really wondering if the producers are going to become aware how stupid everything is at some point and at least try to turn it around.

Trashkru is hosed. Do they kiss and make up next season or does Rick kill them all? Third option is they walk away forever.

Also, lol it felt like 40 minutes was wasted on Sasha. That poo poo coulda been handled in 4 scenes, then give us a 40 minute gun fight. Instead, nope gotta say good bye to the dead person for half an hour.

When they re-release this show as Walking Dead Kai, how many episodes do you think they could edit this half season down to? I'm thinking four, I think they could literally cut the run time of these past 8 episodes in half and not lose anything.

At this point Carol is the physical embodiment of Plot Armor for the main crew. What's this, the third of fourth time she's saved everyone at the last second?

So far, they could cut out the two Oceanside episodes altogether. There was much ado about scavenging for guns, they found and lost some guns, and the betrayal scene would have worked just as well as if it were written so that they were able to get enough guns for the trash people without robbing Oceanside.

Not counting the first season, you can probably get like 2-4 hours out of each season and still convey the same story. I would like to think you can just recut the show, take out all of the dumb scenes, and just tell a better story, but then some characters would just sorta stop existing.

Right when tiger-ex-machina happened and the Kingdom/Hilltop crews both sprang into action, my boyfriend who had been quiet the entire fight scene finally said 'This. Is. loving. Terrible.'

Personally, I thought it was hilarious that both groups seemed like they were already there but just quietly waiting to make the most dramatic 'cavalry has arrived!' moment ever (was a Kingdom guy carrying a loving banner?!)

Then again, I laughed when Rick was being led toward Negan and Carl, and the first dead no-name Alexandrian he saw was literally in a red shirt. Just once I want a throwaway line 'Did this guy even live here?'
