I would legit give WD another chance if they make loving Negan the new Rick.
*Actual* struggling of a character to decide what kind of person they want to be as opposed to every single supposed "are we the baddies?" moment from Rick? Sign me the gently caress up.

Fake edit: It would be like if Shane had lived and Rick had turned at the farm.

I predict Rick will not die, but ride off into the sunset, to be potentially brought back in a future Walking Dead universe. I mean, what does killing the guy off do for the show. Another crying scene

He's actually pansexual, meaning he will gently caress the dead

At this point I think Daryl is the most asexual person to ever live, he's never made the move on a single person in the entire apocalypse and never even complained about it

It seems to me that concluding Rick's story (however they would do it) is the only remaining way to end the series in any sort of meaningful or satisfying way. Even then they would have had to be planning this for a while in order to execute it properly.

As it is, this will probably be like in The Office after Michael leaves. The show circling the drain before they just pull the plug.

I'm kind of sad that it got announced. I know it probably would have leaked anyway, but I'm fairly good at avoiding leaked spoilers. I was not expecting to see "ANDREW LINCOLN LEAVING HALFWAY THROUGH NEXT SEASON" as the first headline on my reddit feed. I'm not mad, I know discussing shows online inevitably leads to spoilers, just kind of sad that I know it's gonna happen before it does and it's gonna suck most of the impact out.

I know. Remember when Travis died on Fear? It was like 'HOLY gently caress!!'

Then again when characters die on Fear they don't get an hour long monologue, they loving die

Right, they're not being super cagey about it so I'm not inclined to believe he dies. His whole everything would be pointless now if this was going to be his death; Judith, along with Carl's vision for the future is essentially his plot armor

Maybe early retirement is his future, there are other thriving communities where he wouldn't have to be in a leadership roll

Prediction.
Judith turns and eats Rick. Maggie walks in on a Zombaby with 180 lbs of Andrew Lincoln in it's stomach, passes out, hits her head on a table and gets an intracranial bleed. Siddique or whatever the new doctor guy's name is tries to preform impromptu brain surgery and fails. No one can bear to put Zombaggie down, so they get Neegan to do it. Neegan busts her head apart with Lucille. Judith, still trying to crawl towards them with a fully grown man inside her grotesquely distended stomach finally pops, leaving only a Zombaby head. Neegan picks up the head by the hair turns to the group and says "I hope you've got your making GBS threads pants on" before tossing the head in the air, and Babe Ruthing it over the fence with Lucille.

Neegan turns to the camera and breaks the 4th wall by saying "How long do you think we can keep this up?" Screen fades to black. All remaining episodes are scenes from previous seasons, intercut as flashbacks. There are commercial breaks every 60 seconds. Chris Hardwick begins openly drinking hard liquor on air and challenging audience members to fight him IRL before being dragged away by security.

Fear already did that. Travis went apeshit on two dudebros, this guy Oscar attempted to intervene and Travis slammed his head in the door jamb.

The guy’s brother attempted to pop out a piece of his skull with one of those things you punch out door knob holes with but failed.

He went for revenge and Alicia ended up stabbing him even though he was the closest thing to a doctor the group had.

I'll be honest, I didn't even watch them due to this general vibe from the thread. Also, when the ambush wound up being setup in a lame way, and Dorie getting hit, I was like: "Okaaaay, chances are good this is the Gimplening in effect, so let's just hold off on the last two unless the thread feels good about them." and yyyeah. :(

I dunno, maybe I'll come back to it in august if I feel like it.

When Gimple was placed in control of the entire TWD/FTWD continuity, he's really ported over all the bad stuff from The Walking Dead into Fear. Which is a huge shame. I still feel S3 of Fear is the best either show has been in a looooong time, maybe ever. Watch up til the end of S3 though!

Yea it's just, we haven't watched FTWD suck for 2 straight years; a couple of episodes that suck here and there, it's fine, whatever...

But I am over the epicc midseason finales. I feel it really does force these shows into panic mode, for no reason

Some early The Spoiling Dead Fan spoilers:

"Basically Gregory tries to manipulate Earl (Hilltop’s blacksmith) into killing Maggie. Earl's son Ken was killed during a run, and Gregory, knowing that Earl is an alcoholic, gets him drunk and convinces him to attack Maggie. He does, and Maggie and Enid are both injured. Enid is confined to a wheelchair, though it isn't permanent. Maggie eventually finds out the truth and publicly executes Gregory. (Hangs him like in the comics)

BUH BYE GREGORY!! TOO BAD SO SAD. Not."

"In episode 9.02, Michonne rides in on a horse alone to Hilltop to talk with Jesus and Maggie. That's when she notices the Hilltop has way more food and realizes that Maggie is keeping resources from the Sanctuary intentionally. The Hilltop has significant food resources now, but Maggie is basically starving them."

---

I'm going to guess they're going to suddenly make Maggie into the half-season villain, twisting her character solely because they need a villain confrontation for the mid-season finale, and they need a way to kill both Rick and Maggie off, because the show loves contorting characters' personalities to suit the needs of sudden changes in the acting talent and drama instead of making any sense

It's the most gimpled TV that ever gimpled.

It's really loving bad. They ruined all the characters, the living and the dead.

I really hope HBO picks up the season 3 show runner or something.

ED: Is it sad that I think Gimple is sitting in his office super proud of all this, going 'This is just like Game of Thrones! Everyone's upset about character deaths! Perfection!' and not understanding everyone hates his lovely shows.
