It's hard to explain it, but rewatching Fear the Walking Dead it's amazing how much better it is than original.

I only watched the first few episodes of Fear the Walking Dead but at the time it was clearly better than what the original was turning into.

I like the start of both, but they became zombies of their former selves

At the time though the difference in quality made me think they realized the original had gotten out of hand, so Fear might have functioned as a reset and an attempt to run a show with a serious level of writing from the start.

Not gonna lie, "Do you know who I am?" was the line of the night.

If we don't get a Negan reuniting with Rick scene, it will be almost as bad if we don't get Rick meeting back up with Drrrl, Michone, or Shane's Kid. After the disaster of failing to have even one scene between Alicia and Madison on the other show, they owe us this. Rick finding out Negan has been redeemed and saved his people multiple times will justify Rick allowing Negan to live, and prove that Coral was right about there being another way and everyone getting along.

Pretty much all I'm watching for now is that, and in general to see the Negan grenade get thrown in various circumstances and lean and snark his way out.

Can someone catch me up on who the bald guy and the girl stalking Carol are? Who are they working for, what are their objectives and why is Carol and the kids scared of them?

The premiere was kinda boring but E18 was good. Interesting deviation from the comics. And the preview for E19...just ridiculous that the zombies are changing now.

They're Lance's goons. The woman is fake-Max that manipulated Glen last season.

The second in command at the Commonwealth. Basically their chief of police, including their secret police. Utter ratfuck, likes grey suits.

This is the final final season, right? I’m curious where the commonwealth arc ends in relation to the comics and if they do the same final issue bit 10-20 year time skip

Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised at how reasonably competent it was in the beginning of the season. This last third is back to boring bullshit.

surely they're done with the heart to hearts between every character and why they need to go on and how loved they are and blah blah blah and the last ep will just wrap things up with some big setpieces

I think it's for the entire stage of this loving saga; a mate said they did the same plot point over in Fear.

tbh I reckon Kang's being Gimpled* as we approach the finale. Gotta keep the franchise machine chugging along.

Season 8 is likely sometime next year

In terms of other show stuff:
Tales of the Walking Dead just ended its first (maybe only?) season
The Negan/Maggie spinoff premieres next year
The Daryl spinoff is going forward, unknown premiere year
The Rick/Michonne spinoff premieres next year

But hey, the three Rick films got canceled :toot:

A little EQ, a touch of reverb, slap on some compression and there. That'll get your dickbutt jiggling.

If by cancelled you mean The Walking Dead stops, but the 6 spinoffs live on.

The best way to build tension around the potential fates of your main characters going into a finale is to make sure they all have spinoffs announced well before it airs.

SNATTER'S ALIVE?!?!
My one red line for the finale is that Eugene Porter, having survived this long via creative use of science, lying, begging, cowardice, cold tablets, vomit, dick-biting, ham radio romance, sabotage, voyeurism and mulletry, must make it to the end credits in one piece.

It will be very difficult for this to be the most unsatisfying series finale of 2022, though, as the last three minutes of Killing Eve exist.

Also, my hope is that the Maggie and Negan spinoff is a fakeout and will turn out to be a suburban house-sharing wacky sitcom, mismatched step-parents coping with precocious offspring, with a laugh track and Jim Jefferies as the annoying neighbor.
