The Walking Dead: Season 8

[Hector]

Anybody else hates the host of Talking Dead?

Can’t stand that dude...nothing but a corporate cheerleader...

[Hector]

Yes. That article is great and right on point. The series is just the same scenario played over and over again now. I think it has been a misstep to not expand the world. They just migrate a few miles and encounter a new threat in a new community. That made some great stories early on... It's just a tired formula now. It just feels like they've run out of story ideas and are counting on new ways to shock the audience to keep folks coming back. You guys all did great work and made a great show. Time to move on.

How long has Maggie been pregnant? Four years now?

[Hector]

The Walking Dead used to be a top five show for me. Now I’m trying to place it at number 20, but so many shows better than WD now...

Maybe between Supergirl and the Flash...

[CrimsonGhost]

You know, I just moved and I don't have a way to watch the show right now. In years past, that would have killed me and I would be scrambling to either download it or find a friend that had cable so I wouldn't miss it.... but I find that I couldn't care less. I'll watch it eventually. Or not. Whatever.

Honestly, someone could have just texted you that Carl died and it would have carried about the same resonance as if you had watched.

[Gorn Captain]

Rick and Negan, picking strawberries together, hey, this show is going to have a happy ending. Cheer up, people...

[Nostalgiabuff]

hey, Neegan and his lovely wife just had a baby girl so it's all good.

[Hector]

I guess SPOILERS...but who really cares anymore, lol...


I hate Rick more than ever. Leaving the odd but hot Jadis to die (who started talking normal, lol). What a piece of work he’s turned into. Carl left all those letters to seek peace. But the first thing Rick tells Negan is that he’s going to kill him, way to honor your kid, Rick.

Ok, so Jadis tried to kill Rick twice...but who is counting...

[Hector]

I guess more spoilers...


I did like how Simon was actually defying Negan...that part was interesting..

What I got out of that was that they are wanting to soften Negan up to the audience. After these Carl dream sequences showing Negan as "nice gardener working in harmony guy", and last night showing the softer more reasonable side of the man by contrasting him against someone else doing despicable things, that feels like the set up to me.

I could be wrong. Hope that I am. After killing the original crew as cruelly as he did, he needs a comeuppance, not promoted to hero.

I liked that as well... I like the Simon character quite a bit, he is of course headed for a bad fall...

The second half of the episode was the better half last night.

Ha. Ha. Yes, he's destined for the grinder.

Once again, didn't they provide the solution to their woes? You can build a trash heap that acts as a maze and just funnel the dead into the grinder. The major obstacle is maintenance, but even then TWD has shown a level of Mad Max resourcefulness so keeping the parts working shouldn't be an issue.

Then again, where the hell was the power being generated from...is that part of the "solar panels" Simon was referring to?

[johnnystorm]

So Rick needs to go warn Jadis before finding his own people. They get there then just leave her to die.
Luckily the grinder works and we learn how the sausage gets made.

Then Rick reads Negan's mail (how rude!) and calls him to threaten. Negan shows more emotion over Carl's death than most of the Alexandrians did, including the inner circle lot like Daryl & Tara. Starting to hope Negan kills Rick and takes over. That would be so interesting and the shakeup the series needs.

And hey, remember when Michonne was a badazz? Now she just makes sad eyes with Rick.

Simon will be meeting Lucille up close.

[Hector]

Yeah, we all know Rick is going to win...but oh my...how I wished it was the other way around...seeing Negan bashing Rick’s brains in and out, lol...
