    I liked the second episode of the season. I thought it was pretty good. A lot of work still goes into the effects and making of these things. I appreciate all they have to do to make some scenes come to life.

    In the old days, I'd have to watch a movie to have moments like in the TV Series. The show has many moments that look like it took a long time to set up.

      The ratings have crashed. AMC is trying to blame their on-demand service, which doesn't work unless numbers for live cable keep dropping.

      I found ep2 very soap opera filler. Nothing really happened, except they highlight events to make them see hugely consequential, when they're not.

        I did like the last episode. Yeah, I know, I'm surprised myself.
        But with all the "love is in the air", you know things are going to go horribly wrong soon. Maybe that's good, before there is a "Royal Wedding". I know it's terrible, but "Carol in love" just doesn't feel right....

        I'm hoping Daryl, obviously dissatisfied, will take off and hit the road, where he belongs. Maybe his group can travel the land, Mad Max style.
        But again, I've seen a lot worse episodes than this one.

          Daryl Mad Max...or Snake Plissken as he was up for that in the remake a few years ago...is a good idea.

            Norman Reedus is just not a good enough actor to carry the show without Andrew Lincoln (who is a damn good actor).

            Walking Dead with Daryl as the lead will be the final nail on the coffin.

                To be honest, Daryl and Carol are the only reasons I keep watching.
                Together with Glenn, they were my core characters, the ones I felt were fine examples of holding on to your humanity in inhuman times. Hershel and Dale were like that as well, but they didn't last long.
                I really wouldn't mind if they left the whole Alexandria situation, and went out on the road again.
                I've never felt any connection with Rick (even though that's my own name) during all those seasons. and I don't think I'll miss him much. The whole "we must redeem Negan and keep him alive" thing really made me dislike Rick too much. Negan brutally murders Glenn (who saved Rick's life in season one), but let's not kill Negan, it's what Carl would have wanted. Yeah, right.

                I'm just watching TWD out of habit now, but a Mad Max style ending would really suit me better. Go out with a bang, or ride out into the sunset to whatever is there...

                  I keep forgetting AMC said they want to make TWD movies.

                  "Hey, look whose leaving the show. Lincoln and Cohen. And Danai's contract is up next year". What a koinkydink.

                    Well Rick's final episode was tonight. Honestly this season has been keeping me watching, and I was looking forward to see what they were going to do tonight. Some of it i called a few episodes ago, and there was a few things that were quite surprising. I liked what they ended up doing, and I understand why they did it, and I'm wanting to see what next weeks episode brings, as it will be a different show for sure.

                      I thought it was good.

                      I also thought it was an odd choice they made.

                      It's weird what the character focus will be.

                      I'll get used to it, they will just need to fill in some in-between things.

                      It will be cool to move forward.

                          so it seems that Andy Lincoln is not done with WD and will be in some AMC movies that fill in what happens to him when he leaves in the helicopter. maybe they just felt he needed to get away from all the others?

                            I liked the episode, though I felt that Rick's heroic ending was spoiled by the surprise rescue.
                            The old "he's dead, but not really…"

                            Let's see what happens now, when we go a little more "mediėval".

                            I'm really dreading the feeling that they are going to put Negan back in the mix again...

                                I thought that was strange.

                                I guess by doing that they can say they searched for a few years, then had to give up.
