The Walking Dead: Season 8

[Hector]

I had ZERO fun, but I’m glad you did, lol...

[Gorn Captain]

I had the feeling that they ditched Negan for a few eps and gave some of his speeches to Simon. Yeah, I know, he is "Negan", but please, no more speeches.

Plenty of dumb moves in this one, again, but at least the walkers got some of the action. Which was a welcome relief from all the human psychology sessions.
I tried to watch is as a simplistic "monster on the loose" kind of story, and had some fun with that.

When the kid opened the gate, I thought "Carl Lives!!!!"

When the walker fell down the stairs, I was reminded of one of Homer Simpson's falls. Doh...doh...doh...

All I know is Walking Dead is still following it's basic formula

Make a cliff hanger for last week .... and then follow up the following week not even referring to it.

People tune in to see what going to happen to Negan and the first thing we see is Morgan having boring Rick style Season-3 style visions.

Also, they bump off annoying kid just to push a new one up to main cast from a secondary character ?

They need to cut out all the soap opera sub plots and focus on maybe 2 main plots

One guy at Twitter, mirroring what everyone is saying here...

No one heard a Walker fall down a flight of stairs?
-No lookouts after a major battle?
-That kid couldn't just shoot through the gate?
-Everyone sleeping in the house slumberparty style?
-Who was watching the prisoners?

Back to the Gimple days

Great review of last night’s episode...

1: I was so hoping that dumb kid got eaten...does that make me a bad person?

2: And Morgan...now he's seeing things. So tired of him and his multiple personalities...crazy, sane, pacifist, killer, nuts again. Ugh. Sadly though, when he leaves to Fear, they'll just saddle Carol or Daryl with this same thing. In fact, I bet Carol starts flipping back to "I can't deal with this" mode by Season's end, especially since she had to kill the guy who was her boyfriend for 1/2 an episode last year.

3: And Tara. What a maroon. I half expected her to blow her brains out last night

1: No, it makes you a fan of Charles Darwin...Natural Selection is needed there.

Awesome posts, guys...loving every word, lol...

So...how did Carol not become infected? She put her hands right in Tobin's bloody chest. Am I supposed to believe she has no small cuts, anywhere?

Or is about the quantity of blood an open wound comes in contact with? But if that's the case, then everybody who had their wounds dressed should have been plagued but not dead, more like Gabriel.

Last night was a huge missed opportunity to add a new layer. I thought it would've been cool if the infected fell into different states of zombiness. When you look at Negan's "alive, dead or somewhere inbetween", I thought that's where they were headed. As if Tobin became Bub from Day of the Dead; an undead who could communicate and wasn't bent on eating living people. What the hell would you do with a group like that? IIRC, that was Romero's original plan for Twilight of the Dead, the living were no longer threatened by the dead because they had become skeletal. The survivors were split between exterminating them or managing their decline.

Nice that Dwight pegged her with a clean arrow to "save" her from Simon, but then again HE COULD HAVE JUST SHOT SIMON since no one else was around!

My wife said the same thing.

[drquest]

How about a walker falling down a flight of stairs and no one asleep where it falls wakes up? Or how about no one yells out when they are being eaten by a walker?

Lots of goofy stuff in this episode.... The kid with the machine gun and the key to the prisoner pen??

[johnnystorm]

Oh, yeah, him and Maggie will be an item. And seriously, no one is on guard anywhere in that house? You have a hospital area full of wounded patients and no one watching to make sure no body dies and turns during the night? And as for the "prison", again no one watching, the kid has the key, but really all those men in there and they never pulled down the chicken wire fencing? I've had dogs get out of our yard easier!

I was so hoping that dumb kid got eaten...does that make me a bad person?

And Morgan...now he's seeing things. So tired of him and his multiple personalities...crazy, sane, pacifist, killer, nuts again. Ugh. Sadly though, when he leaves to Fear, they'll just saddle Carol or Daryl with this same thing. In fact, I bet Carol starts flipping back to "I can't deal with this" mode by Season's end, especially since she had to kill the guy who was her boyfriend for 1/2 an episode last year.

And Tara. What a maroon. I half expected her to blow her brains out last night because she might have got sick from Dwight's arrow ( and Sorry, but the infection doesn't spread that way anyhow). Nice that Dwight pegged her with a clean arrow to "save" her from Simon, but then again HE COULD HAVE JUST SHOT SIMON since no one else was around! But then, we are saving Simon for Lucille since he disobeyed Negan, right.

[Sideshow Spock]

After last week’s decent episode...tonight it went back to abysmal again.

Totally agree.

Also, it's been obvious since his first appearance in the pen that they're setting up the curly-haired Savior sweetheart guy to be Maggie's new love interest..

[Nostalgiabuff]

LOL, somehow I knew you would post something along those lines Hector. But yeah, that kid is really annoying. why would he even have a key for the lock? worst security ever. who guards the prisoners? anyone could climb out of that pen.

[Hector]

That kid is an even worse actor than Carl ever was...I can’t stand him.

Morgan, please go to Fear the Walking Dead already, I’m sick and tired of your shtick, it got old two years ago.

Maggie is a horrible leader...and news flash, still pregnant, lol.

My god...everybody must have a hearing problem or are just really heavy sleepers, lol.

One episode ago, Tara wanted Dwight dead, now she worships him, lol.

I don’t know why I keep doing this to myself...



P.S. Good news though...Jesus only had about 30 seconds of screen time, yeah!!!!!!!!!
