Both. He annoys me more than the others. Could be that I have higher expectations for him and he's completely failed to live up to his potential.

Best part is watching the previews where the garbage folks having seen Negan escape Rick’s trap are now going to stick with Rick? I’d think she’d kill Rick and go back to her deal with Negan. So many character flips just to suit the writing that it becomes infuriating. Don’t fool yourself into thinking Shane wouldn’t have changed as well.Frustrating to watch. Why the garbage chick doesn't just have Rick shot when he has her down/let's her up is beyond me. And the other walker with spikes in his head.It's been done.
Darrly used to be a badass. Now he's just a doofus. The Karl/Wajid story is boring already. Rosarita, who once wanted to kill Negan, is now passive.
This story needs Shane.

yea I was trying to figure that one out too, if Daryl was just going to put a block on the gas and jump out why the hell would Michonne even considered riding with? what good would she have done even being with? Or did I miss the point of that conversation?snogger said:With the way Daryl and Michonne were talking there I was beginning to believe this would be the end of Daryl... and with next week being a 90 minute Mid-season finale with the teaser of "Watch to the end for something everyone will be shocked/talking about... ".. I have to wonder.. are Daryl's days numbered.
Rick passes another gladiator zombie fight test (no kidding exactly like last time) to win over the GPKs. Daryl, Michone and Miss Piggy run a garbage truck into the sanctuary to let the zombies in (Rick climbs a tower and sees what happened at the end and does not look happy at all!).El Floppo said:
Other than those two things the whole episode was focused on Eugene who wrestled with doing the right thing (according to Father Gab) and staying loyal to Negan in helping him find a way out. At one point almost snitching on Dwight after Dwight foils his attempt at a music playing remote control airplane to lead the zombies away. Eugene's turmoil in wresting with what to do is highlighted with him drinking a bottle of wine as fast as he can and throwing up in the sink.
You can now rest easy and just wait for the finale. You're welcome.

Not true at all. It's frustrating watching a show I enjoy turn to #### the way this one has. I make this same point every week... I'm still not lying.
At this point I've got other things to do with those 40 minutes, so I'll wait until the finale next week.
Tony just spoiled everything anyways.
I think it was still the red paint from Dwight’s chess set. It didn’t really matter. We know he’s basically been on Negan’s side all along. He’s a ##### and has to have a protector.
No clue on the plan. Seemed dangerous but it wasn’t even close to it. I think maybe Rosita and Michonne bailed because they didn’t want the workers’ blood on their hands? Just like a lot of this and last season, much ado about nothing. Lots and lots of filler. I can’t even remember the start of the season but it seems like we’ve watched a day or two of action so far? Hard to even recall just seems like it’s been the same stuff every episode just a different couple people’s emotional breakdown each week.

and yes, from what we've seen it's been 2, maybe 3 days since the start of "The War" in episode one of this season to last nights. For a Season that we were told by the producers was action packed and returning to it's roots...
Would have been better off being somewhere where there was no internet/TV and then return after next week to Binge watch without any spoilers..
I don't think so, he decides not to snitch on Dwight and he's obviously torn about it despite what he tells Father G. I think he does something in the final that either makes a difference in the war, gets him killed or both.
Rick knows who did it. That's why Daryl and him were wrestling around while they let the 50 caliber and a bunch of dynamite blow up.that and Daryl going off the plan which shall provide some good entertainment once Rick finds out who drove the truck through the front door.

Yea, he pretty much knows... At the time he left Daryl to head to visit the GPK's he thought he had knocked some sense into him to "stick to the plan".. won't take him too long realize Daryl was the driver and well..I don't think so, he decides not to snitch on Dwight and he's obviously torn about it despite what he tells Father G.

.. Ratings would have to get a LOT worse for AMC to call an end to the series. The Comics are still going so they will ride the money train for as long as they can.I just read an article today which might pull me back into "Fear" next year after skipping the past 1 1/2...
and with Walking Dead about to jump a couple years into the future also they both might use it as a way to do a "Reboot".

And yeah if it's ~2 years then Morgan can just jump over in real time.
Somehow they lost their vernacular and their interest in anything but garbage sculptures in less that two years after the apocalypse.

Apparently.. well "Fresh" in that they are traveling to Texas and it will pickup a couple of years after the previous season.. I haven't watched Fear since the end of Season one, but a "Reboot" of this nature might pull me into watching the first couple episodes of the new season..It's starting fresh?

So is it every season that they just ram a truck through a fence to let zombies in? The writers to this show suck.

So FTWD is going to be rebooted? Like start over reboot? Same actors? Now in Texas rather than Cali? How does this work?
Oh yeah, that reminds me - moving to Texas (rural) means someplace cheaper to shoot than Southern California. That's the real reason. That's why TWD looks like they are in rural Georgia rather than where they are supposed to really be: the suburbs of DC.Apparently.. well "Fresh" in that they are traveling to Texas and it will pickup a couple of years after the previous season..

One season they had a truck do a complete flip in mid air and land on it's wheels after rolling off a bridge, about 20-30 feet high, completely defying the laws of gravity.
The scary thing is in real life they actually thought by adding weight to the back of the truck it would make the back end drop faster (and thus land on it's wheels). When that didn't work they had to have a crane drop a second truck straight down to finish the shot.
Here is the scene. lol, I could watch that on repeat over and over all day.
Here is the back story. People are trusting their lives to engineers that don't understand that the acceleration due to gravity is constant and what that means!?!?

I missed that episode but damn that's funny. The walkers falling on the van was awesome.

So was this the episode where we see why Eugene turns to the dark side? He looked pretty tore up that they broke the truck in, basically condeming everyone to death. Seems like they'll have him turn on Rick's group for good now.

if you can literally suspend all ability to think, the show is good. It has to be a strong effort, but it the show is salvageable if you just lobotomize yourself. In all honesty, i think zombies are more likely to actually exist rather than these writers telling a good story

Why are you so upset with people who want more from a show they've been watching for years? Why defend a show that seems very obvious is not being written as well as it could be?

Because I'm sick of hearing the whining. And it absolutely cracks me up how many people watch just so they can #####.

It's called being critical. Most people are critical of their favorite things. Just go and look at the team threads on here. You might as well go in each thread and say the same thing to all the fans there too.
If I really thought the show was bad I wouldn't watch but I do like it. I'm still enjoying it but just not as much. I know what the show can be because it's been great before so I expect it to be that way again. I don't want the show to end, I want it to get better.
El Floppo
Footballguy
nobody's said they watch just to complain about it- we've all said ad nauseum that we watch because we're fans and want to see what brought us in and hooked us... but the show has been devolving into drek.
I'm happy for those of you still out there that can somehow enjoy this without wanting/needing to talk about what's gone wrong- good for you. the majority of us can't ignore the crap and will continue to bring it up- hopefully along with anything worthwhile (less and less of that)... at least until we pull the plug and eject from a show that we've all been faithfully watching all these seasons/years.
it's strange to me that you can't handle that. that you have to whine every week when we point out the obvious, glaring problems. hell- I've even stopped with most of the super obvious stuff because I'm sick of you and the couple others complaining so much about it.

I am not going to stop altogether (like I did with FTD) but my watching habits went from watching in real time commercials be damn to more of a monday lunch -wed night fast forward as I do bills or something. I love the premise of TWD but holy hell the writers have crapped the bed with some of these storylines.

I think I should take the opposite of what the whiners are doing. I think I should keep watching the show and quit this thread. I have enough negativity in my life. I watch the show for a reprieve from reality. Not to jump into this thread and complain about something I volunteer to watch each and every week. Sorry for not enjoying your weekly ##### fest.

or you could read it and make counterpoints to what the nattering nabobs are saying.
it comes across that you can't handle hearing the criticism... of a tv show. are you making counterpoints that I'm missing? or just complaining that people are finding fault with it? comes across as the latter, tbh- a bit like an ostrich sticking his head in the sand. but if the criticisms are that upsetting to you... yeesh... yeah- better to do what feels right and avoid. although tbh- I prefer having more people in here for discussion.. especially people who can see past all the glaring crap and point out some good things.

I don't understand how someone could watch a show completely unbiased and not have some criticisms.
I would like to see one person explain to me how this season was actually well written and one of the better seasons of the show. If no one can do it then doesn't that warrant some criticism or should it just be ignored.
I pray no one goes and reads the reviews of any Star Wars movie. Lots of bickering there.

my overall impression of this season is that its about a 6 on a scale of 1-10. I do feel like the story is stuck- just moving too slowly. I guess that's the problem with taking 10 episodes worth of material and stretching it into 18 or 20 shows spread out over a two term "season".
It would have been more interesting to me- if they had kept the 10 episodes of "war" material and then added 8 episodes where you have side stories going on, or backstories,
you could fill an episode or two just on Negan's story. You could do an episode on Father Gabriel butching his congregation. There's lots of angles they could add to the show, rahter than just stretch out the show which seems to be what they've done.
still like it, still don't care if its "stupid" per se,

yeah, why is this wrong? I have higher expectations for the show because I am familiar with the source material, so why is it is a problem to expect the show to be better? It isn't like the arguments here or anywhere else are just arbitrary complaints, they pretty much all are around the same thing. I am not sure why it is a problem to expect the show to be better, when there are simply things that are inexcusable, or are there as a blatant message to viewers (deer from a season or 2 ago, etc.). sure they try some things and they fail, like the Garbage Pail people, and I can't get as upset about that, but they do need to know when the feedback seems to be overwhelmingly that it isn't a good idea, that they cut bait and stop that arc.
I am sure I enjoy the Walking Dead more so then most in here, but that is because of Kirkman's actual work in the comic story. And the TV show just doesn't do it any justice
