This is the only part/scene that REALLY bugged me last night. Otherwise I thought it was the best one of the season so far. You are correct though on your last point, it could have been way better, I think we are far past that stage of hope anymore. They actually could have went a lot of cools ways with the kid/revenge part but in the end it was just a way of letting the prisoners loose.snogger said:The writers insist on making 99% of the kids on this show the dumbest kids that ever walked on the face of the earth... I'll just open this gate and surround myself with 38 enemies, what could possibly go wrong??
Simon.... "Hilltop people have ran before, so there is no way they are hiding in this tall building.. Let's all bunch up and walk right towards the windows!" ..
This from the same guy who last week said "they never scare"
Daryl a couple weeks ago.. "Dwight has changed Tara, we need him".... the last two weeks.. "He needs to DIE!!!"
So much potential for this last episode to be epic but the writers went and "bleeped" on themselves

Can someone explain why some of the prisoners turned into zombies right then....other than as a typically cheap way for the writers to move plot along. Or we're the zombies coming from the back of the prisoner pen somehow hilltoppers who... dunno...burrowed their way in?
I had no idea what was going on in that scene. Does this show not have the budget anymore for a lighting technicians? I rewound that scene twice trying to figure out what was going on BECAUSE I NEED NIGHT VISION GOGGLES TO WATCH THIS SHOW. It's hard enough to follow these battle scenes where all the extras are dressed the same ("Who got killed? Which side was he on? Are we supposed to know him?") but now I can't even see what people look like.Jayrok said:

Person X wants to kill person Y. Person X has had multiple chances at doing so, but has failed/missed/whatever every time. But yet we still get screentime of person X saying "man I want to kill Y more than anything. Now excuse me while I sharpshoot this one dude at 100 paces, yet ignore the fact that I just unloaded an AK47 into the crowd and didn't hit a soul." Yawn.
And enough with the repetitive storylines to eat up screentime. I am sick to death of seeing Clear vs. Conflicted vs. Assassin Morgan. Can't wait to see him leave TWD for Fear. And someone please kill Dwight already, so we can stop with the "he's a savior, no he's with us" dance. His whole character turn was so horribly written. One of Negan's 2nd in command wants to help overthrow the Saviors, yet the only useful information he's given to Rick & Co. is that the Saviors avoid the swamp, so it's safe traveling there for 1/2 an episode.

I had to rewind it too to see who shot whom. My wife said Dwight was shooting at Simon but Simon ducked and it hit Sara, but after the rewind Simon didn't duck out of the way but he was walking up to Tara and was going to kill her (why not shoot her from afar, who knows?!). Dwight shot the crossbow to the side and past Simon to hit Tara. I'm still not sure why Dwight cares about Tara. But it appeared to me that he shot her with the crossbow before Simon got a chance to shoot her with the gun. Confusing and dumb scene, yes.
I guess the whole point of the scene was to show the audience that Daryl saw Dwight shoot Tara, thus the conflict between who's side Dwight is on. At this point, I couldn't care less anymore. First Tara wants Dwight dead and Daryl doesn't. Then the complete opposite.
I wish Morgan would kill Tara and Daryl on his way out west. Thanks. I gave it one shot by rewinding it but didn't want to sit there trying to figure it out. Also, at least on DirecTV, the DVR said it was a two-hour episode, so I was reluctant to rewind anything because I figured I was going to be up late just trying to get through the whole episode. Then after an hour it ended, and it went into some new show called The Terror. I guess AMC tricked everyone into recording the new show by making it seem like Walking Dead was two hours.I had to rewind it too to see who shot whom.

I noticed that too (the 2 hour episode turned out to be them slipping in an hour of the new AMC show). I tried to watch some of the Terror but just couldn't get into it. Will probably skip that one.

Don't know it even matters given the mess the writers have made of this show... but anyone? I'd be happy to hear I just missed where the zombies came from
jhib
Footballguy
Yeah, that confused me, too. On any other show, I'd assume I just missed something that explained it, but not this one. Not to say they didn't show something, but just that I don't assume they did.
My first thought was that they came in through the open door, even though everybody was facing that way, looking at the kid. They might have just done the invisible, silent zombie trick until right before the bite.
I'll take a shot at this. When Maggie was trying to use the prisoners as bargaining chips, Simon said no way and they started firing on Maggie and everyone else. Then she told her people to take the prisoners inside. My guess is some of them were hit with tainted weapons and all of those people (including the injured in infirmary) magically succumbed to their fevers, died and turned simultaneously. The injured prisoners were locked in with the healthy ones and were zombified at the same time as the guy in infirmary. Is that what you're asking?
El Floppo
Footballguy
I guess. They didn't show the prisoners getting hurt though, right? We just have to assume? And iirc, pet cemetary, boy was standing in front of the open gate and the zombies walked up from the back of the pen and not past him through the open gate...
Oh hell...who the #### cares.
They definitely did show people get hit behind Maggie, so while the show sucked, they did at least show how there would have been bit prisoners. I could see them turning at the same time as the infirmary guy. The ninja zombie #### is annoying and the idiots sleeping that don't hear a zombie fall all the way down the stairs.
Aside from the idiot kid, how the hell did the infirmary zombies get in the house? Are we to actually believe the door was wide open and that the zombies somehow decided to come in that one door when no one was moving or making any noise?
Just really tough to watch this show anymore. I want the season over to see if maybe they decide to change things up, but damn it if I don't already think of Igg and Ook and feel like there is no way this show is ever getting good again.
The old lady said she'd give the show another chance now that the annoying kid with the cowboy hat is dead. Big mistake. Here is one I didn't see touched on: When at war and you have a bunch of injured wouldn't you post guards in case some of the injured died so you can take care of them before they turn? And if you didn't for some reason and you woke up in the middle of the night to a bunch of your zombified friends wouldn't that cross you mind? Or maybe someone got bit without telling anyone? Rick and Darryl went from there being no explanation at all to the obvious they must cut with zombie blood tainted weapons.

Michonne: “I saved you this turnip”

That was an odd scene for sure as was the muslim dude reciting a poem to rick.Michonne: “I saved you this turnip”
Yeah, beyond dumb. Also, Carol’s friend should have died. A knife wound to the stomach with that much blood? They don’t have surgical equipment. It was obvious that he’d die. Again, they left the front door wide open too. Why would you ever do that? It’s like they turn off everything that’s happened so far every time they need to do something or try to have a dramatic session with Carol killing a guy we forgot she even dated.

I’ll watch the finale but I’m done with the show. My son doesn’t watch it at all and it’s terrible now. Unless they completely revamp it and I see good things in here, there’s no point in continuing this drivel. It’s just gotten so bad. We laughed about the Daryl and Carol van flip but that seems so minor compared with the 10 even worse things from this week’s episode.

I like how the Hilltop people fight this supposedly huge battle where dozens of the enemy retreat through the gates and immediately afterwards everyone decides to goes into the big house to sleep at the same time without having any lookouts or guards? For all they knew Negan could have been bringing in reinforcements for a second round.
I also like how soundly they sleep while walkers are walking in the front door (how did they open the door?) and falling down steps. These people were REALLY tired!
Finally the situation with the kid was probably the dumbest moment of the entire series. How the heck do you have prisoners penned up in your compound without a guard 24-7 and why does the kid have the key to the pen? They spent a lot of time praising Maggie but if a 10 year old kid can get machine gun and unlock your prison gate without anyone noticing you are pretty much the suck.
The writing of this show was never it's strong point but they sunk to a new low.

Exactly. You would think one guy in that house would be like “I am going to shoot the guy with the five-head.”

They're better as in being more entertaining but the writing is still terrible. They have some really bad ideas.

once you realize that the show is actually a comedy, it's way better.

I think the door to the house was open because there was no A/C. I believe that was the whole point of the Rick pulling boards out of the window scene. He mentioned gas rationing and needing the windows open for airflow.
That being said, ugh. That zombie dude rolling down the steps like that would have had me clinging to the ceiling had I been sleeping there. Yet the whole room, no one even budged. Seriously. That one scene is just so cringe-worthy I can hardly fathom someone putting it on TV. And I really hope that kid is dead. He's to stupid to live. And Morgan, my gawd, just go away. And take your line-repeating aparition with you. It is getting seriously hard to stick with this show.

i am not sure how long this has been going on, but it is funny seeing people involved with what has become a Walking Dead franchise, distance themselves from the TV show. They have a new game coming out, and most of the guys say stuff like "i am so glad to join this product because i am a huge fan of the graphic novel".

if this season was a 1st season i never would have watched the show again...its that bad now....i loved season 1...pulled me in and didnt let go...had some good seasons since...but the further it deviates from the graphic novel the worse it gets ,,,and im a HUGE zombie genre fan ...this season may be my last if they dont get back on track next season...they are seriously shooting themselves in the foot

On the other hand, I am REALLY hoping the Carl kill off means they get a way from graphic novels. Feel it ties the writers hands a bit trying to please those fans. Plus there'd be less accidental spoilers.
Maybe they could tie in Jadis with the helicopter and a bigger community.

the only positive that has come out of this show for the last 3-4 years is when they follow the story in the comic. i honestly think they have all given up on the show, and keep the show going to fulfill whatever contracts they have.On the other hand, I am REALLY hoping the Carl kill off means they get a way from graphic novels.

I can just imagine Kirkman weeping into his pillow every Sunday night when he happens to turn this turd pile of a show on
