Another dreadful episode! Pure awful.
The whole Rick fighting an armored walker was done. The way he over powered every and ripped the walkers head off was like a bad Steven Seagal movie scene. Horrible. Also why would the trash crew follow him. He obviously came to them out of weakness.
The entire Kingdom gets killed off, even the tiger, expect Jerry, Carol and The King. smh
Then you have Eugene’s plan to make the Walkers flee. Eugene is now the new Dale. We can all hope he dies, but since the WD sucks my guess is that they redeem him at the end. They wholeheartedly ruined his character.
Then they crash through the gates and let the walkers in. Then we are once again reminded how stupid it is that zombies being so unbelievably weak and easy to kill can take down a society, the US armed forces and even a tiger. Stupid. Only a few Saviors got killed and now Daryl just gave them a present. A way out. These writers have gotten so bad that they are making even Daryl unlikeable. If Daryl does at this point I wouldn’t care that much.
The season is over next week and that is probably when I remove it from the DVR.
As bad as TWD is now. I try to think when was it last good. Season 1 was new and fresh and the zombies were a legit threat. Season 2 got slow, but the end zombie invasion with actual human deaths was pretty good. Season 3 taking of the prison and introducing the best villain of the show - the Gov. Was pretty.
Many people didn’t like season 4 I liked it. Thought the Gov conclusion was fitting.
Season 5 started great with Terminus breakout, but quickly go bad. I believe this was the turning point. Season 6-7 we boring and meaningless and season 8 has made it unredeemable.

Agreed. I've been trying to give the show every opportunity. But last night was just awful. For a show that prides itself on killing any character and surprising the audience it sure has gotten predictable.
What isn't predictable is all our favorite characters took a stupid pill. Daryl's plan makes no sense and is very un-Daryl like. Rick's trip to the trash people was a disaster - until the writers suddenly gave him kung fu skills. Did anyone really think Carl was going to die such a meaningless death? (OK, that was predictable) Michonne is confused more than ever. Didn't they all agree to a plan?
It seems to me you just need to watch episodes 1, 8, 9 and 16 to get the main gist of the entire season. Everything in the middle is unnecessary filler.
Finally, the rumored character cross-over from TWD to FTWD is just an awful idea. It's a stretch for two groups of people that far apart and in two different time periods. But then again FTWD skipped the whole pre-Zombie/societal breakdown idea and just went straight to TWD time.
FYI: the crossover isn’t a rumor. Morgan is going to appear on FTWD. I wonder how they will explain his going coast to coast and back against for a fun time. Poor attempt to pull WD fans to a show they clearly rejected.
Exactly. When TWD hit the small screen it was so good and the storytelling was great. There was always the human antagonist element, but the zombies were a real threat. Somewhere along the line they had to stuff the show with so much fluff it started to go down.
They also promoted Negan as the shows best character that would make us forget about the late Great Governor! Yet Negan is an utter failure. The sooner they kill him the better.
This season was awful:
(1) The constant cringeworthy speeches. Every damn episode one bad speech after another.
(2) Any scene with Chandler Riggs (Carl) is awful. Get that kid some acting lessons.
(3) The constant back and forth in time replay of the assault.
(4) The brutal slow pace of all the fluff scenes in between
(5) The meaningless and implausible killing of Shiva
(6) Bringing back the garbage crew and having the stupid Rick Grimes Kung Fu master scene
(7) Bringing back Morales to only killing him within 5 mins. The guy hasn’t been seen since season 1 and fabs have been asking to see him back. The writers shock fans and bring him back to literally kill him within 5 mins! Smh
(8) Making Eugene the most hated character since Dale. He had a comical appeal to him. He went from coward to a guy with a little courage. Abe kept him alive and he is now buddies with the guy that bashed his head in. Poor choice for the writers to take his path.
(9) The obvious bad choice of Jesus keeping the Saviors, esp the A-hole one alive and feeding them when food is low.
(10) Maggie saving Gregory when he should be walker meat. How many chance does he get.
One more episode and I might be done!
Sorry ChrisL but I can rant if I choose! [emoji12]
