Arpy 4,145 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I remember back in 2010 I jumped on this show and the first few seasons were great, not the best television drama, but it had good moments of horror, tension, tone and pacing. Fastforward to 2017 and the show really feels as if it should've ended two seasons ago. It reached a peak and it can't seem to come down from it and has instead flatlined. It's disappointing, but it's one of the problems of a show that's still open-ended with no real endgame in sight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,333 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Yes, it's less serious and it takes more of a B-movie approach. It's trashy but at least there's some variation in the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wojo 2,453 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 While it's still a shit show -- the first episode back from the mid-season break takes the entire duration for a longtime but polarizing character to succumb -- I do think that in the second episode back, Negan becomes the most likeable he's been for his entire presence. His final sentence to Rick is absolute truth. And it's pretty awesome what happens to Jadis when Rick learns her style was just an act. Almost felt bad for her. Until we see the most incredible method of eliminating Walkers ever. Then it becomes worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeping Strings 2,358 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Jesus ... if that's their idea of 'all-out war', I'd hate to see peace. i'm shouting at the TV 'KILL THE BASTARD, RICK! CAVE HIS FUCKING HEAD IN WITH LUCILLE, IT'S ALL HE DESERVES!' But no, instead Negan will be locked up and forced to watch the community rebuild. Ooh, how FIENDISH . Still, maybe the newly-incoming showrunner will give the show the kick up the ass that it's sorely needed for at least a couple of seasons now.

Wojo 2,453 Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Thing is, locking up a captured Negan after the war is straight out of the comics. It just doesn't jive with motivations of the group. Rick could slaughter a squad of escaping Saviors after they help him, but he can't exact justice on Negan. That slaughter was the moment I stopped supporting Rick.

Arpy 4,145 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 All the whinging and whining over the finale of S8 was silly. It had been a thread running throughout that season (and the last few actually) that Rick would acknowledge the fact that he had become the thing he had fought against - parallels with Shane, The Governor, and especially Negan. Carl's exit and his arc for the last two seasons had been all about trying to find peace between the parties and to show Rick that if there is to be a peaceful future it won't come with the endless cycle of killing and revenge. I thought it was interesting how the more inhuman and cruel Shane became in the first season, the less hair he had, and these last seasons had Rick become this grizzled figure full of hair the more cruel and unforgiving he became. Should Rick have killed Negan? No. Will it come back to haunt him? Definitely and the series had obviously been setup that way. Why must we always expect finality and closure in the killing of a villain? It would've gone against everything the show has been ragging on about if they simply killed Negan!

A24 4,333 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 You've been listening to Carl too much, Arpy. The bottom line is, he's too dangerous to be kept alive. You'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 2,835 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 So three episodes into the new season and it’s been a marked improvement so far over the last few. Can’t believe it took them this long to get rid of Scott Gimple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,687 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I stopped watching just after Negan was introduced. Thought he was about as much of a stock character as was possible.

I might binge watch during the mid-season break and follow in the winter. I might not. This is coming from someone who also stopped watching BCS.

Sweeping Strings 2,358 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I'd agree that the first 3 episodes of Season 9 have seen a distinct upturn in the show (even the opening credits seem invigorated; the new sequence is probably the biggest nod yet to the show's graphic-novel origins). Just hoping that the soon-to-come exits of Rick and Maggie won't mean a return to inertia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick1Ø66 4,714 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I really don't get the rave reviews Walking Dead is getting this season. I find it's becoming tedious and pedestrian. I know everyone hated the last couple seasons, and they're certainly not the best. But this is the first time I've seriously considered ditching the show. I really don't see under what circumstances this show could get better at this point, and there's way too much good scripted TV out there that I can't keep up with to stick with this.
