I still can't get over how a rotting dead body has enough muscle power and tooth strength to bite through clothes.
we don't know it's rotting though do we?we are applying real life logic about a fictional virus that no-one even in TWD world knows how it works.
The Zs could still have some metabolism, there must be some cellular level processes still working for nerves and muscles to work at all. So potentially the only rotting is caused by damage to the body caused by the Zs walking into things/being attacked by people and possibly by other Zs moving in swarms.

we've had this ages ago, Alpinestars one piece, helmet, sorted. If you can slide along the deck at 70mph without it coming to pieces zombies aint gonna get in.

Simple exposure to the elements would do serious damage to a cadaver over a couple of years, even if normal decay/decomposition wasn't kicking in..we are applying real life logic about a fictional virus that no-one even in TWD world knows how it works.

They've got the finish in the can already for when the network pulls it.
If that happens I'll need to buy a new TV because the cat is going through the current one.On a related note, with all the adverts for Red Nose Day I hadn't spotted until now that Rick is the one with signs from Love Actually that's obsessed with Keira Knightley, rightly so to my eyes, but now I'll always see him a little differently.
You obviously never watched 'This Life' then? To me he's always Egg.

Was that Daryl at the end (he got there quick) or was it Dwight with Daryl's crossbow?
Interesting. Didn't think of Dwight!Good call.
Apparently the writers are planning to drag this out for 20 years!

Wow! Does that mean 10 more years of Negan build up until Rick triumphs?

At it's core, The Walking Dead is a post-apocalyptic drama - there has always been a audience for that sort of thing.
If they want it to still be around in 2030 though they'd need to be brave - I don't personally think there's more than another series or two of the Adventures of Rick's Crew, or Alexandria - the writers have been fairly brave up to now with killing off characters - only Rick, Coral, Carol and Daryl survive from the first series (and Morgan, but he's more a technically being he left for so long), but it’s still the same story really.
Viewing figure peaked at Series 5, plateaued and been in slow decline ever since, which is normal for a TV series – what if say Negan kills everyone next week, maybe leave a single mid-pack character to stumble off and find a new crew – it might hurt ratings for next series opener, but done well it resets the clock, changes the dynamic. Maybe go one further – Negan kills everyone – Alexandria burns. Flash back to Rich meeting some long-forgotten character in series 1 or 2, another Morgan perhaps – cut back to them back in that time-frame – follow their trials and tribulations for a series or two before they too come up against Negan – but they kill him. If I was in charge of it, I’d want to do that – go for short-term loss for long term gain, but they won’t – they’ll flog it for all it’s worth until it’s dead, they might try a rushed ill thought through new avenue far too late, but it won’t work.

Didn't they do this (to a point) with Fear The Walking Dead? If anything, that is even worse with not one likable character who all do things that are the polar opposite of what non-scripted people would do in the real world..At it's core, The Walking Dead is a post-apocalyptic drama - there has always been a audience for that sort of thing.

thing is, the series is fairly closely following the comic book series so unlikely they are to make any dramatic changes unless the comic does, there is foreshadowing to some key events in the tv show also so i am expecting the same kind of stuff to happen.
The show does need to pick it up a bit as the pace for this half of series 7 has been painfully slow, viewing figures suggest people are starting to drift also....

What'll no doubt happen is that it will meander on for several seasons, ratings will drop enough to force cancellation & the whole mess will be totally unresolved or at best resolved hastily, like Boardwalk Empire.
