The Walking Dead Season 8
Discussion
k is going on any more then. Pointless infinite-ammo gun battles between who-cares and who-knows and all these years and people are still unable to deal with shambling braindead zombies? Gawd. It's like Lost, only worse.Prohibiting said:

Very true. Rick's group spent something like 2 seasons at Alexandria before encountering the Saviors. And supposedly Alexandria's existed from the early days.If it were me I would completely relocate!
So how come they didn't encounter the Saviors earlier? It seems there's at least 3 franchises within an hours travel.
This is sort of becoming a LOST isn't it. Amazing first series, then season after season of crap, fillers and forced suspense. I felt like smashing the TV in when that show finished. I was angry for days.
I genuinely think if I had this on netflix I'd have stopped watching it seasons ago. But because its once a week it just sort of is used as background noise.
It's turned from really enjoying it to now looking forward to see how bad its got.
I'll give it an episode or so more but I actually think I'm done with it.

Having been an avid Walking Dead fan since the beginning I think I might give this series a miss. I tried so hard to stick with it over the last couple of series but I end up getting cross with myself for keeping wasting my time. Anyway, I don't want to turn this into a bashing thread so I hope they end up back on track whether I watch or not.
I'm sorry to say I was right, what a crock this series has been so far. I'll probably keep watching for now "just in case" but it wouldn't bother me in the slightest if they cancelled it mid season. Prohibiting said:

I've thought that since the first time we saw the Saviours - they've roamed for miles and miles since the first series (forgetting for a moment they seem to visit the same freeway overpass every other episode). If it were me I would completely relocate!
It sounds a bit defeatist, but why lose a third of more of your numbers to fight for a collection of houses with a wall around it, when walkers have become such a non-thread these days.
Still, I know the answer, it's because Georgia sponsor the programme so the scenery can't change and they'd rather not build more sets.
I'm still angry at the state of it now.
I’d love to see it brought back to the city, but that won’t happen. Even the simplier story line of the prison between the one enemy group lead by the General in series 3/4(?) was good.
Damn, it’s just got so bad. Too many unnecessary groups, different plots all shambled together which makes it so confusing for us to follow etc. What happened to that all-female group that lived at a scrap yard with the weird leader woman for example?
Where has Negan suddenly disappeared to? I thought he was trapped in that cargo shipping container?

They've done a GoT as far as I'm concerned. Travel is now at the speed of plot.Prohibiting said:

I think they need to burn down Alexandria, Hilltop and all the Saviors franchises and hit the road. Taking away walls/compounds would mean walkers present more of a threat. As it is now, walkers are only a threat if the writers need a convenient distraction (such as if they want a group of prisoners to make a run for it

Don't worry, Negan will emerge from the container, knife a few walkers and make his way to another Savior base. Rubbish dump wombles will turn up out of the blue when Negan needs them.Where has Negan suddenly disappeared to? I thought he was trapped in that cargo shipping container?
As much as I have defended the show, it has become dire and boring. No character development, no storyline, just a wild west shootout.
Ratings have plummeted also pulling in 'just' 8 million viewers in the US... when they were pulling in around 14m in Series 5, would seem to suggest that people are now starting to desert the show.
The series sadly has become a cash cow - they could probably still afford another two series even if the audience fell to 2m. Is it too late to save it? Probably.

The last episode was "the lowest rated episode in the series history".

Pretty damming.http://www.denofgeek.com/us/tv/the-walking-dead/26...
They seem happy for it to decline from it's 'must see' status to a CSI style franchise they can spin off, change characters every few years and rinse and repeat story-lines.
