You would have thought stupid Rick would have told everyone what his stupid plan was so that they didn't do something stupid and ruin his stupid plan.
"Hey everyone, here's the plan: While we wait for the Saviours to starve inside the Sanctuary, we won't need to keep an eye on them or anything, so you can all make up the next bit as you go along. It might be a good idea to take loads of prisoners, and then repeatedly tell them that if they carry on misbehaving you'll get cross in a minute, without actually ever getting cross.

"I'm off to get my trousers pinched by some bullies, and then get locked in a box for a few days. Then, when they let me out, I'll kill some of them, and the others will agree to be my friend. Again. And I'll believe them. Again.

"I've already had a fight with Daryll about how st my plan is, and we consequently destroyed the BFG, so that's sorted. If you lot can keep up the bickering between yourselves while I'm in the cooler, that'd be good.

"And could somebody find out from Daryll where exactly the fk he was actually going in that dustcart when he serendipitously ploughed into the speaker truck? I only ask because if he had a plan, I thought, maybe, you know, it might be good to tell somebody what it was?"

Oh, and by the way; we're here to kill Negan, except NOBODY is allowed to kill Negan other than me. After all, he made me wee in my pants, which is a lot worse than bludgeoning my husband to death, or burning my face with an iron whilst shagging my missus, so I've got more of a grudge against him than you lot, and I have proved before how crap I'll be at killing him, becasue he makes me boo.

"And don't forget; when this is over I have no clue what to do next. Can I still be in charge please?"

Glad its not just me, the sound on the whole programme is dreadful even with a decent sound bar.

I really noticed this last night, a lot of it is very mumbled.

It's bloody annoying you turn it up for the talking scenes with nil background noise, next thing its blaring when attack scenes happen.

I tried to watch it, made 5 minutes then the next thing I know fat mullet was leaning over a sink spitting out red wine. I guess I was needing that little nap. I decided to either try again or just to read a summary here, very glad I chose the summary option.

Rick on his own allowed himself to be captured by the trash hobbits last week, his plan it seems was to threaten them, on his own. The put him in cargo box and took his clothes, they tried to kill him by gimp zombie (again) they failed again and he did more threatening whilst 8 had auto rifles trained on him. He then did another deal with the woman from mad max III and said he had the saviours surrounded by walkers and they weren't going anywhere so they can trust him. Honestly, he's got a plan.

Meanwhile.........

Daryl, who clearly hadn't been told the plan and if he had his greasy hair probably blocked it from his ears, decided to kill the saviours by driving a refuse truck into the wall of the compound allowing all the walkers to get in. He did, they did, the saviours went upstairs and shot a few walkers to block the stairs, the walkers couldn't get up the gantry stairs to them. Negan got a bit mad.

Meanwhile.........

Eugene was waffling more bks than usual, he knows about Dwight and wanted to tell Negan, but he didn't. Eugene also seemed to have drunk wine for the first time, he threw up, sad face 1 to camera.

At the end Rick was leading the hobbits to the Saviours to show them what a clever puppy he is. He finds one of his sentries being eaten, he takes his walkie-talkie but can't raise anyone, he climbs up high looks through the lens of a rifle and see the truck in the wall of the building and not a single walker in sight outside. Sad face 2.

After reading the comments on here, and only skimmed past Season 7, watching no more than an hour of that whole season, I have now deleted all of the recordings for Season 8.
As much as I love zombie-related stuff, this now sounds too dire to sit through.

Such a shame, as Season 1 (especially), 3, 4 and 5 were very good and top TV. I have Seasons 1-6 on BR, I think I shall leave it there, never had the urge to add the 7th season to my collection, as I know I shall never watch that again.

So quickly gone from evening do not disturb viewing to background noise. Watched more to laugh at now with such poor writing.

Will let this season ride out but beyond that I suspect am oot!

The way it's going - actors clinging onto the gravy train is one thing but should they be looking to jump off before nobody wants to pick them up for anything else?

Why the fcensoredk does Stupid Rick bother negotiating with the Garbage Pail morons.
Why the fcensoredk are the Garbage Pail morons in the series? Are they kept in place for hardcore comic nerds?

I have found that episodes are a lot better if I download them and watch them at 1.25x normal speed using a laptop.

They don't exist in the comics which makes their inclusion even more baffling.

What this series needs is a Xenomorph infestation followed by a Predator cleaning crew.

I think the camera will pull out and up into the sky and close in on a tiny window where Ed Harris is looking down with a bank of screens behind him logging all the activity that's happened below. Then as he sees Rick knife and decapitate another walker he calls for more extras, a group of very frightened men and women are ushered in. A few try to run but are forced by cattle prod through a door marked "Makeup".
