just watched it, I actually got up and started doing some housework during it. It was literally so dark onscreen I couldn't see what was going on and lost interest. The fact that the speech volume was so low didn't exactly help me get immersed either.
I'm glad you said that, I'm not kidding, I made an opticians appointment this morning based on the fact I couldn't see half of it.

I must have shouted at the screen at least 10 times "Turn the chuffing lights on".

Don't you have to say "Alexa" first?

Daryl to Stupid Rick in the tunnel - "You are the one who saved us"
Except the countless dozens that have died due to the stupid decisions of Stupid Rick.

Questions: Why didn't Morgan shoot the saviours when he saw them at the windows shooting the walkers and has Judith had a sudden growth spurt?

Observation: Not everyone seems to die within 5 minutes of being bitten, sometimes they can run around for days doing menial tasks and gazing at the sun.

The ending: Has one of the gang finally understood Stupid Rick's stupidity, shot him in the stomach and left him to die next to a tree?


Ps. Why am I still watching it, morbid curiosity, or just to see how more batst crazy the writers can make it and get away with before they are found out and marched out of the building?

I'm normally pretty easy going about it and just watch it but I found myself very very bored, so much so that I fast forwarded through the end.

I also skipped a few bits that were really dull. Just be dead and get on with doing something useful like everyone else.

It’s completely disappeared up it’s own arse.

Painful amd more flashbackwards and forwards bks to look forward to to find out what happened to Rick.

I have to admit, I stopped watching after the first few of this season turned into the A-team. I just visit here now to keep up with the story.

Doesn't look like I've missed anything!

I stopped watching around a year back; pure drivel these days. I read the comics on and off (wait six months, binge, rinse repeat) and those are still OK, but the TV side of things?

Abject pants.

yes

It had so much potential too.

3 series of 10 episodes of post zombie apocalyptic mayhem. Then if they wanted to do more they could do another 2 or 3 with a different collection of survivors in another part of the country with different results.

The trouble with comic book stories is that they go on, and on, and on, and on...

Agreed. Glen was a real loss and it was both great and shocking TV when he was killed. Coral has never really been a good character.
Glen should have died when he was trapped on top of the wheelie bin with that other mope. His miraculous survival was when I began to lose interest in TWD.

As for Coral, they even managed to make the death of one of the most annoying characters a boring anti-climax.

Frankly, I'd like to see everyone except Daryl and Carol killed off. Maybe the helicopter from earlier in the series could come back and napalm them all.

I suspect a lot of people were annoyed by that. It was so bloody obvious, why bother?

I'm lost. Watched it with the brightness and contrast maxxed out, still a crap picture.

What's with all the dream sequences?. Negan being all green fingered and nice?.

Also, Corals death. Earlier we had stiffs turning into zombies during a 10 min firefight at the Sanctuary, yet coral manages to make us suffer for the length of an entire episode. Stop with the close up of Ricks eyes, it's getting boring. I think I watched 25% and fast forwarded the rest.

It was okay. At least Carl is fully dead straight away, shame we'll get episodes of mopey Rick for a while though.

Editing error: Judith was looking at Carl as he said bye and the audio went to her scream crying but she was just looking at him cutely on the screen still. That sort of thing pisses me off in something so high budget.

The Negan dream sequence was Carl's dreams for the future, where they settle their differences and no one has to be a tyrannical monster in an apocalyptic landscape, they live peacefully.

Still not sure/convinced that all the saviours did actually leave Alexandria. You'd surely leave a couple behind to watch just in case and report back.

He wasn't killed though and that is the difference, the infection has to kill him first and then he turns.

Enjoyed tonight's episode.

Apart from the usual "really?" moment when Michonne goes to put out a fire on that pagoda.... a decent episode. Saw the more human side to Negan when told of Carl's death and told Rick what an idiot he was and that his decisions caused Carl's death. Can't argue with that.

Will Carl's utopian dream of everybody living happily ever after actually come true? wink

Definitely better than all of the last episodes of this season - seemed to get on with the story rather than just random shooting and fighting - and some rather gruesome deaths in the junkyard!
