What did it mean when they stopped in that field and looked across to the horizon, then said something along the lines of 'that's the biggest we've seen yet'? I even rewound and paused on it to see what they were looking at, but am still none the wiser
There was an enormous herd of walkers, they showed it later in the episode too. Massive anti-climax. Negan lives and will clearly escape with some trusted remaining saviours. No idea what Maggie intends to do but they certainly made it sound sinister. Also, we are all to assume the saviours are all tame now having fought/controlled all of the people they now live along side? Finally, the helicopter and the lot that gave them the book on how to build a community look to still have a large part to play.
Im interested to see what next season brings.

What I used to like about this show (Gave up at Season 6 when quality took a seemingly irreversible nose-dive) is that there was always a satisfying resolution to the antagonists - we had the Governor and the cannibal group come to a great end within a season or season and a half. Now, it seems you have this one antagonist (Negan) who has more than outstayed his welcome, and just keep going on and on...Im interested to see what next season brings.
I haven't watched the past two seasons, but that's the impression I get.

It will be interesting where Season 9 goes....Will there be a divide between Rick & Maggie/Jesus as they want Negan dead? Maggie actually hasn't signed a new contract for Season 9 so anything can happen, there's a possibility she may not even appear in season 9 at the moment!Im interested to see what next season brings.
I think it'll focus on the 'other' group that Jadis knows about for a season or so...!

Would someone care to break the season down to a paragraph? Just for those of us who gave up after the first few A-Team episodes of the season.
Okay, not quite a paragraph... Rick "I'm gonna kill you"
Negan "No I'm going to kill you"
7.65m plot appropriately powerful bullets later...
Coral gets bitten by a walker and spends the next month touring the various sets basically harshing everyone's buzz. Dies
3.25m plot appropriately powerful bullets later...
Michonne "our mum, sorry I mean Coral made me promise on her death bed to tell you it doesn't have to be this way, lets go back to the way it was before Rick decided to kill all your mates in their beds"
Negan "yeah, coz I'm going to trust you again.
ChubbyMullet flip flops sides a few times
Skinny Burnt Christian Bale flip flops sides a few times.
Pidgin Dumpster Diver flip flops, learns English and revels she's got a bedroom in an Ikea showroom
Trevor from GTA gets ideas above his station.
BANG, seems Chubbymullet has finally picked a side and inserted a McGuffin to thankfully bring an end to the stalemate of the infinite bullet via unhitable target puzzle - Negan is killed, then then unkilled by Rick, but not in the usual TWD way.
Total death toll somewhere in the high 90s, to maybe 150, two communities destroyed, 3 more heavily damaged, much pain suffering death and boredom - but hey, you can't put a price on not paying a skinny man with a bat 6 watermelons a fortnight can you?
Maggie (longer gestation period than an Elephant) is so miffed about the unkilling that she plots to get revenge on Rick along with Daryl "the Cavalry" Dixon and Rosita "token Hispanic" Espinosa. setting up series 9 for another drawnout bullet fest of infighting resulting in lots of red shirt deaths and little outcome.

Great review. Well worth the effort.Is it me or does anyone else find it completely implausible, that Jesus, who believes in sparring saviours and everyone can be good agrees that they need to get rid of Rick and Michone? And Daryl, who had just moments earlier spared crusty faces life and let him live, now wants to kill Rick!

Yes, the final scene was complete bobbings - War between allies who’ve been together almost since the end of the world ready to kill over a life sentence v death sentence, come on! Hopefully they’ll come up with a better plot for the next series. Personally I’d like them to push on with the ‘big story’ and potential for the end of the zoms etc.It wasn't the worst episode and I guess they needed to have some kind of twist at the end.
Silly plotline theory: Negan and Maggie get married and take over the entire place after making Rick their personal sex slave.
I miss the old days when any of the big characters were at risk of being killed at any moment.

t actually we need to get together over this new threat’ mid season conundrum. Negan will go on the backburner still as a prisoner unseen for the majority of the season until he pops out because of some dozy bint with slippy hands who drops the keys while handing him some soup or some such other bks. I’ll still watch.

I just saw that as them agreeing they need to assassinate Negan. The sinister nature of the scene was overplayed, I’m sure there would be in group falling outs over all this between the ‘keep him prisoner’ and ‘execute’ camps but the killing each other is a total over read IMO.

I saw it exactly as the others did, they’re unhappy with Rick and are about to declare war on him. I personally think there will be a foiled assassination attempt from Hilltop that leads to some soap opera drama of a will they won’t they take it outside situation, that eventually ends in a ‘oh s

I got around to watching (enduring) season 8. How bad has this show become?
It peaked at Glenn being killed (genuinely shocking) and has gone downhill ever since.
I wonder how long they’ll string it out for (I guess as long as it keeps getting good ratings), but I’m done with it now.
Now Billions, that is brilliant 🤗
