So it was Negan and a room full of top generals who stepped into that balcony and could have all easily have been shot? Only makes that whole scene from earlier in the season even stupider. I could easily hit someone at that distance from the hip with an AR15 let alone taking aim like they all could have.

Any episode without Ezekiel is aces in my book.

I know it’s not popular but I still say Gregory is a great character he’s not a tough guy but he can scheme and backstab with the best of them. He’s a lot more interesting than the trash people.

Absolutely... The show would be dull without him at the present. IMO he rescued the season last episode.
Admittedly he has a fascination with male genitals.... but that's his style.

Everyone got their pants yet?

Best part was Rosita and the RPG. KABOOM.

Morgan is crossing over to fear... Hopefully he will make that show better.

FTWD.....needs a whole new cast.....so now Rick is a prisoner?

Sometimes I wish we were still at the barn.

Cause he "talks too much". Yes, he does.

I don't know why I'm even watching TWD anymore. This is like 3 episodes worth of content stretched into a whole season.

As soon as he came on the screen last night I fast forwarded until he was gone. I'm done with him and hoping they wrap the entire series up soon. Unfortunately they will probably not ever have any closure as to what happened or if there is a cure or something. We will probably have to wait until FTWD comes to an end in five years to have any closure if then.

So what was everyone's favorite season here?

Season 1-2 basically.

Like anything it started strong then starts to lose it.

Here is my summary of the seasons.

1 - Great overall but I thought the CDC ending was a bit weak.

2 - Farm was good. Search for Sophia a bit dragged out with Daryl's search until you saw why they did this in the end. Also strong because you saw the loss of major characters like Shane and Dale so you know the show could go anywhere.

3 - Prison / Governor was pretty good. Coral killing his mom was strong but Rick losing his mind that bad and getting trusted again is weak. We get Michone in the beginning and lose Andrea in the end (good trade).

4 - Prison - Flu / Governor gets a tank / Welcome to Terminus - Eh. This whole season seemed more for character development with the small separated groups. But look at the flowers Lizzy was extremely memorable and showed us how hard Carol could be.

5 - Terminus, Gabriel, Corrupt Hospital, Alexandria - Eh, sliding quick. Terminus never seemed developed before it was over. Gabriel's church, eh. Hospital was not a great thread (and we lost Beth), the Alexandria with unstable Rick killing the guy as Morgan appeared seemed forced.

6 - Alexandria / Wolves and Hilltop / Savior Outpost - Bit better and getting promising. We didn't know where this was heading.

7 - Meet Negan bashing heads started strong, but by the time we got to Ezekial and the Kingdom it was going down again.

Nice summary. I pretty much agree with all of it.

I think Season 4 was my favorite. I like how they did a background story on The Governor rising to power again. I thought it was really cool when he rolled up on the prison with a tank. "I have a tank Rick...whats left to discuss?"

And a years worth of commercials.

Season 4 had 16 episodes. 5 were devoted to the flu hitting the prison. 3 to the Governor and 8 to the smaller groups before heading to terminus.

So only 3 Episodes had (what I felt was) and iffy governor's rise to power again. He comes to a group of mostly good people, takes over and convinces them to go kill a bunch of others? While nowhere near the worst of some of the story arcs it was more a way to get them out of the prison.

Then after the prison is destroyed, Governor and Hershel dead it was a bunch of 8 weekly smaller stories.
Coral, Michonne and Rick walk on train tracks,
Daryl & Beth get drunk and burn a cabin,
Carol shoots Lizzy,
Maggie misses Glen and walks on train tracks,
Glen Misses Maggie as he walks on train tracks,
Rick bites a guys throat out so let's all go to terminus and get some real food. End Season.

Half of the season were those fractured stories. Some pretty good. But having 6 cliff hangers at the same time is annoying.

IMO Terminus was rushed through too quickly and Negan is being drawn out too long with un-interesting sub groups like trash dump and beach women compound.

I love Negan I wish the show would have done a whole season of him becoming Negan such as starting with or before the outbreak, that would be great.

I just don't understand where all this ammo is coming from. Isn't this the same world where everyone was in complete awe because Eugene had figured out how to make a single bullet?

It would be better if the battles were more cave man (crossbow, ax, Molotov Cocktail and a few bullets here and there)

Really good point. And I agree. It would probably also require more clever/nuanced writing.

Plus it would make the baseball catchers chest pads more important, as it is now it’s just pointless.

That would have made for a good spinoff... The story of Negan at an accelerated pace (instead of FTWD), then both series collide into that first meeting with Negan.

I really agree that the use of guns is just overblown. I think it was in S2 when they showed the shots (ending with the one to kill Shane) drawing in walkers from all over. Now they're drawn to gun fire when convenient, but otherwise it doesn't cause too much trouble. The writers have taken way too many liberties. I'm patient, but not infinitely so.

why can’t the sanctuary clear the yard like Rick’s group did with the prison? It doesn’t seem like a Mega hoard like from the quarry.

So the gargage people make cool wire craft sculptures while nude in a junkyard during apocalypse. Hope they are up to date on tetanus shots!

Snipers

Here's to hoping they turn it into a 20+ year running Zombie Soap Opera that runs during the noon to 1pm time slot on NBC with advertisements for personal injury lawyers and prescription medications with warning lists that run longer than the commercial itself.

Disillusioned with Rick's gang. I'm Neegan.

NO COMIC BOOK TALK. Read the title of the thread. We've had this argument too many times.

Not sure what underlord wrote, but people can still mention the comic book, just not share spoilers.

Cool, I'll bump the other thread, so people have a place to post and don't mistakenly add spoilers to this one.

No spoilers mentioned Taxman. I mentioned a passing conversation Rick had with Carl in the show after Carl lost his eye.

Don’t make sense unless they all went inside the building?

The show is getting more far fetched as it goes along especially Rick and the trash lady.

I don’t know why Dwight doesn’t just kill Eugene (aside from the show needs Eugene) but if my life depended on Eugene not telling Negan I would kill Eugene.

He should have just pushed Eugene over the edge into the walkers when he was flying his plane. Done.

I think it's because, despite what he may have done in the past, Dwight is actually a good person.

I did like Eugene’s speach to Gabriel, and think he’ll have some sort of redemption before it’s all over.

Yeah, that definitely seemed to be setting the stage for a heroic end for Eugene.

Agreed. Remember, they showed the motive of his actions to be the survival of his wife (and himself).

Kind of looked like they drove something out the door to the left of where Daryl drove the truck into the building.

Probably a Zamboni.

Rick is gonna be seriously pissed off at Daryl for screwing up his plan!

I think Eugene's desperation was well played. He conned Abraham for protection until his story fell apart, now after being captured he's ready to throw out Rick 'et al' as only "traveling companions", and his panties are now in a wad as the Sanctuary is falling down. His mind is reeling to decide where to turn to now for safety. Left alone, he's pretty helpless.

Maybe he turns to the garbage Pail Kids. Next week Eugene sits naked making wire sculptures of Elvis.

I think it's cause Dwight wants to live. Yes, he's not completely cold blooded.
Like taking Daryl's bike for he and his wife. He spared Daryl's life. (but still took the bike for himself)
But he sure put a bolt into Denise's head....

yeah (resized).png

As crazy as this has been, maybe Eugene's plane survived and arose to draw the dead away after all...

I don't have a problem with the far "fetchedness"--it's about zombies after all! I hate what I call the "Three's Company" story lines. Where something just has to go wrong in some whacky way every time. A comedy of errors.

Just let them kill Negan and move the story along. An entire season of the "war" is too much.
