How is it acceptable since stating the person is dead in the comic will be foreshadowing of the character's death to come on the show? Didn't you mean unacceptable?

I know we can question things too much, but why isn't anybody doing more farming with actual tractors? It would be a whole lot more productive than driving all over looking for crap that has already been picked over. Food would not really be a problem if you lived in a rural area with decent soil. There also would not be very many zombies in a rural area.

Now that Eugene is being taken to the Saviors' compound, I wonder if he will be instrumental in taking them down. If they assign Eugene to making bullets for the Saviors, he could create explosives or something like that to weaken them from within.
It has seemed obvious from the last few episodes that the people from Hilltop, Alexandria, the Kingdom, and the hidden women's camp by the beach would end up all uniting in some fashion to take down the Saviors organization.

The good news is that I don't think he can be doing a subtle spoiler on this one like he has been with other posts in this thread because Daryl did not exist in the comics.

I doubt it was Jesus either, but if he did sign his name that would be begging for someone to come and kill him if one of the Saviors found the note.

Yeah, she will mind game you to death.

As has been proven throughout the series, being passive will eventually get you in trouble or dead.

No. No thanks.

Yeah. I thought the storyline for this latest episode was better than most recent episodes.

I would like to see them seek out a solution such as another CDC or some scientist that is actually working on a cure. Then let the series end in a couple seasons.

That would suck but also would not be surprising. I am curious to see if the fish eating women will fight the Alexandrian's or go for revenge against Negan.

With only two episodes left the next episode should be eventful. From the previews, it appeared the Alexandrian's will likely attack the fish eating women. It would be ideal if they end up uniting with the women rather than killing them and it would make sense because the fish eaters should want revenge against Negan for killing all of their men and boy children. It also would not set a very good tone if the Alexandrian's killed a bunch of children along with the women.

"Coral" walkers.

As despised as he is with many TWD watchers, Carl does deserve some credit for getting the shooting started when Sasha stuns the Saviors as a zombie.

I am sure the serving Negan aspect is very far from their minds after chasing Negan away from Alexandria. Now they will prepare for a war if they want to survive. I suspect they will need to recruit the women from the ocean to have reinforcements.

Yeah, they looked way too casual after that little fight especially knowing that the garbage people are not on their side so their numbers are much smaller than originally planned.

Why doesn't Maggie look pregnant yet?

When you are alive the virus in you is dormant, but if you are bit the active virus gets into your body from the walker's mouth.

Were the commercials more frequent this episode than normal? Thank goodness for fast forward on DVR.
The show is dragging on but at least this episode a couple of recognizable characters died and the settings will be different now that Alexandria has burned.

The picture quality was fine in HD. The show is meant to be watched in HD just like everything else these days.

They need to have a path toward the science of the disease and a finding cure. Hopefully that is what the helicopter is about, but I doubt it based on the writer's tendencies.

Yes. That episode left me wanting to see the next episode much more than most episodes of the last two seasons.

Did you notice that Jadis spoke in normal English after her fellow trash people were killed?

Anybody up for some hamburger today?

Negan must not be very athletic.
I believe it is just an artist error because his hands were in the correct position when he killed Glenn.

She is about to give birth....to a one pound baby.

The least they could do is plump her shirt up a little in the stomach area. It has been at least a couple of seasons since she was first pregnant.

The person that Negan picked up in his car is probably the girl that found out Dwight was on the Hilltop's side. She has been missing since that episode where she escaped the setup ambush by the hilltop. Another possibility is the person picked up by Negan is Gregory, but what would be the point in that? His character has no purpose anymore.

I can't believe it is looking like Negan will still be the bad guy going into next season. They only have two episodes left this season to settle things.
I guess Simon will be the big story for the remainder of this season and possibly Dwight since Negan will learn that he has been working for the other side.

Eugene finally comes through. I thought the season finale episode was pretty good.

Negan's crew was holding them up when Darryl used the rocket launcher to get out of the situation. Also, Negan's side was known to be using other civilizations for their resources so he is much worse than Rick and the Alexandrians who usually only do the harm when it is people that deserve it.

I thought I remembered Jesus telling Rick about how they had to give away goods and food to not get harrassed by the Saviors.
The one thing that was not conveyed well by the Hilltop to Rick was how big the saviors were before he said yes to the offer of food for taking them out.

Yes, but they were starving and had no time to wait for proof. They did what seemed right at the time based on their intuition. Everyone they ran into seemed like a bunch of savages compared with the Hilltop, remembering the wolves and cannibals they had just come across.

I did not really like the way they made Maggie seem a little nuts at the end and have pacifist Jesus pretty much buying in to what she was saying. It seemed out of character for both Jesus and Maggie to some degree. What they should have done is made it a little less sinister and have them talking behind Rick's back about having a little more democracy on the punishment for Negan. Dictatorships only work when the people are forced to do things. In this case there is no reason why Rick should act like a dictator and the people just accept they have no say and do what he says.

I hope next season prisoner Negan is only a small part of the show and they move on to the next adversity/villain and the darn helicopter story.

The actor that portrayed Hershel has passed away:

https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/07/tv-shows/scott-wilson-actor-obit/index.html

I read the a and b is likely people that are infected and not infected for experiments with vaccines.

I think they are referring to bit but not turned yet.

It would not surprise me if the a and b refers to personality traits.

Carol is really pulling off the Legolas look now with the pinned back long light-colored hair and the bow and arrow.

One thing that is probably the dumbest part of the show is how many people sleep out in the open. If suddenly 50% of the population or more was dead, as it appears they portray on the show, then certainly there would be tons of nice houses and beds to sleep in.

In this thread it is against the rules to talk about the comic in general as it relates to what might happen in the tv show.
Most people that watch the show do not know the comics at all.

I can't believe hayzoos died.

Are they intentionally getting rid of all the British actors...Jesus, Maggie (half Scottish), the governor, Morgan (moved him to Fear), and Rick. Are there more?

You may be right, would not be surprised.
I have been watching Man in the High Castle season 3. They have introduced or disclosed numerous gay characters this season. It just seems like TV and film is getting too carried away with including gay story lines in the content the last couple years. It is one thing to have an occasional key character be gay but they are furthering it to the point that it seems very forced and not needed or organic to character and the story to that point in the build-up.

Very slow episode. The next episode will probably go off to a side story dealing with the kingdom or hilltop to slow it down further.

I suspect that a big part of the problem is the unpredictable nature of actors and their wanting to leave or demand more money. It is also based on a comic book so some things likely don't work well in film and the shows writers have gone off on their own tangents from the comic which has also often been because of certain actors wanting out or needing to be forced out. Still, what we are seeing as an end result is often leaving many of us saying such and such could have been done or written so much better or more realistically/believable.

She is not British?

It really is bad writing when every controversy or drama in the show has to be related to somebody doing dumb things. Why can't drama just be because of tough and necessary choices or circumstances that naturally occur?

Also, the whisperers don't seem to be much of a drama. They don't appear to have much in terms of weapons and there is no way that their flock would be loyal when they ditch babies to the hordes whenever convenient.

Enid, Tara, Henry, Brett Butler’s character and a few lesser characters.

I was surprised they did in Enid an Tara and was thinking Ezekiel would get it.

I was just reading that one of the deadheads was one of Negan's wives that had moved to Alexandria. I wonder if Negan will be coming for some revenge eventually.

Here is a question that should have been explained in the show: Why hasn't Alexandria become flush with bullets since Eugene had figured out how to make them? In the present day episodes of Walking Dead it seems like bullets are almost extinct with the exception of a few saved ones here and there.

Give tonight's episode a watch. I thought it is probably one of the better episodes of the last few seasons.

Thread revival. There is some big news on the future of the show:
