The Walking Dead (no comics spoilers)

I am with you, jmo here but I think this show after last year verbal beating from the fans tied to make the first few shows of the season super action pact that they kinda got ahead of themselves. I am not impressed with the season, a few of my friends and co works agree that the whole "edge of our seat" and "can't wait for Sunday night" is gone. Still love the show but the whole "xmas morning" feeling has rubbed off on me. I watch every week and talk about it but man it has worn off on me......

 

I actually thought the episode as a whole was better overall, and was finding myself a little more drawn in than I have been for a long time. But the "shocker" at the end felt really anti-climactic to me. I know it's a "major" character, but the character really hasn't ever really felt that important to the show to me, despite who they are/were.

 

I felt more for Rick losing a Son than anything,

 

Crazy plot devices not withstanding.

Did they really just ram a truck in there and split not staying to see if it worked or not?
How did they get the Herd led away as well?
The snipers were slaughtered? How? Where did Morgan go after the "new" plan?
We just drive right into a trap and stay in our cars while we get trapped?

When did he get bitten (underneath his shirt no less)?

 

I’m guessing the bite happened when Sadiq and Carl were killing walkers in the woods. That would explain his willingness to die when Negan showed up at Alexandria. It would also explain why carl was staggering around looking dazed nbefore we see him in the sewer.

 

These will all be answered after about 4-5 episodes........

 

They said on the talking dead to go back a few episodes it is clear when Carl was bite but nobody noticed. Very interesting since in this day and age you can't get anything by people, ya know?

 

Oh I get that, but he's got a bite hidden under layers of clothing (again)...

It's the old sneaky bite thing they do!

 

I thought him getting out of that was weird. I’ve tried watching Talking dead, but generally lose interest after a few minutes. It was probably a split second shot that only people with eagle eyes and OCD would ever catch.

 

I like the talking dead there is a lot of stupid stuff but they do give you insight to things you might have missed.

 

With medication

 

Or maybe he will crawl under a dumpster and all will be good........

 

Umm, WHAT!?!?

Terrible storytelling. I really think someone is treating this as a film project and trying crazy editing to get a better grade...

 

Yup, and he did/used the same line he used when he did it to Sadiq.... "I shot over her head!" SMH, it feels like there's a trope dart board with peoples lines written on it in the writers room!

The Snipers...you had one job! Let's sit here and talk about it and then get taken out....

 

The fact that there is only 3 post(now 4) since December 16th tells a tale how far this show has fallen. I watch every week and each time me and the boy(the wife don't watch anymore) look at each other at the end and say man this show sucks.

On a side note I think Maggie just set a record for the longest pregnancy.

 

Without showing!

 

It is very sad we all use to be super pumped up now it is just like going through the motions......

 

Yep.....pretty much this. We're almost just watching it anymore just because we're not really watching anything else right now.

 

That's insane the Daryll storyline was at least a week of torture in itself, and they even showed a time jump for the first pick-up from Alexandria that was a week early when they took him.

Add in the travel time and the plot to grab more guns after the first gun grab and work things out with the Trash People, getting the guns from Seaside, working out an agreement with the 3 groups they know.

Not buying that at all.
