Re: The Walking Dead (Season 8)

This shows been done for a while now. I think the public in general aren't as keen on this show as they used to be. It's become old hat.

Its not going away tho, I just read that there will be at least 4 more seasons.
Also as you can see below it is still the highest rated AMC show by far. No way they will cancel it.

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 8)

I'm not sure how I feel about the big twist at the end

Spoiler

It's weird that Rick and Michonne wants everyone to live in peace but now Maggie, Darryl and Jesus (of all people? it would have been better if it was Rostia since her and Maggie would be on the same page about Negan) want to go to war with the people who want peace? People who are their friends and would never want to go against them?

I feel like Gimple and saw the success of Captain America: Civil War and was like "we can do that too". Just swap out Captain American and Iron Man for Rick and Darryl. I wonder if TWD will be merging with Fear TWD next for an Infinity War type of story-line.

Anyway, I'm glad that the "All Out War" is over and we can move on to something else. This Civil War is something new and something that I didn't see coming so at least that's refreshing.

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 8)

Didn't watch, but from reading y'all's comments it sounds like the writers were grasping at straws a bit for shock value. Instead of killing a main character, have them at odds, I guess.

I was wondering what in the world was going on, Negan needed to die for all he's done, hell for smashing their friends heads in alone he needed to die. I can understand Maggie wanting him dead so bad after seeing the man she loved brutally killed by him and I can understand Daryl willing to go the extra mile to kill him as he was captured by him and it messed with his head. Jesus was the real surprise here, he's been anti kill the whole time so him going along with Maggie and Daryl was really off. I still enjoyed the episode and still sticking with the show but they have been doing some stupid things.

For anybody who's read the comics.......about last nights Episode

Spoiler

was looking at Talking Dead and they said Rick let Negan live in the comics, still think he needed to die but how did Rick come to that in the comics and how did Maggie react in the comics? Did Maggie and Rick in the comics also have a conflic

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 8)

Spoiler

Maggie going to war with Rick makes no sense. Maybe the fact that she's 27 months pregnant and still not showing is messing with her head. I'm holding out hope that her saying "we're going to bide our time then show them" means something a bit less drastic than civil war. Though at this point TWD is a show I have on while doing other stuff, so I'm not too bothered either way.

Re: The Walking Dead (Season 8)

So what drives the show in season 9 and onward? This feud won't be on the front burner, so is it more communities? The helicopter? Actual zombies?

Andrew Lincoln confirms season 9 will be his last.

I didn't watch last season after the premiere, but I might have to check out season 9 to see how he rides off.

I am hoping Neegan becomes the center of the show after Lincoln leaves

I heard or read that Daryl would take over Ricks spot, think they gave Norman more money.
