I guess that's possible but I thought a lot of people watched TWD, especially since this board has 53 pages of posts on it. The conversation seems to have dried up but hopefully there will be more to talk about next season. It's just this season tbh. There really wasn't anything interesting to talk about lol.

I don't need any crazy deaths or anything, I just need good episodes and writing. Walking dead has subpar writers for the most part. When I compare it to other upper tier shows like Mr robot, The OA, Westworld, etc.. they have far superior writing. If I ever have to question a persons logic on the show, that's bad writing and walking dead does this all the damn time. Like every episode tbh. They'll hit out of the park on a premier mid season finale or a season finale but everything in between is subpart imo

No. I did not mean i dont like this season bc of deaths. I meant there is nothing to talk about.

I randomly had this thought last night...
Since the assumption is everyone is already infected and we know that people turn right away once they get bitten and or scratched by a walker then how come no one turns when they get the same injury by another human?

I watched and came on here to see if there were any posts about it but found none. I'm glad that someone else watched it too.
I'm completely over Morgan and wish he'd take his stupid stick and walk off into the sunset. His "all life is precious" mantra has gotten old and it's especially hard to listen to when he's such a hypocrite about it. He doesn't mind killing if HE, in his infinite cheesemaker-inspired wisdom, deems that the person deserves to be killed (specifically Richard, the one guy who had the balls to want to finally do something to take out Negan). He also wasted 5 bullets to kill the guy who was about to finish off Carol when a single bullet would have gotten the job done.
I wouldn't be at all upset if Morgan took Eugene with him when he left for good. I know Eugene is an admitted coward who'll do whatever it takes to stay alive but he's gone too far this time.
It bothers me that Rick listened to Gabriel about not killing Negan... that WAS the whole point of their elaborate plan, wasn't it? Gabriel is also a known coward as well as a narc who tried to get Deanna to kick the Grimes Group out of Alexandria but now he's suddenly making policy decisions? It was actually poetic justice that Gabriel found himself left behind and he ended up in the belly of the beast. I'll bet he wished he hadn't stopped Rick now, huh?
As impressive as the Mad Max-style cars and all of the explosions were, why didn't they just put a couple of snipers on top of one of the buildings to take out Negan as soon as he stepped outside? Does Rick really think he can reason with this guy? He has hundreds of people willing to do his bidding but Rick thinks he can change all that with one of his speeches? I don't read the comics so I don't know how this whole Negan things ends up but I'm really needing to see Negan on his knees awaiting justice from his beloved Lucille, with Rosita administering the first blow for Abraham and then Maggie and Rick taking turns for Glenn.
Didn't mean to be so long-winded but it's been a while since I've posted anything about TWD and I had a lot to get out of my system!

I know it's just a TV show but I was actually yelling at my TV last night. What is the point of all this? The "good guys" (for lack of a better phrase) have somehow managed, about 3 years into the zombie apocalypse, to find numerous guns and a seemingly endless supply of compatible ammunition for said guns and they're more than happy to fire hundreds, if not thousands, of rounds randomly, hitting virtually nobody and accomplishing nothing. Is this the master plan? If it is, I'm not following it.
The "all life is precious" guy is the only one who's managed to kill anyone. I know Morgan is only killing because the death of Benjamin re-ignited his own guilt over getting Dwayne killed (his inability to kill his walker wife resulted in her killing Dwayne). He wanted to kill even more people but was told to stand down... WHAT?!
I was happy that Gabriel, who stopped Rick from killing Negan, ended up face-to-face with Negan himself but now Jesus has become the "we're not killers" leader. I found it funny that Jesus implied that Maggie would agree with him about him and Tara not killing that one guy but after Negan killed Abraham and Glenn, Maggie was the first one to get up off her knees and tell the group that they needed to get ready to fight them. I don't think she'll be happy if Jesus (assuming he and the others even make it back) brings home a gaggle of "prisoners". How can any of those people be trusted?
So from what I can tell, while all of this aimless shooting, speech-making, and hostage-taking is going on, Negan is back at his place refortifying his troops to provide "our heroes" with yet another humiliating defeat. If Negan was as smart as he thinks he is (and the writers are showing him to be), he'd dispense with the formalities and just kill everyone who's been opposing him. Of course, that would mean the end of the show so that's not going to happen.
This has been my favorite show for years now and I still love it but I'm really baffled as to what the game plan is. Maybe I just wasn't in the right frame of mind to watch last night's episode but I'm just not seeing the big picture here.

What in the world is the plan here?! Thousands of rounds of ammo fired but very little to show for it. And now ANOTHER baby added to the mix? There's no reason for Judith to be there and now with Maggie allegedly being pregnant and potentially giving birth at some point (I know it's only been a couple weeks in "their" time but it's been over a year for us viewers), how is it even possible that babies can survive in a zombie apocalypse? In Judith's case, they appear to have found an untouched factory that housed disposable diapers and formula but that was in Atlanta so where are they going to get the necessary survival supplies for Gracie and baby Rhee?
As I said in my previous post (obviously posting to myself since there's been no nobody else on this board for a couple weeks), I still love this show but I'm having a hard time hanging in with what's going on right now. I can only hope that there IS a master plan and it will reveal itself in a twist we don't see coming. If that's the case, I really really hope it happens soon because I'm sick to death of Jesus deciding that all these people they set out to kill get to live and be housed and fed at the Hilltop.
Rant over.
Helloooooo, anybody out there? It would be nice to discuss this show with someone else once in a while.

Yea i don't know what the plan is for them having 3 babies potentially in the future. If you follow the comics, Judith actually dies during the battle of the prison. Just be patient the show can't reveal itself in a 4 week span. They need to play out things. The thing i don't get is Carl, Rosita, and Michonne missing in part because he started college, she was just pregnant, and michonne is in Black Panther and Infinity War, so even though Rosita will be fine, i feel like that means Carl and Michonne could end up getting the ax this season.

Thanks for responding, J. Nice to know there IS somebody out there and I'm not just on here amusing myself!
As for the show, I doubt if Carl or Michonne leave the show but I could be wrong about that... wouldn't be the first time.
I realize that everything can't be wrapped up in 3 or 4 episodes but there should at least be a cohesive plan for us viewers to see. So far, all I've seen them do is fire thousands of bullets but make very little impact. Unless their plan is to lull the Saviors into a false sense of superiority, I really can't see the point in all this. I know that Scott Gimple said the first 3 episodes of Season 8 were going to be action-packed and they have been but now I'm worried that the action is going to grind to a halt and we're going to get 3 or 4 of those stand-alone episodes that focus on one character's backstory. If it's Negan's backstory, I'd love to see that one to find out how this moron has managed to get and keep hundreds of people on such a short leash and have them do his bidding.

Here I am posting to myself again!
I'm even more in the dark now than I was last week. I'm still not seeing the plan of action here. Why are both sides so interested in a couple boxes of guns when they each seem to have an unending supply of semi-automatic weapons, handguns, and ammo aplenty for all of said weaponry? Unless there are nuclear weapons in those boxes, I fail to see the significance.
I get that the writers want to really up the ante on this whole David vs. Goliath scenario but are they actually planning to have the hundreds of Saviors brought down by just the few people on the other side who are still left standing? I know it's just a TV show but come on!
One death in last night's episode really got to me (anyone who watched it undoubtedly knows which one I'm talking about). I really hope that Ezekiel sticks to his "I'm not your king" mantra and just starts behaving like a normal person just like the rest of them. He's not that special and his speeches and ridiculous Shakespeare-inspired diction have become tiresome.
If I were a character on the show, there's one place I would always want to be... right behind Carol. She's the toughest and bravest one around and always has a way of getting out of a bad situation. It amazed me that the Saviors fired a hail of bullets at her when she was behind the truck but once she was out in the open, they didn't finish her off. Obviously I'm glad they didn't but it really made no sense for the characters to do that.
I really hope there's more to next week's episode than just another 1,473 rounds of ammo being randomly fired. With any luck, the story will actually advance a little bit.

I think it’s because it’s high artillery weapons which we saw can wipe out a huge amount in a short amount of time. And shivas death was so heart breaking. But it was kinda the circle of him saving her and then returning the favor... I actually like his speeches lol

I'm still trying to figure out why Rosita needed Eugene to make her a bullet but now there seems to be no shortage of ammo for anyone. It's supposed to be about 3 years into the ZA but there's still tons of firepower available throughout the land, not to mention a seemingly endless supply of viable gasoline for the cars that never seem to get a flat tire or need an oil change. I know I'm nitpicking these things but they make a point of showing us viewers how tough things are for the survivors (having to scrounge for even a sip of drinkable water or a morsel of food and they're trudging mile after mile on foot) but then they have weapons, ammo, enough food and medicine to keep everyone nourished and in amazingly good health, a fleet of assorted gassed-up vehicles at the ready, and the tools needed to outfit said vehicles with armor-plating capabilities. I just wish there'd be a little continuity in the situation because I want to focus all my attention on the storyline but these other things keep distracting me. All that said, I'll NEVER give up on this show because I'm hopelessly addicted and eagerly await each episode.
Speaking of which, I saw the description for the November 19th episode and it looks like it might be Negan's backstory (or at least some portion of it). I'm excited for that because I can't figure out how he's managed to gain so much power over so many people when any one of them could easily take him out with a single bullet or a well-placed blow to the head. I'm very anxious to find out how he got that way so I'll gladly accept a lull in the artillery barrage to get some answers on that front.
By the by, J, thanks for taking the time to reply to my posts. It's a lot more fun discussing a show with someone other than myself!! If we don't meet on this board for the rest of the week, hopefully we'll have something to talk about after the next episode. Have a great rest of the day.
