But really this is a promotion for Gimple. He's not getting "Darabont-ed." A while back AMC announced they want TWD to be a decades long franchise similar to Star Trek. Gimple is basically becoming the Rodenberry, or a more accurate comparison might be the Ronald Moore of the AMC TWD universe. Season 8 is coming back on Feb. 25.

Mr. Hakujin Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Well, it's happened... S8E9 Carl is gone. And the only person badass enough to kill Carl Grimes is Carl motherfucking Grimes.The entire episode was pretty much one long death scene for Carl. There was the Morgan/Carol/Ezekiel B-story, too. Th episode in general was very well written and damned emotional. They telegraph pretty obviously the rationale for killing off Carl from a story standpoint--it's gonna be the rationale for Rick letting Negan live at the end of AOW.

Mr. Hakujin Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Hello? *echoes* Looks like I'm the only one still watching this weekly, or at least the only one commenting on it. TWD S8E15 Honestly, even though there was a pretty big battle, this still somehow felt like a filler episode. Not nearly enough Jesus & Michonne during that battle. I also felt like Jesus (or someone form Hilltop) should've taken the keys outta the trucks so the Saviors couldn't escape. Dwight also should've murked Simon with that arrow. My guess is Dwight's arrows weren't still tainted, so Tara isn't infected. (It was her he shot, right?) Sadiq is kind of a shit doctor if he didn't see the infection coming on before they turned, no? There must be some heavy ass sleepers in Hilltop. This whole Jadis having Negan is throwing a possibly interesting twist into the plot that wasn't in the comics. Have to see where it goes to know for sure though. My guess is it's just a device to give Jadis a chance to redeem herself to Rick's group and make Jadis a regular character. Carl is gone, Morgan is going, so she could be a new regular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alive she cried Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 (edited) That was the filleriest episode of television I've seen in many a year. You can completely skip that episode and miss nothing. This whole 16 episodes per season thing is really hurting the show. Here's a few general thoughts (Comic Spoilers) Spoiler God, I fucking hate Jadis. A shit, cartoonish character, that's terribly acted. I hope to Christ she doesn't turn out to be Alpha, she needs to die quick. Also, how fucking convenient was it that Jadis just happened to arrive at the exact time to the right location so that she can kidnap Negan? How fucking stupid do you have to be to just leave the front door unlocked fucking hours after being attacked by The Saviours? It's amazing how the Walkers can be/(re)become this huge threat whenever the story needs it. No more than one or two people should have died as a result of that. I have no fucking patience for Carl-lite. Stay in the fucking house child, or just get yourself killed and end it. The show is really starting to try my patience. Hopefully, with Gimple moving up/on the show can get back on track. Edited March 29, 2018 by alive she cried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alive she cried Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 This is what we felt around two seasons from the end. What we felt after the show's finale? The Walking Dead would have to reveal that The Governor was Lori in disguise this whole time (who's still alive, but decided to just go her own way after the prison), and Dale's hat started the whole zombie apocalypse due to being the chosen one, but then is revealed to not be the chosen one, and that Kirkman planned it out this way the whole time, he swears. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Andrew Lincoln Leaving The Walking Dead We’re hearing that, by the end of Season 9 of AMC’s hit drama series The Walking Dead, Rick Grimes himself will be walking away. That’s right TWD enthusiasts, Andrew Lincolnwill be growling his way through the post-apocalyptic setting for just one more season before calling it quits. And while we won’t be spoiling just how the series’ founding character makes his exit, we do know that fans can only expect to see Lincoln in half-a-dozen episodes of the upcoming season. might be time to wrap it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visitant Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Agreed. Quality has been going down, people are getting bored of it. Better to make one kickass season and go out on a high note if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Again, I'd be more surprised than not if TWD wrapped up anytime soon. They paved the way for the series to go beyond the Grimes family with Fear TWD, and they showed this season that the Grimes name does not guarantee you won't die. If Andrew Lincoln is leaving the series then my guess is that doesn't mean the show goes away with him. Maybe... Maggie will take charge or more likely Negan as there were rumors the actress playing Maggie was looking to leave the show soon, too. Speaking of Fear TWD, I'm alomst finished S3 and it's a helluva lot better than I expected it to be. Much better overall than S8 of TWD. Kudos to @Da Cap'n 2099 who I recall sticking with the show as it aired and praising S3 over the horrid S1 & S2. Anyone watching the current S4 of FTWD?

Da Cap'n 2099 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I'm watching and it continues its good streak. Some new characters that I already love and an interesting group of villains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 How's Morgan on S4? He was wearing kinda thin in the back end of TWD S8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n 2099 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 The crossover itself is brilliant and way better than I ever thought it could be. Won't say more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visitant Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Anyone else feel like the series could have been done with the last season finale? I know it was the showrunners goodbye to the show or whatever - but it could have wrapped up right there and saved us this mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
