    A bit of a letdown considering it was episode 100, I agree - it seems they put more effort into the 2-hour Talking Dead afterwards lol.



    The S8 premiere wasn't too bad, I really, really, really, really, really like the new ruthless Rick Grimes. We've seen parts of this side of him before, but he's full blown soldier survival mode now with everybody he doesn't know being an enemy.



    You had to enjoy the group taking out all the lookouts and what not, and for them to straight up roll into the sanctuary, open fire and set off explosions - damn! So really though, if they randomly started firing at the ~5 leaders there during the countdown, how in the world did they miss all of em?



    Oh and there were 2 burials shown...one for Sasha...who else did I miss die in the S7 finale?



    I took that as glen and abraham and getting revenge

     

    Ah, that makes sense.



     
  • These first 3 episodes have been awful. I'm hoping it gets better, since I've invested so much time into this show... but I am not sure I will make it to the end of the season if things keep going this way.



    There has been absolutely no story... just running around and shooting at each other. And the attempts at "artsy" editing are awful. And the shakespeare dreadlocks guy needs to drop the schtick, its dumb.

    How dare you insult the King.  

    Silly as it may be, he has created his own little reality and it is what "has gotten them through everything."

    These episodes have been just shoot outs and really flying by what is supposed to be a war, or at least it feels like a rushed one sided war. Hopefully things improve with the storytelling.

    I'm one episode behind right now, and it's been a bummer, to say the least. I feel like each season is starting to drag out the storyline further and further. I felt like this during the prison. It was way too long!

     
  • It has been a bit of a bummer, kind of "loose" feeling - hard to keep track of the different places they are ambushing etc. The few people Rick's group lost have had no emotional value yet to the audience, and same with the saviors, so I think they're kind of spinning their wheels.



    Jesus...you have got to be kidding me - another freaking ethical dilemma, and then what happened with him and Morgan last night was flat out silly. At least kill that long haired savior!
  • I like these episodes as far as whats going on and the war. I just wish theyd film it different. The episodes have my attention and each sunday night when i go home its the first thing i want to watch on the dvr but man i dont like weird flash forwards etc. feels like a couple of the episodes are all over the place. Imo the directors are doing it on purpose to make the war feel more chaotic and fill time. Im sure theres some artsy fartsy design there but i like objectives and accomplishing them. Finally though it seems we get back on track now that the initial raids are over.



    Daryl killed minkus though. Boy meets world walking dead canon confirmed.  



    and i really hate the jesus storyline this season. I understand workers living, but these are soldiers. Asshole soldiers that want to kill you. I dont get jesus going into the compound and shooting everyone before they even know it then a person surrenders and hes all changed? Then that person tricks him, tries to kill him and he still feels this way? I dont get how you can just raid and kill, but then be 100 percent against killing them because they got trapped and surrendered?

    Yeah, the Jesus storyline is driving me nuts. I don't understand why he all of a sudden flipped and wants to keep these guys alive. It makes no sense, when Rick and the rest know what is really at stake. Not sure if it's just to add more filler, but I'm not understanding it, at all.

    you effin book snob. BURN THE BOOKS





    The TV show is worn out, old, and no fucking good anymore.



    Like a certain former NFL quarterback.



    These 8 season could be condensed down to 3.

    I so want this show to end so I can stop watching it.

    If you dont enjoy watching it, then stop watching it. Still a fun show for me. ITs DVRd and when its on i watch it. I dont want it to end. Its something else to watch. If you are that miserable Ill never understand why people keep watching. I agree some of it is getting stretched out, but thats not always a bad thing.





    and no the 8 seasons couldnt be condensed to 3. Probably around 6 , but not 3. You just forget all the shit that has happened. Probably a season or 2 of side story that probably could be cut out. But some of it is good. Like the morgan clear episode was entirely not necessary. But it was one of the best episodes of the show.

    If this show was a videogame I'd have worn out my action button trying to skip scenes that wouldn't allow it. The season within the gated community might be the worst one. 

    Now this season has had some action with the hope of more but these pep talks with Rick make my eyes roll. 

     
  • Just now gonna watch the third episode, tonight. What am I in for? Gimme a brief overview!
  • I just wanted to hop in and say that I'm currently watching this from the start. Just watched episode 1 of season 3. Soon enough I'll be in here chatting current events!

    When you make it to now you'll wonder why you kept watching after season 5 or 6.  It used to be a zombie show and now it's a drama with zombies thrown in.  I still watch it but we're beyond the best days.

    A lot of moving parts as you get past season 4, for sure. You might enjoy the current iteration, Gloves! Give it a shot, come back and let us know what you think!

     
  • Yeah right guys, if he hears you talking like this, Negan will "SHUT THAT SHIT DOWN"!!!!! Lol, it did get a little dull before Negan came around, and now I'm back to loving it. I even wear a Negan shirt sometimes so bring on Sunday night  . Best thing on TV for me now that Packers football is down the drain and Game of Thrones won't be back forever.

    Negan is the man! I hate him, but dig him all at once. I went as him for Halloween last year, even. Ha. GoT I just got into, so I can watch it at my leisure!

    We are deep in the cool to hate span of the show. Its becomming cliche now. Game of Thrones is starting to get the same thing. Thats an infinitely better show though.

     
  • I've noticed the pacing on the show has been shit for a while, but I keep watching because it's still better than 99% of the other garbage on tv..

    Nice!  Please tell me you made Lucille!  That's very awesome.



    GoT is fan-freaking-tastic - you won't regret it.   A little slow going in the first season but once it's going you'll love it.  It does put Walking Dead to shame.

    Indeed! I made my own lucille! GoT has been fantastic so far! I have no real qualms! Except the killing of off characters! People who I suspected were gonna have a long tenure, turn out to be killed immediately! LOL!

    No pics of your home homemade lucille?

    Also, Lucille or the bat in stranger things? Just the bat vs bat alone, not "Negan is cooler than Steve" type of scenario.

    TWD reached out to Stranger Things about lending Lucille.

  • Yeah I'd love to see pictures of this homemade Lucille!

    Hahahah! This is crazy! I had no clue that TWD offered Lucille over to Steve! 



    I kind of like Steve's bat a little more. It's a lot more aggressive looking. I'll take some pics of mine when I'm outta work later today.

    Yes, last night's episode was easily the best of this season IMO.  Not necessarily "best" as in the good guys winning, just best as in the most exciting and actually holding your attention all the way through.

    Oh man! Now I'm pumped! I've found myself watching episodes while multi-tasking, lately. I'm excited to give my full attention to this episode, tonight! 
  • Haha, I love that he just tossed the bike against that rail going after Rick. Pretty sweet they got a "big gun" now too and finally we get to see some of badass Carol again.



    Poor Shiva! Ezekial had an awfully bad day, but what about Jerry? Haha, he's awesome.



    It looks like they are going to try and trick the saviors with that big gun case - I'm thinking the rest of the first half of S8 should be good!
