shotsup 832 Posted October 8, 2018 Wife and I finally bailed middle of last season. At least we stuck around long enough to see Carl die. Carl died ?? Cool. I gave it up when there was that negro with a tiger. Jumped the shark and I was out. How did Carl die ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dain11279 928 Posted October 8, 2018 Spoiler: Glad to see Gregory die. He was a weasel that got too many chances. The actor that played him did a very good job. Fun fact: That's Xander Berkeley. Same guy who played the Secret Service agent that went rogue in Air Force One. And I watched last night, pretty good episode. I've said before that I'm too invested now, over 100 episodes. I may lose interest when they kill Rick off. One of the few good actors on the show, and the series won't be the same without his character. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DonS 3,067 Posted October 8, 2018 Bit The only downside to Carl getting bit was they then had an entire episode showing how it happened via flashbacks and corny ass weepy sentiment as he wrote kumbaya letters to everyone including Neagan. They kept dragging out the inevitable for so long that the wife and I started worrying that he would somehow miraculously NOT die. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shotsup 832 Posted October 10, 2018 Someone (big fan) told me that AMC is committed to telling the full story (comic book wise) and will need at least 6 more seasons to do that. Really ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,646 Posted October 10, 2018 Got to admit, at first, I really liked Negan. He actually had some color and some character compared to wallpaper paste Rick. That's also why I liked Daryl's brother. But god, even when he appears for just a few seconds now, it's like, aren't you dead already? Either kill the guy or don't. But this keeping him in stasis crap is worthless. Also, was bummed to see that the actor who plays Hershel died in real life. They were actually planning on bringing him back somehow. I read that story and about 2 hours later saw the news that he had died. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,646 Posted October 10, 2018 Walking Dead delivered a 2.5 rating among adults 18-49 and 6.08 million viewers. That's the smallest 18-49 rating for a season premiere in the show's history the series debut in 2010 drew a 2.7 and tied for the second-lowest demo rating of any episode. Sunday's show dropped by 50 percent from the season eight premiere in 2017. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,646 Posted October 29, 2018 I saw about a five-line blurb about yesterday show. It seems pretty obvious that this was one of their notorious placeholder shows. I know they can all be home runs, but it seems like you can skip about two shows for everyone that you want to see. Women friends of mine say the same thing about daytime soap operas. You can miss a week at a time and still get caught up pretty damn quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It really hasn't been bad. It's just been different seeing them some of the main characters drift away from each other a little bit. And nobody has thrown a rape on Maggie yet which is a little disappointing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drops the kid who is like 2 years old now and she's 40 pounds heavier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cyclone24 1,814 Posted November 5, 2018 I'm confused. They do a preview of the next three shows in Judith is now like 8 years old? And they didn't exactly not leave the door open for Rick to come back. I thought the episode was exceptional. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore troubadour 12,660 Posted November 5, 2018 So Rick is alive with the garbage gal. And in 3 years they haven't heard from him? They must be doing experiments on him in some lab. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,646 Posted November 5, 2018 Spoiler: No really, spoiler. Last warning. If you watch Talking Dead right after. They have the director, writer producer Scott Gimble saying that Rick won't be coming back to the walking dead, but that they are going to produce a series of stand-alone movies in the coming years yada yada yada. If I'm Rick, I get that money up front. Because for a series that's seemingly dying on the vine, these guys sure have some ambitious plans for the future. And the little chick is 6 years old in the time Jump. And if she looks familiar? She's little Ren from the new Star Wars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cyclone24 1,814 Posted November 5, 2018 Also I hope they don't focus on Judith and somehow now she's a marksman. We already have enough unreasonably militant hand to hand combat expert women on the show. I don't think we need an elementary school one too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean the way that last episode ended it wasn't exactly final that he's gone. Like they purposely left the door open. Do you mean like a standalone movie of what's happening to him after he's taken in a helicopter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,646 Posted November 5, 2018 SPOILER AGAIN Per Gimble: Past, present, different parts of the world all over the world, some things iner related, some things stand alone, basically a massive increase in the entire Walking Dead universe. Again Rick, get all that money up front. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanatastic 2,061 Posted November 5, 2018 So they skipping ahead like 6 years now I guess. The Negan thing was crap, he wouldn’t have punked out like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kopy 492 Posted November 6, 2018 I believe the comics had the same big time jump also. That was how Kirkman brought in his new characters, and the whisperer storyline. So it does look like they're still kinda cohesive with eachother. I gotta wonder how much input Kirkman will have left though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted November 7, 2018 Time jump to 6 years later when Judith is 8-9 years old. Wiff - it is Rey, not Ren. Unless she was in Ren and Stimpy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
