Re: The Walking Dead
 

the thing which is bugging me is the "realism" factor which I have mentioned many a time before. The season finale did my head in because there is no way that ambush would have worked without the bad guys being able to communicate with one another over distance and coordinate tactics.
There were several times in 7x01 where Rick easily had the upper hand with the axe and Neegan had his back to him (or when they were sitting at the table) and Rick could have easily in a split second had him. If the rest of the bad guys are so subservient that they let Neegan rule with impunity then they would have accepted Rick as the new alpha male.
I absolutely love TWD but if they are going to start doing unrealistic things with the story line (especially to set it aside from FTWD) then I'll stop watching it. They have had 6 great season and I am not going to watch it go down hill now.

Aren't we getting a CGI/puppet tiger soon? Good grief......

Re: The Walking Dead
 

I loved 7x02. Hopefully a dose of the real world and some positivity will snap Rick & co out of it

Carol nicking the chocolate was a much needed spot of humour.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

I think Ezekiel was quite entertaining, obviously the actor was a fan of "coming to America ".

The tiger is a great idea.

In regards to last night, I don't know if they will do a back story but surely Negan must be ex-CIA or special forces, or some one that is trained in mentally breaking people.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

I agree and would love to see it, even if it isn't a full episode and they blend some flashbacks into the current story line of what is happening in a particular episode (like they did with Lost).


I am hoping that Daryl half turns to the dark side and joins Neegan for a while. We all think he is properly bad and then when Neegan goes after Rick & co they start pasting all the minor people in Alexandria and then just as they get to Rick and the major characters Daryl appears out of the blue and grinds Neegan into a pulp.

another stupid episode

Re: The Walking Dead
 

I was hoping this was going to happen at some point. A crossover is planned and it would be great if they could do it with the entire cast of both series:

Re: The Walking Dead
 

I am of two minds about the pilot. I liked the premise of it and it is great to see everyone going on the attack and hopefully wrapping up the Neegan story line. The one thing which really bugged me is how focused it was and unrealistic and I can only hope they make it right in 8x02. Where are all the saviours, the extra dudes they brought in at the end of the finale and all the salve workers he has? I want to see the zombies working their way through the complex finishing everyone off, especially Simon and Eugene.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

Michonne is leaving in season 10 which is a bummer because I love watching her do her Samurai thing. Her departure is in addition to Rick and Maggie which we have yet to see the impact of yet and I wonder how the show can survive 3 huge characters leaving because even if you bring new characters in it takes time for them to establish themselves and bring some depth. I wouldn't be surprised if other members of the cast have second thoughts and maybe it is time to think about ending the series after 10 years.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

I remembered what happened to Rick at the end of the last episode and the cemetery scene but I forgot all the other side stories that were going on and most importantly Judith. I think she is absolutely fantastic and is my favourite character out of all the tv series I watch atm.

Re: The Walking Dead
 

It's it just me but I'm finding it hard to like season 9 so far it's just not pulling me in...I'm hoping it's going to get better but it's so damn slow and the remaining characters just don't seem to stand out

Re: The Walking Dead
 

I love season 9, I think it is my favourite season after 1 and 2. The last couple of seasons especially have done my nut in and I was ready to stop watching the show but they have turned it around big time and the problems they are facing now are more grounded and realistic. I think Judith is absolutely fantastic and I love how the rest of the characters have developed due to the time jumps. I thought the whispering mum was going to be another annoying OTT Neegan-type bady but I am glad they have already taken her down a notch by drawing all the walkers into her camp. I have never touched the comics so I don't know what is going to happen but I am really hoping things get so bad that they need to let Neegan out and use him for a bit of consultation on how to deal with them. It will be good to see him kicking ass for the good guys.

I am really enjoying this season, so much so that if I had all the eps available to me now I would binge watch them all in one go.
