Betting that they start with a flashback and don't let us know who died until the end.

Wouldn't be surprised if tonight ends up being a Carol & Morgan episode, and we don't even see Rick or Negan

Flashbacks of Glenn and Abe happy memories interspersed with a real-time non-threat zombie situation made into an actual threat because of idiot decisions or bullshit moral considerations.

How many times has someone had the urge to go off into the woods and do some random poo poo with a random walker in this show?

I think that Negan doesn't want to die, but worries more about what happens to him if he lives like the people he oppresees.

So he acts the way he does because the alternative is being the people under him. If he dies then it is better than being run under a copy Negan.

I wonder why it's not on Discovery channel this time around. Maybe because the show isn't about putting sick-rear end exhaust pipes on an iguana.

I do miss the season one aspect where the walkers would retain some of the old habits from when they were alive. Nice to see it back.

I'm just catching up now, and I have two very important points:

1. Many good shows have a weird/fun episode. This is not a good show so I'm not sure if they did this on purpose or not, but this was fun.

2. Vintage THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS! They used it poorly and briefly, but they used it!

So I just gave in and watched a few episodes of z nation since you guys talk about it so much.

It's kind of getting off to a bad start with how stupid people are acting 3 episodes in.

They're just ahead of the curve. TWD didn't have people acting consistently stupid until a couple of episodes into season 2.

Some stuff went down here but I'm still struggling with the idea of a dozen men spending an entire afternoon arming themselves, burning gas and braving the zombie wilds to meet up and exchange 12 cantaloupes.

You think that's lean times? Next week's scheduled tribute to the saviors is 11 honeydews.

I've found the show more enjoyable if I assume that TWD doesn't take place as an alternate future to our world, but a world very similar to ours where the people were %100 dumber than us even before the zombie apocalypse.

The more this poo poo slowly builds up leads me to believe that the season will not with Negan getting defeated, but with Rick bringing together all the different forces, setting out to attack The Saviors, and right when the battle is about to start--CUT! TUNE IN NEXT SEASON TO SEE THE BIG BATTLE!

And the big battle will happen on the last episode of that season. Every episode preceding the last episode will consist of people in Rick's siege camp philosophizing about violence.

I bet someone edits TWD down to a pretty cool 2.5 hour movie once it's over. It would be much easier than most of those kinds of projects considering that you can outright skip 3 out of 4 episodes.

So Plan A was killing Negan. Backup plan is to rescue Eugene thus taking away your man inside while also alerting Negan to Plan A.

The only way this show can be saved is by everybody dying from an environmental cataclysm with only Eugene and Negan escaping into a one season road trip together. At the end of that season both Eugene and Negan die. Then the show runners die.

That...might actually happen! Remember, one of Eugene's scenes involved him showing Negan's wives how to produce a small scale bomb. I thought nothing of it, but now that I think of it...what if that's foreshadowing?

TWD never intelligently foreshadows. They just do what they want then they go back and make a 1.5 hour flashback episode.

I tried watching the finale a few minutes ago, and I quit about 15 minutes in. Walking flashbacks and loading/unloading a truck is too boring even for background scenery.

I caved and watched an episode, and it was just as bad as I knew it would be.

The guy walks intro a beartrap, screams in agony and immediately 6 or so zombies jump out of the bush, and somehow, magically, he is fighting them off. Even more magically the gun teleports to gabriels feet (did it get thrown out of the guys hand? I missed it if it did) and he makes the perfect blindfolded noscope360. It is so amazing in fact that the doctor doesn't care about the pain or the other 3 zombies lurking about anymore and is just laughing.

I feel like part of TWD's universe's rule set is that items randomly teleport up to 10 feet, and the writers just forgot to clue us into that rule 40 seasons ago.

Other than that is it just normal physics with normal humans using normal human emotion and reasoning.

Alright, so...since the show has clearly deteriorated in quality recently...I've got a question.

What happened? Like, for those who have stuck around for a long time...where did the turning point come? People analyze the Simpsons, trying to analyze when it "jumped the shark", or started to deteriorate...so what about with Walking Dead? What went wrong, and why? Which hiring decision ended up biting them in the butt?

That, and more, would legit interest me.

Season 3 was where it was still kind of ok, but the quality and thought behind the show was clearly half-assed. This show collapsed very, very quickly.

I think it's because the show became super popular, and that's when smaller networks go berserk and have webisodes, and mobile games, and Chris Hardwicks; so the writers think that the world they created is invincible and does not need maintenance.

I don't remember when the show became just walking through the woods and pondering 6th grade philosophy.
