I’m finished with this show.
I saved up about 4 episodes to binge watch up to mid season hoping it would improve but it really hasn’t. Such a poor mid season break I can’t even be bothered to list them.
I always resisted reading the comics as I enjoyed the show, I’m just going to read them now instead.

Ok, so what is with this season, Neegan could have been killed atleast 2 times so far easily... One time Rick had a clear shot & the other he had his barb wired bat beating Neegan with it, kind of made me mad really...
Strange when shows do that...

So much buildup about Karl and then have the critical stuff happening off screen....a total waste of a character and buildup...very much damp squid reveal.
Also last few episodes have been taking cues from Got regarding timey wimey stuff because it's all over the place. Did Eugene just do his one man A team moment off camera to manufacture the tons of bullets they would need??? Lol srsly Eugene is gone anyway....very annoying character...too many betrayals bud.... so many idiotic actions from supposedly smart people.
As usual Rick is Mia from a lot of the episodes...same with Michonne and Daryl. Too many crappy characters getting screentime...

me neither, at least with streaming on nowtv the blackness of most of the scenes meant it was even hard to see

Damp squib, not squid (that's something you drag out of the sea)!

Yeah has nowtv got worse for streaming of late, found the last few walking dead’s really poor clarity?
Ya, like all the zombies around the sanctuary were killed, sure... Eugene is a double crossing jerk, Neegen keeps magically getting away, lets count them Rick had a clear shot at him with a gone & he had Neegens bat beating him, both missed ops...

Glad I gave up after the first episode of this season. Sounds like this show is well and truly done.
Just got round to watching the last few episodes. Had actual rage at the incompetence and lack of logic in so much of it!
So, none of the snipers watching the sanctuary bother to report the fact there's a huge amount of gunfire coming from there?
The Sanctuary suddenly had enough bullets to get rid of large amounts of the horde and lead the rest away?
None of the towns, Alexandria or Kingdom have people watching approaches or guards on wall capable of giving warnings?
Yet again, Neegan and his mobs are able to stand outside the gates with no cover where literally one person with an assault rifle would turn them into swiss cheese.
The heavily armed Hilltop convoy just watch the smaller number of vehicles pull up, allow the saviours to jump out and just take their rifles off them??!?!?!?!? w the actual f?
The saviours allow the hilltop to just head on home without putting guards in with them?!
The King chap is "worth more than the rest of them together"? What? Than all the people in his Kingdom?! What!?
I just don't get it. This show must have a huge budget. Has a lot of talented people working on it etc. How can the people at the reins just get so much simple stuff wrong?!
They need less episodes a season and someone with some common sense to storyboard their episodes with decent directors who know how to film action scenes involving guns. Or just get rid of the guns entirely.

Think the problem is the communications. They were trying to keep everything on the DL hence why at certain stages they were passing notes left in certain locations to keep radio silence.

Eugene made them. He came up with the plan. If they had the machinery and materials he could make them. Unfortunately the timeline wasn't clear so it looks like he manifested them out of his mulleted butt.

Well i took this as the group had been a little complacent and they thought they had them trapped so they were not expecting them and as a consequence were taken by surprise.

Wouldn't be good TV would it now.. ;)

Again they were complacent and got taken by surprise.

I think they had made their point so didn't need to.
The King chap is "worth more than the rest of them together"? What? Than all the people in his Kingdom?! What!?
Maybe his leadership and ability to bring people together to survive trump the others. They certainly believed it enough to die for it.
Anyway, just my take on it these points.

Showrunner got fired before next season, there is still (tiny) hope for this phoenix.
When I say fired, I mean - they actually promoted that numpt to run the entire franchise including the Fear of The Walking Dead. So, yeah, probably time to jump the ship...

After I stopped watching this after episode 1 of this season I am truly baffled why I stuck with it for so long, just about anything is better than TWD. ,well maybe not Corrie or EastEnders that is
I still haven't watched the finale of season 8 yet - just can't bring myself to LOL - so much tripe in the last episode I did watch I'd feel stupid watching it :s gonna give whatever comes out next of FTWD a try but I can't see myself returning to TWD short of a completely fundamental shake up.

Can’t remember if I bothered watching all the episodes. It kills me when shows just aim to go on and on... it just ends up being less good than it could be, then going down hill. I wish they’d craft a story arc and end up with something they’d be proud of.
I think of eg. Breaking Bad. Obviously it’s not universally liked, but it’s a top notch show where they told a story and ended up with something thought of as a classic. No one’s ever going to look back at the Walking Dead and think of it in those terms... at best it’ll be something that started out well, then meandered down a mediocre path until it died. How depressing.
I’ve heard season 16 is meant to be a right corker!
Soldato
Not the best start for the second half of the show, I think that goes down as the longest death scene certainly in TWD if not any show?
Wonder what will happen now with Maggie being off the show due to a pay issue, not that she's been important to the plot this season.
