The Walking Dead

[McMetal]

I totally blew this off last night to watch an old MST3K re-run that was infinitely more entertaining. Feeling close and closer to letting this go. It's just become a bleak, joyless 60 minutes utterly lacking in suspense for me. Hard to get excited about that anymore.

[Rob]

I thought last night's episode was actually pretty good.  Despite him being my least favorite character on the show, the Carl stuff was pretty sad.

[BillCable]

That was a long, long, LONG goodbye...

The Kingdom story was more interesting, but resulted in the most conventional result you could imagine.

[Rob]

It was, but shouldn't a character who's been around since season 1 get a bigger send-off?

[GrandMoffNick]

I enjoyed last night's episode. Didn't need the extra 20 minutes.

But the days of looking forward to Sunday night has long since come and gone

[BillCable]

The thing that bugs me most:

- Judith was born just before the prison.
- Maggie got knocked up at the prison.
- Judith now looks like a 3-year-old.
- Maggie doesn't yet even have a baby bump.

[JediJman]

I don't know what the official timeline looks like, but I believe Maggie was knocked up in Alexandria.  She announces it right around when Rick puts the moves on Jessie, so she's maybe 4-5 months pregnant now? 

[Jesse James]

I enjoyed the ep but yeah the Kingdom end was meh.  The Carl was ok though and actually sad and emotional.  The Carl’s dream twist ties into his Negan time too I think.

[BillCable]

I think, at this point, Rick and Michonne are too stupid to continue surviving.

It's been a long time since WD has done anything that genuinely shocked me.  But that trash shredder scene genuinely shocked me.  Bravo!

[Dave]

Definitely a bit more gore this year. 

Eight days ago we had the disemboweling scene too.

I wasn't bothered by either, but my wife watches the show too and is okay with the cartoony violence the show normally has, but is struggling with the increased gore now.

Free chili at the Heapster's retreat!

I actually thought it was odd that Jadis was actually talking like a normal human being when she was the only one left.

[BillCable]

Yeah - I think that showed they were all kinda role-playing.  Just like the people at the Kingdom.

Yeah, the last zombie-killing moment that I thought was that good was when they strung the cable between the two cars and just drove through a crowd of them out on the highway.

Yeah....that was pretty epic!

At least at the kingdom, it makes more sense, and it's basically just Ezekiel playing a role with the others still acting somewhat like normal people.  I never really liked the Heapsters....it was all just too over the top (and that's saying something with the Kingdom having King Ezekiel and a ******* tiger).

[BillCable]

I actually enjoyed last night's episode quite a bit.  That Rick v/s Negan brawl was tight.  Flaming Lucille!
