    Future of the show?? Are they trying to break the simpsons or gunsmokes’ record? They better improve the story and get out of the damn woods.

    Negan originally wanted Maggie, the King, and Rick as he said he was going to give them the Lucille treatment. So, the idea that they didn't stick to that and offered an alt out is a bunch of bs (like was said).

    I hope for 2-4 seasons, murder of Eugene, finally going for a cure.

    I dun mind killing off Rick and have Michonne or someone else take over.

    And kill the leader of the hobos Jadis as well.

    It was the new showrunner's call actually. Chandler Riggs had an interview and said he and his parents were shocked. He had just bought a house in suburban Atlanta near where they film.

    This show needs to go ahead and end. Should be done by end of season 9 and 10 at the latest. It's already dragged on four seasons too long.

    ***DONT READ IF YOU DONT WANT TO KNOW HOW THE WAR WITH THE SAVIORS PLAYS OUT IN THE COMICS!***
    im a little behind on the comics, but coral was still alive. and its a shame they kill him b/c in the comics him and negan develop an interesting relationship. they end up imprisoning negan in alexendria and coral will secretly go there and talk to him about girls or problems with his dad. negan becomes his main confidant and negan seems to genuinely like him, but coral still says he would like to kill him. would have been cool to do that on the show.

    moving forward, i think they would have been better off killing rick. he is a total idiot now and its entirely due to poor writing...but i cant stand him.

    also, in the comics the war is super-bad ass...this season should have been one of the better ones, but it was by far the most boring.

    I stopped watching like five episodes ago. I realized I was actively cheering for main characters to die...so it really wasn't worth wasting any time. Has it gotten any better?

    Gotten worse, if you can believe that.

    So many plot holes and characters being saved by their writer's shields.

    I watched Talking Dead last night just to see what that Gimple 'character' had to say after all this. I couldn't believe when he said that if you look back and "watch a certain episode" you'll see where Carl got bit and Chandler "acted it out with his face"... and that he was surprised that NOBODY saw that and caught on to what just happened.

    That's either 1.) bad acting on his part or 2.) bad writing on yours.

    Wtf are we playing a guessing game throughout every show now? Wish I could see how that convo went down.... "Let's fill in the gaps of info with the audiences imagination!" stated Scott Muthafu**in Gimple... "Great idea boss!!!" exclaimed the editors, "that's brilliants, wish we would of thought of that!".

    I really am hating this show more and more after every half season.

    They should have just left his bite off screen as he was planting the smoke bombs saving everyone else. His explanation now ruins it for me.

    I sincerely thank you for saving hours of my time. This show is unbelievably stupid.

    Exactly. If you have to explain it, you're doing it wrong.

    He's making it seem like we're the morons that couldn't figure out his plot twist and actor's expressions.

    Gimple seems like a dick based on his appearances and demeanor on Talking Dead.

    I realized watching I don't care that Carl is dead. When you don't care that an original character is dead should say something about that he show.

    I've been obligation watching for 3 years now.

    Wife and I were actually sad. I thought he would have been the future of the show the way he was leading everyone in their town. That theory lasted all but 10 minutes.

    He could have been more, sure, his acting could be better, his persona tougher, we can't have it all.

    He was a nice kid, a nice young actor, who was trying. I give him that. Empathetic Coral!

    I was hoping for a coming of age, puppy love storyline with Carl and Enid. That would have been something sweet during the apocalypse.
