Wow, they are going for another season (post 8)! I'm burnt on it. I endured season 8, because I wanted to see Negan ripped to bloody shreds, as he deserved, then they pulled this BS "oh, we can't kill him crap".
I honestly thought the series was over, as it seems like they ended in a "happily ever after place", with no cliff-hangers.

One the things I've always wondered about, is nobody has ever said: "Oh man, do you smell that? There must be a walker in that room!" I'm thinking dead bodies can stink really bad, but no one ever wrinkles a nostril!

I guess getting the seeds made sense but everything else in the museum was so stupid, even by TWD standards. A lot of people have given the show a lot of Sunday nights over many years, they owe us better than this.

Seems like ages ago, but I remember Monday morning posts on TWD used to be multiple pages long.

The wagon scene was about the dumbest thing I've seen on TWD in a long time. You're telling me they couldn't find a wagon, plow or canoe anywhere other than a museum? C'mon, man.

That and the drama with the walkers coming towards them. Acted like it was first season experience in killing them - run away. But then the dude goes down and now everyone comes back and kills them all.
They live in a society where they have to dispose of these zombies, not run away and hope to avoid them forever. They have to be eradicated.

Like I said, I finished SOA, so I'll finish TWD. It's easy to watch with a DVR and laugh at some of the dumb stuff - like the wagon and plow retrieval stupidity.

Dude, same here. I don’t mind blood and gore one bit, but for some weird reason, that episode turned me off to the entire series.

Watched it from a recording...I hit the “jump ahead 30 seconds” button A LOT.

It jumped the shark for me when they brought the Nagan character in. Just got needlessly dark for me. Stuck it out about half of that season hoping it would be a short lived detour, but them moved on.
What part of "...Shall not be infringed" don't you understand???

The touching "told you so" conversation with Negan told me all that I need to know. This season will be predictable and shitty. You locked a psychopath in your basement. Gee, wonder what happens when he gets out?

Damn, I didn’t think it was possible for the show to get any worse, but this season is proving me wrong. And the whole Rick and Michonne thing is just...yuck.
