Feels like the show itself is becoming one of them. Shuffling along, moaning, hungry but never satisfied, unchanging other than decay and will not DIE.
After the most annoying, stretched out, obnoxious, "when will it end" seasons, I felt we did not get the end we deserved. As much as I like Jeffrey Dean Morgan, I can't stand the Negan crap.
The Governor was a far more interesting character with some depth. Negan's smugness got old at the end of LAST season. I get that they want him a mystery, but this ordeal should've been
over a mid season. It comes across like they're stuck and don't know where to go with the story. The evil humans of the season thing is old. Wandering around scavenging food is old. Finding automatic weapons and ammo is old.
At this point the only group that has made sense are the women at the waterfront. Why? FOOD! Sure they're nutty feminists now, but they've got something going and the only walkers they get are the chance boat wreck.
MOVE ON! Do something with the CDC info from season 1, advance the story some. The millions of early walkers should be rotted away, figure something out! Communicate, look at all the groups in just this crappy area. Start to ranch and farm, quit
the scavenging.
Ugh. I don't know if I have another season in me. If I'd waited to watch this one and heard how it ended, I doubt I'd have bothered with it. The story bringing us to this point wasn't worth the journey.

The show has gotten very annoying.

The "garbage dump" people are just unbelievably, stupidly annoying. How did a bunch of weirdo, stunted speech wacko's survive so long? What is the point of them talking in such a manner? Are they all escapees from the local mental hospital?

And the constant "ok we are on a serious search for food/weapons/etc here but let's stop and have a heart to heart talk about some crap no one really cares about" among the main characters is also annoying.

And apparently if you're homosexual you have a much greater chance of surviving a zombie apocalypse too, how many have they have/had now, 5-6? Of course the "Jesus" character has to be homosexual too, can't miss a chance to poke Christians in the eye with a pointy stick. Father Gabriel also being another, portrayed as a traitor/psycho for most of his time on the show. Hey, but we have a nice sweet muslim girl living at the Kingdom!

The Ezekiel character is also starting to get on my nerves, does he ALWAYS have to talk Shakespearean? Everyone knows he's not a real king, even the kingdom folks. Don't they? Or are they really just as wacko as the garbage dump gang?

The show I know is based on a comic book, but comic book doesn't translate well directly to TV. They should diverge the TV show from the comic book more and try to be more "realistic" rather than this constant "here comes the next super villain" like the Governor, Terminus, Negan etc.

I have to agree. I used to look forward to it, set the time aside each Sunday. But now? I thought about making a similar thread but realized I no longer cared that much biggrin

It's a complete mess. That season finale was poor. Sasha became a walker to get Negan when he opened the casket? Yeah, good plan. Any number of things could have spoiled that one.

I'm tired of Negan too. I liked him in the episode he was introduced. I thought now there is proper villain. But by now his manner has completely put me off. I get I'm not to like him, but it's bad enough not to want to watch. The entire battle in the finale was laughable. Rick's face when he is trapped makes me want to stop watching too. That slack-jawed distant stare thing he does. Usually with buckets of sweat for good measure.

I completely agree about lack of direction or ideas. It's a mess. Gimple has to go. I wanted Chris Hardwick on the Talking Dead to say to Gimple "Now that kinda sucked, what's in store for next season"


No, now go away or I shall taunt you a second time!

The garbage people really are laughable. Explain to me why they dumped weapons on them and then robbed the women on the island to give their guns to them too? WTF?! They could've worked at recruiting the island women and not burned that bridge! It would've taken some work but not as much as planning that way over the top assault on them. Most were on board anyway, just not the leader woman.

Is it just me, or do you guys think that every time Negan gets in Ricks face with no more than a baseball bat, threatens to kill Carl horribly (and already has several people)....you know, Rick killed a guy with his TEETH when the guy held a gun to his head and was behind him! Why not now? He even whispered in Negan's ear!

I don't get it. Leave, find somewhere better to live. I get it that Alexandria has walls and solar power, but it doesn't have a farm. If you can find assault rifles to so easily, I'm sure you can find solar panels elsewhere and a better place to live, probably already set up on a farm or ranch. Perhaps not in the middle of the woods but somewhere you can see around you or on an island. Head to the friggin Florida Keys for crying out loud! Go fishing! Your own personal island! Live on a yacht! Live the dream!

I was very disappointed in the season finale. I was ready for a showdown. I was ready for Negan to suffer some creative and satisfying death.

Instead I got really nothing. It was just another episode.

With most of the extra 25 minutes wasted on meaningless flashbacks and so called "character development".

I want an action show not a soap opera!

I like The Walking Dead.

No terrible decision can't be fixed with the application of superior fire power. And they make A LOT of terrible decisions. These are people that, before the zombie apocalypse, probably had accounts at check cashing places and rented their furniture (It's only 10 bucks a week for 48 weeks for the TV and I get to own it at the end of the rental period!).

On all the gays, I'm waiting on some crusty old guy to say "All right, now, we've got to repopulate the Earth, so you can drop all that homo stuff right now and get with the program."

smile

Seriously, on the Fear the Walking Dead I'd buy that there are just loads of gays, statistically, in any group - it's LA, after all - but not Georgia. OTOH, the current crop of locals are from the DC area, so that would be a spike. From the rural North Georgia group, though, not so much.

Then again, in the comics it's fairly realistic in that whenever survivors have some free time under an umbrella of temporary security they're humping like bunnies.
