Alright I know we've got some TWD fans up in here. What'd you guys think of that finale?!

I mean damn I really didn't want Sasha to die. Especially the way she did,..didn't even kill Negan. Just one of his goons. Only upside is that she can't be used a prisoner against Rick and at least now she's with Abraham (according to the show).

I was somewhat disappointed that there wasn't a huge battle scene, but man! When those junkyard people turned on the Alexandrians..that really took me by surprise.

Also the scene where Negan almost killed Carl had me on the edge of my seat. Close call...

All in all I give that finale a 7/10. Could've been better, and the cliffhanger was meh. It seems like it's gonna build back up to the exact thing we wanted to see tonight - a war between all the communities.

Oh well. Till October... let me hear your thoughts!

Oh snap. The walking dead is still going? I stopped watching after someone in this forum spoiled for me that Glen dies. Now I just don't want to watch it. Also because the whole jump from one barricaded paradise town to another with an identical plot just seemed so repetitive I felt like the creators were getting lazy.

Yeah I'll admit it is getting repetitive but I'm too invested in it to stop now. Plus this bad guy is wayyyy worse than the Governor.

But I agree they do need to change things up in the show.

My critique of TWD:

 

I'm normally a fan of zombie flicks and TWD was pretty good the first few seasons. Watching the initial episode, it felt too close to 28 days later when Jim wakes up in a hospital. Moving on, we meet new characters and lose them in an everly suspenseful amount as you slowly get a taste for who will be the big main characters. The whole build up to the inevitable faceoff between Rick and his police partner (forgot his name) took a bit too long IMO and seemed slightly overdone on the emotional build up. 

Up until the Prison, and even during the prison, the story went pretty great. Seeing Rick lose his mind, his son "grow up" and the various build ups of other characters was pretty interesting. The whole Governor thing had its up's and downs. I mean aside from the dumb blonde girl who always seems to hook up with the worst men and never dies, a few points of it just seemed exaggerated with how nobody questions him. Overall, the whole prison bit was about where the show hit it's peak for me.

After this, the survivors separate while Rick and those who stayed together end up in another town identical to Terminus called Alexandria. Only real difference is that this town isn't run by a an alcoholic psychopath. Course, like the people of Terminus, they aren't incredibly bright either and just like in Terminus, the gang finds themselves at odds with a walled off town of survivors trying to recreate normalcy in a zombie apocalypse.

During this time, I think the story of Rick and those in Alexandria is just an uncreative repeat of Terminus, however the character builds/reintroductions to those lost or outside the town was pretty great. Really the only memorable parts for me in that whole shebang.

 

Anyway, it's vaguely around that point where I left off. Yet unlike most zombie flicks, even ones that are far dumber and cheaper than this, I just don't really feel any desire to continue watching.

TWD started as a zombie show, morphed into a survivalist show, and now everyone is a stone cold murderer. The zombies are a hazard now, a sideshow, the extras. The tiger was an awesome touch. It's like they were all so shocked that they just stand there and watch that dude have his face eaten, while they all had guns and nobody pulls a trigger. Carl has been used so many times in near death scenes that I knew straight up something would happen to save him. When Sasha went in to kill Negan, I knew her number was up, and I was surprised to see her still standing for a couple more episodes. Nice way for her to go out, with the poison and the casket. I guess Negan is way too good of a bad guy, and good for plot design, to kill him off just yet. I'm still watching, and that's all they really want.

Yeah I was pretty sure they weren't gonna kill Negan in the finale. But he is, by far, the best bad guy the show has ever seen. I mean I kinda like the guy. If you think about it, he's a perfectly reasonable person. Even generous at times. A total asshole for dictating the communities, yes. But still, offering Daryl, Eugene, and Sasha all spots in his staff. I mean yeah they'd be used against Rick but still, he could have just smashed their heads with a bat.

Negan needs to die a painful death for everyone he's killed so far (which all his kills have been reasonable)

I do agree it's becoming repetitive though. I mean think about it. We've been waiting for a clash between the Saviors and all the communities. Now what are we looking forward to in the S8 premiere?

...Exactly.

I jsut cant stand how the made just a couple of pages from the comics into an entire season.  Every episode was pure filler and boring.  There is a reason this show never has and never will  be nominated for an emmy

Regardless it was once the most watched show on television. It's been insanely successful and still is.

oh yeah its been very successful in terms of viewership, i agree 100%.  I do not think it even comes close to being a show people will remember long after its off the air(shows like Breaking Bad, the Wire, MASH, The Sopranos and so forth)

 

it just does a really good job of irritating me lol


to me I think its kind of like Lost, where the show started off so good then gradually went down hill (tho i think the first season of lost is probably one of the best individual seasons of all time)

Yeah like I said before they definitely need a plot change up. But I've been watching since Halloween on a Day 1, so I can't stop now :D

I gotta see how it ends.

Well the focus on Tara was because she discovered the Ocean Women.

The focus on Sasha was because of her upcoming death (and Rosita was with her on that so that explains her sole episode)

Anytime someone gets their own episode, something significant either happens to them or because of them.

Love that show.  It's the only reason I'm paying $2.00 extra to get AMC on my Videotron package. 

Yeah, I still have cable.  Can't quite figure out that goddamn steaming shit.  NetFlix is still a mystery, and I only have a 60 GB limit on my internet.

 

There's still one episode from the first season which still gives me nightmares.  The one where they are at the CDC and the Doctor gives them a choice.  To die or continue to survive. 

 

I like the fact that the Walkers have become a non-symmetrical threat to a manageable risk.  In this type of situation, survivors would become your greatest threat.  Tigers (which was awesome), aside. 

 

I can't wait to see what the next season will bring.

For sure! TWD has had several let-downs, but they never fail to entertain me. And that's what tv is for right?

It does a good job of surprising you, making you sit on the edge of your seat, making you angry, sad, relieved...

I say the writers are doing their job fantastically.
