[Closed] The walking dead

I reckon I would've been if the last few series are anything to go by...

Was better than the first half of the series. Nice to see some creative zombie slaying for the first time in a while

It was ok, trying to figure out who he was smiling at, at the end.

A lot of slaughter but it was a little flat.

1st season was amazing. Each season thereafter got steadily worse.

No coincidence that it got worse after Frank Darabont left.

Was anyone else Disappointed by last nights the walking dead ?

I've been disappointed with pretty much every episode of S7. Haven't watched last nights one yet. It's definitely run its course.

I was out after episode 1 of season 7.

I fell asleep

They really do need to get off the story arc of the graphic novels. All the getting together to face Negan, and The Kingdom is dull as ditchwater stuff. It needs stripping back to the basics with a smaller, more vulnerable group.

Thought last nights episode was pretty good.

Anyone else finding King Ezekiel annoying as ****?

Me too. Also enjoyed the mid-season return. Just want to see them get on with it and take the fight to the Saviours now.

Forsooth, let it be said that this is the case, verily.

I like the fact the nihilists from The Big Lewbowski are surviving the zombie apocalypse.

Anyone else notice what looked like a plane behind Rick's head when he was on top of the rubbish pile? Probably just missed in the editing, but never know with these shows.

Not nearly enough Negan since the mid season break.

Yep, saw that, but decided it was a bird, not a plane.

Do we know how much time has elapsed since "the event"? Cos that group last night seem to have gone all "mad max" apocalypse vocabulary pretty quick.

The walking dead - plenty of them in Leeds.

Was an OK episode, the underlying issue of the zombies just being mildly annoying bit-part players these days remains though. They have to contrive situations in which to make them seem any real threat. Even in the latest episode it was almost laughable as Rick and Michonne kept looking up concerned at the walkers half a mile away walking slowly towards them and then a couple of minutes later suddenly had to run through them pfft.
As naff as it would be they need some super zombies like in World War Z once Negan's dead (hopefully along with 99% of the current bloated cast) and make it a zombie survival show again

My counter to that is that after so much time they are not scared by the "biters" almost blasé. They know how to kill them, many of them are in bad shape.

There was a discussion about how people would cope if the dead could run, as in World Was Z, the conclusion was they wouldn't it would be game over.

This weeks boss level zombie was pretty easy

Various time lines put it at only a couple of years at most, unless you're Carl, in which case it's about five years!

defeated by some sofa cushions and a random trash bag of rags.

 

Yep. Needs a new show runner for me. It's a bit too bleak as well. What's wrong with a bit of hope? Where's the bloody people? Why can no one communicate with other states or other countries. It needs to be scaled back cast wise and scaled up location wise. And it needs a road map to an end date before people start switching off in greater numbers.

Also noticed that the King sounded like Johnson from peep show for a while in that last episode.

I was temporarily blinded by the horrific CGI.

Wait. That was a green screen? It seemed so real!

😀

No CGI, they're having to use different tigers so sometimes it looks like it's a different size

I found the last episode pretty dull. Im hangin in there as I want to see how the downfall of Negan comes about.
Surely there has to be a wicked twist or two leading up to the liberation.

Agree that it would be good to see more zombie threat and isolation, but, isolation probably doesnt translate well to multiple seasons and the human element of such a landscape is an interesting subject.

There's a helipad in the background of that screen grab above too...

Maybe Negan will get taken out by a Hellfire missile from an Apache...

Great episode last night 😆 some proper gruesome zombie killing

I enjoyed it, I casually said "ah, this is the episode that Rick dies" I'm not sure where it came from, but my OH jaw hit the floor.

Not sure if I enjoyed last night's episode or not, I guess I was disappointed nothing properly kicked off but at the same time know the writers like to have a few padding build-up episodes before the big events of the season.

At least Carol's back and an unstable Morgan is always a good thing, now I just want to see the tiger munching on Saviours...

Good things from last night:

Force-of-nature Carol is back. I LOLed at the road sign scene.

Mental Morgan. He could go off in any direction.

Oceanside is about to get dragged in.

The dialogue between Rick and Michonne puts us on notice to be prepared for the loss of another major character.

I wouldnt chuck Michonne out of the bed for eating crackers, i can tell thee...

Meh, the contrived situations wind me up more than they should. I mean you get a decent sniper rifle but then come up with dumb reasons why it's better to run into the compound carrying it. Next week better not be a CQB clearance of the compound using the sniper rifle else the writers have played too much Counterstrike...

@FuzzyWuzzy, I suspect we'll all be disappointed by next week's episode. It's the last but one, it'll be more staging and more tension building.

I've mentally prepared myself for the last one in 2 weeks to end on the Mother, Brother and Sister of a cliff hanger, it's 'how they do'.

Yeah it's all got a little dull at the moment. It's not really the Walking Dead now, more Piggy and Ralph in Lord of the Flies. If i wanted to watch that, i would.... I want Zombies, crazy crazy zombies....
It seems like they've run out of Zombie plot.... which lets be honest... means it's lost all it's purpose.

Well I am still enjoying it 😆

Who is the shadowy figure that Rossitta bumps into?

Pigface- it'll be Jesus or Darryl or both.

Holding a crossbow, no? Must be Daryl.

Really disappointing episode though. How many times they can rehash the 'tense search by saviours' thing? And the girly bonding over sniper rifle was just tiresome.

Doesn't the bloke with the burnt face still have daryls bow? thought daryl had got a new one from the kingdom.
Could be him but Rosita thinks its daryl?
