Noah's face getting pulled apart is still the most gruesome of the lot for me.

God yeah. That was mental.
I thought it was all a bit much. It was uncomfortable viewing and probably over-egged it. It felt like Reagan said the same set of lines about 5-6 times in the end.
Anyway, Glenn actually survived.
.....
I think it was sort of a collective idea to go after Negan. At least from the main people in the group. I can remember a scene at Hilltop with at least Rick, Abraham and Daryl present where they all tell Jesus they'll sort out the Saviours for him in exchange for some sort of alliance.
I read that he really didn't like filming the scene but Negan looks like he's absolutely loving every second so kudos.Originally Posted by Alex
Is it just me who found the King Ezekiel stuff all very silly? I know they've had him explain the whole act he's putting on but I don't think I can get behind it.
"People want someone to follow", he says. OK, I can appreciate that. But in what world is that someone a ridiculously theatrical pretend King who talks like he's reciting Shakespeare all the time and has a pet tiger? Come on. Is that how quickly the people in the world have descended into totally idiocy? We're just making up "Kingdom's" now and getting in line behind pretend monarchs? Give me the foul-mouthed, baseball bat wielding mad man over that any day of the week.
That shit montage set to that bloody awful, choral Bob Dylan arrangement too. Especially Morgan's Mr. Miyagi-esque training scene with that new drip of a kid. And the continued insistence on totally ruining Carol as a character. Yeah, was not a fan of that episode.
He feels like a character you'd meet in Fallout.
Totally with you on the last part there - Morgan's training scene and I now find myself hoping Carole gets her face eaten off for being a stubborn muppet.
Was the last part Ezekiel making a booty call? I don't want to read about how fans are 'shipping' Carekiel or whatever shit people come up with now.
I'm calling it. This programme is a load of shit now. It's done a lost.
Avoid clicking if you haven't watched it.

I thought that was one of the better episodes, stuff actually happened to a few characters rather than them wasting an hour or longer on the same point being rammed home like last week.
Haven't watched this weeks episode yet but by christ was the fourth dull as shit, the fifth was better but it's still all just a giant barrel of 'meh'.
We're not actually going to get 12 seasons like the producers actually hope for are we? The plug needs to be pulled soon.
Comfortably the worst yet. You can just about get away with an entire episode focusing on one of the main characters when it involves the likes of Morgan/Lennie James opposite Eastman/John Carroll Lynch, not when it's some character you struggle to give a toss about.
I liked it.
Again, introducing more elements of the future Carl-led anti-Negen task force forged from the communities they are dependent on.
Quite how Carl is going to do it is another thing. Maybe his revenge attempt will just be a side note.
I thought it was really dull this week. The girl who plays Tara just isn't a good enough actress to get that kind of screen time. I'm not really sure we need yet another community introducing into the mix either. Although I guess, as Merse says, they're laying the groundwork for some sort of anti-Negan coalition of the willing.
I think it's good that they put focus on the lesser shown characters so you can really get to know Tara and Black Man With Dreads And Glasses
I think I should start watching these new episodes right before bed.
They're pretty effective at making me want to fall asleep.
I think the best thing to do going forward at this point would just be to re-tool the entire show as a sitcom revolving solely around Negan.
Comfortably the best episode of the season and the best in quite some time.
Olivia dead and Spencer technically getting killed twice
I almost came as much as I did when Denise died.
Horrifying mental images aside, I thought it was just OK. They've essentially stretched out 30 minutes of storyline into 7 episodes.
I don't even really feel they did a great job of building Negan up and showing his 'reign of terror'. I know they have shown him do terrible things to reinforce this, but nothing that's really been that powerful to me.
I've blasted through all of this show in about a month and a half and I'm still loving it. Came in here to read about it now I've caught up and you're all a bunch of miserable bastards.
You obviously just have no quality filter. Even the most enthusiastic fans I know are getting sick of it.
I haven't watched this season or the last two episodes of last season, and I doubt I ever will now. It had its moments but they're hidden in increasingly repetitive, badly written shit.
It's probably just being able to binge watch it. One or two episodes that don't have that much in them aren't that annoying as there are plenty more to go. Now that I'll be watching it week to week, I'll probably find it infuriating.
Not a bad episode but I still found myself hating it so much.
This new development with the junkyard faction they've met is awful, isn't it? I don't know why I moan, because I'm not going to stop watching it at this point. But still. "Oh, you've beaten the spike-armoured zombie in the pit of death? Then of course we'll help you mysterious new stranger". Fuck off. Why are they all talking like that as well? I hope Negan murders them all.
Aye, the way they talk was annoying me.
What the fuck were they all about.
Don't remember them from the comics, like we need another fucking stupid group after the fish lesbians earlier in the series.
More to the point, how have the Saviors not come across a scrap yard that size?
OK, they're doing it again. Why? Why are they fucking talking like that?
It's been, at most (judging by how old Judith looks) three years since the world "ended", and these cunts have all retreated to a junkyard and started talking in some broken form of English that sounds like it's been handed down through centuries of dwindling, post-apocolyptic generations.
You wouldn't do business with these people. Or, at the very least, you would tell them that they'll get their guns when they start talking in proper fucking sentences again.
Qurkiness init.
It's so fucking infuriating, I'm genuinely seething when they pop up.
Also hated that whole Rick and Michonne thing.
I didn't even realise it had started again.
Four episodes for tonight it is.
I'll add to that the whole desperately looking for weapons and ammo mission while wasting some sniper rifle rounds trying to hit a tin can.
It wouldn't be so dull if it didn't just focus on the group alone for a whole episode and no saviors. As cartoon villain as Negan is, it's a lot more entertaining when he's involved.
Yep, that was daft wasn't it?
I would also nominate Rick for his "I think I'll just leave this swarm of oncoming walkers unattended for a minute while I climb this dilapidated old ferris wheel and shoot a deer for Michonne" moment of absolute fucking genius.
The deer looked like it had been inserted into the scene in post-production by an eight year old with a copy of Microsoft paint too.
The deer was stunning, best thing they've ever done.
They must have spent their sfx budget on the tiger and then had $10 left over, split between the CTRL+V deer and the wide shot of Rick looking out over the dump that seemed to have been produced from the same technology that saw Jerry chase Tom past the same table every three seconds.
Is anyone having trouble finding this week's episode online?
I got it on Exodus @Boydy
So did I in the end but there weren't many versions available and the HD ones had hardcoded Spanish subtitles.
Yeah I just went with the subtitles.
So, it's fair to say this has been the worst season right? Or is that harsh? I don't think it is, but it's difficult to be objective this far in.
Also, The Saviours are quite clearly the better option at this point. It might get a bit medieval over there sometimes, but we are rebuilding society here, you have to start somewhere. At least they have rules to adhere to and consequences if they don't. Negan executes rapists, Rick robs helpless women of their only means of defence. Case closed.
I was starting to think that last night. After he killed that rapist I thought 'maybe he's not so bad'.
It is easily the worst season.
He's got principles at least.
My decision to bin this after the complete shambles of Glenn and the Magic Dumpster looks more and more pleasing. I've been continuing to check in to this thread to see if there was any raving about it that might bring me back, but it's essentially been either quiet or moaning. The pilot remains the best episode.
Another bullshit episode but at least it's over with for a bit now.

Those dump people were a really stupid addition, even for this show.
Stupid not, just smart.
WANKERS.
Right - I've powered through this show over the last couple of months.
Seasons 1-6: fantastic stuff
Season 7: fucking christ on a bike, the biggest jump-the-shark since the actual shark jump. What a load of fucking bollocks. A tiger? Fuck off. These junkyard cunts? COME ON!
So depressing. Why didn't Negan turn up with his whole crew and just fucking murder everyone? Dickhead. Instead he turns up with about six people and attempts to do a magic trick with a coffin for no fucking reason.
