The farm season felt like 10 seasons, so I can take pretty much anything the show throws at me now.
So, the shitshow is back.
It's aired in the UK (I think) but as it's the first episode I'll be cautious with the tags.

All of them - Nuclear bomb.
It's what I'm hoping for at least.
I should have read your spoiler before even bothering, Mahow. Meh.
"You, are about to shit your pants"
"Not really mate, because we're locked in this room together, I've got this submachine gun and all you've got is that baseball bat with a bit of barbed wire wrapped round it....."
Surely it wouldn't take that much effort to stop fuck ups like this making it out of the writing room? Jesus.
I'm wondering whether to bother at all with this season. I'm still pissed off that tiger saved Coral.
Whoever sniped the lookout earlier in the episode would have been handy when their main target was then allowed to ramble on for half an hour completely exposed in broad daylight.
Anyone watched this week?
It's even worse than last week.

"Remember this guy who played a minor role in the first season? No? Well, anyway, he's back. And guess what? He's with The Saviours now! Isn't that a great twist!"
I liked Rick trying to jog our memories too.
"You're Morales, from Atlanta".
Nope, still nothing.
I thought it was one of the worst episodes of anything I’ve ever seen.
I had no idea who half the people were, what they were supposed to be doing or where they were.
Totally aimless and utterly shite.
It was indeed a very badly put together hour of television.
Even Andrew Lincoln seems to be giving up. I usually find him to be quite a good actor, but his attempts to portray Rick's inner anguish when he's looking into that conveniently placed mirror (which was about as heavy handed a "look what you've become!" moment as I've ever seen) over the babies cot were terrible.
Ezekiel is the worst character on the show, and probably the worst character on television in general.
I thought last week's episode was alright but that was shit. Hadn't a clue what was going on for most of it.
Shit again.
Although I did lol at Morales deciding to go off on a huge monologue whilst conversing with Rick and then asking why Rick wasn't saying anything.
Also lolled at 'NOT ONE' and then someone unloading the bollocks at them with the M2 Browning.
'Badass' Tara is a dick too.
And it's a good thing that they managed to find unlimited ammo guns that don't even need reloading. Really handy for this war.
The only good bits were:
Daryl walking in and casually shooting Morales in the back with his crossbow, Rick's shocked "Do you know who that was!?" reaction and Daryl just basically saying "Yeah, don't care, have you found the guns or what?", basically echoing the thoughts of the shows entire audience.
And:
Daryl shooting that bloke in the head at the end of the episode after he told Rick what he wanted to know, even after Ricks big speech about how he would let him go.
So I suppose what I'm trying to say is that Daryl is the only redeeming feature the show has left.
Just put on this weeks episode, these Ezekiel speeches get increasingly cringeworthy as it goes along. Someone would just tell him to shut the fuck up.
I mean, people are calling this guy "your majesty" with a straight face. Ridiculous.
It makes no sense at all.
It's almost as bad as the junkyard lot losing language in what, 6 years?
I proper lolled at the dickheads lining up nicely for Carol to go right through them as well as THE KING finding the only guns in the whole show with no bullets.
Also didn't get the guy taking THE KING on a jolly with loads of walkers behind them, just shoot him and be done with it.
Same goes for the lock, smashing it constantly with an axe when 2 bullets (the dickheads had one and so did a walker) would have done the trick. They're also incredibly dense for not just running when a horde is on them although the writers would increase their speed once more.
I really hope all these superfluous lot get fucking croaked ASAP. It's just so unbelievably bad.
I think I'm here for your confession
Is one of the worst lines spoken on the show for me.
Eugene can please fuck off.
Also, what mongs Daryl and Rick are. Fighting and getting their shit blown up so the Kingdom lot (dickheads anyway so give a fuck, died for nothing).
Did like the reveals into Negan's past life though.
I quite liked that episode this week. I think it was just because it had lots of Negan. He's far and away the best character in it.
I'm so glad I dropped this show after the first episode of last season. It's gone.
I binned it before that, and am similarly glad. I've seen about three minutes of clips and glimpses scenes while channel hopping and every one has featured what would be comfortably the worst line of dialogue in any decent show.
I'm still persevering with it, but now in a kinda of detached, morbid way.
It must be proper arsewater now then, because you were well up for Glenn's magic dustbin.
Just caught up to the episode with the kings tiger being taken down by a total of what 6 walkers..
Utter gash.
The shootouts were cringeworthy enough but the part where Rick is chasing down the truck with the guns in was just straight out of a 80s action movie ffs.
People can headshot a lone walker with a pistol from half a mile away but give them a semi automatic and they can't hit anything from 10 yards...
The latest one was absolute bollocks, I need the trash people to die already.
It was good to see that the postal service is still going strong though, so many letters delivered in the intro.
Urgh. This is hard work lads.
At least it's the mid-season finale next week.
This sounds like the worst season by far from what I've read. Why are you putting yourself through it?
I suppose it's out of some sort of misguided need to see it through to the end. You're absolutely right to question it though, because there is no end it sight. It's not like this is the last season, and I only need to hang on a few more weeks. I believe they plan to let it run and run. So I'm not sure why, in short. I never used to accept that "hate watching" was an actual thing, but that is, essentially, exactly what I'm doing at this point.
It's as good as it's ever been, maybe even better? I particularly like the way they really make you think about things, like whether it's the dump folk or Eugene who have the worst dialogue in the history of TV.
I thought he was going to end his conversation (well I don't think Gabriel got a word in) with WOOOOO.
He's such a twat.
The early episodes of Gotham beat it on that count.
The best way to have them start writing towards a finish line and make it easier for you to see it through would be to stop watching it now. AMC won't fuck it off until the audience begins to shrink enough to make it untenable financially, and the producers very obviously don't have the artistic pride to end it before then for creative reasons.
Is the spinoff more of the same or does it benefit from not having to follow the set path of the comics?
I've heard that it's better, I doubt there's much in it though.
It was supposed to show how things went to shit by going back to the beginning and taking a slower path through the fall of society, but then one episode ended with a single zombie and the next opened with everyone living in a walled community protected by very obviously insufficient border patrols.
I gave up on the spin-off after the first season. It wasn't good, but then again the main show still was at the time. So I suppose there's a fair chance the spin-off is now the better of the two.
The first two seasons are shit but the third is top quality apparently.
That were proper shit.
I'm completely lost as to what the writers have tried to do with the trash people right now, they're entire arc has been near pointless.
Also, I highly doubt that Carl is going to die. Something will happen that enables them to cure him or partially cure him.
Did they explain how the Saviours got out of their situation any more than just saying Eugene's name?
I still watch this and legit have no idea what’s happening anymore or what either sides plan was.
Oh and I proper lolled at Eugene taking a shot of red wine and struggling as if it was a strong whisky.
