EternallDarkness Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Tonight is the night. I know they'll try hard, but I'm expecting zero emotional impact...just put him in the ground already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 That's why I quit watching. Once in a while, I'll read a bit to see which major characters die, but that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EternallDarkness Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 well that was even lamer than I thought and now explains the AMC 10 more years plan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 On one hand, genuinely shocked that they didn't pull the trigger on Rick and that's impressive. That said however, seeing what Scott Gimple had to say about their plans going forward...meh. Still though, what with the time jump and all, I'm intrigued where this all goes now with the introduction to the Whisperers. It does feel a bit refreshing when you lay it all out!

EternallDarkness Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 27 minutes ago, Mercury33 said: So they didn’t kill him? no here is what happened Spoiler As you may know he got impaled on rebar last week, he gets up, staggers to the bridge trying to lead the herd away, thinking the bridge would collapse, it doesn't. All the while he keeps having hallucinations/flashbacks. The rest of the group shows up and he sees they are going to try and rescue him but there are just too many walkers and he knows they will die. He sees dynamite on the bridge and shoots it, blowing the bridge to hell and himself along with it, or so everyone thinks. But he washes up down stream and is found by Ann (Jadis) who calls in the helicopter claiming she now has a B and wants their help saying him. He gets loaded into the chopper and he and Ann fly away. Then we jump 6 years into the future where there are a group of people fighting off some walkers, it looks bad for there, then suddenly bang bang bang bang a bunch of walkers go down and then group takes off toward the shots...where they meet a little 7 or 8 year old girl. Who are you? they ask. She bends over, picks up "THE HAT" and slaps in on her head. I'm Judith. Judith Grimes. they end. 5 hours ago, SoberChef said: Still though, what with the time jump and all, I'm intrigued where this all goes now with the introduction to the Whisperers.

Kal-El814 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 This show is still really popular, right? It’s the zombie equivalent of Big Bang Theory, where everyone on the internet takes a big shit on it, people generally like and watch it, and the ratings peaked a while back?

Bloodporne Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I hate this show but am genuinely curious to see the final episode for some morbid reason. Was this it? Did it finally drag its flogged-to-death carcass across the finish line? Was enough white trash merchandise pimped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodger Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I'm season 8 trying to get caught up but I find myself not really caring and only watching to see what they do with Rick. I can't imagine watching beyond that. I can't quite compare it BBT because Walking Dead actually was a good compelling show at one point. BBT is more like Everyone Loves Raymond. Somehow successful but I've never had anyone admit to liking it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratings are down, though. I don't get it from a narrative standpoint. It seems stupid. But this is the show that has one of the most stupid deaths of all time, with Beth.

Quote Once again, “The Walking Dead” was far and away the highest-rated program on cable for the night and ranked behind only NFL coverage and “60 Minutes” on broadcast. https://variety.com/2018/tv/news/walking-dead-ratings-season-9-episode-3-1202990109/ Maybe because it's still way ahead of every other show on tv?

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I don't see how. But then, Americans are stupid and love stupid entertainment like BBT. And it still doesn't change the fact that it was dumb from a narrative standpoint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skillzdadirecta Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Wow... they are literally going to run this show into the fucking ground. That was one of the worse bait and switches Ive ever seen... I wonder if they'll Spoiler Ever tell the story of Rick's brother who was in Europe during the zompacalypse who am I kidding, of COURSE they will.

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 There's definitely such a thing as dragging out a show too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimpleG Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 To be fair to AMC they never said he was gonna die just that it was his last episode. AMC is too weak to actually to do any thing interesting with this show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They know the network will want them to go far longer than that though. The Walking Dead never got as good as it could have and it's clear it never will. Every once in awhile it gets close to being great, then they do something so blatantly stupid that it negates all of the good things it had done. This very episode was a perfect example because there was some stuff I actually liked. Then they pulled that bullshit it at the end They still haven't learned that fans HATE fake outs.
