I fell asleep on this episode.

Ha, me too. Had to rewind it. Worst episode this second half season.
Yeah it is pretty bad. Several people I know have quit this season. I'm still hanging in there for reasons I can't explain.

Jesus Z Christ, yes. When this show is good, it's really fun to watch. But when it's bad, it's really bad. The worst TV on my weekly schedule. The absolute WORST.
Here we have yet another episode where terrible lines are being read by actors with dubious abilities. I can't tell if these actors are shit or if they're just bored out of their minds. Rosita is such a smokeshow, but I have no faith in her ability to emote anything other than whatever that sneer she does is trying to convey.
The only thing this stinker of an episode was missing was a shitty song over a montage. Did that happen? Because I literally did fall asleep in the middle somewhere.
You have this wonderful playground to create good characters and stories, but you waste it on shit like this? This show really fucking limits itself. It is the worst zombie thing ever. I need to watch Return of the Living Dead again...
Not sure but the way I see it there is two scenarios going down. ONE is Rosita is gonna be captured and Negan is gonna tell Eugene to kill her to show loyalty or something like that. I get the feeling Eugene is gonna die as well putting an end to the whole Abraham arc because right now the show has too many characters.
I mean Negan knows Eugene is full of shit and is clearly using him for something else since they took the Hilltop doctor.That or Dwight does turn on Negan and Eugene becomes the new Dwight. Dwight is too much of a wildcard at tgis point he can go either way.
Jyst my opinion though lol Im probably wrong.

I record it then start watching it 30 min after the begining of the episode. That way, I skip all lthe commercials and finish watching roughly at the same time it ends... My 2 cents.
on the show itself, yeah, it's gotten prety boring and if I wasn't so "invested" in it, I would've dropped it too.

I was kinda hoping this episode would keep up the momentum of last week's, but looks like that didn't happen from the reactions in here. I had to miss it, but sounds like I didn't miss much if anything.
Next season, I'm probably going to watch only season premiers and finales.

It was nicely done but should have happened on the way instead of that stupid light a car on fire scene. It made the sniper stuff ridiculous.
You can guess them because they'll always be a B regardless of quality. He gave this episode a B. This was one of the worst episodes I've seen on any show. What would the show have to do to get a F?
He is way better than the "bad guy" working the kingdom thats for sure.

He and Negan are the only things saving this garbage season.

It was boring and ridiculous, but it wasnt that bad
He just hasn't been seen since episode 9 is all. Hopefully he gets some decent screen time these last two episodes.
SDCowboy
Member
But I mean, even with episode 9, he's gone from being one of the established main characters, to not even a background character. At most, he'll occasionally be an out of focus cast member in the background now, but usually not even that. That doesn't seem a bit odd to you?

Probably in school or something
Chandler has to balance school along with filming. Maybe he was busy during the filming of the back half of this season.

Fair enough. I hope he gets some more screen time with Negan. I liked their dynamic.

? or do you think we will jump right into
I have a hard time believing that they can wrap up the Negan Saga in 2 episodes.
I don't mind the slow burn in this series. The comic is the same way. I love the character interactions and world building. I'am sure ratings will pick up for the next arc. I guess this arc didn't translate well to TV for some people.

Probably just dividing his time between work and school. If he isn't in college yet, he will be this year.

I want more Negan and Simon. I couldn't care less about any of the other characters.

I'm thinking: (COMIC SPOILERS)
This season's finale will be the kick-off of the "All Out War" arc, and, at a minimum, it will play out through the first half of S8, with the time jump in the middle. Wouldn't be shocked to see them drag it out through all of S8 and put the time jump between 8 and 9, though, knowing AMC.

This show is now on Heroes level for me. The show I hate watch because I'm already in too deep.
They really need to trim the episodes down to 10 a season and tell tighter stories.

I might even say 8 and cut out the mid-season break nonsense. All that does is encourage dragging out story lines. I'm totally fine with the character development episodes, but they are barely doing those anymore. Every episode just seems designed to delay all the interesting stuff to the finale.
SDCowboy

They need their own show.

I think AOW is going to take up either half of season 8 or all out it. I'm leaning more towards all of it because having a huge time skip in the middle of a season seems weird to me
Ya I'm the same way. I'm used to it at this point cause of the comic. Honestly it's not like these two arcs the show has been adapting were all the exciting in the comic either. A lot of it was just as slow as the show and we had to wait month to month for that shit. At least with the show we're only waiting a week between episodes.

Nothing else i can add that hasn't been said already. This show would be more tolerable if could just binge watch the entire season but waiting months for netflix without being spoiled is impossible.

That was a so-so episode. But damn that Simon character is a lot of fun to watch.

They're just about the only characters the writers haven't managed to make completely boring so far.

what the fuck, that episode sucked
the music in the cold opening does not sound like it is for an apocalyptic show at all. Maggie also doesn't look pregnant.
There's a whole lot of talking the episode which I guess is fine but nothing really important happens until the literally the last 5 minutes and we don't even get a concluding note on it, another cliffhanger which makes this episode feel like another slow, long filler episode
edit: also...bitch ass Eugene. So much for him putting on act.

Eugene's radio call was the best part of the episode though.

which is pretty fuckin sad when you think about it.
Maggie is not as far along as you would think. Hardly anytime has passed this season and there was only like a couple months that passed between S6 episode 9 and 10. So she's probably only been pregnant like 2 maybe 3 months at this point.
The Artisan

she's been getting herself checked out often as if more time has come along. 2-3 months or not, she doesn't look pregnant at all.
One of my main takeaways from this episode is that Eugene was not pretending to like his new place and role, as many of us thought. I was hoping he was working a long con, and he would be key further down the road to toppling Negan. But what we saw in this episode actually makes more sense for what we know of his character. He's a coward with a strong survival instinct.
Eugene attached himself to Abraham in order to survive. He's doing the same with Negan. It's disappointing, but maybe he will have another chance to tip the scales in some way later.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Well once you know, you would just monitor it regularly to watch for complications. You don't ignore checkups until 8 months along or something. And she's still early, she'd barely have a bump at this point, especially given how skinny she is to begin with.
The Artisan
Member
Because she was having problems remember? I don't know enough about pregnancy to know what she should be looking like at 2-3 months. But kinda too soon for a baby bump I believe.
The Artisan

perhaps you're right.

Still watching but this show is so frustrating at times. The desperate suicide mission makes no sense when everyone is planning to fight the saviours anyway.
