The Walking Dead Season 8 - Is anyone watching anymore?
Quote | Reply
I remember in the "Golden Days" of The Walking Dead, coming to the LR every Monday after the show aired just to read people's impressions and get the latest predictions on what is going to happen next. Has the show gone that low? Is anybody interested in keeping the conversation alive? Should I go to Reddit for TWD conversations?

I watched it last night. And if you held a gun to my head I would have a very hard time remembering what happened.

I was glad to see that Carl stayed dead.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

It was much watch TV for me on Sunday night. Now it sits on my DVR and I'll watch it eventually.

I know. I feel the same way. I just want it to end. They don't seem to be able to advance the plot... And it really shouldn't be that difficult.

Only watching now as it's great trainer fodder and I'm sort of invested just to see how it ends. Absent the trainer time, unlikely I'd watch it. I honestly have no clue - and worse don't care - where anyone is anymore, and who gets it.

It makes you wonder if the writers have ADD or if they have been watching the previous seasons.

I only watch on Netflix, it's my trainer time TV, so I'm a season behind. But from what I've heard Season 8 is kinda, meh.

I just read the recap, and I was right. I forgot about the whole doctor getting killed thing. Why did we spend so much time on him the last few episodes just to have him killed with nothing coming from it?

The guy writing the recap said this, which seems to sum it up pretty well, "It's quite frankly pathetic to see this show fall so low, and a clear reflection of just how poorly written, directed and produced AMC's zombie drama has been lately. They desperately need new blood and I'm more worried than ever that simply shuffling the deck of current producers and writers won't cut it."

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

At this point, I don't see how the show could possibly be rehabbed into something remotely representative of its former glory. Hell, I can't even think of an interesting or satisfying conclusion to the series if it were to happen in the next 1-2 seasons. I really just don't care about the plot or the characters anymore.

I typically backlog the show and start it 20 minutes late to skip the commercials. Last night, I paid so little attention that I was 45 minutes in before realizing that I hadn't even skipped through the commercial breaks.

I stopped watching for a while and then picked began again, but stopped when they reached Alexandria. Now I occasionally read the plot synopses on Wikipedia, IMDB, whatever,

I'm willing to read the threads about it without watching it. I'm just waiting for the bat guy to be killed, which I'll watch then I'm done with the series. Plenty of better stuff on TV these days.

I agree with the above, plus, pet peeve of this season: why have they filmed most of it in a dark room at midnight with the lights off and the lens cap still on the camera? Half the show you don't watch, you listen to a black screen.

Haven't noticed that, either I really am not paying attention, or maybe your tv needs some adjustments?

I thought Carls death was dumb. Not sure what Negan's plan is looks like he is going to go in and try to create zombie inside the hilltop compound? Dump people met a undramatic ending, but still think the leader will be back, and has a good stash in the dump. Loved how she took care of all the walkers.

Had to go to wiki, to see how many years this is suppose to be later, and I thought I read like only 3 which I think is part of the problem, we have watched for 8yrs and are only 3 yrs in. I gotta believe though 3 or 4 yrs in the Govt will have established some areas of controls, would be interesting to see some of the more organized community development, but that might take it away from a zombie killing tv show.

Don't watch the spin off, but I heard they were going to do some crossover, not sure I would even know if it happened, but spinoff's and crossovers are a sure sign the end is near.

I think this season is one big social experiment.

The writers and producers have decided to knowingly write the worst, mind numb8ng, boring, non-sensical stories they can are are laughing all the way to the bank at the sheeple, me included, that continue to watch this drivel.

Can Neegan die already?

You bumping this thread alerted me to the fact that I didn't watch last night's episode. In fact, I didn't even give it a passing thought. I guess I've finally reached disengaged status, and should probably exit the bus here.

I actually thought last night's episode was better than most this season.

I watched the first season with Negan and haven't been able to bring myself to watch anymore. I finally deleted the show from my DVR last night.

Yeh, I thought so too. I can kinda see where they're going now at least. This series needs to find an end soon or it's going to lose me. I'm already watching out of sense of obligation only now.

TWD was the lead in for the premiere of The Terror last, last weekend. I ended up watching The Terror first and it's far better than TWD. Still haven't watched that TWD episode.

Think about that for a second. I live in the country. Apparently right on the path for med flights. I can hear the helicopter coming for miles. There is no way you are keeping a helicopter secret in that universe. I'm all for suspending disbelief, but not for accepting stupidity.

Dude, a zombie fell down a flight of stairs, and none of the dozens of people sleeping on the floor next to the stairs woke up. Clearly, the physics of sound have changed along with the physics of zombies.

I've just about given up on TWD, i'm just hanging on hoping to see Negan get killed so i get some closure.

Imho Fear the Walking dead is a much better watch, maybe because it's not so old and stale.
