8 is coming in about a month according to the Mountain Dew cases I saw in the grocery store today. Anyone still in?
That's it. You can quit reading. The rambling that follows is just for folks that miss MJ.
Since I'm a cable cutter, I just finished Season Seven last night on Netflix and finished reading the two threads on the season. Did not seem like there was much enthusiasm left. Only a trickle of posts toward the end -- by my memory seems a huge difference compared to years past. Many also announcing they were out.
I found season 7 as many posted: mostly boring. The only good stuff was Negan and his folks, which was all very good. I don't care much about any of the old cast -- except Morgan. I'm sick of Rick, Carol, and Carl. I almost quit with the Love Story episode -- Rick and Michone scavenging the whole episode. Chemistry just didn't work for me. Boring. I'd rather watch the Notebook (I think, I've never seen it).
The epitome of boring was the opening of Episode 14. Five minutes with no dialog and just cinematography of people living in the Hilltop. It concludes with Rosita saying to Sasha "I came for your help." Which was a replay of the end of the previous episode. No point. Have the directors quit, leaving the cinematographers in charge?
Cartsman said it well:
I respected Michone till she told Rick in the love story episode that he'd be a great leader of the groups. No Michone, he is too f'n stupid. Stupid is inviting over and giving lots of guns to a flaky lady whom you've known for less than half an hour -- most of which time you really didn't get to know her cause she threw you in a pit with an armor clad zombie.
At first I wondered why Negan didn't kill Rick. It was because Negan knows Rick is too f'n stupid -- he outwits himself at every turn.
