The Walking Dead season eight

This week's was better because they cast actual actors as the villains, so they're better to watch. Makes a change from Rick and Daryl glowering all the time. Of course they still did pointless jumping around of the timeline (we already know why Gregory went to the Saviours, we didn't need it spelled out.)

That annoying naked trashheap barista chick gave me the laugh of the night when after yet another big rambling speech by Rick she just says "No." And then as they drag him away: "Talks too much."
 
Rick probably plans on the autism gang taking him to Negan alive. But they will be ambushed by Rick's group. Negan wanted Rick alive after all, if possible. When Rick's group sees Rick as a hostage they'll know that the dumpster doofuses didn't take Rick's offer so that's makes them target practice. Does Rick's group have enough people left to fight though? Ezekiel seemed to have the biggest group before they were mowed down in the most obvious opportunity for ambush ever.
 
I think the most annoying part of the coathanger naked art club is they have no logical point of origin or existence even in a zombie apocalypse. Rick's fight 'em all stance is plausible. Negan's iron fisted caste system, plausible. Even the nutty governor and the play acting kingdom are reasonable reactions to chaotic times. But people who have learned to hate complete sentences and dressing appropriately for life in a rusty tetanus factory? There is no plausible explanation for that. Especially since the minimalist approach clearly doesnt extend to Miss Clairol and her two tone skunkhead.
 
So they actually did kill an important character...unless it's a "Glenn hid under the dumpster!" situation and it turns out Carl was bit by some random living dude.

Why does the timeline have to be so needlessly confusing? Could anyone follow what the fuck was going on for most of the episode? What timescale they were operating on? It seemed like the Saviours were trapped inside for weeks and were starving and ready to overthrow Negan...but Eugene gets them out (somehow? It invovled music?) and they INSTANTLY easily defeat everyone else. Even after Rick and friends killed seemingly hundreds of them and their compound was stormed by zombies. Like does this make any sense on any level? Didn't Rick have people watching the Sanctuary? Nobody noticed them getting out until they were improbably burning everything down?

After spending like three episodes on Rick with the garbage people they just completely disappear in the first two minutes of the episode.

Why did they keep showing close-ups of Carol driving when she did fuck all the rest of the episode?

Nah, Carl is dead dead. I saw an article where the father was all angry because Gimple fired his son 3 weeks before his 18th birthday after promising the father that his son would be on the show another 3 years.

Edit: SPOILERS! OOPS!
 
I was wondering how they would deal with Carl. Seeing how the next comic storyline after this jumps ahead 3 years. It seems like the show is gonna stick with that. Between the actor going to college, and the time jump the decision to kill him off doesn't surprise me. He wasn't doing much lately anyway. The endless amount of saviors is definitely confounding.
 
So that dream Rick had where Carl was listening to Weird Al in the future really was just a dream and not another confusing flashforward?
 
It's back tonight/tomorrow. Predict how many episodes it'll be before Carl actually dies. My guess...four episodes.
 
I’ve stopped watching and I don’t miss it. Reading all your comments about the last few episodes has confirmed that. I stuck with it through the dull second season and beyond, but it’s just so unsatisfying nowadays. It’s a chore to watch.
 
I like when that one child whose name I sitll don't know managed to sneak up behind that Saviour and murder him without anyone seeing him coming.
