They keep doing this, and it's so bad. Who was that kid that died? They tried to get viewers to sympathize with Maggie and parents, but there's no connection. They simply used his death as a reason to kill Gregory.
Last night was a perfect example of how shitty this show has become. They spent 20 minutes on the death and funeral of a character (and his family) who I didn't even know existed
"The Walking Dead" season 9 premiere lost half its ratings from last year, lowest ratings since 2010 SpoilerTV - The Walking Dead - Ratings, Articles and Episodes S09E01 - 6.08 S08E01 - 11.44 S07E01 - 17.03 S06E01 - 14.63 S05E01 - 17.29 S04E01 - 16.10 S03E01 - 10.87 S02E01 - 7.26 S01E01 - 5.35
Wish this was the final season so I could just watch it and get it over with. Knowing that it will likely keep going is preventing me from even wanting to watch this season. I've hate-watched the last three lol
I think I watched about 60% of the premiere. That was generally about how I was the 2nd half last year There's plenty of episodes in a season that this show never needs to be more than an hour long
Those are still good numbers, but I always wonder how many of those people are just tuning in because they've invested this much time so far that they feel obligated (guess it doesn't matter either way, but still).
I just finished watching this episode and already forgot the kid that died. What a stupid waste of time that was.
This show really needs to learn that you can transition from scene to scene without first going to commercial.
