The Walking Dead (AMC) TV Show • Page 189

I liked Dale. I do think they weren't sure how to handle his character once Darabont left

 

Yeah I'd have to go back and check but I remember 3 and 4 of Fear being fantastic and I also said they were probably the best of any of the shows.

Which is crazy because after Season 2 I was almost completely out on Fear. I can barely remember what went on at the end of Season 2 tbh.

 

The actor for Dale wanted off the show after Darabont quit, but after they filmed his death he changed his mind and asked if they could re-film it and not kill off the character. AMC refused because of the cost of refilming the episode.

 

Dale's fault for not keeping a dumpster around in those fields

 

When watching the final scene of them eating dinner at Alexandria and was waiting on Rick to walk through the door saying "hey guys what's for dinner".

 

We finally finished this season out. They did a really really good job with it. It definitely made me feel some things.

I was hoping for but wasn’t expecting a Michonne/Rick update in the episode so I’m glad we got one. For a second I thought we were getting new info on Rick but then I realized they were showing us how he got that stuff onto that boat. That skyline is almost definitely Philly, so that’s exciting.

It also makes me wonder where exactly Michonne found that boat. If it was on the Delaware River outside of Philly, then Michonne shouldn’t have really found it where she did, as I think it was implied she went up into the Chesapeake Bay on her initial mission where she found the boat. There’s just no way the boat would have gotten there haha.

i really need to watch World Beyond and catch up on Fear.

 

Just did a rewatch of Fear where I pretended it was a show that only consisted of seasons 1-3, and that the third season’s finale was the planned ending to the series. It really elevated the experience for me. “Sleigh Ride” felt like a perfect episode of television (it’s still excellent regardless).

 

How. Why. How on earth will they justify bringing Rick back

Holy shit, Fear is ending with Season 8. Shouldn’t be a surprise, but still.

 

What do you mean? The plan was to always bring him back.

 

I can't believe there are gonna be three separate shows of Walking Dead characters

Redefining "milking it"

 

Dead City premiers tonight, I will be checking it out.

still way behind on Fear and need to watch World Beyond

 

No Dead City thoughts? lol

 

I liked it, but felt a little confused on timing and location and etc. I assume we’ll get more of the backstory on how we ended up where we are throughout the series but I didn’t like the choice of just being dropped into the middle of a story.

Didn’t enjoy the flashbacks during the dream!

 

I watched the first episode of the last season of Fear and it was so bad. I’ve been pretty good about getting through it all but yikes.

 

Honestly had zero clue that Dead City was already airing. I thought these spinoffs were still a long ways away.

 

Fear S8 is a step up from S7 for me, but that’s not a high bar. There’s been no complexity in the show’s writing for a long time, so I’m in the habit of hate-watching it now.

I thought the Dead City pilot was fine, but there’s probably some negative bias there since I’ve never cared much for Maggie or Negan.

 

Okay episode 2 was actually pretty good.

 

Same here.

Maggie’s over anger towards Negan seemed a big reach from how the main series ended.

Hopefully the new location keeps things interesting because it felt a little too much like the same thing first up

 

It was unusually strong this first episode. I don't think I can take a whole series of Maggie's anger towards Negan.

 

Episode 2 of Dead City was fun. They’re leaning into the early ‘90s action movie vibe and I’m here for it.

 

I’m just kinda tired of Maggie being mad at Negan. It was dealt with and they learned to move past it at the end of TWD. The writers do what they do best and just forget any character development in exchange of rehashing old drama.

Narratively, it’s just beating a dead horse and Dead City will be much better if they move on to a new inner conflict.

 

Wait, episode 2 is out already?

 

New eps drop on AMC+ the Thursday before they air on AMC

 

3 eps in on Dead City and I’m struggling to hold the enthusiasm.
