The walking dead
- Thread starter Shamoan
- Start date
This season has been way better than the last 3 or 4. But what is it about shows going too long and relying on the 3 minute slow music montage? Sons of Anarchy did that crap too. I used to just fast forward through the first 10 minutes because it. Also don't know if any of you are watching The Punisher but doesn't it seem like Jon Bernthal is channeling his inner Rick Grimes? I swear if you close your eyes you'd swear Frank Castle is about to yell Caaaarrrlll.
I watched last nights 90 minute episode in about 30 minutes. I guess I missed some stuff, since everyone was talking about what an awesome job Chandler Riggs did last night carrying the show, but I got the gist. I thought Carl was a goner after wrestling those Walkers in the woods, and I guess it turns out he was.
BTW, if you check out Chandler Riggs on twitter, Carl is definitely gonzo. Riggs says it wasn't his decision, but he agrees with the direction they are going with the story. Riggs' dad, OTOH is a little pissed that his meal ticket is drying up. He says that Chandler just bought a house in GA after Gimple told him that they were extending the show for at least 3 more seasons and wanted him to be a part of it. Two weeks later, he was "fired."

After the last few
episodes, I've about come to the decision I'm dumb.
The way theyve had had things happen is completely stupid.
I mean Maggie and about 20-30 people are heavily armed and just give up without a fight, to 20 or so folks?

I thought the first half of the 90 mins last 17 days last night, 2nd half was enjoyable.
but basically the only reason I'm still watching is because I've watched since day 1.
Cant remember the name of the show , it was late and had a cpl drinks, but AMC showed a preview of a new show coming up after the first of the year that looked really interesting. Seems like it was set in an early American war. That's my favorite era of history so I'm looking forward to seeing more.

Was it The Terror? I'm really looking forward to that. The book by Dan Simmons was great. It's about the failed Franklin Expedition, but with a supernatural/ horror twist.
i watched the 8 episodes in 2 days. it was pretty lame. Here we have the walking dead and nobody gets killed by walkers anymore. hell they havent even had a real swarm of walkers since the prison. where did they all go? its just people killing people now!
This makes me think you missed something watching those episodes so quickly.....
I tapped out after last season. I thought the episode where Negan killed Glenn and Abe was great, but then I thought they had zero sense of urgency for the rest of the season after that. It was like they got their one big episode in and felt like they didn’t have to try as hard anymore.
I will admit, I was never a big serialized TV fan until 4-5 years ago. I caved and got Netflix just to see what all the fuss was about with some of these different shows. TWD was the first one I watched and I thought it was the gold standard of TV when I got done. Now, after binging several other shows and truly seeing what a great TV show looks like, my opinion of TWD keeps getting lower and lower. Shows have to evolve and change over time if they want to maintain long term success, but this show just hasn’t.

Agreed. Why do they talk like that?
It's not like they were all born into a tribe full of people that never spoke English.
They were all in the United States when this whole ZA started a year or 2 ago... why has their language become what it is?
Just doesn't make sense.

He's still got 1 more episode left...he does something in Ep 9, not sure what. There is a Facebook spoiler fan page, The Spoiling Dead Fans Army, and they have a source on the inside that gives them weekly spoilers, and it's exactly to script every week. They follow filming schedules, character sightings, etc...
They also got wind back in October that Carl would likely be killed in Ep 8, but it was unconfirmed. He hadn't been on set in weeks, so that kind of solidified their theory. They came out last Wednesday or Thursday and said they wouldn't be doing a spoiler Q&A for the mid-season finale, and said they would explain why on Monday. They did...

TSDF Explains It All.... We promised we would share our reasons for not posting/confirming any spoilers for the midseason finale. We're here to follow through on our word, buttercups. This decision to purposely not spoil anything about episode 8.8 was something we have never done, mostly because the circumstances we faced were something we've never experienced before. Back in October we posted some tracking information about Carl's possible demise on our forum and private FB group. Since at the time we weren't 100% sure if this was correct, we heavily labeled it as unconfirmed. Later we would learn that our suspicions were correct and Carl was indeed a goner. Fast forward to just a few weeks ago. Much to our surprise Chandler Riggs reached out to us with a very heartfelt request. He knew it was only a matter of time before we would be able to publicly confirm what we knew. He respectfully asked us not to spoil the reveal at the end of episode 8.8. His performance throughout the episode heavily weighed on what was revealed in the last three minutes. We were blown away by his maturity and class. We're attaching a screenshot of what he said. While we have always believed in not withholding confirmed spoilers, this situation definitely tested those values. The way we saw it, we had a choice. We could ignore the request and continue to do what we do by confirming Carl's death, or we could honor Chandler, the young man who we watched grow up on our television screens for the past eight years. We could give him the biggest send-off we possibly could simply by shutting our mouths. We chose to honor Chandler. While not everyone has respected Chandler recently, we feel it was the right thing to do for someone who has been a prominent part of the show since its pilot. You might disagree with this decision, but as far as what TSDF does, it was our decision to make. Conscience is not governable by committee. This is certainly not a situation we have faced before. For those of you around during the Lucille Victim chaos, you might remember that we said at the time that if the show would have simply reached out to us rather than attempting legal action, it could have turned out differently. The only time anyone from the show reached out to us was through AMC lawyers or investigators and full of legal threats and hostilities. Chandler's approach was much different. He treated us like fans, not enemies. So it turned out differently. With this decision we reminded ourselves of what we are: fans first. While we believe Chandler owes us absolutely nothing, we did make one request. We asked him to write a message to our community members at TSDF. He kindly obliged and this is his message to our members:
dear tsdf: i don’t really know how to start this other than saying thank you. though we (cast & crew) have kinda always been super frustrated with this community, seeing how dedicated you all are to the show over the last few weeks really gives me a new appreciation for you all. up until 701, i hated seeing our hard work getting leaked-but once 701 aired with a large chunk of the fanbase knowing what would happen, it made me realize that knowing what happens doesn’t always take away the integrity of the show. though many people knew who was going to die, they still cried and shook in terror seeing the characters they loved getting killed. that being said, i reached out to ninja a few weeks ago asking to not reveal the end of 808, since a lot of my performance relied on how the episode ends. ninja & shiny knew that they would take a lot of heat from this decision, but them caring more about how i felt towards this episode than their reputation gave me a massive new level of respect and appreciation towards them. and seeing how dedicated and consistently excited you all are about the show despite the drastic decrease in twd’s ratings made me the most excited about this episode than i’ve been in years. though i don’t necessarily approve of the spoiler content being released on this forum, fans like you are the reason that i’ve had a job for the last 8 years. people like you have given me the chance to live my dream, and have given me the opportunity to go on to do bigger and more exciting things than twd. you all have let me make you shake in nervousness in fear of your most beloved character in danger, yell in excitement at a victory for "the group", scream at your television in frustration of carl "not staying in the house" (also please stop yelling that at me at conventions lmao), and cry out of empathy when your favorite character suffers a grave loss. and now, i invite you to be excited to see how carl’s story ends, and how my story continues to unfold both musically & theatrically. thank you again for giving me this opportunity of a lifetime. i won’t let you down. –chandler ----------------------------------------
