Walking Dead Midseason Finale

[militarydog]

No spoilers. However for the first time in a long time they actually made a fairly eerie episode. One of the best episodes I’ve seen in a while. I had been watching simply out of obligation because I was invested. However this episode got me back interested. Well done.

Agreed. The writing took a big step forward and I’m glad my wife insisted we watch it tonight.

Just finished watching it. Like many of you, I watch out of habit, and also because my wife insists. Very creepy episode tonight, and “that moment” at the end will definitely be good for a jump scare for some. Tonight was a great episode, and I’m actually looking forward to February.

Yeah it was pretty cool but they could have gone a different way with the ending. There are a **** pile of useless characters on that show they need to kill but instead they want to go for the stupid shock value with the good ones. That leaves you with a show full of meh or unlikeable characters. This season has been better as far as the writing but there are about 3 characters left that don’t suck so now they are 17ed. Good ones are leaving and the ones they are introducing to replace them are straight meh. They straight wasted Jesus as a character in the past 2 seasons.

I don’t know if it was a great jump in writing over

Getting back to the original formula. The storyline with the saviors veered off track and made the show not much different than many other shows with so called hero’s and villains. Last night the enemy returned to the storyline that made the show popular... well just with a new twist for the folks that haven’t seen it.

one question I have... where did the guns go? They are back to primitive weapons. You still have Eugene for bullets. What’s up with that?

Did any of y'all see the talking dead with the second half season preview? Going to be an interesting angle with Negan.

Thought it was pretty good but speaking of Jesus, it was one thing to carry the name of Jesus, it's a whole other thing to think you're Chuck Norris there at the end. Color me impressed when he drives an early 80's Dodge Ramcharger out of a hole after being buried alive

What happened regarding Negan? Also, for those that read the comics, have they completely veered away from the comics plot or just adjusted due to the death of Carl and “death” of Rick?

So as not to ruin it for anyone that has not yet seen it...

Spoiler

If you watched the mid season finale you saw him attempting to escape. He was evidently successful as it shows him back at his main compound saying "Home Sweet Home" and doing that whistle they do when chasing somebody.

Spoiler

Rick gave the Saviors all of the good guys' guns, then Eugene blew them up with sabotaged bullets when the Saviors went to shoot the good guys. (I don't know if those guns can be repaired)

I'm losing interest. There's an obvious direction the show is headed now. And I'm finding it hard to relate to the new characters, or to the new all-female leadership roles.
