Okay.

I just didn’t want to publicly post a spoiler for the rest of the viewers.

:)

To be fair, if I were living on the run, never sleeping and starving, all the while, endlessly fighting off the living dead, I’d probably not be making consistently great decisions, either.

That’s sort of the appeal...the “realness” of the people.

There’s no super heroes who are immortal and invincible...they’re all too human and consequently, flawed.

That backlash wasn't against the violence. The backlash was that the violence was so cartoonish, it negated the emotional impact of losing such important characters.

Well, the producers said it was against the violence but I guess you know better than the people making the show.

BTW, I stopped watching it because of the violence.

Hey, if they are looking for a less violent show about the zombie apocalypse, then they should tune into Fear the Walking Dead. Boring, unlikeable characters; but, not quite as violent as the original.

I am still watching TWD, mostly because I have become invested in what happens to some of the characters. (Why did it have to be Glenn? I know, it is in the comics; but, that one hurt.) Fear the Walking Dead just didn't catch my interest the way the original did. Also, when shows run for such a long period of time, I think some episodes will not be up to the standard that we might like. It is hard to keep a really high standard going for a t.v. series that has lasted 7 seasons. Some episodes will be better than others.

Season 7a has been a let-down. TWD has not scripted Negan well. Too much comic book, not enough reality in the way he comes across. They need to flesh him out better.

The director(s) or producer(s) frequently make important things go by so quickly that they are missed. Also, some of the camera work could use improvement.

I recall the scene where the Negan bunch were burning something in a big pile at the end of an episode. The camera was too jittery to see what it was. We had to wait for TD to explain — Negan’s bunch were burning the mattresses they confiscated.

I suspect Michonne will be the one to eventually take on Negan.

I don't know but since Negan is the most evil, sadistic, psychopathic murdering basturd I've ever witnessed on TV, I hope the writers surpass Negan's over the top brain bashing in this past season's opener and create an even worse scenario for his demise.

Maybe a 15 minute segment of breaking every bone in his body from the waist up then cutting off his hands and applying tourniquets so he doesn't bleed to death and releasing him in a pen of walkers after gouging out one of his eyes and ripping out his tongue.......

I deliberately refrained from breaking his legs so that he at least had the ability to try to evade the walkers with his remaining eye..........

An interesting bit of trivia; Negan and Maggie play Batman’s parents in the “Batman v Superman” movie in a 30 second scene. TWD is not the only time these two have worked together.

My prediction: a full half season of talking to other than laces like Alexandria to try to enlist them in the uprising. Each episode another Alexandria. Snore.

Kill negan already

Or, he could get the comic end, which is a fate worse than death, for someone like him.

It isn’t the violence, it is the gratuitous violence on par with retarded 12 year olds.

The show is written by liberals, and it shows.

I don't think I could watch a death by tickling.........That's way over the top!

We’re watching episodes 7 and 8 because we can barely remember what happened. Why do these series take such long breaks?
