Get what you mean re Carl being bitten doing something we don't give a shit about. I think the future of the group might actually be with Maggie... and her son (of course, it will be a boy!). And let us not forget Carol. The women seem to have their heads screwed on far better, generally; with men it's so much about ego. <br /><br />You're right, Negan's a brilliant character, as is Simon. Y'know, I always used to think that Rick was a bit of a twat, etc, but when I started watching it all over again (and over...), I found I liked him more and had more respect for him. If it wasn't for him, they wouldn't have had the prison, for instance. He makes mistakes, yes; but Alexandria would have been ravaged by the Wolves and the quarry Walkers, anyway, and, if not, discovered by the Saviours long ago. <br /><br />Thanks for your long and interesting comment! As for me working out the timeline, just call me a TWD obsessive. Proud to be so, ha ha!

I stil...Hubby cannot be a true believer then ;) ;D<br /><br />I still love Rick, but yes.... we need an end to the Negan thing now.

I’ll get to the minor points soon, but my take on the big event of this, the best episode of season 8 so far …<br /><br />Carl has been bitten and he is going to die. The Twitterverse is in tears of mourning over this turn of events but I’m totally okay with it—that is, in regards to the show killing off a huge fan favourite character that has been there since the beginning. The way this season has been floundering and losing ratings, a death of this magnitude is EXACTLY what we need. My problem is that they got the wrong guy. That kid was the future of The Walking Dead: he was going to take over from Rick and lead this bunch of survivors onto bigger and better things. Carl’s character is still alive, well, and kicking serious arse in the comics, and the creators have now just disposed of an opportunity to take this show on a new and exciting path. Boo on them.<br /><br />It’s great this character is dying by way of walker bite (I’m with you here, Terry, the zombies need to be more deadly than they have been of late), but I think it’s lame as hell that Carl gets bitten while doing “the right thing” for some guy we neither know nor care about. For all Carl has given us over the course of seven and a half seasons he should have gone down in a blaze of glory; rescuing Judith, or Michonne, or saving his father’s tired arse.<br /><br />But for now, our gang’s future rests in the capable hands of Maggie. Loved her scenes in this episode, and she might have to step up and take over because Rick may well become a burned out mess with the death of his son. And I’m liking Negan more and more—not as in going over to his side and routing for him—but just because of his dialogue, wit, and mannerisms. Perhaps the most entertaining character on the show right now.<br /><br />Oh, and I don’t mind waiting until February for episode 9 … because Vikings is back.Dylan J Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11577547144226502127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513470670765405287.post-26113151608021245132017-12-12T08:17:37.119-08:002017-12-12T08:17:37.119-08:00Sad to say this episode was a let down for me afte...Sad to say this episode was a let down for me after last week and even hubby, a die hard TWD fan has said he doesn't think he'll be watching when it returns. The Negan storyline has been going on too long and all the missed opportunities in this week's episode had me shouting at my TV.<br /><br />Come the zombie apocalypse I want to be far, far away from Rick Grimes!K9-Dreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16882829247049805585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513470670765405287.post-44712149454233966312017-12-12T01:27:32.718-08:002017-12-12T01:27:32.718-08:00O M G!!!!!!!

I even said 'wow, Carl should be a motivational speaker when he grows up' - I should have known! I literally hid behind my hands when that dude jumped out at Michonne but then she sorted him out, phew! Too many thoughts to process, too many emotions, but SO glad Daryl's got his angel wings back xShelley Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07513209160436996810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7513470670765405287.post-5446070056736244842017-12-12T00:28:31.100-08:002017-12-12T00:28:31.100-08:00Wow....😥😥😥😥Carl.
