The Walking Dead - TV Series on AMC ( Comic and Un-aired Spoilers unwelcome!)

[a-dev]

I'd seen his stuff on youtube before but never clicked until today that it was Aaron from Walking Dead.

As a huge fan of the story (comic and TV)

This season has been a travesty.....the comics this arc comes from is also a terrible run for the story. How many times can we be assaulted with the same story episode after episode. The saviors take stuff.....it makes everyone mad. Repeat.

Clearly we are seeing greed taking over at AMC and it will be the death of the show, as it has been with many great shows before it. The sheer volume of selling (commercials and product tie ins) is overwhelming at this point. Talking dead is now nothing but a constant commercial for related products.

The sad thing is , the end of this arc is really interesting. But unless the cram all the good stuff in the last episode, there is not way they have enough time to set up what is needed to tell the battle story this season. If they they to it will not have the impact needed. If they wait till next season, we get a ton more of these awful filler episodes.

They are killing the show.......one episode at a time.

It's actually the reason I bailed on it completely after the utter dog **** ending it was given.

Excellent post. You nailed it

When it comes right down to it, comics, tv shows, whatever, are basically the same things over and over again.

I know people (and not just women) who have watched the same soap opera all their lives. I used to watch them when I was younger and home during the day. Maybe that's why I'm more accepting than others.

I know nothing of the comics. Are they still making new ones?

AMC could save TWD if they made each season 10 episodes.

The last I heard Kirkman wanted 300 issues and it's at 162 right now, but yes it's ongoing.

I think she meant around which issue of the comics is the show at right now ... approximately.

About 115?

Yeah the All Out War storyline was crap and boring as hell. Too much hype and not enough pay off IMO.

How does the comic move on after All Out War? It's hard to imagine where the TV series goes from here. Same old, looking for supplies?...

Spoiler

they encounter a group called the whisperers. a group who wear zombie skin to blend in with herds. Negan also becomes a captive of Rick's and eventually gets out and I believe fights with Rick against the whisperers

Eugene helping Sasha ....

 

[highlander1]

I HATE you Eugene. This ep just sold a ton of big ass knives ha ha...

 

[Mr. Green]

Cool episode. Sasha should play the lying card as long as she can. Hard decision up ahead for her.
