I've been a fan since season one and I still watch it even though the writing has gotten sloppy, and sometimes predictable. The shows has veered off from the comics a long term me ago so getting rid of the character that they did is no real surprise. They weren't doing much with him anyway. The fight between Rick and Negan was the big problem for me. Rick had the opportunity to end it all but he hits Negan with the handle of the bat, and not the end that was covered in barbed wire. That is such a Hollywood thing to do. This show stretches one day out to three and four weeks of episodes like the soap opera that it is. I like the show I just wish the writers would up their game and give us better episodes. And talking dead is the worst! I used to watch that to until I realized all they are talking about is what I just saw. I can make my own inferences on what took place. Then they show boring snippets of the next episode that just aggravate me more.
The producers are making it hard for me to be a fan.

I am convinced that this show is better to binge watch... I have read and listened to complaints like the one above about the show years.. Personally I never noticed because I always waited for the Blu Ray release.. Well Until Negan showed up.. Now I record 4 to 5 episodes and I still binge it..

I seriously don't notice the "slow" episodes because I always have another to watch.. The show flows well.. I have always loved it and have only found two episodes to really bore the hell out of me.

But if I watched the show week to week there would be some very frustrating moments when you are left with a cliffhanger and you wait to see it the following week and then the episode they show has nothing to do with the cliffhanger... So the season comes across slower for those viewers..

I say this because I watched from week to week last season and I felt the same way. Very frustrated with having to wait two or three weeks to get some resolution. So after the mid season break I recorded the rest of the season and binged it again.

Now I am back to thinking the show is great Horror fun and I have no issues.
 
So I guess this means the flash-forward they teased this season will not become a reality as Carl had a fleeting moment in the scene.

Starting a music career?!?

Is he in some band that has actually released an album?

AMC must pay the actors next to nothing if a core character is willing to abandon a steady paycheck on a successful show, to start a band that will likely go nowhere. Should of just had him walk off on his own, in case his musical aspirations die a gruesome death, that way he could make a triumphant return to the show at a crucial moment, when it looked like all was lost for the group. A return like that might have actually given a major boost and buzz to this flagging show.

It is kinda sad, i really hope he finds a new show or a role in a movie or something because actors that cross to music rarely do well.
 
The were talking about it on TTD that he has music coming out this week sometime. Not sure if he's in a band or not.

The Walking Dead' Just Killed Its Biggest Character Yet For The Worst Reason Possible


This is, without question, the biggest death in the show’s history. Bigger than Glenn even, despite not being as brutal, and past that, it is a wild departure from the comics to the point where I simply cannot understand what the showrunners were thinking. The most shocking part of all of this to me is that according to an exit interview with THR, this is not Chandler Riggs wanting to leave the show to go to college or anything, which may have been understandable, albeit sad in its own way. Rather, this was Scott Gimple’s decision and it was “all story-based,” Riggs says, something about teaching Rick a lesson that there’s a “better way” than war. Here’s the explanation that Riggs says Gimple gave him:

In the comics, Scott was trying to figure out why there was a story hole between Rick and Negan at the end of the “All-Out War” arc and then there’s the time jump. Scott’s way to get around that was to make Carl this really humanitarian figure and person who could see the good in people and see that people can change and not everyone out there is bad. That’s what Carl’s talk to Rick was in this episode: there’s no way that they can kill every one of the Saviors and not everyone is a bad person and there has to be some way forward than just killing people.”

Because all that definitely requires Carl’s death and is in keeping with his character. Sure. Right. If that’s true, if Gimple really made this call all on his own, then that’s totally insane, and I can’t believe a mind-numbingly short-sighted decision like that was made to…fix a minor comic inconsistency? At the cost of one of the most key characters in the entire comic? That’s madness.



You cant defend this ween.... also you were lied to about him wanting out, plus this ruins the story because he is a big part of it in the future.

Chandler Riggs and his family bought a freaking house in Senoia, Georgia because it's close to where The Walking Dead is filmed and AMC assured him he would be on the show for at least three more years

Scott Gimple waited until AFTER the sale was finalized to tell Riggs that he was being written out.

It was also a week before his birthday

Riggs probably isn't about to have an acting career take off. This is probably it for him. He'll get a couple bit roles and assorted credits if he wants them, sure, but for the most part, this will be the high-point of his career.

This freaking show.....lol

Ween you cant defend this ween lol AMC is truly evil

I remember buying a house in March of 2003 and then my job laying me off 4 months later.

Nothing is guaranteed.

Even for popular tv show actors.
 
Got another job about a month later. IT field is always hiring. :)

Carl will be fine. But yea he prolly should go to school or something. There thousands and thousands of bands out there that nobody listens too and his TWD popularity won't help it much.

Hard to feel sorry for an 18 year old who can buy is own house. He's made a **** ton of money in a few years so if his father hasn't ate it up, he'll be fine till he either gets more acting jobs, a singing career or an education. Always have a back up plan anyway.

He knew going into this that no one was suppose to be safe and everyone was all for that. Now, since he wasn't, everyone is pissed off. I'm curious as to how this plays out. I would enjoy it being all a ruse and everyone getting mad for nothing. :lol

The studio TOLD him he would be good for 3 more years...

I seriously doubt his dad would throw Gimple and AMC under the bus for a ruse....

Millionare or not ( being able to buy the house) they wasted his time, besides isnt AMC being sued by a bunch of people including the comic creator? Seems pretty stupid to pull a move like this when carl is so important for future storylines.

I know you said u are gonna wait to next episode to talk.... but this is a ***** move regardless of how much money the kid has. And it will negatively affect the storyline

Carls (Chandler) age always stuck out for me. Carl must only be about 14/15 in the All Out War comic storyline (right?). Chandler is 18 now but could easily pass for looking 20. Maybe that was a factor...
