Yeah I think season 10 will be the end point.

Wrap up the Alexandria/Hilltop/Kingdom vs Sanctuary story line, do the Whisperers arc from the comic and then end it with not too many more deaths.

Yeah, I mean does anyone even like the Negan storyline? (besides Nicky) I can't wait till they kill him off but the reason for Carl dying is to keep him there longer? ****s sake, if he isn't dead by the end of this season i doubt I'll watch S9 tbh

The fact that Daryl outlived Carl annoys me.

Tbh Daryl dying would've probably pissed Rick off more than Carl dying, given the fact Rick spends waay more time with Daryl than Carl, which is ridiculous

Daryl's definitely gonna be the last man standing now and I'm FUMING that 4 people from the Lucille lineup have died now and not one of them was Daryl, who should've been Glenn's death

Also I'm very confused as to how the herd cleared up?? I thought it would've been because Daryl drove a truck into the Sanctuary, but apparently Eugene had a role in clearing it out according to Dwightl? Am I mishearing? Can anyone confirm?

I heard them say that too about Eugene but they didn't explain how as far as i can remember

They didn't explain loads of things! Like weren't Rick and Carol in the car that got rammed off the road?? But then whasisname has been captured by Simon... And Carol has teleported to The Kingdom / Rick to Alexandria without a scratch on either of them? And yeah... Eugene described having some "plan" to get them all out but we never saw what he did, just that it worked :think:. My assumption is that he simply redid the previous plan - remote controlled plane playing loud music - but this time told Negan first so that Dwight couldn't intervene and stop him again - and they combined that with shooting their way through the stragglers. But really lazy writing to not show them getting out.

I thought it was a good ending, surprising.

Okay thank god I'm not going crazy. I KNEW Jerry was in the same car as Carol and Rick! (Also WHY was Carol at the Sanctuary anyway?!)
A tad silly how we need to guess and theorise how the Saviors got out, given how the entire episode is about the Saviors getting out... Also given all Alexandrians were confused as to how the Saviors got out, how did Dwight know where to park the cars? And where to drive the cars into the smoke? Surely they wouldn't have had time to communicate with Dwight, especially since he's been trapped at the Sanctuary and he didn't seem to be communicating with the Alexandrians via walky-talky or radio

"Watching Gimple fire my son 2 weeks before his 18th birthday after telling him they wanted him for the next 3 years was disappointing. I never trusted Gimple or AMC, but Chandler did. I know how much it hurt him. But we do absolutely know how lucky we have been to be a part of it all and appreciate all the love from fans all these years."

I know the show in general is not a great example of long term employment prospects as a majority of the characters end up dead but I find it really unprofessional to guarantee an actors security on the show for a number of years and allow them to choose their education (Chandler was told he would be in at least 3 more seasons last year) around their job or even buy a property (Laurie Holden was told she had 5 more years at least of filming) or even encourage cast to turn down other jobs to film for future season only to be killed off mid season (Emily Kinney was told she had at least another season on the show and therfore refused a future job) it just stinks really.

Seems Gimple has no loyalty to his cast at all and that makes me kind of shy away from the show a little bit.

My wife is talking about stopping watching it too :joker:. I for one will stay until the bitter end though, I like trash TV and I'd find it hilarious if it ended in some really stupid / premature way... slow motion car crash :laugh:.

Did you watch Dexter?

Lauren Cohan could be on her way out also?

She hasn’t signed a new contract and is apparently asking for a much higher salary to earn the same as Andrew Lincoln and Norman Reedus :worry:

Not sure why Norman is getting paid so much.. Andrew Lincoln deservedly getting the highest though.

I've been rewatching from the start the last few days and :flutter: @ ALL OF IT

I know a lot of fans felt that the Sophia thing dragged out but in all honesty, I think it was done perfectly. I mean, 7 episodes isn't really that long to wait, is it? Especially when you have other things going on, like Shane's downfall, Lori being pregnant, Hershel trying to keep the barn secret and Glenn and Maggie's relationship. One thing I've noticed too, is how good a character Dale was :love: He'll be such a big loss once I get round to watching episode 11(??)

Daryl's probably the show's #1 cash cow even though he's been pointless for years.

Daryl's great in the first few seasons

I hope Lauren gets equal pay, Melissa and Danai should too, in my opinion.

Season 2 :love:

They never captured the magic of season 2 again. They killed off that set of survivors way too quickly.

Yup. Having Dale, Shane, Lori and T-Dog all dead within a few episodes of each other (although they were different seasons) wasn't the best move.

Then Merle and Andrea within quick succession too at the end of the season 3. A mess

It’s weird because I view the Atlanta and farm survivors as the ‘main’ TWD group when the ‘main’ group is more like Michonne, Tara, Rosita, Sasha, Abraham, Eugene, Aaron etc.

I always liked that, reinforced the stakes.

I loved S2 so much, I don't understand the hate it gets

Haaa I only just saw this post. Yeah, we watched Dexter, the ending was horrendous :joker:

The whole last season was ludicrous

Should be Andrew as the highest and then the names you mentioned equal just below yeah.
