Oh that explains that then!

Hopefully we'll get to see a lot more of her in 8B

Why's Maggie been pregnant for 84 years

Cos the show has barely moved along in time since she first got pregnant annoyingly

They could have saved so much trouble in terms of characters ageing (especially Carl) if they had bigger time jumps per season. The writers also mess up by writing character bonds stronger than they actually are because it's been years since characters have been introduced but literally months since they've met in the show

Hasn't this entire season been just 2 days so far? That Aaron and Maggie scene about his dead boyfriend felt really out of place, he was talking as if he'd been dead for months

Their time lines have never really worked though, e.g. They've just allowed Carl to have some sort of rapid aging. Like they don't pretend that things have taken longer, the accepted time line is that the apocalypse was approx 2 years ago... They don't pretend that he's younger than he clearly is... He was clearly a kid when it started, but the character is very much a mid to late teenager now - he even has a mid to late teenage girlfriend. They just totally ignore it. He's aged 7 years in 2 years and that's just brushed under the carpet :joker:.

Also I've just read that;

I will watch FTWD again now Maggie Grace is joining the cast. I got sick of it and how it focused on Nick.

"The King, the Widow, and Rick" received mixed reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, it holds a 33% with an average rating of 5.82 out of 10, based on 24 reviews. So far, this is the lowest rating in the show's history. The site's consensus reads: "The King, The Widow, and Rick" spreads itself between too many storylines, and thereby doesn't accomplish much in the process."

lmao so RT think the latest episode was the worst in the shows HISTORY? get the **** outta here

It was a pretty pathetic episode, it's definitely a contender for worst ever

Tonight's/yesterday's episode was great (but this is coming from someone who liked last week's even though people dislike it) and I'm honestly sad that we're on a 2 month break after next week :( I always found the first half of the seasons always tend to be the weaker of the halves and if that's the case 8b will no doubt deliver :love:

it happened two years ago chick!! Don't get too damaged x

Not feeling these episodes AT ALL

yeah me neither. What the actual **** is the story with the trash people storyline, it's ****ing stupid

I thought Eugene's storyline was quite good... though he needs to go now, IMO. Trash people as always were trash.

Also I'm not sure what was supposed to be going on at the end? The way I read the situation was that Eugene had decided to be self-serving and basically was lying to Negan about their chances outside / being able to make more ammo, and just wanted the Saviors to plough a path out, so that he could escape himself. But the empty yard at the end? Are they saying that the Saviors are OUT, or just that all of the walkers are IN? Because neither make all that much sense... if the Saviors shot their way out where are the walker-bodies in the yard? And if they went in... surely there would still be at least a few stragglers wandering around outside? :think:

You can bet your bottom dollar that the Saviours have gotten out, we still have more than half a season left :laugh:

saviors have gotten out i think, and now the rick & jadis Alliance isn't working anymore either, cause of this failed plan


so i'm thinking

Laughably bad writing again. The final scene made all these decisions even more stupid.... Daryl and Tara went through with their ridiculous plan to save waiting 1 extra bloody day!? Negan needs to just purge everyone except for the King next week.

What a rubbish ep lol

Just saw the ratings have fallen off quite dramatically since last season. Hopefully that will be the kick us the ass they need.

Not only that, but their plan actually helped clear the way... As half of the courtyard walkers would have been inside. In fact, a good tactic for the Saviours would have been to barricade that area and then blow the wall from the inside, lure them all in, then simply leave through the other door :joker:.

They won't cancel on the back of one bad season, so yeah, there's a good chance that the network will hire a new showrunner (who in turn will hire new writers) to save the show. We can only hope...

It is 8 seasons in now though, maybe they should be thinking about ending it tbh

Couple crap episodes recently tbh. Poor Rick surrounded by idiots. Here for the MSF though.

It still hits 7 to 8 million viewers regularly... there have been huge drops from its peak (about 20% drop I think?) HOWEVER... AMC's second highest rated is FTWD at 2.5 million and they don't have any other shows that break 2 million, and haven't since Breaking Bad, which again at it's peak was only at about 5 million and averaged neared 4 million.

Basically... AMC would be committing financial suicide if they cancelled it. Whether it SHOULD end I guess is another matter - I think if they set a 10 season target as their definite finale then S9 and S10 would probably be amazing... because it would have a real direction. However I just can't see them doing that, they'll bleed it totally dry and probably run to around 12 seasons, with more spin-offs.

Personally I think at the very least... as above... they need a new showrunner, a new writing team and a new ideology: After "All Out War" finishes they need to split from the comics and go in completely their own direction. Reintroduce real risk to the big characters... have more episodes that are just balls-to-the-wall survival, and I don't think it would have a problem picking up again. Basically it's gotten too "comic book heroes", but that's because it's trying to stick relatively close to the source material... time to let it go.

....although that said, one of the only non-comic elements they have at the moment is Lady Trash Trash, sooo... yeah. Definitely new writers before they go off writing their own stuff :joker:.

"AND THEN AND THEN! Eugene will go to the trash yard and find all this tech, and create a JETPACK for Negan... but Daryl will steal it, and he'll have loads of guns, and he'll fly around like Iron Man!!"

They are absolutely stupid and soo so pointless, painful to watch the dialogue between them too :/

Yeah most likely, I hate when greedy people ruin the legacy of shows like that by dragging them out



Oh really? And I was thinking, maybe as comic book characters they're better? :facepalm:
I would like a full explanation of why they talk like they've just been beamed down from outer space and are trying to learn human speak

Yeah same :laugh:

That and why they seem to be learning about wearing clothes too

Yep - the trashyard people don't even exist in the comics, which makes their inclusion in the series even more bizarre!

"Lose short shorts... I sculpt you peeners now."

:laugh2:

Lol Jadis is so thirsty for Rick why does she keep trying to kill him :laugh2:

Rosita's character developing in the space of an episode :love:
Daryl still making stupid mistakes (even if he has reasons they are NOT excuses) 8 seasons on: :umm2:

Jadis kinda hot tho

Perched for the mid season finale next week :clap1:

The only saving grace of the trash people

Ew wut? Jadis?

:/ Shes a pound shop Milla Jovovich

And Mila Jovovich is even hotter!

:laugh2:

Leeloo Dallas mooltipass.

Mool - tee - PASS!

... Maybe that's why Jadis speaks so strangely :think:. She's the soopraym beeyeng.
