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.

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