It just seems so far fetched now, and like you said, "gimmicky" that we have all these groups now but none of which the audience actually care about, except from a handful from Alexandria.

i preferred it back in the day when they came across different people.. at least they were normal humans not pretending to be wannabe super heroes and each character had their own individual personality

Does anyone else kind of wish they would go back to trying to find out the root cause of the outbreak like they did in the first few seasons? It looked like they would when Abe/Eugene/Rosita were introduced but we all know how that ended lol

Yeah definitely

Did anyone else notice the weird 80's-esque music going on in the last episode?

...what's that all about? Just... why? It doesn't really fit the tone of TWD at all and is totally different from any and all background music used in the past .

I think the sound directors have been watching too much "Stranger Things".

Rosita

But yeah I also notice the Mad Max vibe, especially with their unusual way of saying things ("the up up"... ). Like all of these people had lived before the apocalypse, why has living in a dump for a few years made them forget how to speak properly?? They'll be looking for some guzzoline for their vroom-vroom horses next. "We want bang boom sticks to fight bad man".

Also their introduction was completely out of sync with the usual tone of the show, right down to the music selection which I mentioned before. I don't personally have an issue with shows changing direction a bit on occasion... But it has to be gradual... This came totally out of nowhere.

How long are they in Alexandria for? They're still in it now in late season 7 aren't they? I'm on season 5 and they're already here welp.

[Nicky91]

nice episode, more from Negan this time, and Eugene becoming a savior

Spoiler:

As far as I know (in terms of the comics) they're still there and loads has happened in the comics that hasn't in the shows yet. For now at least it's moved on from the "constantly on the move" stuff of the earlier seasons... they don't really consider Walkers to be much of a "threat" at this point because they're so good at taking them out, more like any other dangerous animal that they have to deal with when they leave a place that has walls. There are a LOT more human characters now (towns with hundreds) and it's all mainly centered around human threats with the walkers being more of a "backdrop".

The show isn't REALLY a Zombie show any more to be honest, so much as a general post-apocalyptic show where "Zombies" happens to have been the world ending event. It wouldn't be "realistic" any other way to be fair. They've been living and surviving with walkers for (I'd guess based on Judith's apparent age) about 2 - 3 years now so anyone still alive would definitely have adapted, and would be focussed on trying to rebuild a home and society rather than raw survival.

The question is... is Eugene really still just a coward? Has he been marginalised and mocked by Rick & co to the extent that he really does feel like he has found "his place" with the Saviors?

OR... is he simply smarter than Daryl... who I said as soon as Negan took him, should hold out for a while and then pretend to be "broken", become a Savior, get on the inside and help to destroy them from there. Is that Eugene's long term plan? Get close to Negan for now, keep his head down, wait for the war to come and then be in position to make a difference from the inside? Hmmm.

[Drew.]

Much better episode than the previous 2 I like the way the story is developing with the Saviors. I get the feeling people who are part of the Saviors might end up causing more damage to the group by rebelling against Negan than what Rick and everyone else might do.

well i think this could be the end of Eugene, if he does try it like this, trying to be a hero

i don't think Negan is that stupid, and i rather see more of Negan for some reason rather than Eugene

Surely if a double cross was the plan poisoning Negan would be a good option? (although would be too uneventful for the show obviously)

Didn't really like this episode, Negan is too annoying and the whole Negan scenario is just not believable, he's one guy and he's awful to pretty much everyone, i just don't buy their loyalty to him
