Shane is one of their best characters, if not the best after our Andrea.

Great news. Probably some flashback or hallucinations for Rick’s farewell. Should be good.

tbh I just thought about the dichotomy of Rick and Shane and I honestly think it'd be nice if Rick sorta hallucinates Shane? And Shane sorta evaluates Rick's actions and progress. I don't think Shane would agree with Rick keeping the man who beat Glenn to death alive (since that's the only action of Negan's that would affect Shane to a degree), nor would he be fine with the fact he 'couldn't protect' Lori or Carl. Would certainly make for an interesting few scenes.
Of course we can't forget the fact Judith's biological dad is Shane. It'd only make sense for us to get some scenes between the two of them

 Should just have ended the show where it is now. Yes, a lot of season 8 was daft and... well... just badly made. But the finale was actually OK and if you cut out the scene with Maggie / Jesus / Daryl plotting for next season, and take out the couple of "helicopter teasers" (or explain what it was, and make it a friendly other community) then the show could quite comfortably have ended with the S8 finale. Negan is locked up, the remaining Saviours have agreed to live in peace, Alexandria / Hilltop / Kingdom are building themselves up to be something bigger, everyone is working together to survive now and build a new world... Carl's death means something because Rick learned that there's a better way and spared Negan and the Saviours who surrendered. Eugene was redeemed. Daryl let go of his obsession with killing Dwight and let him go. Carol saved that annoying little kid and seemed to finally be coming to terms with Sophia's death. Dwight discovered that his wife is still alive after all and has gone off to find her. Morgan left the group (for FTWD). Gabriel's faith was restored because he can now believe that it was "god's plan" for him to be at the ammunition factory and get through to Eugene. Even Jadis went back to using her real name and went to join a community! Literally swap the "angry Maggie" scene for a scene that shows her, maybe, at Glenn's grave starting to move on... and the show is totally wrapped up  . It would be one of the most "complete" finales in years!

Looks like next season will focus on The Whisperers. I just can’t get hype though knowing Rick’s fate.

One thing I can't stand about TV this day and age, is that it's impossible to avoid spoilers and the fact the actual people in charge of the shows tell viewers which cast members will be leaving/killed off. Like, Rick dying/leaving should be a huge deal but by the time it happens no one will care all that much.

...like when I was watching The 100 and a major character died and it caught me totally off guard, made it a great episode for me, so emotional. I post about it on the thread. Then Lostie! quotes me in a post from 9 months earlier where I'm talking about knowing and being disappointed that the actor is leaving.  WOT.So by next November I'll probably have no idea that Rick is leaving  .

Overall I think it actually looks like it may be a major improvement on the last two seasons... and when it comes right down to it... I *do* think it's time for Rick to go. I'm hoping he isn't killed off, I'm hoping that he simply moves on. His character arc is basically complete.
But I actually hope a bunch of old characters go with him ... It's time for Michonne and Daryl to go too, at least, but they'll never get rid of Daryl until he quits. It's not that I don't like the characters - it's just time for new blood / to move on. Keep some core supporting cast to usher in a new main cast. Carol should always stay , and I'd keep Gabriel and bring some of the newer ones into more prominent roles (Jesus for example has been massively under-used compared to his role in the comics). Have Negan come over to the "good guys" for a while for a quick redemption arc, then kill him off.I think the show can still work but the characters are entrenched and clad in "plot armour" - there's no real sense of risk or danger - which has sort of killed the whole show. Overall though, I'm willing to give it another shot next season, because the final two or three episodes of S8 while far from perfect were a dramatic improvement over the rest of the season. Before those I was almost ready to bail... and we had stopped watching week-to-week around 5 episodes from the end... but then binged them one day when we were both off work and the kids were at school .

Ahhhhhh this trailer was amazing!! I wouldnt have noticed the "where are they" If it hadnt been mentioned when i watched it back it really creeped me out. Hoping for more zombie action this time around the whole negan thing was irritating

I'd post the links but you need to be a member to view stuff (its free to become one)
....that person that he’s always been sceptical and cynical about and wary of...in that focusing on a community of law and order etc, being what is needed to survive...something he’s always felt as being unrealistic...he might not have the sadistic qualities of Negan or the cruelty and ruthlessness of the Governor...but it seems he’s essentially becoming them, well more like them...and maybe Negan is becoming more Rick...with more a view of...nope, I tried that as well as ‘the way’ and it all went a bit screwed, look at me now, you have it all wrong, Rick...their ‘control’ might be completely different in the methods because of their differences as people...but it still feels a bit like they’re trading places in their ideology...quite interesting really in the psychology of...I’m not sure if it’ll be interesting enough to sustain interest for me though and Rick in his crisp, starched clean sheriff clothing just feels a bit weird as we’ve seen him develop from sheriff and law and order to survival and unshaven and crumpled../..bloodstained etc...yeah it’s just weird...
he's been somewhat underused imo
