cddolphin Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I actually thought the last episode was good. One of only two this season.. but still. Euguene vs Negan for the finale?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The season started out pretty bland w/ the constant bullets but it has gotten better the last few episodes. Hope they build for the finale. It would be better if they got rid of junkyard people and killed off Ezekial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malfatron Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 I will probably give the midseason finale a chance. If there is a high body count of named characters, I may give it another chance. They need to clean house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedTheClock Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 The problem, IMO, is that they want Negan to stick around for a while. You can't kill him off right now but you also can't keep thumbing your bhole for the entirety of a season either. They almost have to have these long drawn out episodes to avoid an all out war. If there was a gigantic war every episode, people would be furious at the amount of times the main characters escape situations nobody would escape from. Negan would be shot at 6,000 times and still be alive. Same for Rick. I don't know where they go from here, but something has to happen soon. I also wish that walkers were more of a threat than they are right now. It seems like they're just an inconvenience rather than an actual army of death like they were early on. I understand that they're wearing down and becoming significantly weaker, but the show has stopped being about zombies and has become a soap opera. I'm fine with that, but the soap opera is becoming stale and they should go back to their roots. Not sure how to make the walkers more formidable, as they are getting weaker and weaker from a story standpoint. Also, I think there's too many characters in TWD right now. I liked it when there was less to think about and not so many people we had to pretend to care about. When there's 60 freaking people in this world, it's tough to develop characters that we care about. I think they've only made us care about maybe 5-7 people on the show. Everyone else is expendable and meaningless filler. I don't really care what happens to Ezekiel's Kingdom people. I don't really care what happens to Gregory or the doctor. I don't care what happens to Tara. I don't care what happens to Jesus...there are just a lot of people that I don't really care about in the show. Darryl, Rick, Carl, Carol, Negan, Maggie, and maybe Morgan are the only characters that have fully fleshed out personalities that the show has made us care about...in theory. Everyone else is just kind of meh....and meh gets too much air time. A smaller group would give us a more narrow focus and you could develop more stories. Nothing happens in these episodes because they have to track 1,000 different people from 1,000 different places. I still like the show and will continue watching, but it has hit a lull. It almost seems like it's become a different show in the last 2 years. I love Negan, but somehow his arrival has made the show more stagnant. I don't know why that is, because Negan the character is killing it. It's the plot around him that seems to be stale...all-out war should be more badass than it's been so far. Every time there's a fire fight, I know nobody important is going to die...unless it's a season finale. I'd love it if they shocked us with a middle of a season death from a main character. It'd breathe some life into a stagnant story and get people excited to see what happens after that. The seasons start out strong and finish strong, but the middle portions are brutal.

cddolphin Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 ^^I think you nailed it, especially the "too many characters to care about" bit. Not only that, but the producers are simply bad at keeping us 'in the loop' so to speak, where they will go 3/4/5+ episodes without mentioning a character and then throwing us an episode that revolves around them in an attempt to flesh them out. They've also fallen into a rather predictable pattern of focusing on a minor/side character heavily just before he/she dies or major tragedy befalls them. (see the gay couple, Ezekiel just this season). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
