I thought that was Judith? But shouldn't she be around 5-6 by now?

OK, I guess that has to be the explanation. Suppose I missed why she's hanging out over there.

That's the problem with this show. They spend like 10 minutes of flashbacks between two characters no one really ever cared about, to try to create some artsy suicide....and ignore a lot of the little things that help tie crap together.

I only watch because I'm waiting for the tiger to rape somebody.

I don't read the comics, so is there a lot in the story line after Negan dies?

I've gotten most of the story from Wikipedia/Internet. I don't care enough about the show to worry if I'm spoiling anything.

And what are you really going to spoil? This show is nothing more, now, than going from one conflict with another survivor community to the next.

I'm about done with the show - I'm more interested in seeing an actual move toward rebuilding and re-connecting society. The whole "warring clan" thing is completely played out.

Quite honestly, it's a little difficult to believe that, in the US, so many of these communities would be run by sociopaths and crazy people. And why are there few/none with former military experience? Where's the community led by a former Army colonel kicking ass and taking names?

Or just the military in general. It's like the entire military just disappeared. I don't think a bunch of roving bands of thugs are going to take out the entire US military in the couple years the story has taken place.

And the almost completely harmless zombie population sure as hell isn't going to do it. Some chick with a sword can take down 20 zombies by herself, but we're supposed to believe Navy SEALs and Green Berets with a full arsenal never stood a chance?

A prison with a chain link fence was able to keep hordes of zombies at bay, but none of the military bases survived?

There isn't a single air force installation still operable that isn't carpet bombing the hordes of zombies into oblivion?

There's just a lot of things about the story are conveniently forgotten.

Or that fact that in the timeframe of the show zombies would of totally decomposed into nothing.

So many wtf's im sure it's why the original creative writers of the show dropped.

That's why there aren't many left out there and aren't much of a threat. Supposedly they can go into an extremely low metabolic "hibernation" state. But Negan mentioned a problem with his walker-wall literally decomposing and falling apart.

As for the military, yeah that's a fairly big hole. The zombies move too slow, and the turning process happens too slowly, to over-run anything, much less trained armies. I've never watched the prequel series (and have no interest in doing so), but how the zombie "herd" reached critical mass is hard to resolve based on what we know.

For comparison, The Strain did the outbreak and spread very well.

Here's another good one for ya....it's been at least two years - gasoline goes bad long before then.

If you took gas/cars out of the equation, the dynamic changes massively.

I want to see these people start running out of shit - candles, propane, batteries, etc..

Why I have stopped watching. Too insufferable with the melodrama/soap opera crap. Not the real feel IT started out with, anymore.
Fear the Walking Dead has managed to keep my attention. Once that series returns I'll be intrigued. It's still fairly young in it's inception though so we'll see how things unfold.
Into the Badlands has returned and I've started to warm up to that series. The first season wasn't as good as I'd hoped. Still young in it's inception too.

Didn't really know that gas would go bad.

In the USA? I find it totally believable! All of our real leaders are sociopaths and crazy people.

Have you ever seen the movie "Idiocracy" ? It is hilarious, but also seems to me like an exaggerated version of the actual 'Murica we live in now, where some people are proud of being stupid. In the movie, the wrestling champion (Think WWE) becomes president, is a reality TV Star much different. LOL.

I agree. And we essentially had bozo the clown as president for 8 years! LOL Crazy isn't it!

Number 4 really stands out as the main reason why I stopped. Combine that to Number 10. Number 10 was the main reason why I struggled maintaining viewer loyalty early on.

many of the other reasons can be overcome if the show is exciting. If's it's boring, you're done.

Filler and spacing is an issue when the acting and writing aren't up to task. They want to be a drama, but they don't know how to truly give characters depth.

If you watch The Americans, then you've seen how drama works when done right.

Found this today and felt compelled to post it. So right on. :lol:

I read that this season Negan will make a lot of snarky comments and menacing faces. Rick will make several heroic speeches and brave stances which will backfire leaving him with an utterly bewilder look on his face for entire episodes. Carl and Enid will do something meaningless and monotonous to fill in spaces where they couldn't think of anything to write. Maggie will look brave a whole bunch of times. Jesus will almost but not quite actually do anything. Morgan will suffer in moral agony about something. Carol will get real mad and then get real mad about getting real mad. Daryl's hair will stay greasy and stringy and his self-replicating crossbow bolts will never run out. The tiger dude will say something witty. The big dude with the axe will grin and eat something. The zombies will occasionally show up making chainsaw noises no one can hear for some reason. The junk yard lady will go back the 1960's British show The Prisoner where she obviously time transported in from. Eugene will still have the best mullet on tv, and he and it will do something reprehensible. The remaining accessory characters will occasionally get shot or punched or put everyone in a precarious spot where they nearly get everyone else killed but don't. Michonne will look uber serious about something and chop the heck out of whatever it was. And the cars will all have good batteries and gas that has not deteriorated. Then in season 9 . . . . . https://www.yahoo.com/movies/m/6c9c99e1 ... son-8.html

Just watched it the other day, lol.

Everybody is basically below 60 IQ. If that were to happen our species would go extinct fairly quickly, or the Earth would simply be destroyed.
