That'd be boring in a different way and it'd detract from the once in a blue moon 'good' episodes. Basically it comes down to money. It's the biggest show on TV right now and they're going to milk it for all it's worth. They take the good stuff and water it down by throwing in seven or eight episodes of filler bullshit in per season. People are so invested in the show that most will continue watching it regardless. It's been happening for the last few seasons now, not sure why people are so surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of those who watch the show would indicate that the second season was the most boring. The reason was, they ran out of money during filming, so they had the characters on the farm longer than they intended. I know whats coming, so I can anticipate and accept some build up to it. A friend at work was looking forward to the episode, because she wanted to know what was going to happen with Carl. She is probably disappointed now too. It would have been more appropriate if it just showed Kirkman giving us the finger for 60 minutes straight ( minus commercials). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) Good episode this week I think, thankfully a lot better than last weeks garbage Edited December 5, 2016 by Demitri_C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicho Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Just reading about the ratings slump for the rinse and repeat season structure. for me the show would have been better as a flash back show. We meet Negan who's a piece of work, slowly learning and seeing throughout the season how he became how he is. Earlier series could have been flash backs of the original group dealing with the world falling apart and Rick and there timelines slowly converging. would give some diversity to each episode series, for what it's worth the first series was great.

I actually think the opposite. Negan is the only thing that is making me watch. i think he is doing a superb job 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I am predicting the mid season end will be Rick meeting the kingdom. Bit suprising that Rick hasnt mentioned Carole or Morgan yet. They also need to hurry up and rescue Daryl. Badly letting the show down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Wow great episode this week just seen it Spoiler Spencer's death was a great scene and got what he deserved the weasel. also finally after some dragging Rick coming to meet the gang at Hilltop was great scene. I guess he isn't yet aware the kingdom exists so things will get very interesting once the mid season break is finished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meath_Villan Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Thought it was a tad weak tbh ..... The 5 mins of staring and nodding at the end were top notch tho .... seriously at least Rick grew his balls back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) I loved this episode! Negan's handling of Spencer was a bit predictable but great at the same time. The weird guy spying on Alexandria in the Spoiler is either gonna make the beating of the saviours or the ending of some of Alexandria's lot. I'm hoping he's bad ass and joins up with Rick's lot for the greater good. Who will kill Negan? I'm going for Dwight as he's got a mighty fine missus being stoked by Negan and surely it would be too obvious to make it one of Rick's group? Actually, I think the person spying in the Spoiler might just be one of those tough women that Tara encountered in last week's episode. Hopefully, it is and she will suss out what's going on, go back to her group and get all that weaponry over to Alexandria in time for the war.

Demitri_C Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I don't think negan will be killed. I think that might just make him a prisoner or something like that. If he was to die surely Maggie or Carl would be best person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted December 13, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted December 13, 2016 This weeks: Good episode overall, builds it nicely for the second half of the season next year. BUT: Spoiler 1. **** hell! that bit with the bullet was hilarious! Nice tough baseball bat you have there Mr.N Oh, and I love how he suddenly became a ballistics expert and could tell the bullet was home made 2. The Spencer death scene How badly acted and put together was that? So OTT on the gore - not so much how much there was but how it was done. It looked crap basically. The other death scene was 1000 times more effective. Enjoyed it though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
