TWD Season 7

One of the stronger episodes in a while, largely on the strength of Lennie James' acting. Crazy Morgan will be fun to watch going forward. He's probably the only character that I would be bummed to see killed.

Some genuine surprises this episode. I didn't see Richard's death coming, and certainly not at the bare hands of Morgan lol. But the way the episode played out it made sense, and Rich got his wish to sacrifice himself for the fight. The final shot of Morgan sharpening his stick was perfect.

The dialogue is still bordering daytime soap opera levels at times. How many times do they have to foreshadow the incoming war? It's patronizing at best. That was about the only that bugged me.

Here's to hoping the last few episodes continue this episode's momentum.

Eventually all of the zombies will rot away and humanity will be left to rebuild from the ashes, which would be a great story in itself.

 

Also, I don't know which is sadder. That it took a Forbes article for some people to realize Negan is an idiot, or the fact that he gets paid for stating the obvious like it is some grand revelation. It's like explaining poo to toddlers in here sometimes.

if everyone is infected and any death turns you into a zombie.....they will never go away.

Last night's episode was fantastic from top to bottom, other than Richard's plans always being pointlessly complex, like a Wile E Coyote episode.

first good episode in a LONG time.  Crazy Morgan + no Negan is a can't miss.

I thought it was the best episode of the season. In fact, the past two have been overall decent episodes to build on, aside from a couple terrible moments.

CGI Shiva is still terrible btw.

Lennie James is the best. He basically Red Viper'd Richard, lol. I'm surprised Negan's guys didn't say "Okay we're gonna take this animal with us" and try to give him the whole Eugene treatment to win him over to their side.

Yeah for a second I thought Morgan was going to smash Richard's head through his eyeballs lol. The crunch of Richard's throat was brutal.

Eventually they will go from 4 billion or more zombies to next to none. And all you have to do to stop someone is destroy their brain when they die.  They could be almost completely eliminated in less than 10 years.

bad news is after a surprisingly good episode for the first time in years.  This week.....we get another Negan episode.   They need to go ahead and start re-writing next season.  They need to get past this arch quicker than they want.

So, I've been sitting on the recorded episodes since the break. Is there really a good reason for me to invest the time in watching them?

I've come all this way and honestly, I'm just not sure I've got enough interest left to keep watching. is the war with Negan worth it, or is it just more drawn out bs?

I'd say it has been better than the first half of the season (the most recent episode has been the best in a while IMO) but nothing of any real consequence has really happened yet. My guess is there will be more stalling and building up to the war until the last 5-10 minutes of the season finale when poo will actually begin to go down.

You mean the war still hasn't started? I hate to say it, but the show has ground down into something even more plodding than the walkers themselves. It had just become tedious.

Nope. Had a fully Kingdom-centric episode, a full Saviors episode, and a couple episodes involving another group to fight in the war.

I feel like when they do the storyboard they have a major plot point for the mid-season finale and the season finale and then just find a way to fill in the space in between.

Was a good episode, for what it was. At this point though, I find myself saying the same thing each week. "This was good for character and plot development". The problem here, obviously, is that this could have been done throughout other episodes. They could have condensed three of this season's episodes into one and made it work. Instead they are three separate episodes with a lot of filler dialogue that was rather forgettable. The tension is gone, largely. The reason the first two seasons were so good was that the dialogue generally mattered. The conflicts between characters was engaging. Now it's just...there.

At least now we have our first big move to spark the war. Hopefully the next couple of episodes give us something to be excited about. I'm cutting cable basically when this season ends and going to Fire Stick, so I won't have to tediously wait each week. I can just watch it at my convenience, which means I'll watch a half season at a time probably in a binge.

My biggest issue with this week's episode is that it was pretty much just a Rosita/Sasha fluff episode, and I really couldn't care less about either of them at this point.

It is totally obvious they are just dragging things out at this point. The showrunners are just very afraid to commit to the ultimate conflict that drives the story. They want to milk character development but don't know how.

Also, Maggie is the furthest along a pregnant woman has ever been, according to her ultrasound pics, without showing a pregnant belly... LOL it is like the show people don't know how pregnancy works at this point.
