'The Walking Dead’ – Season 10 - Sundays on AMC
- Thread starter RatskyWatsky
- Start date
Yeah, swerved at the end there to perhaps one of the best one-offs since Eastman. Very RPG-sidequest-I-wish-were-in-games-more to that ending.
That was a good episode, amazing what they can do when they focus on something without cliffhangers that go on and on and on
Sorry I just saw "season 10" and found it a bit funny considering how much the quality of the show had decreased when I stopped watching many years ago. Didn't mean to offend, carry on!
The Negan years are bad bad bad but the season after that finally ended (S9) rebounds hugely and is one of the best seasons of the show, despite Rick leaving near the start. I'd definitely recommend giving it a shot eventually.
Am I the only one that liked the Negan seasons? To me it was way better than the ones with the Whisperers.
The Negan seasons are alright. The absolute worst stretch of the show is during the Governor stuff.
Incredible episode. Started off a bit slow but really delivered midway on.
At first I was actually a bit pissed that Gabriel killed Mays after all that redemption talk he just spouted. For a second I thought we were getting a new character for the final season (I don't read the comics so I had no idea if Mays was featured or not), but then they went up to his bunker and yeahhh...
Was Mays lying about his brother attacking him and he was actually the one who attacked his brother for food and then locked him up? Either way, the most fucked up part was his twin brother mumbling "he made me play" which was a bit hard to hear but basically confirmed Mays made his brother play Russian roulette with his family where he killed them instead of himself, leaving their corpses by his feet as a constant reminder of what he's done. Not sure why Gabriel was trying to save him, the man clearly went insane awhile ago and him snatching his gun to finally kill himself was poetic justice, something he should have done the first time when playing with his family as Gab and Aaron did.
The final shots of them and their family before the outbreak can hit home hard, how seemingly normal and happy individuals can turn into what we saw.

The final episode of this bunch is an adaptation of the Here's Negan comic series, so you're definitely getting one.
Awesome! I still like his character despite not everyone here being on that page.
I'm pretty sure that's what this entire mini-season was designed to be. It's essentially covid related "filler" filming (in a good way) where they had the time and opportunity to focus on individual characters and some of their backstory, without interrupting the flow of the "real" next/final season.
oh wow, I guess I was an outlier - I found the Gabriel/Aaron episode very predictable. Lots of overt signposting. I like both of them and I always wanted the show to use them more, but I wasn't feeling this one as much because it felt like it was meant to be "shocking" and then just wasn't. I did like the pictures of Mays and his family, though, that was a nice touch. Not just because it showed normality, but because he put them there for his brother to see.

Looks like AMC confirmed that the final season will air in two 12 episode chunks

10.20 Not really a fan of them using the hallucination trope with another character in the same season but Paola Lázaro did great, and I loved how most of the episode was just in the train car. Also, a good introduction to the Commonwealth without revealing too much before s11
Hello. I watched Season 9 on netflix about a thousand years ago. Just wondering what the hold up is. Based on the title of this thread, it sounds like season 10 is like 3 years late?
NO spoilers please.

Season 10 got extended, the final 6 episodes are airing now with the 4th coming this Sunday.
Was it a mini season? Shouldn't season 10 have aired on tv 2 years ago at least?
22 episodes total
8 episodes aired fall 2019, 7 episodes aired spring 2020
COVID delayed the original finale from April to October (episode 16)
then they decided to extend the season an extra 6 episodes that filmed once lockdown restirctions were ending and those are airing now

Solid episode. Princess feels like a fully-fledged character now and we got some more Commonwealth setup.
All these mini season eps have felt like filler to me except for 'home sweet home' to a lesser degree. I disliked the whisperers seasons so I am glad that story arc is over and done with.
I guess the show hasn't really been the same for me since Rick's departure. I've come this far, so I'll be sticking around until the end.....but I think I am done with the whole universe after S11.
Well that was "Fly" if "Fly" had no thematic purpose in mind, and is definitely in the running for worst TWD episode
Give NBC the ratings on Sunday, even if you're curious to see Dog make Carol miserable

Weakest episode of this mini-season but I found it amusing and the 2 characters are my favorites.
If this had been an episode that wrote Daryl and Carol out of Season 11, I'd have given it 5 stars
Yeesh. That was easily the worst TWD episode in the entire series. Can't really blame it on being apart of the pandemic mini-series because the other episodes so far have ranged from good to great with the episode "One More" being one of the better episodes the show has ever done.
At least we end with an episode dedicated to Negan's backstory. Should be great.

Watching Darryl wrestle with a walker, I'm left wondering how the fuck any of them have any muscle tone left in order to effectively counter him. I guess it's a general suspension of disbelief, if we are going to scientifically look at this, if the virus isn't muscle-sparing somehow, then I would think that over time the zombies should be withering away.
This is correct, especially in hotter areas they should turn to slush. I guess we just have to believe there are tons of people still turning everywhere.
