The show is definitely dragging things out and a lot of the negativity is on point but most shows 8 years in will struggle with relevance and story arc.
7 years is long, but Game Of Thrones has been on as long and has only increased over time. Same with Breaking Bad, it had exponential growth at the end after 5/6 seasons.It still has more than triple the viewership of anything else on cable. After 7 seasons you can't really expect any show to be putting up the same numbers it did in its prime. I suspect AMC is still pretty extraordinarily happy with the show.
You think the pacing is good? Has even a full single day happened this season? lol
I am enjoying it more than last year.Man, what a negative thread.
I'm just coming in here to say that I've absolutely loved this season so far. I feel like the pacing has been spot on and just what I wanted. No episode thus far seems like a complete waste.
Loving the season.
yay positivity.
Complete meh,So how how are things? I watched the premiere then haven't really bothered to catch up yet with this season.
Easily the best zombie scene in.. well shit I don't know, two years? They actually felt menacing and threatening.Good episode. I really like the scene when the walkers went inside the sanctuary. That scene was pretty good.
I don't think the writers, creators or AMC really planned things out as far as story arc when the show began. I reckon its hit status took them by surprise and they are creating as they go.

That being said, the reaction from people after next week's episode ends is going to be something truly special.
What happens? I've lost all interest in watching the show and haven't read the comics, so could you possibly message me what happens or spoiler tag it in here?That being said, the reaction from people after next week's episode ends is going to be something truly special.

Apparently Eugene something something and they escaped.
lol nah he's done, man. His shtick is so over.I hope we get to hear Cyborg say "and yet I smile" at least a dozen more times in the mid season finale.
I will say, the lighting and music when the walkers were pouring in was the only time they've felt like a threat.. since I can even remember. That was a pretty cool scene.
I also have noticed that this season has kind of dragged and hasn't accomplished much. Rick's storyline with the garbage folks especially seemed meaningless.
I hope that after next episode we get the time jump and the Whisperer arc starts
Not every show can be Game of Thrones though. As it's been pointed out, interest in those shows ramped up when the overall arc was nearing its obvious conclusions. TWD could be a better show to be sure, but at the same time I'm not really certain what another showrunner or writing team could do to stem the loss of viewership. By its nature the program is going to be mostly meandering and centered around a revolving series of conflicts......at some point people will just lose interest in those cyclical stories.7 years is long, but Game Of Thrones has been on as long and has only increased over time.

Ha, seriously, it seemed like his plan was 'shoot the zombies''. Also, what is up with Gabriel, how did he get so sick have they ever said?
It's was okay but the phasing is off.
Heavy front loaded action early season then starts to crawl
While I haven't read the spoilers, we are apparently in for some kind of big shakeup in the next episode, and that will mark a notable divergence from the comics. I'm thinking they may be signalling the slow wind-down of TWD proper by going completely off the rails.Agreed. If the show seemed to be moving towards some sort of conclusion I think it would be more well liked. Right now it's just random plotlines and definitely no end in sight.
Walker guts. Which is not canon at all but would actually make sense...just not after both shows and the comics have them doing it time and time again with no issue. What a clusterfuck. Up there with retconned scratches and the cure episode. Lord lolHa, seriously, it seemed like his plan was 'shoot the zombies''.

Eugene is an idiot and this season's plot line is weak.
Dont think the Whisperers will happen till next season. We still have the Alexandria bombing which should happen next episode I assume. But we also still have the final battle at The Hilltop when all the communities relocate there.
