What a waste. There was literally no point of bringing him back.
In true TWD fashion, they fucked up another old character for seemingly no reason.
I doubt this show can go another season without offing the fuckin tiger
Comic spoilers/show speculation:Anyone else think they are laying on thick the themes of mercy between Morgan/Jesus/Maggie and just Rick seeing Daryl coldly waste everyone? I wonder if they're preemptively justifying Rick letting Negan live in the Prison. I thought the show would diverge and kill him off but now I'm not so sure. I hope Negan gets to be imprisoned though.
I don't think I care about this show, let me explain.
Because it seems like it's not going to end, the stakes seem less pivotal than the manner that the show presents them. Because of this, I'm less invested in the show. It appears as though the show is recycling the same issues into cliff hangars over and over. I'll reserve harsh judgement at this time, but I'll add that I think I might drop the show. I said this before though, I said this before the season started. Then I watched to see if Negan had got captured yet. What I realized is that I won't really care about the Walking Dead until it's over. There's something about the Walking Dead not having an ending that makes it uninteresting.

I don't think that it's exclusive to this show, I'll say though that I think explaining why you don't care may be somewhat relevant if you were engaged in the show before. Just to present a comparison or to explain a catalyst for a falling out of viewership.Why is it with the Walking Dead people feel they have to explain why they don't care? It's not even a discussion starter it's just complaining.
The Alexandrians are really not that much different than the Saviors, and the show has gone out of its way to detail that.Anyway this whole "we're the same" bullshit that multiple characters are peddling is ridiculous. No Rick's group does not force people into slavery, doesn't kill innocent people, etc. It's such bullshit people are even entertaining the idea. This is war. People die. They are the enemy. That's it. If you are a savior you die it is that simple there is no gray area.

The Saviors stole all the guns from Alexandria.......then the Alexendrians steal all the guns from Oceanside. They flip the bird to Oceansider as they leave, just as the Saviors flip the bird to them as they depart in the S7 finale.
Remember when Rick & Company first massacred the Saviors at the satellite station and discovered a bunch of gruesome polaroids of their victims? Well guess who's now taking gruesome polaroids of victims in the most recent episode? Rick.
While it's not exactly subtle or elegant, the writers are basically telegraphing the idea that the moral line that differentiates the two groups is pretty thin.
They left Oceanside defenseless just to serve their own ends. Not exactly the same as what the Saviors did, but still selfish, brutish, and short-sighted. Oceansiders were completely forced into giving up their guns, rather than convinced it would be for the greater good. Some huge portion of Oceanside's guns are now lost to the Garbage People, since Rick was so eager to enter into an alliance that he never bothered to asses how trustworthy his allies were.Context what is it? The saviors took their guns because they're subjugating people and forcing them into slavery. Rick and Co took those guns to fight a war and they plan to come back to Oceanside. I see the parallels you're trying to make but I absolutely do not buy it
But misdirections are only good if they'res a decent payoff. This just sucked. They literally brought him back to be a fucking grimacing Negan goon and killed him like 3 minutes later. Not to mention the horrendous acting. I mean.. what even happened to this scene? It looked ilke someone off screen was twisting his arm the entire timeI'm of two minds about it - on one hand it was nice misdirection for them to bring back a character from a previous season, making the audience think he was going to be around for awhile (because why bring him back just to kill him off), only to immediately kill him off. It was a legit surprise. But on the other hand, it was a waste of a potentially interesting new character, one who had a history with some of the original characters (tenuous as it might've been).
The cast is already way too big so I'm leaning towards liking it.
Fixed!

These character arcs where "who's gone to the dark side this season?" Are really tiring.
They been doing this shit since Shane arc in S2.
Oh I'm a psycho now. Oh wait now it's next season now I've found buddha. Etc.
Tara the geeky girl who had her girlfriend killed last season. I'm sorry but whatever attitude she's trying to sell I'm not buying it.
What is the count on Daryls dark side arc he must of had 5 by now same with Morgan.
How many of the Saviours have been massacred at this point, they seem to have a non stop supply of red shirts that have got this far and still can't shoot for shit.
Oh look, The King has been humbled, no one saw that coming. Hey I'm no military tactician but maybe don't approach an unscouted five story building with command over the surrounding area as a big group out in the open in the day light.
Seems insane to me. If they start the next episode with some kind of saving private Ryan style shell shock scene where the king is watching his men get ripped up by .50cals I will no longer watch the show anymore.
He vanished and no one has even mentioned him since
Apparently it was zoomed out cause it wasn't the actor. Shooting schedule is all over the place, so that scene was filmed before his death.Yeah. He's dead. That could have been a better send off than a far away shot of his zombified corpse walking away.

The difference between Negan and Rick is Rick is doing what he has to (or thinks he has to) to survive. Negan kills people (and physically and mentally tortures them) for fun and to maintain his position as ruler. How many wives/sex slaves does Negan have vs Rick?
They sure tried to make random dude's death an emotional scene, but kind of hard to when you can barely remember his name lol
He's absurd. He's this super charismatic thespian who calls himself a king and has a fucking tiger. I have no idea how every single one of his followers isn't like,"What the fuck is going on? What are we DOING?"
thats my problem with it. the only reason why Negan is worse is because the show wrote him as an over the top cartoony villian.
like why do people even put up with his BS? he doesnt seem to be some super strong or smart guy. he doesnt even seem that charsmatic like a hitler or something.
both rick and negan will murder whoever gets in their way. negan and then saviors are just written as jerks so we hate them.
People put up with him because they are assholes themselves. He and his captains live in relative luxury. Rick still goes on patrol and scavenges for his group. Negan takes, Rick provides. Yeah they will both kill someone in their way but it actually bothers Rick. I don't remember Rick ever burning someones face with a hot iron or bashing in a random persons skull to teach them a lesson.
The lower ranks are kept in line with fear and his captains are all sadists like him who enjoy fucking with people.
No.is this season any good so far? I skipped out on season 7 pt 2
Did you all see the cars driving on the street in the background
Congrats you just summed up the biggest problem with TWD. This is itThe characters should drive the show, not the other way around. It's like they have so many characters that they forget the personalities they've built into them and have them make ridiculous decisions no real person or at least the character they've established would make.
