'The Walking Dead’ – Season 10 - Sundays on AMC
- Thread starter RatskyWatsky

No way. I consider her story as more of a coming of age story. Even somewhat a redemption story. Plus she's still alive.
Don't worry. They'll magically find another one out in the bush in half a season. They've always got to have a doctor on hand to murderize
This is where I'm at. The whole twist felt flat because Saddiq didn't have too much character development to begin with, his PTSD storyline was boring, and the Dante reveal came out of nowhere as he's a boring tertiary character suddenly turned important. The rest of the episode(s) was absolutely not on par with last season, with tons of useless dialogues and shittons of dumb decisions. The character backgrounds also feel like stuff they already did before. I don't know, I'm not feeling this season at all, everything they're doing feels flat.
I hate it when characters don't speak to each other, in order to force drama. Anyone would have said to Rosita, "It's the water!" And why the hell would it be so easy to sabotage anyway? Also it's established that Aaron has fresh bread each day, but there's no indication he has mentioned to anyone, "Oh yeah, the Whisperers were cutting up walkers in the river for no reason." You'd think that might come up.
The Siddiq twist was interesting but like many others, I never cared about the character in the first place.

It looked credible to me. Dante was bigger, stronger, fresher, and likely had some training from his military days too.
Yeah, last season was a great resurgence but this is back to the Negan seasons. Just so many stupid decisions and plot points.
Season has been snorefest. And I'm down with character building but all the efforts to give the characters some history/character have failed. Maybe seasons should be shorter, they would have to pack more stuff in shorter span of time. Wasting whole episode on these new and old characters seems like waste of time.
Admitedly, I don't know how you can make the show interesting anymore, the whole concept of defending your village became old during three seasons of Negan.

Yep. Their town needs to go. They need to get back out on the road and see new places. But it likely won't happen because that's expensive.
Season 1 was so bombastic, then as the seasons got longer while the budget got slimmer (despite increasing revenue!), the series got more stale. Even season 2-4 which were great had so much "2 people walk in the forest and 2 zombies attack them, #24294" scenes that it was obscene. It is honestly infuriating how one of the biggest shows on TV can't have decent CGI, big battle scenes or proper location changes anymore (I mean the prison showdown against the governor was kinda disappointing but it sure beats the stuff we get nowadays). Or when they do something different indeed, it's for like half an episode, like the much hyped snow part or the beach.
I for one now look back on the prison with fondness. At least it was only for one season. We need more wandering, coming across new areas and people.

I think I understand why people are a little down on it - the overall story isn't moving very quickly, or at least not as quickly as it did last year - but I don't mind it at all. We're getting a lot more character development and interactions, which is what I love to see from the show. I'm happy with how it's been.
By this time last season we had a major character go out in a glorious fashion, a major time skip, tons of potentially interesting new characters, proper dialogue, hints at a new enemy, an interesting dynamic between the groups, and so on. This season... aside the fact Alpha's poisoning the water and the only person who knows from our heroes is conveniently dead now, not a lot actually happened. They kidnapped a whisperer who died. They trespassed again and again but nothing much happened beyond the slow attack. Character evolution kinda stopped. Compared to last season, this one is extremely slow, it's like it was around Negan where they'd go 5+ episodes in a row just chasing CGI deers, collecting wood or building a radio or some shit. I absolutely understand that a lot of people love this season but yeah, it's obviously much different from last year.
Ugh tell me about it. At least we've got..Gage I guess? Even if he is an asshole. What happened to his hot friend? Did he get piked?

A lot of that has to do with the comic, to be fair. The twist with Dante, the inclusion of Gamma, and the poisoning of the water are all show inventions to spice up what was ultimately an extremely uneventful and lame arc in the comics. Like, this half season has been pretty slow, but believe it or not they've broadly covered almost two whole volumes of the comic in just these 8 episodes.
Ehhh, that's debatable lol I've enjoyed this season, but the way they're developing it definitely feels intended to stick with this arc for as long as they can.

Interestingly subdued finale.

Part of me expected that moment from the comics to happen in this episode, but they didn't quite lay the groundwork for it so I'm glad they didn't rush it. It would be on hell of a way to kick off the second half of the season though...
I'm really curious to see where they're going with this Michonne storyline - Danai has fewer than 8 episodes left in the series, so sending her off to an island to gather naval weapons is an interesting choice. Is she going to decide to permanently move to the island with/without Judith and RJ after the Whisperers are defeated? Will she return to Alexandria with the weapons just in the nick of time, only to die heroically?
Also, holy shit @ Gabriel stabstabstabing Dante to death in his cell. I honestly did not expect that storyline to play out like it did.

Just finished catching up on this season. I see we now have doctor's murdering each other for the elusive position. I knew one way or another Siddiq's days were numbered as soon as they introduced the new guy. Truly the Defense Against the Dark Arts job of the Walking Dead. It's a shame, but Siddiq's storyline was kind of annoying me. I mean, not that he didn't go through some traumatizing shit, but a ptsd storyline in a world where literally everyone should have ptsd at this point felt awkward. I guess he was just too pure of heart.
I know Danai is supposed to leave this season but I can't even remember where Michonne's supposed to be right now... packing her bags to be the next character who abandons Judith I guess. That's really gonna be a hard exit to swallow with so few of the long time cast left.
I love Carol but I can only take so much of her chanting "must kill Alpha" while staring bitterly at the horizon. It's Rick v. Negan all over again. Queen Carol in her prime would've had Alpha's head on a spike in 5 minutes and been back in time to bake cookies before dinner. Don't let Alpha become Negan 2.0, Carol... Don't let Lydia pull a Carl by manipulating you into growing a conscience at the last second like Rick. Finish her, Carol.

Ah, he was doing the painting too
Damn he's strong to bend that solid metal handle up like that lol

Aww snap, there it is from the scene teaser from Talking Dead, interrupted before he could knife him in the head.
I thought he was gonna get payback as a zombie, since I didn't realize the baby was in his path, since he turned so fast hehe.
I did too. Just a bite tho so he'd suffer through the episode. He will anyway...
let's just pretend the older the disease is the faster they turn.
