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
I can't believe there was seven episodes of buildup for that weak reveal. Dante, a character that randomly showed up out of nowhere at the start of this season killed Siddiq, a mostly unimportant tertiary character, in the lamest of ways. Like there wasn't even a cool fight scene or an "oh shit" moment where another character witnesses the murder or anything. Siddiq just gets put in a chokehold and that's it... meh.
I really liked last season but this one has felt very underwhelming and uneventful so far. We're already at the mid-season finale and it feels like not a whole lot has happened, and Michonne has barely been in it despite this being her final season.
It looked credible to me. Dante was bigger, stronger, fresher, and likely had some training from his military days too.Siddiq's character got screwed. The reveal was good but he went out weak.
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.I'm surprised (and kinda not surprised) a lot of people aren't feeling this season.
I've been digging it so far and this last episode was probably the single best episode in years, IMO. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

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.
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.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.
How the hell have you watched it already?Interestingly subdued finale.
(comic)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.
The World Before
A fight causes tensions in Oceanside while the Alexandrians set out on a high-stakes mission.
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...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.
Remember in the first season when it took people 8 hours to turn?
Now they turn in like 8 seconds. lol
Yeah lolI did too. Just a bite tho so he'd suffer through the episode. He will anyway...
