I'unno. They stressed in the premiere that they haven't had much luck finding food, which is what caused them to check out the army base. And it makes sense that its supplies would still be there if the placed is infested with zombies; that'd scare most people away from trying.It is weird they keep finding old food supplies so many years in the apocalypse.
After 12 years, I would expect them to find nothing though.I'unno. They stressed in the premiere that they haven't had much luck finding food, which is what caused them to check out the army base.

Why is this show so in love with Negan? He should have died several seasons ago.
The spoilers are for episode 2:
The spoilers are for episode 2:
Because he's a complete asshole who brutally murdered two close friends of the remaining main cast, there was no reason for him to be put into prison instead of being killed, he showed no remorse, didn't apologize etc., they killed others for less. But Negan gets to live, is freed, still shows no remorse, is still an asshole and still dangerous. Him doing the "I won't kill you but I don't have to save you either" thing with Maggie proves he hasn't grown that much. That was the moment he could have proven to Maggie that he changed, he chose not to so why the fuck keep him around all this time? If the show had given him an actual redemption arc I could live with it but this is ridiculous.
Ugh😤
Im currently trying to get through the six covid episodes... its sooo boring... i just cant finish the daryl episode... can i just skip it?I don't have AMC's subscription service (and I'm shocked by the number of people in this thread who do) but the first episode was a sleep-inducing bore repeating the same beats we've seen a billion times as this show slowly shambles towards the finish line.
It releases a week earlier on AMC+ which is confusing yes.Wait there's a second episode already?
I just checked and there's only one on Disney+ (UK)
Absolutely. Nothing in those bonus episodes is necessary. There's some solid stuff in a couple of them, but completely non-essential.Im currently trying to get through the six covid episodes... its sooo boring... i just cant finish the daryl episode... can i just skip it?
He's realized that no matter what he does, they aren't going to see him as one of them after all the stuff he's done, especially with Maggie being back now. But he is still one of them since he's being allowed to live with them, so he's just doing what he thinks is right to get things done, whether they agree with him or not.I don't get why they threw away the whole Negan becoming a better guy arc they spent so much time on
Also, the exact situation they were supposedly trying to avoid...still happened anyway....lol.Maggie: Negan is an asshole, he saw me in trouble and didn't try to save me.
Also Maggie: Let that kid Gage die.
Yeah I thought this and also how do the walkers not trip? They have real good spatial awareness for shambling deadAnother oversight that annoyed me was at the end before Daryl showed up to save them they must have killed like what, 20 or more walkers as they walked through that tiny ass traincar door? Wouldn't the bodies just pile up in front of them which would block more walkers coming through?
When dude said 'hot take' I was like nah that phrase just started to get use way after this series began. You can't throw current vocab in the show and act like we're supposed to ignore it lol.Can we talk about how the phrases 'hot take' and 'living rent free in someone's head' just showed up in The Walking Dead universe...
I may be wrong....but arent these relatively recent phrases?
Also, the exact situation they were supposedly trying to avoid...still happened anyway....lol.
So dude literally died for nothing.
He is.
On one hand, it was too stretched out, nothing as good as season 1 or 2. On the other hand, binging it still made me continue.For someone who hasn't watched pass season 7, is seasons 8-11 worth catching up on? I had fatigue during season 7 and generally season 7 felt so slow to me but it's also been 4 or so years since then. Are the newer seasons worth watching?

Seasons 7 and 8 are definitely the series' low point (followed by seasons 1 and 2). 9 and 10 are some of the best seasons of the show though. Too early to say re: S11 but it seems to be shaping up nicely.
Yeah.Just watched episode three.
Holy shit what an opening. There were some really tense moments this episode. A lot of b-tier character deaths, but still. Seeing Maggie and Negan get forced together by circumstance has been interesting, I'm really curious to see how things play out with them. I was certain one will eventually kill the other, but now I'm not quite so sure.
Carol killing the horse was sad, but they're in some hard times right now.
Alden is absolutely not gonna be (alive) there when Maggie comes back for him.
Really liked the episode all-in-all. Love the vibe this season has so far.
Season eight wasn't great to me when it aired, but while I haven't gotten to it yet in my rewatch, I get the feeling that it'll be much more tolerable when binged versus watching it one episode per week. I've seen people who have rewatched it (or watched it for the first time) echo a similar view. Meanwhile, season nine is my favorite season of the whole series, and season ten was pretty good overall too.For someone who hasn't watched pass season 7, is seasons 8-11 worth catching up on?

Honestly every major plot point going way back feels like the writers picked the wrong fork in the road each and every time.
So, episode 5
The season has been decent thus far but I feel like they're somewhat mishandling The Commonwealth. It should be presented to the audience as a big fucking deal, but it feels to me like they're seriously underplaying it. The season premiere (or the second half of the two part premiere) should have been focused entirely on The Commonwealth - all of Eugene, Yumiko, etc's scenes so far this season collected in the one episode.
Let the audience feel the magnitude of what the Commonwealth is by spending a whole episode there. A city with a population of 50k? With pro sports teams and bands and cake shops and whatnot? That's a seismic shift for the world of The Walking Dead and a really important set up for the final season and yet they only gave us glimpses of all that in episode 5 - in between the usual scenes of Maggie and Negan bickering as well as Carol and Aaron combing through the wreckage of Hilltop. The other scenes diluted the impact that The Commonwealth scenes should have had.
I get that they're trying to build a contrast between the crumbling world of Alexandria and the prosperous world of The Commonwealth but first The Commonwealth needed its own introduction episode to really get the audience acclimated to the new world order.
The Commonwealth just feels underwhelming so far when it really should have been the big mic drop moment of the final season. It doesn't help that it feels very small right now. I generally roll my eyes at all the tired and misguided budget complaints that the show has accrued over the years, but when they panned out to show the larger Commonwealth area (it wasn't meant to be the whole city, to be sure, but that shot was still trying to convey a "hey audience, look at this!" moment) and it looked like it could have been Woodbury instead...yeah they needed a bigger budget for that establishing shot.
