Did anyone here enjoy the first half of this season lol? It definitely wasn't my favorite half but I still really liked it. Ya it was extremely slow but I loved seeing the world finally expanding. I feel like they needed to slow down so they could focus on introducing all the new communities and people. If any of these places and characters are around for the long term they needed the focus. I get it doesn't help that 1 community was being shown per episode but I think in the long run it will be worth it. There's now 5 large commmunities and the fight against the saviors is now looking like it's going to be fucking huge.

I'd probably say that the first half of Season 6 was more enjoyable for me. But just looking at Season 7 Part 1 on its own? Yeah, I liked it enough to be coming back for more. The only episode I outright didn't care for was the one with Tara. And even that introduced a new community and gave her some much needed character development. Not my cup of tea but at least it accomplished something.
My real gripe with this season has been the episode lengths. All of the extended episodes have just felt unnecessarily long with scenes that drag on or repeat themselves.

I think it's a safe assumption that people made the walker like that to make it hard to kill, maybe as a form of defense in front of their base.
Lol. Most likely someone just put all the stuff on the walker.
Eric's still alive? They spent the past season and a half building relationships between the characters and I don't remember a single thing between Aaron and Eric.
Yeah, he was in that scene where Aaron got the crap beat out of him.
Fucking in for this. I used to watch Walking Dead regularly until the end of season 3. I started from the beginning last month and I am totally hooked. Negan is fantastic, Rick with his revolver back is going to kick ass (although he'll never be as badass as season 5 Rick), and hopefully Carol goes back into beast mode again.
Ya as far as we know. I wonder where he fucking went tho or if he was taken maybe.Did I miss something?Heath is still alive, right? As far as we know.
Lol ya surprisingly. He had a line in episode 4 while all the Alexandrians were gathered in the church. He asked Rick what they were going to do about Negan or whatever. He also was holding up Aaron when Negan gutted Spencer. Idk why the don't focus on him at least a little fucking more. At least focus on his relationship with Aaron.
I believe Heath is gone until next season and that his disappearing was to give him time to shoot 24.

It's a very odd show to hatewatch, that's for sure. There are far more entertaining shows out there to hatewatch if you're the hatewatching type.

Hey hey...hey... It's Maggie Rhee
I agree about extended episodes being drawn out for the sake of air time; I'm still excited for part 2 though. I wonder what Negan will do when pushed hard enough.

Season 7A was better than Season 6 as a whole IMO.
Oh man, did not realize this was coming back so soon. Looks like my Sunday got a bit better.
Extra from Dark Souls 4 right there.

With expectations like that, there's no way you're going to wind up disappointed.
Dude you aren't getting that until Season fucking 12.

he is a wuss and he's done some fucked up shit too but his knowledge could make him valuable in the future. he made that bullet that Rosita tried to kill Negan with. If this savior bullshit is finally overturned and they get that gunshop working again, it'll be a lot easier to kill zombies.
Nah the writing in this show can border on complete dogshit at times, on a par with the worst shows. For example the hospital storyline or Glenns fake out death. I watch because there is a paucity of zombie media on telly.
Ya well looks like your going to be done most likely. The Governor took a season and a half, I don't see why Negan would be defeated even quicker. I'm guessing it won't be finished till the end 8, possibly the first half of 8 but I doubt that as well.

Comic spoiler ahead
iirc the goodies push back Negan's crew with the help of Dwight until he's practically sieged inside his compound for quite a while right?
If that ^ plays out then I can see
Negan getting at least Usurped
Rick keeps Negan in prison
Getting a little ahead but the show changes a lot around so anything is possible.
Major Comic spoilers
Negan doesn't get pushed back and locked inside the Sanctuary until the very first battle of All Out War. Dwight doesn't help a ton here except that Negan asks him to send a team out the back to the outposts for help. Which I don't believe he does.
But before all that Rick still has to recruit an army which hasn't happened. The first fight at Alexandria hasn't happened which results in the second Lucille lineup. We also have non comic stuff to get through like boots person spying on Alexandria.

i don't see the siege on sanctuary happening till episode 1 of season 8. Pretty sure that's going to be the 100th episode as well. So it would be perfect.

What, specifically, do you want to happen with the Negan/Saviors storyline?
Question:
I saw the issue where it gets revealed that Carl has been talking to Negan in his cell, however I do not remember seeing another Lucille lineup. Who got the bat that time?
So I've been reading the comics recently (for the first time), and I believe the lineup in question is just prior to the war, outside of Alexandria. No one gets the bat, but Lucile does gets shot. Although I am currently halfway through the All Out War arc, so I may be wrong here!
Edit: Further clarification and grammar!
Ah, that sounds kind of familiar now. Thanks.
Comic spoilers
No one gets Lucilled actually. Jesus ended up sneaking behind and grabbing Negan. After that the kingdom with Shiva come in and drive back the saviors.

Personally Can't say I've been anticipating the return like past years, kinda snuck up on me.
I will say the walking dead usually does awesome premeries though. So I will slowly increase my hype throughout the day 🤔

I think so, especially for a few character specific plots.

Oh neat, this show is back. To be honest I thought the Negan visiting Alexandria stuff in the previous ep was great. The awkward tension and fear was pretty well done. Hope they purge more characters right and left.
