I’m kind of surprised that they’re doubling down with so many people complaining about how bad the show has gotten. Their commercial with the whole “The Walking Dead is once again the best show on television” felt forced and a bit much. Says who? Idk. I still watch but it hasn’t been great in years. Talking zombies in the previews? Oh boy. Also a bit weird to use a quote like that just as they're doing a 5-6 year time skip, writing out some characters and adding some new ones. Even if someone did say that it's "the best show on television," they were talking about the first half of the season, so it doesn't mean that the presumably quite different Rick-less second half will be.

It’s like they’re so afraid of losing viewers that they’re overhyping themselves. This is going to be their second time jump but this time it’s clear that they’re trying to establish Judith as a main character by doing it. I almost expect to see commercials feeding us lines like: “Hey look at this cute kid fighting zombies and upholding her father’s legacy. You have to watch! It’s the best!”

I question the timing of this episode. Going up against Rodgers vs. Brady? Really?

I was expecting the Governor to show up as a ghost. Disappointed he didn't.
Good episode though. Not killing Rick was the right call, leave it open for him to return.
So, I'm guessing the helicopter people are the current group from the current comic series?
Hopefully they don't drag out the Whisperers arc for too long. I wasn't a massive fan of it in the comics, apart from one certain scene. Have that scene as the pre-season finale, wrap up the Whisperers in the opening couple of episodes of next season would be perfect.

Was there a 6 year time jump in the comics?

Was there a 6 year time jump in the comics? No. From the end of the Saviors Arc to the Whispers arc it was 1.5 to 2 years time jump like it was in the TV show
For the TV show seems like they are going to try to make Judith a little bit like Clementine from the Video Games tho I still wonder if they are kicking themselves killing off Carl because this would been big for him as a character especially if they kept the 6 year time skip

I thought the same thing. Would have loved if this was Carl's turn.

I thought the same thing. Would have loved if this was Carl's turn. He was ready for the spotlight. His character had a lot of twist and turns but his actor and his character grew and was coming into their own

Thank god Rick’s not dead. I was praying Jadis was gonna take him in that helicopter.
Where this goes, I have no idea but hopefully it leads to Rick’s return a few seasons down the line to wrap up the show. My ideal scenario would be for Rick to end up at some headquarters of sorts, do testings on the walkers and try to get to the bottom of the cure.
The ending of the show has to have Rick in it. Simple as that.

Felt a bit jump the sharkish. These zombies have been out there rotting for over a decade on this show and suddenly they have the brains to talk. That’s a bit much. I guess they’re going to throw whatever and hope it catches on into the show to get people talking about it since Rick’s gone.

Really good episode. I'm glad Rick isn't dead.. Maybe when they get to the commonwealth saga he will return. I think that Horse is the real villain, he came closer than the Governor or Negan ever came ;D Good to see Shane again.. I do miss his character. The Hershel scene was quite emotional too, knowing that the actor recently passed away in R/L.. Almost like one last goodbye. The Maggie and Negan section was great. I admit I got a bit chocked up at the end.. Damn you Daryl I was wondering where Magna and gang were, there they are. Judith looks bad arse. I'm interested to see where this is going. We have 3 more episodes before the mid season break.. My guess is we will get a whisperers teaser before the break. So yeah, I'm sticking around seeing where they go.

I just watched the episode, and holy f***ing shit. The Shane stuff had me happy, the Hershel stuff had me on the verge of tears, Rick sacrificing himself brought me even closer, and then everything afterwards had my jaw on the floor. That preview got me hyped about this show in a way I haven’t been since Terminus wrapped.
Good god almighty. That was dope.
Oh, and I loved the Negan stuff.

We have 3 more episodes before the mid season break.. My guess is we will get a whisperers teaser before the break. I mean they teased them pretty directly at least twice in the preview for the next 3 episodes. The spot with Darryl and Rosita hiding from the walkers, and then with Darryl, Aaron, and Jesus watching the horde of walkers.

{Spoiler} Seems people are sort of buying into the talking Zombie stuff too which is obviously the whispers. If the rumors are true based upon what I read and will happen then they might get a major shot in the arm and come across as better then they did in the comics

As a big Carol fan, her crazy cat lady look going forward is really disturbing.

{Spoiler}Not sure why everyone is complaining about “talking zombies” when they’re very obviously The Whisperers from the comic books. That group use the walkers skin to disguise themselves.

It's a good hook if you know shit all about things to come
