It was 100% lame the way all of a sudden the Saviors are out, organized, and in full force

Just.

Like.

That.

Total fucking bullshit. They'd be damn near out of ammo after dealing with the incursion.

Just horseshit writing the way they all of a sudden are out and back on top like that.

They're in the exact same place (i.e., they screwed) they were last season.

I don't understand how Rick and Co. can kill like 300 Saviors and destroy all of their outposts yet still be getting their asses kicked.

I think that was the implication.

Carl hasn't been interesting since he went after Negan.

Exactly. Just terrible show running.

I do like how Rick ditched the trash people, though, when his ride showed up.

Muslims representin' in this show tonight.

They'll show up again this season and annoy.

Hey, remember that helicopter?

Probably wasn't important.

File that for 10 episodes from now (2 calendar years IRL). But, be sure to have a photographic memory of whatever happened in that scene.

You know me like that.

3 years into the Zombie Apocalypse, I know Rick has been busy, but wouldn't you think he'd mention it in an off-handed manner as they traveled in the car?

"Hey, I saw a helicopter fly over my head yesterday. Thought that was weird. It was probably nothing. Forget I mentioned it."

I thought of 28 days later with that helicopter scene... saying it's not global... just local ya know.

If they really wanted to freak out viewers, an alien shuttlecraft should have flown overhead.

Then you don't know what the hell is happening. Carl could be cured with alien technology.

Is that a thing in this series? Didn't Rick see a helicopter in the second or third episode, and no one believed him?

He saw one a couple episodes ago when he was trekking to see the Trash People.

I'm in shock, can't believe they killed Carl. Not sure what this does for the future story lines since he is such a major player going forward. This is easily the biggest departure from the source material the series has had. Killing Andrea early was no big deal since there were already several strong women in place who could take her place seamlessly. But, killing Carl is massive. It's massive for the time jump and the whisperers.

Well, I guess this means that Gimple doesn't want to be tied down to the comics as much so he better have some good ideas lined up.

_________________

It's a fuck you to Kirkman. AMC told Gimple to forget the comics and kill Carl as an F-U to Kirkman since he's suing AMC.

Probably why Gimple looked so uncomfortable trying to explain it. He's a corporate puppet.

Makes sense now that I think about it.

Just my theory.

This was wrong, by the way. Apparently Carl had just bought a house in the area a week or so before and planned to delay college for a year and stick with the show. Then Gimple called him and his parents and told him he's out.

Sucks for him but he sounded almost relieved to be off this shit show.

Yeah his dad went off on Gimple and AMC on Facebook this morning.

Gimple has ruined this show.

He doesn't.

He's a hack who took the show from watchable to shit.

Was he the moron that did the Negan scene split between seasons? I stopped after that, its one thing to have a cliffhanger but that was so cheesy and stupid.

_________________

Yep.

It's no surprise they've lost millions of viewers but AMC keeps feeding into him.

What?

I think your accuracy is suffering quite a bit in this thread.

Kirkman has multiple shows on AMC and is still heavily involved in all things TV show Walking Dead.

Do you mean Frank Darabont?

No Kirkman is also suing AMC.

You left out the part where I said that was just my theory.

But, as Peeps said, I did not mean Darabont. That's another older lawsuit. And I question how much Kirkman is involved in anything related to the TV show Walking Dead. What I've read, he's been given the Darabont treatment with regard to the show.

I was surprised to see him recently on Talking Dead. But, as you mentioned, he does seem to have other shows in development with the network but I know nothing about the details of those arrangements.

I appreciate your questioning the accuracy of all my comments in this thread based on your misunderstanding of my reference, though. Keeps one on their toes.

What a clusterfuck. AMC pimps this every commercial break.

So Darabont was removed by AMC, Mazzara was removed by Kirkman and replaced with Gimple. Gimple then deviates from Kirkman's vision, and now Kirkman and Mazzara are suing AMC together while AMC just greenlit another show for Kirkman with Kirkman's name in the fucking title?

Forget the Talking Dead, they need a show just to recap the shit going on behind the scenes. Until last weekend, I was 3 episodes behind and happy thinking I quit the show. Then I caught up and I hate it. What a terrible midseason finale...8 episodes of making "action" put people to sleep.

It is possible, but Everything I have seen and read says that Gimple told Chandler Riggs and Andrew lincoln about the story turn before June of this year, when the scenes were shot.

The lawsuit was not filed until August:

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr-e ... it-1029197

Of course, there could have been some fluffing and negotiations before the suit was filed, but my first instinct in this situation was to think that a LaVar Ball type thing was going on, wherein Riggs' father was an over-bearing agent-type with the TWD people, him being a minor until June and all.

Reading his now-deleted angry Twitter reaction, wherein he claimed Chandler was "Fired" (those are strong words) after being promised work for 3 years, that was the big tip off.

That doesn't make sense. If the father is an overbearing agent type then why get rid of the kid 2 weeks before he becomes an adult and you'll never have to speak to the father again. If they put up with him for 7 years I'm sure they could've put up with him for 2 more weeks till Chandler became a legal adult.
