Zombie tiger vs zombie ice dragon. Would watch for the 1.3 seconds the battle would last.

That was probably the saddest death on this show.

I wish they would have made Sheba's final scene a little more of a dire situation. Oh no! 10 zombies and a gradual muddy slope! Go on without me! It wasn't like they couldn't have gotten out of that situation without losing someone.

Also, the gun fights are just silly now.

Or, you know...take care of the walkers from on the bank instead of jumping down in there without a plan.

Also, I like how a single 50-cal from at least a quarter mile away can take down 30 Kingdomers scattered across a huge open field, but half a dozen or more "good guys" with automatic rifles can't take down Negan and his lieutenants from 20 feet away when they're clustered on a loading dock.

We've been going strong with this show through the bad and good, but even the wife said that she's probably done by midseason if this nonsense doesn't let up.

I liked the part during the humvee/Jeep chase where the Ma Deuce sounds were an M60 or something when they vantage point was Ricks, but it was a real .50 cal sound when the vantage point was from the Humvee. Ain't nothin' out there that sounds like an M2, except, well, an M2.
Aside from that I was entertained. That's all I want from this show, at this point.

Lots of full auto firing.

That's the extent of this season's activities, so far.

You know what got me on this episode. When Carole and Dude were taking the king away and they were crossing some train tracks, they killed some Zombies with a knife...WTF was up with those sound effects? Since when does stabbin a zombie in the head sound like your stoping on a piece of wood! Worst sound effect ever!

I won’t even go into how he couldn’t get rick when he was 10 feet away from him.

Agreed with this.

The new writers are killing this show.

It jumped the shark in 2015 for me. Last I heard Glenn went clubbing and never came back.

-Horde of zombies about 10 feet behind the king and creepy dude.
-Let's stop and have a conversation for 30+ seconds
-Zombies politely stop advancing until conversation is done.

Really, no one has mentioned the 50 cal shooting at the jeep and the bullets sparking and bouncing off the grill? But they show giant pancake sized holes in the Kingdomers.

1 direct hit and that jeep would have been toast.

I think that was covered in the "the gun fights are silly now".

I found the ricochet sample pack they used:

Where's that guy who works on the show?

Dude, the bullet hit CGI effects are total garbage. It's season 8, why are there so many ugly effects going on?

The front of the jeep gets hit numerous times, there's no holes then all the sudden some hose is hit and steam starts spewing out. During the Carol/Bad guy shoot out it was too noticeable how you can see the stray bullets spark behind them, but there wasn't any noticeable damage.

They got too trigger happy with these gun battles and they just look lazy and sloppy.

Got around to watching the latest episode last night. Honestly, I fast forwarded through most of it. Coolest part: giant battle axe dude cleaves Negan's nerd in half! The CGI tiger dying was the worst. That made me sad for a second.

The rest of the episode was hot diarrhea.

This show is a shell of itself and it keeps getting worse. Like many of you, I'm not sure why I'm still watching.

I was never in the propane or who mows the grass crowd with this show before, but as dudes were packing the M2s up I was thinking to myself that if they were smart they'd be taking the brass with them for reloading.

The stabbing zombies in the head is by far the dumbest thing that has ever happened in this show. They just do it so casually. *THOKK!* <pull it out and move to the next> *THOKK!* <next>

Ever tried to stab any piece of bone with a knife, much less a skull? It's hard as hell to get anything more than a glancing blow. Beyond that let's say that you do penetrate their skull, good effing luck getting that thing back without some effort. Our brains are encased by stuff that's a good bit harder than cantaloupes.

I'm about done, with the show and the comics. If you guys think that the show has really run out of potential for stories you should see what the books are up to these days.

Indeed. Ridiculous.

This past weekend I went to a kickass new paintball place that has a Vickers FV433 "Abbot" SPG and a an FV432 APC you can rent for some tank-on-tank action. They have full auto paintball "machine guns" mounted on both.

For an hour we chased each other around a field blasting away. I landed more hits at 50 yards with a goddamn paintball gun while holding on for dear life as both maneuvering tanks did 25mph over uneven ground than that dude did firing at Rick's jeep.

Its always been like this. Bullet hits with zero damage. We spent a ton of time on the Ranger getting shot up. To add damage to every single bullet hit would be ridiculous time and money, especially this season. And I have expressed my concerns with that 50cal. You guys are talking about a metal car getting shot but no one said anything about a human shield vs. a 50cal......

Finally someone said F U to Gregory. Something has always bugged me about his character though; We're supposed to believe he was the leader of this place, but he sure seems like bumbling idiot. How in the world was he in charge? Or is his acting so bad it makes him look like a dumbass.

Michone apparently has supersonic hearing. And good idea just leaving that cache of weapons/stuff to go check out at the Sanctuary.

This show has become like SoA was for me the final season. It was so bad and full of holes, but I kept watching just to see how it all ends.

The Gregory thing I buy simply because in a stressful situation someone stepping up tends to get the herd mentality going. He doesn't have to be the best, but most people will look to someone else to be in charge and once he established himself as the leader and life was pretty good no one wants to rock the boat. Look at nearly any business and you'll find a Gregory.

If you are waiting to see how it all ends, well, you probably have many years to go before they pull the plug. It makes AMC good money, no way they shut it down now.

ROFL at Eugene trying to kiss Neigan's hand. They need to really kill him off. It's really stupid though how many times Rick has to keep telling people to stick with the plan and they always go off the rails.
