Well that was a whole lot of nothing. Hope the second half of the season picks things up, and doesn't lose steam like the first half did.

That scene between Carl and new Carl. Worst TV scene I have seen in some time.
Its in the 'so bad that its good' category.
Such a nothing episode. The only real drama was the predictable fight between Carol and Morgan, resulting in the escape of Wolfman.
Sweet bejesus that was bad.
What is it with kids and Zombie shows? Every one they introduce to The Walking dead is an idiot, and the kid on The Strain, if you know it, is even worse!
I still think Glenn is going to die soon-ish.
No way will they let him play house with Maggie and the unborn child.
There has to be tragedy in that story line (well beyond everything that has already happened to Maggie) - I'm going with Glenn dying before the baby is born.

The writing on this show is terrible.

Morgan you utter fecking twat. I think it was after the credits but they introduced Negan, didn't expect that one.

They are masters of creating kid characters you want to die a slow painful death, it has to be said. Well, adult characters too, to be fair.
I didn't get to see any end credits.
Morgan you utter fecking twat.
Dammit. My episode cut right with that little kid saying "mom".
Anyway. This season has annoyed me since Glenn died but we all knew he was alive. I'll still watch it because, it something to do on a Monday. But it's all a bit ridiculous now. They have known, from season 1, that covering themselves in Walker guts makes the walkers ignore them. Then why on earth are they not in walker guts every time they go anywhwere. Literally every time you're going outside the walls, you'd be smearing yourself in them.
I'm sure the scene will be on YouTube tomorrow anyway.
Frustrating.
Post credits scene...
I'd have thrown that wiener kid into the swarm.
Exactly, you'd do it every single time just to be sure.
Did anyone find that the Zombies were a bit more active this time? Banging on doors/windows and moved a little quicker than usual?
Little kid pissed me off, so scared of the 'monsters' he listens to that creepy song off Insidious on repeat.
That post credit scene looks promising though.
Season and episode were shite..at least they teased Negan....show should definitely pick up now!
They've come back to that cover yourself in zombie guts thing again, which worked in about episode three or four of season one, but has been discarded ever since. Nice recycling of ideas.
Tbh Coral is probably my favourite character now.
George Costanza was on the Talking Dead and was talking about that upstairs kid. Asked how he didn't have a Beatles or Rolling Stones record but had that shit. Would have killed him for that alone. Then the kid never talks but as soon as they are outside he just starts saying mom and no one even tells him to shut up. Costanza would have lined him up with the Corals and shot them along time ago.
They also asked the creator or writer or whoever the guy was about why they don't cover themselves in the guts all the time. I'll spoiler what he said

Can't remember exactly what he said but basically it is impractical to be covered in it all the time. That the guts would dry and the smell would wear off so they'd have to be constantly redoing the guts on them. Bit of a bullshit answer imo, Constanza didn't seem to be buying it either.
On the spoiler bit, surely they have plenty of opportunities to refresh that? Sounds like bollocks.
Who the hell would want to walk around with that stench on them all the time?
No one. But who the hell would want to beat eaten alive by zombies?
If it's a choice between the two I know which I would be taking. I don't even like showers anyway.
3 good episodes and 5 terrible ones is very poor for something that is supposed to be one of the best shows on TV.
Well they don't need to do it all the time but they've apparently been trapped inside Alexandria for the last few episodes due to the Z's. Why didn't a few of them just do this so they get to another vehicle/whatever and lead them all away. It's appallingly inconsistent.
@ that idiot kid.This programme is bizarre in that half the people who watch it seemingly do so only so they can slag it off.
It's the tv equivalent of a car crash. I gave up once and have missed a whole chunk of it. Joined back in last season and am now thinking of feckin it off again although I must admit I do get a perverse pleasure in seeing how bad it can get.
It doesn't help that once in a blue moon you get a good episode and think "oh it could turn it around here" only for it to revert back to type. I've accepted that those episodes are the exception now and not the rule.
I gave up during the dire second season then came back in the third. I don't think yesterday's episode was as bad as is being made out, barring the tumescent scenes with Coral and the other kid.
Only just realised it was the 'mid-season finale'. The suspense is going to kill us...

Thank you.

I want the baby to be born, Judith to get bitten and for them to discover Judith eating the baby. Top tv.
I didn't mind that episode, I dont mind Carl he plays bit parts nowadays if he was in it often then I'd want him dead but I can bear his 10 mins of screen time spread throughout an hour.
I Hope ricks new piece gets more tv time because I like her character plus she's really pretty.

At least he is funny at times.Shambolic season. After a very good and hope lifting second half of last season we've pretty much reached rock bottom here. Honestly, I'm not sure if I want even a single person to survive. Rick I suppose, definitely his new woman as well, who's behaved impeccably throughout this whole mess. It gets difficult from there on. I have an unhealthy desire to see almost all of the others get ripped to shreds very slowly by the walkers.
I liked how this (half) season took place in the space of a day and all the cues that tied the episodes together (the truck horn, "help?").
One thing that didn't really get addressed was the tower falling. There was that weird trail of broken slats all the way up the wall. Do walkies climb now?
I agree with those who think this was a poor episode though.
