You know, i just didnt care about any of the characters survival watching the show tonight, i honestly couldnt give a hoot anymore with any of them. I knew it was coming, i hoped it wouldnt, but tonight it came in a wave of meh. I severe lack of dont gives anymore.
All the frowny faces,whiney kids and falling ladies, just tipped my WD enthusiasm to empty. I dont care for any more lame ass characters!
Wheres the rest of the fecking clan- i want to see them- not that E.T woman.

Very lame ending- so i hearby swear my alligence to 'The Murphy'

Pass the zeeweed - im jumping ship.

I need something more than the hope of a good episode next time.

I wanna see if the sniper 10k gets to 10,000 on the other channel - think he hit 3443 last episode.

Jus sayin.
I hear you..though I stopped watching the other one,the humor seems a little obvious and forced to me..I mean,if you watched zombieland,you get all the zombie humor,enough already.While the wd writers seem to be dragging this out as well,too much,I still like it..though I agree with you,the whiny kids and several adults need to fall in a big pit 'o zombies..

Meh. It was an okay mid-season finale, but it had the feel of a show that's been badly cut. I suspect that the last scene went on longer and ended in a major death (well, major-ish, since apparently the primary characters are safe) and a cliffhanger end, but someone (maybe AMC) wanted to cut at the dumb kid saying 'mom'. Might be an attempt to ameliorate the blowback on the dumb Glenn thing, but all it did was end the ep on a flat note. I wish the Wolf had killed Carol--that would have brought a sense of danger back to the show. I still like it a lot, but it feels like too many network fingers in the pie right now.

Right. It didn't come across as a well-planned finale. It looked like they ran out of time and just said "Oh. Okay. That's it for now."

Hi!

Yassss! I agree with you.
I was waiting for you to post. Wanted to know what you thought about it.

I heard A LOT of people being bent out of shape due to the Glenn thing. Felt played and abused. (Plus, it was a lame escape.)

I thought it was good, not great. I think I liked the two-minute prologue than the whole episode better, LOL. I think
Deanna went out with a bang, but I don't like how they ended the episode. I know how that scene goes in the comics so I wish they would have ended that scene completely, instead of us waiting until February to find out what happens.

I am guessing if Sam does not shut up -He is going to be gobbled up with the monsters.

Probably the gross factor. I'm sure it's not too pleasant to be walking around all day with meat drapes on. ;-D
Perhaps, but in this circumstance (which seems to happen every week)... I’d say it’s better to be Red than Dead.

And if it’s good for Lady Gaga, why not Rick and the gang? Hell, they walk around covered with zombie blood half the time anyway. :)

I liked the first half of the season. I thought the first 4 episodes were excellent. It was hit and miss though on episodes 5-8. I like how the season is happening in just a day or two of real time.
I think if they would have shown the Glenn and Nicholas scene all at once instead of splitting it like they did, it would have worked better. I don't think it would have seemed like a cheat if it was shown all at once because we've seen Glenn get out of tough situations before. I think the three week wait created a situation that we were not going to like the results no matter what they did.

The whole Glenn be-gone thing, (is he or isn't he), was handled badly. Last week it was the big miracle at the dumpster reveal (that everyone called), and this week they have Glenn standing around outside Alexandria watching the carnage going on inside, and doing nothing.

I felt exactly the same way... and actually, I think all of the spoilers on different sites flooding the internet with speculation actually takes away the enjoyment of just watching.
I've read more spoilers before the shows have been aired this season than any other and I think it has affected how I approach an episode.

I had a major beef with Morgan bodyslamming Carol. Yikes!
Me too! Whatever happened to
All life is precious? He could easily have killed her doing that. Does he only adhere to his precious ideals when it's convenient? He just lost a LOT of respect from me, doing that. Could have killed Carol over a wolf that PROMISES to kill more people? Yeah. No. I will not shed a single tear when he gets killed off.
I do have one little beef...Why should I be forced into the badlands to see a prologue for The Walking Dead. I call BS
I agree. I refuse to be manipulated into watching that show. If they need to plug it so hard, it must really suck. My humble opinion. I can always youtube the promo spots later.
