Members Juliajms Posted March 6, 2018 Members Share Posted March 6, 2018 Like Vee, I'm over this show. I'll watch someday through streaming, but killing Carl was basically killing the future. Almost everyone from the start is dead. I'm feeling it's all pretty pointless. And yeah, they need to pay the woman. It won't keep me around, but it's only right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted May 29, 2018 Members Share Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) I'm pretty much out (I may catch up on Netflix someday if things turn around), but Lauren Cohan (Maggie) has confirmed she'll be in six of the eight episodes in the first half of next season despite her TV pilot getting picked up. Meanwhile, ex-TWDers Chandler Riggs (Carl) and Chad Coleman (Tyreese, but to me he'll always be Cutty from The Wire) take each other on in a rap battle on TBS' Drop the Mic. It's in good fun yet still cringeworthy. Please register in order to view this content Edited May 29, 2018 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted May 29, 2018 Members Share Posted May 29, 2018 Big day for TV! Collider and EW report Andrew Lincoln has quit and will only be in six episodes next season. AMC is prevailing upon Norman Reedus to take the lead. I like him but good luck. Roll it up, folks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted May 29, 2018 Members Share Posted May 29, 2018 The Walking Dead is the only thing AMC has these days. They are going to wring every drop out of that franchise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted May 29, 2018 Members Share Posted May 29, 2018 Nooo! I had a feeling this was coming. And he'll only be in 6 episodes next season?! I was going to stick with the show, but now I'm done. For me, there is no Walking Dead without Rick, Carol, Daryl, and Michonne on the cast. Rick is the absolute center. They would have a very hard time doing it without him. Season 9 should be the end. It doesn't sound like they're going to end it, but they should. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted May 29, 2018 Members Share Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) Negan was never good for this show. He was a ridiculous comic book character and Robert Kirkman's personal avatar, and Kirkman always dragged the show down. He should've lasted a season tops if you had to do it. It doesn't surprise me he ultimately was what pulled the TV show apart to the point that I mostly stopped watching at the end of S7 and definitely checked out when they fired Chandler Riggs. I assume Lincoln (and next I'm betting Gurira) came to the same conclusion I have, and him exiting after Riggs' unexpected exit does not surprise me. TV is not comics.

Members YRBB Posted May 29, 2018 Members Share Posted May 29, 2018 Yes, it really unraveled with his arrival. Even if I hadn't been watching, I could see the sharp decline in interest from my peers between Seasons 6 and 7. It was almost comical how quickly and low it dropped from being constantly discussed to barely there. It was a good indicator of the reaction from the general audience. The show focused entirely on this barely-believable character, excruciatingly slowed the pace down, and refused to just wrap it up. They devoted the entirety of Season 8 to him too (haven't finished), despite considerable pushback and ratings decline. Then they're choosing this time to lose other popular cast members. Yeah, it's really over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 30, 2018 Members Share Posted May 30, 2018 I know a lot of people never cared for Lincoln or Rick but he was always the lynchpin of the show for me. I loved his work and I loved Andrew's passion for the show and the character. And I loved him with Michonne. This makes the decision to kill Carl even more short-sighted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted May 30, 2018 Members Share Posted May 30, 2018 I didn't mind Andrew Lincoln as Rick, but I hated Carl and was perfectly fine with him FINALLY being killed off. Rick leaving the show is...wow, I really can't imagine the show without him despite how much Rick can suck. The show really does just lumber along now and I pretty much watch out of habit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted May 31, 2018 Members Share Posted May 31, 2018 Good for Andrew! He's made a bunch of money from TWD and it's time to move on. I gave up. Negan was too much for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
