I'm done.
Once I start watching a series, I always hang in there -- even when it jumps the shark -- until the end.
Not this time.
Cant do it.
Liar, see ya next season.
shareNah. Last season to this season? Yes, I'm a fraud. I tried again b/c of all the reviews suggesting this season marked a return from the doldrums. They're wrong. Now I wont be fooled again.
shareThis season was the worst ever. Without Rick and Maggie there isn’t anyone else with a plan or with balls. The second half of the season was ultra bland and stupid. The writers and the show runner should go.
shareAgreed. Other than a several main characters dying/leaving the plot did nothing in 16 episodes that should have only taken around 4. Seemed like they really stretched out and padded each episode to the point of great boredom. Sometimes padding can be excellent and interesting if it is done well or helps us learn more about the minor characters or some funny little detail about a main character. But...pretty disappointing.
shareI really liked this season, and applaud Angela Kang's vision. It has kinda become essentially a modern-day western. I like the character development, because honestly...if you simply had zombie attacks, gore and action every episode, it would get tired after one season. TWD is simply a victim of its own early success and uniqueness. It's still a great show and story, but people are no longer as shocked at the boundaries it pushes....because now they're used to a ground-breaking show like this.
Even for the people whose attention spans have wandered, I'm still surprised (and reluctant) to believe....if they've been invested for this long, they're not incredibly intrigued with where all this ends up.....what will ULTIMATELY happen to these people. Who will go the distance? What does the rest of the world look like? What became of Rick? What caused the ZA, and how does it get solved?
It's ultimately a story about the fall of society, and civilization....and how people revert to their basic (savage) instincts. And then....how they find their humanity again. It's about the strength of the human spirit--how much it can withstand, and still allow people to stand back up yet again.
Even the look & feel of this season has been hauntingly beautiful. And the finale? I'd argue, the second to last episode could be considered the finale. The haunting winter storm of the last episode was simply the cherry on the top of Season 9. Bring on Season 10! As long as Norman Reedus is in (and as long as ultimately, we have the promise that this entire story will end the way it began, with RICK)....I'm still way in.
I agree with Ripkens25. Bring on Season 10!
shareI’ll have the same as whatever you are smoking.
