You guys obviously haven’t read the Zombie Survival Guide. That explains what happens to zombies when they freeze and thaw out.

The last episode was pure filler: nothing happened and it went nowhere. Some of the zombies did freeze though.

I suppose we’ll have to wait until next season to see them thaw. Maybe that’ll be how it ends in the final season. They just turn to goo. The. End.

There's more detail in World War Z (which is a properly good book, and tonally much more serious than the Survival Guide.)

I’ve read them both, obviously.

It’s finally ended.

Jesus Christ, the last season and especially the finale was absolutely unapologetically completely utterly fucking terrible.

Everything about it was terrible. The story? Hopeless. The big baddies were the least terrifying bunch they’d come across yet (basically just ‘some rich woman with an army of incompetent stormtroopers’). The musical score? Dreadful. Fucking daytime television soap drama bullshit. The characters? The worst of any season. People you could barely give a shit about. The directing? Again, just soap drama level.

I see it got about 2m viewers for the finale which is really bad. At its peak it had like, what, 50m?

Good riddance. But wait, what, there’s 5 fucking spin offs coming next year? Jesus H Christ. And they introduced variant zombies in, about 3 episodes from the end? Will this corpse just fucking rot away already.

I was aware this had finally come to a close, when was it last watchable? 2015 maybe? IIRC I gave up on it at the end of 2016 midway through one of the seasons, just didn't return for the second half of the season.

I do remember I fell out with it whilst many others were still enjoying it, for me the writing was well and truly on the wall from a reasonably early stage. Certainly by Season 6 a lot of the shine had worn off.

The best bits of this whole thread were definitely the arguments about how the zombies would make it through winter.

My Mum mentioned that she has only got the final episode to watch now. I had not even realised that is was (until recently) still going.

I think I stopped watching around the series set in the prison (S3 or S4, I forget, whatever).

Reading this thread, I'm glad I didn't ever bother to go back and try again.

Every time I see someone mention this book I remember how much Zardoz HATES the illustrations from it, and I like remembering that.

So what was the message of the show then? Was it about the farms we made along the way?

I’ve watched the first episode of the special “The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live” which tells the terribly exciting story of how Rick was picked up by some military dudes after he was impaled by a spike and blew up a bridge and how Michone went looking for him. It was going to be a film until they realised no one gave a shit.

The first episode is fucking boring and reminded me how bad those later seasons were; cause it’s doing all the same things. Shout outs to lengthy stories about “When I was a kid, my dad blah blah blah” when someone just wants to have a nice sit in peace and people talking in vague riddles about “What do you want for tea?” “Peace. To survive. I knew a guy who, when he was a kid blah blah blah” “Fine. You’re having chips again”.

I enjoyed the series, but I've never watched the Walking Dead, only the more recent spin-offs, so I've no boredom to fight against.

This is unfathomably boring, trite, rubbish. The fourth episode is just the pair of fannie’s sitting around talking for 40 minutes and the worst artificially injected drama 30 minutes into it where a chandelier of all things falls on michone. “Leave me. Save yourself” she says, despite people being trapped underneath something being a weekly occurrence since the fucking series started.

Of course they fend off the, um, 3 shambling zombies without any sort of drama whatsoever (as is customary for the series) and a stab to the head like a the zombies were made of hot butter.

I’m so glad they didn’t try to make a film…fucks sake

What the ever loving FUCK was that ending?

Is Rick’s son…special? Is the actor? THAT was their best take?

Oh man, you’ve all got to see this.

The series was shit, by the way. No drama, no atmosphere, no tension, barely anything happens and the story is concluded by a big bomb that kills all the baddies in one go which, unbelievably, the stars avoid by hiding under a plastic sheet. THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENS.
