Hmmm, it wasn’t too bad apart from:

1 x dodgy CGI death
1 x annoying child actor
1 x ridiculous shoot out
1 x protracted death that lasted an episode

So the usual shit then...

Rather than watch episode 3, I began stripping woodchip from the ceiling with a bbq burger slice. It was more entertaining than TWD.

Officially 175% better imagery than TWD has managed since Season 5.

You were the first boy at school to get breasts
And Mr Chris said that you were the best
Oh the boys all loved you but I was a mess
I had to watch them trying to get you undressed
We were friends, that was as far as it went
I used to walk you home sometimes but it meant
Oh it meant nothing to you
‘Cause you were so popular

Malia do you recall?
Your house was very small
With woodchip on the wall
When I came around to call
You didn’t notice me at all

And I said let’s all meet up in the year 2000
Won’t it be strange when we’re all fully grown
Be there with £2 by the Asdas down the road
I never knew that you’d get married
I would living down here on my own
On that damp and lonely Thursday years ago.

Oh what are you doing Sunday baby?
Would like to meet Julia Bradburary?
She will even bring her baby
Ooh ooh oh oh ooh ooh ooh
Etc

I’ve watched the finale.

Not terrible. Here’s things that happened for everyone who stopped watching it.

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
Negan and Ricks camps face off. Unbeknownst to Negan Eugene has sabotaged the bullet manufacturing process and all the Saviours guns backfire.
Sans guns, Rick and company slaughter a few of them until the Saviours give up. They didn’t have any guns anyway.
Rick and Negan face off. Rick cuts Negan’s throat with a piece of glass.
Oh thank god he’s dead.
...
...
...
Negan *chuckle* survives having his throat cut.
...
...
Whut.
...
...
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. He survived. They plan to lock him up forever.
Then everyone goes home with the intentions of building a peaceful community. The war over.
...
...
Oh, and the wimin folk from Oceanside show up at the last minute and throw Molotov cocktails at a small contingent of Saviours that attacked the Hilltop. It last no more than 2 minutes tops. Yup, I’m glad they wasted entire episodes on a bunch of people that had 120 seconds worth of airtime in the final battle. Seriously, their involvement in the story is so little that they could have easily taken out the whole Oceanside plot because it has no consequence at all on the main story.
...
Then there’s a weird sequence with Maggie, Jesus and Daryl where they say Rick was wrong to let Negan live and that they’re going to bide their and eventually make Rick and Michonne pay. It’s a really weird scene and stupid as fuck.

Overall: Meh out of 10. That’s what we were building up to over 2 1/2 seasons and, what, 40 fucking episodes!? Actually scratch that, this programme can get to eating a dick. They just wasted my time. Again.

I dislike the new animated intro. Still, there’s like 4 episodes until Rick dies! Woo-hoo?

Rick’s final episode was, as expected, utter shit. The show passed its prime years ago. I know, right, what a revelation. New information right here for you.

Yeah, the next episode does another time skip where Judith (you’ll remember her) is, like, 10 years old and wears Rick’s hat and has a massive revolver and a sword.

It’s a 5 year time skip and there’s no noticeable change whatsoever. They still look the same amount of decomposed as they have since about season 2 I guess.

Maybe the 3 planned TWD films featuring Rick will be better (they won’t).

What if the zombie virus creates a naturally occurring source of formaldehyde in the victim that builds up over time and puts the zombies into a perpetual constant state once the buildup crosses a threshold at around a year after contracting the virus.

Seems the most logical explanation.

But they'd still need energy in some form to function, and they'd dehydrate in summer, and freeze in winter, and then disintegrate into a mush when they thawed and so on.

Anyway, we've done all this to zombied death already in this very thread :hat:

Blood doesn’t freeze until -2 degrees, the average winter temperature in Atlanta Georgia is 2-4 degrees and rarely dips below 0 degrees. Therefore they won’t turn to mush in the winter.

Well that's one of the most cretinous things about them, hanging around in probably the most zombie-friendly part of the entire continent. Just go somewhere cold and build a fucking fire, zombies be fucked then.

It's so annoying how fucking shit this programme went after starting so strongly.

Urgh, stupid internet was telling me that the latter half of season 9 has been amazing, brilliant, one of the best EVAA!!!!1!!1!!!1! blah, blah, blah. I was going to skip it altogether but then even my mate was texting like “I didn’t see that coming blah blah blah”.

So I’m watching it again.

Actually, I started watching it after rewatching 4 episodes of Barry and, boy, does that programme show off some of the failing of TWD when it comes to creating drama.

Anyway, what had I come here to say...oh yeah...

Hearty would be very angry at episode 15 (I haven’t seen the last one yet) because:

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
Tara gets deadid


Actually

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
A few of them get deadid. 9 of the cast get kidnapped and 3 of them are main-ish characters:

Enid
Tara
Henry (he’s pretty much this 1/2 seasons main character because Carl carked it so he takes his place from the comics).

Anyway, the get kidnapped and all 9 of them have their heads placed on spikes by the Whisperers.


I’m not convinced this half season has been worth watching, despite the Internet proclaiming it Game of Thrones status, because it’s just well past it’s sell-by date. I like that it feels like they’re moving onto one last season and a goodbye though but it needed to do this about 3 or 4 seasons ago. At least it has enough popularity to even have a final season, which is good I suppose for the fans.

They'd better just fucking freeze and then disintegrate into goo when the thaw comes.

Upset about Tara though, she (sometimes) had a decent character arc (depending on who was writing her) and was also very attractive.

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.)

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?
