No need to reply to people who aren't saying anything about the episode.
And if by Janis, he means Jadis, it is not clear her arc has ended.
That's what is meant by "replies to thread." They aren't posting in the thread about the show.
I thought this last episode was pretty damn good, for a change. Lots of strategic maneuvering by Negan that actually led somewhere. The puking escape was awesome. It was a reckoning for the coup on Negan for sure. And I like that he manned up to take Simon out squarely and left no doubt. Dwight's back in a pickle but he seems to stay there most of the time.
Yeah, no need for me to post if all that is here is a bunch of people whining about how boring it is.
I think it is interesting to see how this final(?) battle will play out. Final in the sense of a settlement between the Saviors and Rick's crowd.
I think all the whining about how to bring the show to a conclusion is silly, It is a documentary of an alternate future, and futures don't have endings. Those guys would clamor for the story of Western expansion to end when Lewis and Clark reached the Pacific safely. If you want a story with a happy ending, watch Love Actually.
Last night's episode is probably the best in two seasons. We got to see that Negan is a bad ass even without Lucille when he killed Simon without out the bat. The story is departing significantly from the comic book, Eugene's is one example a big weasel on the show he never evolved into a fighter like the comic, Dwight is supposed to take over the Saviors but it doesn't look like that will happen on the show unless next week has some major surprises.
I don't know, man. The Puke-jit-su, was pretty awesome.

By your own words you haven't watched in two seasons so why "waste" your time reading about a show or commenting on something you must take someone else opinion on?
You personally dont have a ******* clue on if its the worse or greatest show on TV. You let other tell you what to think. So why should someone "waste" their time in selling you?
So sure you are wasting your time and not only that on something you say you care nothing about.

RE: OT: The Walking Dead [Warning: Spoilers]
What are you, 12?
I watched 6 seasons of this show before it drove off a cliff. All I’ve seen you do is police who can talk about the walking dead. I get it, you’re a walking dead fanboy.
I want to know from those that can write intelligently why someone like me should start watching again.

Again the key part in what you said....watched 6 seasons. You no longer watch the show so every opinion you give belongs to someone else. I'm not trying to tell you how to think...I'm making fun of someone that tells people they dont waste their time....
then seek out articles and post on messageboards about something they haven't watched in a couple years. Then try to tell others how bad the show it.
Why would anyone waste their time trying to sell you on watching a show you have no clue on? Do you really think you're so special, someone has to talk you into watching a show? Watch it or dont watch it, I really dont think anyone gives a ****.
I personally dont give a **** if you watch it or not but speaking of 12 year olds...that's what you sound like. Talking about something you say you dont care about and then letting others tell you what to think.
Its a TV show based on a comic book about freaking zombies and there is no right or wrong way on how they tell the story....unless you believe they should stick to what the comics show.

Yeah--the episode kinda drug in few places, but it had some nice twists. Overall--not a bad episode. Im not sure what people who are complaining are expecting. lol....This isnt Shakespeare. Its based on a friggin comic book. Its just escapism.
The guys I feel bad for are the HBO Game of Thrones writers. The HBO series plot line has now passed up all the source material in the GOT novels and they are now writing their own story. They arent ghost writing some comic book---they are trying to tackle writing an ending for one of the most detailed oriented intricately woven tales to come along in years. Good luck to them---they are going to need it.

Pretty good episode. Two episodes in a row where Eugene finds a unique way to use his intelligence.

Yes, pulled him back into the fold, didn't think he was going to change his colors again. Surprised about Dwight, in the comic he rose up to be the Saviors post-Negan leader. Negan played out just as comic except Carl was part of the action. The huge herd of walkers may bring the strangest twist yet, a group of scavengers called The Whispers.

I loved the last two episodes. I look forward to the next season and seeing where this thing goes.
Also, I really like FTWD and can't wait to how the story lines start to cross now that Morgan has made the crossover.

I figured Eugene had that up his sleeve but the puke and run maneuver was pretty awesome.
And yes I watched the ftwd latest episode without watching any more than a episode or 3 of the first season of it and I can see that being pretty entertaining.

I wanted to see Ricks leg get messed up like in the comic. It made him vulnerable especially with missing the hand that the governor cut off. Once again Rick escapes a major conflict unscathed unlike the comic.

The first season of FTWD was kinda up and down, but I thought the show became better as it went on. The last 2 season's were pretty good. Im really diggin' that armored SWAT Urban Assault Vehicle....and the chick who drives it aint bad for a post apocalyptic world.

Yup. Several people I know just have never returned after the season opening baseball bat episode last year.
I stopped watching last season after I found a Walking Dead podcast that is infinitely more entertaining than the show. They do a recap and just rip the thing apart. I'm still mildly interested in the overall story, but would much rather find out what's happening by listening to people laugh about it rather than watch a really poorly written show.
These guys just did their last podcast of TWD. They aren't going to bother next season. However they do a nice one on The Expanse and are getting ready for WestWorld.
