    I find it hard to imagine this show lasting long without its main character.

    It will be interesting to see how many seasons it lasts without Rick and Maggie. They've been in the series for like, ever. Carol too.
    If the writing team was creative, capable or good in any way shape or form, honestly this would be the best thing for the series.
    But we know whats going to happen and how its going to happen. We will see one or two episodes dedicated to giving the viewer a fake emotional remembrance to both characters. the way they die will most likely be questionable in the sense that it will break the rules established in the TWD universe.

    Just the thought of watching another season is scarier than the series

    I skipped season 8 after the first few episodes but upon watching the new trailer, I may return to see how this all plays out.

    I remember starting this show, it was so much fun to watch, then come here and talk about it.

    So much for the tell all documentary happening while Darabont is still alive, talking about the trials and tribulations of the show in its early seasons with other cast and crew.

    They'll all be under NDA until AMC milks the franchise dry. They have no other real legitimate franchise type shows that could carry that network, so they will milk this thing until the very, very end to the point where all that's left is the 'next generation' of characters.

    Little do they realize, the characters are bigger than the universe, not the other way around.

    So essentially they're hopping on the MCU shared-universe bandwagon along with Warner Bros, Fox, Universal, etc.

    I know what I won't be watching for the next ten years...

    The premiere is decent. Some interesting and believable conflicts. A bit dialogue heavy towards the end though.

    At this point I'm only tuning in out of abjectly morbid curiosity. I'm constantly thinking this show can't get any worse, yet each new season proves me wrong. I'm hoping Andy Lincoln at least gets to go out on a high note, but I won't bank on it.

    I actually really enjoyed it, but that scares me a bit because i know how bad TWD can be and we all know whats coming. Sticking with the comic but then not in the worst ways possible.

    That said, i took issue with the glass floor part. Those panels in the US are required to be able to hold an insane amount of weight. When i was younger and working construction, one of the buildings we did had one of those glass floors and while we didnt put it in, the guys who did were on the site and we actually asked how much weight something like that can hold and the guy said that you could have a herd of elephants walk on it and they'd be fine. Makes sense when you really look at it though, they are reinforced with like 2 feet of steel, the glass itself is not even glass its that super plastic and does not shatter.

    Average premier for TWD - weak for anything else. Glass floor thing couldnt've been any more predictable if they tried.

    Same tired character convos, and pie in the sky dreams by people with apparently no foresight whatsoever. How does keeping the big N around not turn out to be a bad idea at some point... Dunno. I guess maybe it's what Coral woulda wanted.

    Ranger Rick and his 3 settlement sideshow juggling act? How does one with the street cred. in his position not have the foresight to recognize the logistical nightmare of something like this. Broken bodies with fractured ids and egos playing follow the leader up and down the ant trail only to arrive at one inevitable destination - unsustainability.... which brings us around again to alliances being made -sides being drawn - powder kegs awaiting sparks - human nature stepping in - violence reigns - cycle repeats.

    Only bright spot to the ep. was the Gregory demise. Another example of something that was way overdue, but more importantly should've never gotten to that point to begin with. Looks like Mags is about the only one with a set of balls these days - which is kinda moot seeing how she's already got an appointment with exit stage left.

    I thought it was pretty good.

    On par with the Season 4 premiere. Very balanced, saw some new things, saw some good dialogue and back and forth exchanges, etc.

    Kang did a good job here.

    And around and around we go. As Solo intimated, the whole show has become formulaic at this point. Everything seems calm, then nonsensical, anti-characteristic conflicts bubble up, sowing dissent amid the group(s), then an outer threat arrives to ignite it all further. And of course there's the "character you've never seen before but who supposedly has been here the entire time" thing. This time it was actually surprising to me because it was Brett Butler, most famous for having her own sitcom back in the '90s and being a stand-up comic, not a dramatic actress. But though this is our first time seeing her, her husband and her son, we're supposed to believe they've been in Hilltop all this time.

    I call it the "Lost" style of storytelling. That show was about a plane crash landing on an island; over the course of the series, each season introduces new characters who were supposedly among the survivors all along, but whom we never once saw before. It's a storytelling device Scott Gimple relied on extensively during his running of the show, and one which Kang apparently intends to keep with. Essentially what you have are a lot of red shirts getting killed off between Big Event Moments that happen arbitrarily to keep the primaries busy -- and the result is a show that constantly feels like its just spinning its wheels, replaying the same scenarios over and over again.

    Which is exactly what this episode felt like to me -- just more of the same. Oh well, at least Pollyanna McIntosh got a couple lines of dialogue this episode.

    That season premiere was seriously one of the better episodes of the entire series.

    1 and 2 have been.... okay.... but lets not go crazy here. This is a show that once went from "could be on HBO" to "meh, so far these two episodes have been better than the last three seasons".
