I remember how angry i was when Carl died, knowing what was coming to his character, it was really the writer's biggest mistake.

Before even watching I'm glad this is a video. Season 8 had some big writing issues but I think this season above all else Andrew Lincoln CARRIED. The storyline was convoluted and the writing gets eye rolling but Rick Grimes stays consistent the entire way through and makes this one of the most compelling seasons just for watching Rick.

I’ve always thought the line “my mercy prevails over my wrath” was a perfect redemption and beginning of a new arc for Rick. I think it was a perfect ending for Rick’s arc that season and the whole murder rick persona/arc in general.

Carls most interesting material was literally the next story arc. Its beyond me that they thought killing him would be smart. The whisperers, the commonwealth with Ricks death and Carl taking control. Why kill him off right before his most interesting story. So sad

My favorite episode was the one with Ezekiel when his entire crew dies. It really humbled him and showed us more of the true side of Ezekiel, was also awesome seeing Jerry cut that guy in half. It was scary seeing how all his soldiers instantly, without hesitation, just threw themselves onto Ezekiel to protect him. He knew he didn't deserve that and it was interesting seeing his struggle with that. Also I'm a Muslim, and I recognized the phrase "My mercy prevails over my wrath" and when I searched it up I found out that it was actually also a big phrase used in the Qu'ran, so that was pretty cool to find out.

I think if season 7 and 8 was one whole season of 16 episode, in first half they show communities under the savior rule and in the second half they rebel against them removing all the useless stuff from season 7 and 8 it'd without a doubt be the greatest season ever

I agree that Daryl’s hatred for Dwight is boring/annoying at times but I do understand it. I think Daryl holds Dwight responsible for his time in “the hole” & was really traumatized by it. He resents him for this & for “kneeling” after everything Negan did to him & Sherry. Not only that, but the death of Denise really affected Daryl & really fueled that hatred of Dwight. Plus…. He stole the man’s bike. Lol

I watched all of the 11 seasons of TWD last year for the first time on Disney plus, and i never thought season 8 was boring. But hearing/seeing lots of fans disliking this season, I came to realized it’s because of the different ways we watch shows, just like you said!! I totally binged watch the whole season, and I was able to remember most of the stories and connect them. If I watched it in 2017 on tv, and had to wait every week to watch an episode, and try to remember what’s going on while looking for any sort of excitement and development, I’d probably stop watching too. It’s crazy the different ways we watch shows make a huge difference to our enjoyment level.

What i like about this season and doesn't get mentioned often is how much of a Menace Morgan Jones is. Aside from Rick, Morgan Jones wipes out most of the Saviors. Embodies of a Dangerous Man that broke his peace.

I cant explain it exactly but every rewatch I just find myself looking at my phone more than watching when I get to season 8

I also remember not paying much attention to season 8 when it aired, but I recently binged it and I think it flows much better if you're not waiting for weekly episodes

The shiva episode is so heartbreaking. 😢 But King Ezekiel is always a highlights. ☺️

I think Carol had the best story arc with Henry and that story is super important for season 9. Also her finding him in the same spot as Sophia and telling Ezekiel about it is my favorite moment of the entire season.

I like how casual viewers who don't know about fear never find out what happened to Morgan... he's seen at the end of s8 and then just never appears again

The one thing I will never understand is that it was SUPER obvious they set Morgan up to have Carl's death, but changed it last minute. He made the prison cell, he had the all life is precious notions, he was falling off the rails, and for him to die and next to Rick while still sharing his old "all life is precious" notion being in Rick's mind would have been a good pay off. Especially with how Rick was seeing everyone else lose their humanity throughout 8A

The fact that Carls' death is a huge focal point for season 8 is so funny to me. The reason it's so iconic is due to the fact that it is in fact one of the most hated actions taken by the show writers, but when you take a step back and begin to analyze it IT CAN ACTUALLY BE REALLY INTERESTING. The idea of the death of Rick's son pushed him to show mercy to the man who was one of the biggest threats that has ever appeared on the show is so interesting, most people would flip Rick's reaction around. Was carls character wasted potential?? absolutely man got did so dirty, but something I noticed was how Carl himself didn't NEED to be someone, just the idea of him affected SO MANY CHARACTERS!! Michonne was able to heal over her son's death and got with rick thanks to carl, carl showed a softer side of Negan that would have never appeared otherwise, Carl WAS ONE OF THE REASONS RICK KEPT GOING AND FIGHTING!!! Carls death, if it had been done better and with better reasons, would have been an incredible turning point for the show instead of one of its downfalls. (this probably sounds like me just sucking the shows dick but carl was one of my favorite characters in television and i really like analyzing characters if that's anything to show my lack of biases :P)

I personally like season 8! It didn't make me quit the show. The only part I disliked about season 8 was Carl dying. But besides that I liked it because Rick absolutely carried all out war. Not to mention Rick was in every episode that season besides EP11. The 100th episode was really great too!

For me I feel like this season had a few good points to it, and I absolutely teared up when Carl had his last talk with Judith

Finally, i love season 7 and 8, i know some episodes are boring and slow but i think alot of them are great. Personally i love the war against the saviors and Negan

Glad you made this video. Even before seeing it. I never understood the massive hate for this season( understood some) I felt like after season 7 an all out war season like season 8 was warranted and actually fun to watch. Rick carried the season of course.

To be honest, the whole show from start to finish, despite the way they did Glenn and Carl, was amazing. The biggest issue with it was that I’d say from season 8 onwards, you can only appreciate it when you watch the episodes back to back. I watched up to season 7 week to week and it was amazing, then I stopped at season 9 after a few attempts. And I have only just now binged the whole show from season 8 onwards, and I really think the show finishes as strong as it was in season 5. It just needed to be binged, rather than one episode per week.

i totally habe to say, I absolutely LOVED scenes like the Rick and Negan 1v1. Scenes like that kinda carried the season from falling apart.

Mr. Typewriter I love you’re essays. I listen to the while driving. And I absolutely adore the show (and I’m reading the comics finally!) and I am so excited for this to air in like 30 seconds lol

tbh what kept me interested was that seasons 7-9 the walkers didn’t feel like a threat anymore. they’re still super dangerous, but enough time has passed that people know how to handle them for the most part and humans can get back to stuff like organized war, even if it’s just between city-states. not everyone enjoyed the turn from surviving the zombies to surviving the other humans, but post-Terminus it was clear that zombies were no longer the major threat since those could be dealt with easily. other human groups though? those were much harder to fight

Great video. This season has a solid story but overall the real issue other than Carl is that it’s in a 16 episode format so everything is dragged out when it could’ve been better as 12 episodes. Morgan made the most sense to have the Carl death, he was the one that started the whole no killing idea in the first place plus he was the one who build the cell that negan would eventually live in. Ig it’s more believable rick would save negan for carl over someone like morgan, but i think it still couldve worked plus it would just be better in the long run of the series. Side note: I personally wasn’t a big fan of 7x13, like i dig with the idea of the story, but it’s executed poorly. The battle is very awkward, a lot of dumb character moments like henry letting saviors out by accident, reintroducing tobin after 2 seasons just to kill him off, the way no one woke up when walkers started biting them and falling down the stairs. So yeah basically s8 has cool ideas in mind it’s just not handled greatly imo

I was literally looking for this exact subject the other day and couldn’t find any good videos on it. Never stop making TWD essays! Thanks

Thank you so much for recognizing Do Not Send Us Astray it’s my favorite episode in Season 8 and definitely most watched episode in the season for me at least

Your videos have just been constant hits over and over, I love how you find so many new angles to discuss this show with!

yes finally, someone who doesn’t completely hate season 8. I binged watched it with my dad and he liked the fact it was more action. I liked also cuz it was action but it really had war vibes and shows how both groups had their own ways of attack. I also agree with you saying carls death was growth to ricks character arc. i know it could’ve been better but i enjoy it the way it was. IDC what anyone says This was an awesome season in my opinion.

Finally a well done video that isn't a recap, i can see effort was made for this

My issue with episode Do not send us Astray is that it makes no sense if u remember the details from previous seasons. Cuz in season 1 they met this scientist which told them that they are all infected and they are gonna turn anyway even if they die from anything else ( which is even proven in prison arc when that kid dies under shower and than turns ) and rick, daryl and carol were there they've seen it and heard it but they were still going with that theory that walkers blood turned them, I mean yeah maybe it did but they didn't even need to actually use it to make them turn and it's just funny for me how they all completely forgot all of a sudden about everything that scientist said and did not even consider it as an option.

This video is already one of my favorites of yours and if your considering this video makes me want other whole season videos like this where you look at the good, and bad of the season

I think the reason Eugene was more easily welcomed back is because most of the militia likely recognized that they all would have died had Eugene not sabotaged the ammunition.

I'm commenting this before watching the video btw. In S8's defence, it is a great season if binge-watched. The whole story takes place over the course of 3-4 DAYS. The first 9 episodes take place over the first 24 hours of the war. And watching it only one episode a week is not good because you feel the story isn't progressing as it literally took over 2 months just to piece together what happened during that first day of war from everyone's point of view. That's what turned people off I think.

I was serving a mission for my Church when Seasons 8 and 9 were on the air, so I really enjoyed binging then when I came back. XD I loved this video man! Cannot wait for another one of your Walking Dead or other deep dives!

I felt like season 8 was my favorite season. I think the reason would be that there is this big bad villain and I knew the season would end with him either dying or loosing (Because Dead City was out when I was watching) Not that other seasons were bad but its true that it felt really different, more like an action show than a zombie show.

One of my biggest gripes with season 8 is the fact that if Eugene didn’t interfere in the finale, Rick would have led his people to a slaughter. Wish Rick actually defeated Negan with better tactics and didn’t have to get totally saved by Eugene

I’ve been going through my own re-watch. Going through Fear the Walking dead, I just finished season 8 of OG Walking dead. I totally agree, with streaming, being able to watch episode after episode makes it easier to watch. Back then having to wait for certain storylines to wrap up, only to find it underwhelming is what I think drove so many away. The hardcore point to certain deaths that made them watching the show. Ultimately I think it’s the pacing to the start of season 7 and the whole pace of season 8 that was its downfall *side note I’ve been loving your videos man. Really well laid out and thoughtful!

You hit the head on the nail. Absolute perfect review. I always thought there were a lot of good things in s8, the pacing was just off. It's not as good as it could have been. I love the 20 minute format

Great video man! I’m literally watching it now on amc+ “ the key” and “do not send us astray “ I never realized how well they went went into each other .. Rick gets there right after fight w negan, the horn relays.. great few episodes in a row .. love all the Rick Morgan scenes ..

Certainly an underrated season. It’s biggest issue was the budget but that’s a problem for most seasons of this show.

I've always have said you can tell a casual fan from a hardcore fan with Glenn's death. I stayed around watching it even after it got "bad" it definitely had its moments of success and downfalls. I just wish I could watch 1st time again and be amazed by it.

I always felt like Morgan could have replaced Carl's death. If they kept Morgan as a pacifist his death could have pushed Rick's character in the same direction that Carl's did. Morgan even built the cell negan gets thrown into. I always felt like this is how the writer's were intending the story to go.

I honestly liked this season, never considered stopping the show once. Guess I'm lucky

This makes me glad I never watched TWD when it aired. I just binge watched seasons 1-11 and like you said you were able to skip bad episodes. (Although I do remember watching some season 1 episodes when they aired)

I didn’t have an issue with the season, story wise, except for Carl dying. The main thing for me is like you said, the season felt different, it tried to be more like an action show, and just felt really cheap for it. The action scenes themselves had no real choreography, just mid/close up shots of people shooting, no real set pieces. I just got bored of all those scenes. I didn’t mind character scenes at all. I did fall off mid season though, and didn’t get back into it until just before 11C, and finally continued from mid season 8, but i’m glad i did because i really enjoyed season 9 onwards

Thanks for making this video! I really enjoyed season 8, though I waited for the bluray and watched it all back to back, so as you say watching it week to week might have been less fulfilling. Still good to see someone talking about its strengths!

17:25 I would agree binging the show makes it 10 times more watchable. I wish I didn’t know the spoilers but not having to hold out for a meh episode is fantastic.

I watched Episode 8 of Season 7 "Hearts Still Beating".... man what an EPISODE! At the End of the Ep, I shed a Mantear....or two. Thank you for sending me on this Journey! Without you I wouldn't have watched it. Your Enthusiams pointed me in the right direction! This show is saving my life... in a way.

Ur the goat love all of the last of us and walking dead content, always brings my hype back with the show

Interesting point at the end. As I only just watched TWD, I ended up binging season 8 in 1 day, so I didn't have the major gripes that some had. So from my perspective, ig you are spot on.

i 100 percent agree i stopped watching around season 8 and like before season 11 came out had a thought to rewatch it and always wondered to myself why did i stop watching it this is still an amazing show but like u said i get the attachment we may have had with some characters made us stop watching

I notice the same thing. I watched the show over streaming for the first time an I haven't notice all the "awful" things my friends told me about or I thought they weren't that bad.

You should do a pros and cons for every season of The Walking Dead just like this video, I’d really enjoy watching those type of videos.

KEEP THESE VIDEOS COMING! 💙💙💙

🤣, almost spit out my coffee at the sound effect at 5:42.

My favorite episode of this season is 14, because rick in his killer jacket, he's like "man, give it to me always" and I saw it very recently, just revisiting the series. An episode with Rick and Morgan as protagonists will always work, since Despite the little screen time they were given, their affinity for the story is unique and probably a lot of people missed out on it due to the disaster of the end of Chapter 8 and all of Chapter 9. I can think of as many ideas of how to make Rick change his mind without killing Carl as they would be: 1. See how Carl is determined to kill Negan, making him become everything Hershell tried to help him not to, so he leaves him alive as a show to everyone, but especially his son, that things can be different. 2. Rick sees in the communities themselves not only a way to defeat Negan, but a new future and that this also involves recovering concepts such as justice and humanity, not survival. Carl lives and supports his father in this way, just like in the comic. Those are some, but there are more. My point is that, indeed, that was the biggest mistake made by the showrunners at the time and that in many ways, it was what killed the show for me. Rick has lived by and for Carl since the beginning, his entire journey is about keeping his son alive, his engine. To take that away from him was to make his character wander aimlessly and his departure felt almost necessary.

This season was where i had to take a long ass break binge watching the whole series in preperation for the last season. The whole “no killing thing” got so damn old so fast with morgan and then other people started doing it and i couldnt help but roll my eyes

So as I am rewatching the series I realize Carol and Morgan had a pretty good friendship that no one really talks about. Every one talks about Rick and Morgan. Wondering if you could or would do a video on their relationship? Thanks.

Its really crazy because i feel like ive had the same opinion for a long time and i finally get to see someone talk about it, because when this season first aired i was so disappointed and having to wait each week for a meh episode was such a bummer esp once we got to that carl episode i lost all hope because ik wed never see a old man carl story line like in the comics and id always hate that decision but honestly after watching again on netflix and binging it straight thru i really came to appreciate s8 and what it brought to the show it was like a foot stone for what was to come and evolve in the future if the show and i liked that ( still minus carl dying ofc lmao )

Can't Wait!

Season 8 is where I also stopped for a while . I remmeber seeing the trailer for season 9 with the whisperers and I had to get back into it. I went back and watched season 8 then and I remember it being super hard to get thru

Totally nailed it!! If you binge it, it’s actually very good. Having to wait weeks to see certain characters is the big reason I stopped watching it. I just kind of got bored after season 10. And I didn’t go back and finish it until recently. I chose to start at season 5 (since I had seen seasons 1-4 about four or five times already). Binging the show made me interested in the Walking Dead world again. I immediately binged Fear right after and I really enjoyed that too. That’s another show I just lost interest in as well. If AMC were able to release a season at a time, instead of week by week, more people would watch the new spin offs.

Can you do some more Walking Dead episode review videos they're my favorite on your channel good job on those I think that's my favorite series of videos you've done awesome.

I agree with your assessment. For me the season is better when you consider it in the whole arch of the story. But going through it week by week it dragged. I kept watching, but it was hard.

I didn’t watch twd until 10 seasons were out i rewatched all of it twice and the foreshadowing when u realize it. It’s so good.

10:00 what a fantastic point, I didn't hate the pacing because I watched it for the first time on Disney plus over a span of two weeks and really enjoyed it, and I can understand why waits causes pacing issues

You've perfectly explained how I felt about it. I watched this since the day it aired and then dropped of in this season as well. I only came back because it was ending, and felt the same way and came to the same conclusion. Week by week it's a slog, bing watching made this season far better.

Season 8 is mad underrated

Random idea I got while watching, why not make scene rankings or compilations of best Rick moments, Carl moments, best writing or so? I'd love more twd content 😊 I'm going to start watching again, since I stopped bc of Glenn, maybe now that I know how things turn out I can enjoy it more haha

You are 100% right with everything you said here, and also with binge watching it on Netflix was better!

I would agree that season 8 had its lows and I respect your opinion me personally though season 7-8 are my favorites and it doesn’t have too much to do with the episodes themselves but the story as a whole it was telling. The rivalry between Rick and Negan is one of the best stories that TWD has shown I think. Negan being the one character that breaks Rick and strip his power was good and the journey Rick has to take to gain his power back was one of the things I love about season 8. Overall though I see your points and would agree it definitely has its ups and downs

Rewatching season 8 now and I completely agree. The story lines up but the pacing and carls death really threw a wrench in the whole season for me the first watch

Every season was beautiful

Chandler Riggs had a stream a few years ago mentioning that he wanted to continue college and live a normal life. Don’t know if he truly meant that, but probably why he was written off.

Such little time actually passes between 6x10 and 8x16. It’s told slow for that reason n definitely hit the mark when binge watched. One of my favorite franchises of all time

I never thought about the _why_ , but looking back I also stopped at S8 and clearly it was no coincidence.

I really liked Morgan’s stories in season 8 especially the parallels between him and Carol. In season 6 they were literally fighting each other between all life is precious and having to kill to protect Alexandria, in season eight they were complete opposites. Carol did what she had to do but was feeling extreme remorse for all the bodies she had while trying to help Morgan not lose himself in the killing. They made amazing soldiers especially together, while also showing the mental effects of having no choice but to kill to protect your loved ones.

The downs of season 8 you brought up in the beginning of the video was exactly my reasons for falling out from twd at this point, my other thing is that the first 8 seasons take place over 2 years (a lil more) and they all went to "fck it" mode and just washed each other over and every point, its been 2 years!!

I've always loved season 8 because season 8, and more so season 6, are exactly what I always wanted from a show in this genre. We can put on our Freshman film/TV analysis glasses and pick it to pieces until the cows come home, or people just get angry that the show broke from the norm and made wild decisions (SOME OF WHICH PEOPLE STILL DON'T KNOW THE FULL STORY ON), but I enjoyed everything about it. I always wanted to see warfare in this genre, and not the 10 minute action sequence kind, the actual "this is going to be tedious and painful" results of war. We see our team go ham and take names for 4 solid episodes and then we start seeing the results of that and the cracks within the Saviors, and then true, unexpected loss, followed by the politics of protection pacts and the value of building relations, all capped off with a massive moral quandary and a touch of espionage. I just loved getting those perspectives and storytelling opportunities. Most say this show was best when it was them surviving on the road, but I've seen that 5001 times in the zombie sub genre, it's old hat, I was ready for something different and season 8 delivered for me. It's far from perfect, but I'd rather they shoot for the fences and miss instead of just the same old same.

Man you really have to watch Fear the Walking Dead. S1 to S3 is some of the best walking dead content I've ever seen. Then Morgan and the new showrunners got S4 and the show turned to shit afterwards. S6 is surprisingly great but the show is still mid after S3, which is sad because S3 of Fear is a masterpiece

You should do a video similar to this about season 7.

Maybe it's just me but I didn't forget about the foreshadows in the first episode. As soon as Rick shot the glass from the tree I made the connection immediately. I thought it was obvious.

It is much better to experience all in one time instead of weeks then months apart

I said this along time ago. Week to week season 8 was rough but when binge watching it watches must better

Well said! I only wish to point out one aspect of the video and that’s the dynamic between Dwight and Daryl. I understand how one can feel that way about the arc. I think the reason being is because there was something going on with a lawsuit that involved Austin Amelio or something. I don’t remember the whole shibang behind the ordeal but I remember that was the reason he took off to fear. Also, Daryl kinda had a right to feel that way about Dwight where as Eugene never really did anything that bad outside of being an ahole to the ppl that helped him survive. Dwight, in their very first encounter, robbed Daryl of his things. The next time they see each other, Dwight kills Denise using the very crossbow he stole from him. And Denise, being someone Daryl had a sibling-like connection with, moments before had admitted to Daryl that he was like a brother to her, something Rick said to him back in S3 I think? (Or S4 whichever the episode “A” was in) Words that we can tell mean and have always meant a lot and stuck with him. Dwight also took part in everything that happened in those woods that night with the day before putting a bullet in the shoulder of Daryl. So he’s in part responsible at the least for a lot of lives being cut short. Negan’s influence or not. Then when you take into consideration the history there, he goes and shoots Tara at the attack on Hilltop(albeit was to save her life but he’s still held accountable). Heck, if you really dig, Dwight was the one that tortured him. Literally hung up a picture of, umm, I’m just gonna say a deceased Glenn to try and break him. I can understand Daryl’s emotions toward Dwight my only gripe with it is why wasn’t Daryl equally as pissed at Sherry? Daryl discovers pretty quickly Dwight and Sherry’s situation on the show but no matter what happens he never seems to be upset with her. Not for going back to Negan setting everything in motion. Not for choosing to go along with Dwight instead of talking him out of doing some of the stupid things he’s done(like going back to Negan). It was always “you’re a good person in a bad situation” with her when going back with Daryl and telling the group all about the boogeyman they are bound to cross at some point could’ve been best for both of them. Rick would’ve never attacked that satellite station knowing what Dwight knew. But I get it, Negan ruled out of fear and fear can be powerful persuasion.

lots of action in this season. Good for bingeing

You are not wrong about how the ability to binge chages ypur perspective. It absolutely impacted my overall enjoyment of both seasons 7 and 8 because I didn’t have to endure the terrible pacing on a week-to-week basis, and I think you're right that the fact it flows so much better that way proves that they lade these seasons and structured them like really long movies. Once again, like season 7, what could have been a great season is bogged down by terrible pacing and a couple questionable deviations from the source material. I still really enjoyed much of the story, but because there are so many episodes and not enough plot between all of them, it feels like there's a lot of noise but not a lot of momentum for much of it. A tighter narrative would have been excellent. Rick and Ezekiel's arcs were the highlights for me for sure, very moving. I think its still a huge mistake to have killed Carl, but it was mostly done well in context. (I hate that they just didn't want to pay Carl's actor the adult pay rate.) Even though he survives through the entire story in the comics, it does make sense that his death would be a catalyst for Rick's change if heart at the end of the war. The season finale is an excellent wrapup to that Savior War story, and I found it to be incredibly moving. The only reason I think Carl's death still works in the story is because Rick has other surviving children, something I don't believe he actually had in the comics. Saving Judith back in season 4 when she should have died was accidentally the only thing that redeemed the future decision to kill Carl, but it was still umtimately a bad decision. Although I liked older Henry in season 9, the fact he even needed to replace Carl in the first place was a bad thing. His absence in the Whisperer/Lydia stories was sorely missed, even more than Rick's absence (and I generally love season 9). All in all, while seasom 8 is easily the second weakest season imo, I still think every single season of TWD is better than most of what was on TV at the time, even if it is in spite of itself sometimes.

Time is often kind in tv re-watch land. It's a different experience (obviously) watching tv shows retrospectively rather than contemporaneously. It makes us more lenient, I feel. There's less at stake. We know how the story ends. We can enjoy the ride.

Was the biggest TWD fan for a long time but this was definitely the season that lost me. I didn't remember much of what happened in this season and the early part of 9 but I think that has more to do with a couple of concussions than anything else. This was the first season that I skipped episodes. I would try to catch up over the week, but I was busy, and it wasn't streaming, so I would end up catching the ends of episodes before the premier on Sunday. I really stopped watching when Rick got blown up, just wasn't that interested, had other stuff to do, and that's how it's been for a couple of years. In January of this year though, I decided to finally finish the show. I was going to just start off in the middle of season 7, but I thought it'd be nice to rewatch my favorite seasons over again for the first time in a long time (I'd seen seasons 1-5 at least 3 times each, owned on DVD etc). Season 7 was iffy, but had some strong episodes. You don't really feel the decline until season 8. A lot of creative decisions SUCK. TWD is ABOUT Carl. Having a whole season with action scenes when your action scenes aren't great, isn't great. Despite having easily the most bullets firing ever, it is easily the most boring season of the show (yes even more so than S2.) It isn't the worst season, looking at you s9 and s11, but it is sooooo boring. Maybe without my head injuries I still would have forgotten most of what happened. I guess the only good thing that came out of it for me was character development for Rick, but then he's gone less than half a season later and you still could've gotten that development with Carl being alive.

I liked the fight inside the dark building with Rick and Neegan. *shrug*

Yeah, Daryl’s story was really… really bad. The fact that he does so many shity things like kill a defenceless boy, killing Morales even though he knew who he was, screwing up Rick’s plan, tries to kill Dwight and threatens to kill him in the final episode even after all Dwight’s done to help them honestly made me want his character to die. I still in some way do tbh after the Angela Kang era.

Definitely enjoyed the series more after it was all released. Being able to binge watch Definitely helped the pacing and story come together better

Majin Morgan turning into John Wick and chasing people down was the best part

I'm on season 10 and I have to force myself to get through with this show. I hope it gets better soon with the episodes

The only thing I hate about this season is how God awful and unrealistic the gun battles are. Literally no brass casings coming out of the weapons at all. Even the bolts are not moving on the weapons as they're firing. Semi-automatic rifles become fully automatic? The gun battles and the fight choreography were just terrible. Which is saying a lot because none of this stuff existed in previous seasons' gunfights.

I hated that they killed off Carl (forcibly too if you're aware that AMC booted him off, the college thing was never the reason why he left). In my eyes not only was it the worst decision they made for any character, but both Chandler and Carl deserved so much better, I would have loved if they changed the story a bit to where Carl was a more pivotal character in season 8 and actively trying to change Rick throughout and then maybe when Rick leaves Carl steps up as the defacto leader, and then instead of Rick and Michonne series, it's Rick, Michonne and Carl where Carl and Michonne try to seek out Rick together

I just re watched season 8, and after a really indepth re watch I think it's one of the better seasons imo, I love the action, the war aspects and everything happening in the apocalypse

Honestly, aside from Season 9 after it, Season 8 was the canon-breaking moment with getting rid of Carl Grimes But the way the All-Out War arc was handled being a season-long conflict was a good decision

I am one of those people that rewatch saga series/movies. Call me basic I guess 😂. I just love to relive what I like and go through it again with the characters. To me, i feel more connected bc your connected to the same character through different times/events in their timeline. My hubby gives me cramp about it. He’ll say and I quote “Your on your benign again? Alright, let me know when your done. 😑😒” 😂 P.S. yes the round back is so sentimental to watch. Example-Harry Potter in movie 8, going back to his hole under the stairs. The growth! Ah! Can’t get enough!❤
