I am.

First, against all odds the Alexandria party finally unites all the outlying groups and they go to take care of Negan.

They manage to trap the main group in Headquarters, but lose 1/3 of their own people gunned down elsewhere by 50 Cal fire...not to mention losing the Tiger.

They recoup from that and at least destroy the 50 Cal., but then Rick and Daryl disagree on next steps, with Daryl going rogue and acting to (unintentionally) release the saviors while Rick goes and gets captured by the takers.

Meanwhile Maggie agrees with Jesus to be "Nice" and not kill off the captured Saviors.

Rick convinces the Takers to join, and of course loses them because of Daryl's mistake in releasing the Saviors.

How is it the Saviors had enough resources to kill the Walker horder after the building is breached, but not enough to do it anyway before?

This episode, the Saviors strike back and (so far) are taking charge of The Kingdom, Alexandria is surrounded, and whatever else cuz I don't care anymore...

Seems to me the writing is getting fairly weak. (I don't know if it follows the Comic, but if so I am glad I never read it either).

I am not interested in a show that just ends up with stupid plot twists and boring repeats of foolish errors.
 
Guess we're gonna find out tonight! Apparently a lot of **** is going to go down...

The Negan story line isnt half as bad as the second season when they wasted all that time on the farm.

And yes it is following the comics but the problem is the comics while they started out way ahead of the TV show are now almost caught up to each other. The comics are getting stale too though, as each villain has to one up the last one and the author has stated that there wont ever be a cure nor will there be any story line into what caused the whole thing.
 
Damn...and the one character I wanted to survive till the end of the series got BIT by a walker. :2mad:

Like I said, I'm tired of the show. (Also tired of the Vikings too).

Guess all I've got left is Game of Thrones.
 
I'm getting bored with Walking Dead in general. They've completely stopped trying to have any kind of narrative arc. The past few long narratives have been weirdly split over the end and then beginning of two seasons. The plots are also tired, the character "evolutions" feel extremely heavy-handed. The show would be more interesting if they did something like Orange is the New Black and each episode focused on one character and had flashbacks which showed who they were and how the zombie apocalypse changed them. And if it had one continuous plot for an entire season, like every other successful show (or story in general).
 
You expect more from "the vast wasteland"?

They hyped up this episode and it was obvious someone was going to go. Didn't think it was gonna be that person, tho!
