The Walking Dead 7x09 Steel Cable Scene / Hundreds Of Walkers Cut Down By Rick & Michonne

Pretty much the reason why I watched this episode. This scene was super cool! The rest of the episode was "meh". Partially because we didn't see a whole lot happen other than this. Partially because Negan wasn't present in the episode

The Walking Dead 7x11 Eugene Joins Negan/The Saviors Ending Scene


 


Oh, Eugene. I can't tell if he's trying to pull the wool over Negan or not, and that he has something up his sleeve. Oooor, he just joined the gang that killed his best friend. I hope he's got something up his sleeve, it would be a shame to see a character with so much growth and development revert back to square one.

Season 7 season finale was fantastic and I would say almost did the first episode of the season justice (I say almost because Negan is still alive and plotting for season 8. ). From Sasha tearing people to shreds as a walker (R.I.P, looking forward to seeing her on the new Star Trek t.v show) to the scavenger group turning on Rick and the family, to Negan almost beating the crap out of Carl and Rick, to Shiva finally getting to do what tigers do best, and to Rick for finally getting his groove back and the full out brawl between Hilltop, The Kingdom, Alexandria versus the Saviors. It was awesome getting to see Abraham on the show again in flashbacks and loved the nods towards Glen. I know Glen had to die but I miss Steven on the show so much. The episode was great from beginning to end and I'm looking forward to season 8! As much as I love JDM's performance on the show, I am looking forward to Rick finally getting to hopefully kick Negan's ass into another dimension.

Season 8 Trailer from Comicon:

Hey TWD fans,

I thought this time I just go over here for discussions about the next episodes.

So, I just watched episode 17 "Home Sweet Home" of season 10. If you haven't yet, don't read further since it'll be spoilery.

I actually really liked that episode! First, I'm so glad that the Whisperers arc is completely over now, since I wasn't that much a fan of it, to say the least. The characters were just awful and unlikeable in my opinion. The only characters that had me continuing through anyway had been Negan and Michonne. With Michonne having disappeared from the show as well, there was only Negan left. Well, okay, and Daryl and Carol, although I stopped caring too much about them at some point, idk.

It made me really happy to see Maggie coming back! My favorite moment of this episode was when she and Negan faced again for the first time after years. That scene was so intense and didn't need a lot of words which was perfect imo. You can see in their faces that it's hard for both of them. I really can't wait to see more interactions between them in future episodes!

The episode's title was well chosen I think. It has a deep and sincere, while, at the same time, kinda ironic feeling to it, looking at the difficulty it means to live in the same place with the murderer of your husband.

I also liked the athmosphere of all Maggie/Daryl scenes. It reminded me of the old days of TWD when they had been just this little group. Same with the dialogue between Maggie/Carol. You could see it was hard for both of them to talk about this, yet it was something that had to be said.

Hearing Maggie talk about Beth made me emotional as well, since I really liked Beth (even played her once in our RPG).

Seeing little Glenn (Well, okay, his name's Hershel) had warmed my heart also. I hope there will be Negan/Hershel scenes, since I'd be curious to see how Negan would deal with the confrontation, in the knowledge and with the memory of having killed the child's father. Also, I bet there won't happen any actual conversation, for Maggie most probably would stop him to raise any word towards her son.

Also, here's hoping those Reaper dudes will not be such an annoyance like the Whisperers had been. TWD deserves a good final season, pleeease.

Btw, since I've got this huge problem of understanding each line the actors say in TWD, I'm gonna read over the transcript of the episodes now after watching. XD Surprisingly, I didn't get anything completely wrong.

Wooo, The Walking Dead is BACK!!

I feel that this is the first season/mid-season opener in a long time that has really got me excited and pumped for the rest of the season! This episode gave me a lot of nostalgia with Maggie back and interacting with characters like Daryl and Carol again. A lot of intense action going on in this episode, and I felt really bad for Maggie seeing her people get picked off one by one. I am very interested to see where this Reapers arc is headed! So glad that we're getting something new and are doing away with the Whisperers arc, which had it's moments, but overall enjoyed other arcs in the series more.

New characters! Cole is interesting, we don't really know much about him so I'm excited to see more of his character. Fantastic character setup for Elijah - a quiet masked guy who's lost his sister and had a rough road thus far. We already see that this character has some layers to unravel and I already love him a lot! His scenes with Kelly began to tug on my heart as they've both lost someone close to them and seem to have this sudden unspoken brotherly/sisterly bond between them. 

Hershel!! We had seen glimpses of him in the trailers, yet when we first meet him hanging out in the treetop I just nearly got emotional. Not only is he the spitting image of Glen, the little actor carries the atmosphere of Glen's wholeheartedness that Steven nailed incredibly well. When Negan sees Maggie and Hershel walk into Alexandria, you can just see the blow to the gut happen and an immense wave of guilt wash over him. He's not the same man that he was when he saw Maggie last, and I cannot wait to see the Maggie/Negan story commence! I think Hershel's presence on the show is going to bring up a lot of nostalgia and nods to the earlier days and it's going to really be appreciated by long time fans (especially since Maggie and Glen had made a home in Alexandria at one point in time). 

I loved the scene where Maggie was talking about taking Hershel to her grandmother's beach house!! It was so beautifully written and also made me remember just how long it had been since Maggie and Hershel had left.

Finally - I really hope Kelly and Daryl find Connie!! They've been searching for her for so long, I do hope something comes out of it.

S10E18 "Find Me" - Review

I LOVED this episode, even a lot more than the last one! The atmosphere was just great and the scenes so well blended into each other. It had beautiful, nostalgic, sad and even funny moments. I haven't read into it anywhere, but I figured these special episodes of season 10 will be all about flashbacks or at least backstories, knowing that one of them will be Negan's. ;-) I really hope the writers gonna keep up with that quality for the next season still.

It's still nice to see the focus back on the ones we learned to love from the beginning. I think they even might have brought in too many characters lately, so that their stories just came up to short any with not enough heart in it to make me really caring about them. Or maybe they just did it the wrong way, idk.

I loved Daryl long before, but I'm so happy they gave us something to feel really close to him and his feelings again. Omg, and my heart when he stated to have lost his brother and we would totally know that he wasn't talking of Merle but of Rick. The mentioning of Rick has me everytime. I don't know if that is an option, but here's hoping we'll be getting a little bif of Rick in the series final at least!! I know there are movies planned, but I just think it would wrap the show up nicely.

I loved the new character Leah right away, by the way! Her chimstry with Daryl was so good. I loved when she wouldn't give him her name but only at a much later time and then just with a grunt right before disappearing, lol. And that scene where Daryl threw a fish at her door, and she later did the same but towards his head. XD Oh, please let her be alive because I ship them so hard. I got the idea that she might have been pregnant and that's why she demanded a choice from him as for where he belonged.

I wonder, by the way, if the writers had this backstory for Daryl in mind already when they did that time jump of some years where we saw Daryl coming back with a dog named dog.
