I feel like the show writers go out of their way to diverge from the comic material to show their 'creative genius' or something. Like they want to top Kirkman.
The previews and photos on the finale show a lot of Eugene.
How much I want to see more Carol, Michonne and Jesus depends on WHICH Carol, Michonne and Jesus!!!Ugh. Too much Eugene this year. Not enough Carol, Michonne, or Jesus (who has been really absent). I'd love for them to close the chapter on the Saviors storyline and move forward. But Gimple does like a cliffhanger and stretching storylines out way too far.

The ones who made sense, or the ones who flipped personalities just to serve a nutty Gimple plot device this season??
Does anyone know how far they plan to take the Negan storyline? I heard in the comics they hold him at Hilltop or something, not sure if thats true or not. I was just wondering if they would kill Negan in the finale since the war is going to be over, or if they will carry the story on.
Fabulous point! So my vote would be Terminator-esque, take no prisoners Carol, sword wielding, no-nonsense Carol and kung-fu Jesus.
Maybe the zombie virus is like the shingles virus lol. For those of us who had chicken pox the shingles virus lies dormant within us. For some of us we will get shingles, for others they never will. No rhyme or reason why for some it remains dormant and for others it doesn't. How about Lyme. There are people who are bit by ticks with Lyme but don't develop it. Why? Well a lot depends on how long the tick was in you, how much exposure you had to it. There are things out there where there is no rhyme or reason to why you will get something and someone with the same exposure may not. Okay, I am going out on a limb here with this, but I guess I'm grasping at straws to still like this show. It really sucks that I used to sit on the edge of my seat watching it and now I sit fully back.
A few episodes back in the scene where Simon & Co. came to the junkyard (and subsequently killed all the Scavengers), he asks Jadis what the deal is with the helipad and the solar panels. I don't think Jadis ever really answers him, but then we later see her digging out a box a food and eating it. So I think we are to surmise that the place the Scavengers were living at was something important at one point and with the helipad, Jadis may be connected to that helicopter.
YES!!!!!
Except I think you meant to write "sword wielding no nonsense Michonne," not Carol. But if Carol took up a sword too that would be awesome! Lol!
I don't know if anyone else caught Talking Dead but they had a commercial/promo thing with Jesus and Tara and they both had a few lines and I told my dh "that's the most we've heard from Jesus all season!" It was cool because the actor who plays Jesus spoke in his English accent.

I posted this because it seems interesting and points toward a time jump, IMO. I don't like Gimple passing some of the buck onto Kang, because I am hopeful she will turn the show around next season. But if she really was as involved in the past season as much as Gimple says, than she's really no better at writing. I also don't like his comment at the end about a fan contest for Carl's letters. I wouldn't put it past him to try something stupid like that.
It almost reads like a political speech. I think his ego is such that he wants to suggest "I taught her everything she knows"... "If she's any good in season 9 it's because I had her SO involved in season 8"...I posted this because it seems interesting and points toward a time jump, IMO.

Read spoiler at your own risk. I disclose I have read all the comics.He is still around to the very last comic written. They hold him in jail and jump ahead several years when a new big bad villain comes along and they let Negan help fight that one. Then they allow him to live free. Negan never ends...lol. And since the showrunners LOVE them some Jeff Dean Morgan, I am assuming they will keep true to this part of the comic story....uggghhh.
