What bollocks... And I called it too. Told my buddy at work I thought that was what was going to happen, those Mad Max rejects turning on them. What the hell is up with those people anyway? Are they retards, escaped from a mental asylum? Why do they talk like that? Certainly it hasn't been long enough yet for humanity to have devolved the way they have...
Anyway, shit end to a shit season.
Here's some random stuff I noticed this season that made me scratch my head:
-Weapons that have been laying on the ground for who knows how long are ready to go with 'just a little cleaning'.
-Rick's deal with the Mad Max retards: he gives them the guns then wants some of them back. Hey moron, they didn't know how many guns you recovered, if you want to keep some of them for yourself, don't give them all away and just keep the best ones for yourself without ever telling them.
-The Mad Max retards: everything about them doesn't make any sense, but why does Rick assume they can be trusted at all? They haven't staked them out, they haven't even proven themselves in any way...
-They arrive back at Alexandria with a camper full of guns (from the women) without even checking to see if the coast is clear. They just roll up. Negan could've been there, they didn't know...
-I thought Daryll was a fugitive, but he too just arrives at Alexandria ON HIS BIKE, which he has been riding in the open over Negan controlled terrain. Can we just assume nobody is watching them, ever?
-How far along is Maggie by now? She seems to get skinnier as time goes along...
-COOOORL aims his rifle by holding it in front of his missing eye.
-I thought Sasha and Rosita were going to snipe Negan and were prepared for a long wait yet the first time he shows up and they don't get a shot, they decide to just storm the camp.
-Speaking of which: what's the point of the zombies around the fence of the Saviours' camp when those 2 women can apparently just stroll in with some wirecutters. Where were the zombies then?
-Why do I keep watching this bollocks?

I stopped watching half way through the last season. It all became cyclical. Find a cool new home, get threatened by bad guys, overcome bad guys but have to leave home, find a cool new home...
I think the main thing people tend to forget is that the show is based off a comic book. People want to think that this show is grounded in reality when really it started off as a comic book about dead people that reanimated. You just have to suspend any notions of it being based on reality and take everything as it comes. I think the comic book has evolved similarly to the show in that it started off more serious and progressively got a bit sillier. Ezekiel is in the comics and plays the part of extravagant and noble king with a pet tiger. Negan is a huge part of the comic series and he too is playing his part in the show as verbose asshole extraordinaire. My main interest in the show right now is actually in the things that don't happen in the comics because you're expecting one thing to happen, but then they throw a slight curve ball.
You know, the first season is the only one I ever bought. It was easy to see why Frank Darabont said: "Fuck this shit" and left when he found out he had to make more episodes with less money. That's when the walking through the woods was born, to save money. I can't believe I keep watching... I should've stopped when they got to that prison, which was even more boring than the farm...

I was interested in the Walking Dead, didn't know the comic but Frank Darabont making a zombie series, that certainly peaked my interest. That first season turned out to be really great as well, hell, I'd recommend watching just that. It's only 6 episodes and it has an open ending but not a cliffhanger. You can just as easily watch that first season and be done with it. You'll have seen the best part of the entire series anyway and a pretty darn good zombie flick. It's the only season I've rewatched and will rewatch in the future...
Game of Thrones I have more difficulties with. Not interested enough in medieval fantasy to start watching, despite the hype. I'll probably never see this, unless maybe I'll get bedridden or whatever.

Ahhh Season 2. Money left that season thanks to AMC's decision to pump more into Mad Men. Definitely my least favorite season though. This season has not been that great either but it's definitely not the worst. I was hoping at least that we'd have something huge happen at the end of this season but hey, I'll take a tiger saving the day during the zombie apocalypse.

Mad Max retards LMAO, that's exactly what I was thinking but I kept calling them the "Junk Punks from the Up Up" . They're a group that I truly don't get. I mean yeah they live in a junk yard, look like they live in a junk yard and style their hair with stuff from the junk yard but, WTF is up with their "language". Good riddance to em. I was hoping Michonne was able to pull off one more round after that fight but that shit just didn't happen. womp womp

THIS!!!! I was fucking furious about that plot point. No patience at all.
edit: Also, for cripes sake, watch Game of Thrones! It's fucking glorious!
Now that you mention Michonne... I have a huge gripe about her... How has she become the sniper of the group all of a sudden? Remember a little while ago she couldn't hit a zombie when he was standing right in front of her, even with a huge telescopic sight? Now she's sniping targets that are moving from left to right all while hanging in a tree, with a bolt action rifle, not even the auto sniper she had before...
How short do you think my memory is? That happened earlier this season!!!!!

Yeah, that shit is just weird. She needs to be up close lopping off heads. I remember her complaining once in the comics that she always had to go first and mockingly repeating something like "Michonne can you get that?"
