Tomorrow night, Carol is BACK!

Now that's character evolution! Once a mousy abused wife and now she's one of the most impressive badasses on the show! She'll be needed in the upcoming war.

Is she still alive in the comics (not that the series follows the comics that closely)?

I don't want to go through a long Wiki page to find out, but I'd be interested in knowing who's dead in the comics, but alive in the show (and vice-versa).

The show is getting to be too much of a slow burn for me. I hope they don't end this season with a cliffhanger like the last one. They got pretty negative feedback for doing it the last time.

Yes, I agree. I think there was a lot of stock put into the Neegan's take over, but I think it is falling short. From what I have been hearing, people just aren't that on board with the story line. I still love the show and will always watch it. However, it does seem like some of the episodes have lost the heart that it used to have.

I miss the days when the whole main cast was in every episode. Last night's episode had it's moments, like the Darryl and Maggie moment, but otherwise, not a lot seemed to happen.

Absolutely! We're almost at the end of the season, and I feel like I'm watching some Oprah network melodrama. Cut to the chase, guys.

I'm going to keep watching as I'm too heavily invested in it at this point, but it's becoming a chore. Certain characters that I originally found annoying but had grown to like have come full circle and are annoying the crap out of me again!

[Mord]

To be completely honest, I thought the last season of Fear The Walking Dead was more enjoyable than this. I also have too much invested in this series to stop watching. Lately, it seems like I'm enjoying moments from current episodes (when I used to love the entire hour).

[long live kong]

I haven't seen Fear the Walking Dead yet. Saving it for a rainy  day!

From the episode when Rick and the gang and 20 or so Alexandrians took out a few hundred walkers in hand to hand combat the show has been steadily losing steam. Many, if not most viewers are not too enamoured of the war with Negan storyline and don't want it stretched into next season, although that's probably going to happen. The show basically has no where to go. With the walkers no longer a major threat and rotting away it's the human villains that are now the primary danger, but that's a limited concept. The show can't go on for another few seasons with Rick & co. taking on the tyrant of the season.

Oops, I just realized I wrote something similar on the previous page. Sorry for repeating myself. But then again, just as a good cast is worth repeating, a good point is worth repeating too!

That was a fantastic episode. I don't have a problem with the survivors becoming so adept at killing walkers that other humans are a worse threat, as long as we still get to see plenty of zombie battles and hordes, but this hasn't been the case. My biggest beef has been with the writing. Some of the episodes have been all over the place and I know I keep harking back to the garbage gang (who aren't in the comics) but they are so cheesy I'm lost for words. Who on earth conceived of these characters?? And who was responsible for that cgi deer??!  I know all tv shows run their course but there's no excuse for shoddy writing.

I think the guy that did the CGI for the Scorpion King in THE MUMMY RETURNS did the work on that deer.  Man, that was bad!
