no comments yet? wow!

Anyway, I think an episode of Mr. Robot makes more sense that this episode. :lol:

But yeah, same as the other show, I think they are trying to "elevate" the show, to make you think and stuff like that. But they are failing miserable.

The best part was Morgan as Terminator.

Re: The Walking Dead (S8E02) -- "The Damned" -- 10/29/17
 

Last week I read something about somebody mentioning they wonder what ever happened to Morales from season 1 but don't remember where. Coincidence.

Where is that sexy blonde Savior (Lindsley Register)? She hasn't been on the show since the middle of last season.

So now we're going to have yet another character go through a moral crisis over killing... in the MIDDLE of the war?! Jesus talks Tara into letting the Savior live because he surrendered. Savior gets lucky, gets a gun, puts it to to Jesus' head. Jesus takes the gun & STILL lets him live?! How many times do these characters need to be put into this situation before they learn?

Re: The Walking Dead (S8E02) -- "The Damned" -- 10/29/17
 

Morgan is back to being lost regarding killing like he was in 'Clear', so I'm guessing he is the next to go.

Re: The Walking Dead (S8E02) -- "The Damned" -- 10/29/17
 

Ive missed her too :(

Re: The Walking Dead (S8E02) -- "The Damned" -- 10/29/17
 

They have not revisited the entire junkyard crew yet either.

Re: The Walking Dead (S8E02) -- "The Damned" -- 10/29/17
 

Why would they? They were killed off.

Kind of hard for me to get into this season. I'm just not finding it interesting yet.

Re: The Walking Dead (S8E02) -- "The Damned" -- 10/29/17
 

Are you assuming this or was it something I missed because although I did see them fighting, I did not see ALL of them get killed, especially the leader Jadis.

Re: The Walking Dead (S8E02) -- "The Damned" -- 10/29/17
 

I remember them being murdered by Rick's group after they pulled the double cross. I could be wrong though. Might be wishful thinking on my part.

Re: The Walking Dead (S8E02) -- "The Damned" -- 10/29/17
 

Some of them are just stupid, I think. Dude, if you're a pacifist, then just sit home with Judith. They could've used Coral in the fight instead.

I've been reading a lot of people wishing for Morales, a guy I barely remembered from season 1. I've rewatched it several times, and he is just kind of there, blending into the background. But, since I had been reading so many people wishing for it, I've begun some entertaining conspiratorial thoughts that AMC or the show is planting bots on those threads to hype it up so people will be excited about it rather than WTF or WHOtf.

Gimple said on TD that they are wanting to remind Rick of how far he had come from the beginning, and I guess Morales is the last man standing who can do that. But,......SNORE. Much better than an hour of watching Negan lean back and yodel, but, still SNORE.

Re: The Walking Dead (S8E02) -- "The Damned" -- 10/29/17
 

I'm sure a few were taken down, but they retreated. They shot off some smoke to cover their escape. They were not wiped out and are still out there.

Re: The Walking Dead (S8E02) -- "The Damned" -- 10/29/17
 

I hope we get more Nikki and Paulo's on this show like in Lost! Morales was always there.

Re: The Walking Dead (S8E02) -- "The Damned" -- 10/29/17
 

This show is just one big bowl of "meh" now. What a bummer.

Re: The Walking Dead (S8E02) -- "The Damned" -- 10/29/17
 

Yea, they have a rather large group, and their leader was still alive as well.

So did anyone else catch that one of the Saviors was Minkus from Boy Meets World. :lol:

That's him on the right.

Re: The Walking Dead (S8E02) -- "The Damned" -- 10/29/17
 

He did play a character on One Tree Hill for 171 episodes as opposed to the 23 on Boy Meets World...

But yep, IMDB confirms it was him. Wow. I didn't notice it.

Re: The Walking Dead (S8E02) -- "The Damned" -- 10/29/17
 

Gizmo, I can confirm for you that I have never, nor plan to, watch One Tree Hill. ;)

Anyway, He became famous working on BMW.

Re: The Walking Dead (S8E02) -- "The Damned" -- 10/29/17
 

The excitement over this show is really gone for me. I truly couldn't believe some of the story lines.



this has always been must watch tv for me and typically I would watch something else until 920 or so to try and watch it close to live but w/o commercials. I think I will be watching this sometime during the week moving forward. Its not FTWD bad (yet) but there is something missing from this season making it far less compelling. Maybe I'm still glum from the Glen/Abraham thing or the wussy Rick of last season just makes this season seem a little flatter... :( Was my favorite show for a long time, now its just a show.

Re: The Walking Dead (S8E02) -- "The Damned" -- 10/29/17
 

No drama that ever goes on for this many seasons ever stays good.

Re: The Walking Dead (S8E02) -- "The Damned" -- 10/29/17
 

Bringing back Morales from season 1 (who I don't even remember) felt so random. And now he's working for Negan?

I did enjoy Morgan having that moment after surviving getting gunned down and turning into a killing machine.

So was that baby "Gracie" that Rick found alive or dead? I'm assuming she was dead since Rick didn't take her.

Yeah Jesus and Tara arguing whether or not to kill that guy was a pretty dumb moment in this episode.

and wow, how the mighty have fallen in this forum. This show once upon a time would have almost 100+ comments by Monday, now most here don't seem to have any enthusiasm to talk about it.

Re: The Walking Dead (S8E02) -- "The Damned" -- 10/29/17
 

The baby was alive. Rick didn't get a chance to take her because Morales came in from behind him.

Re: The Walking Dead (S8E02) -- "The Damned" -- 10/29/17
 

you know this show has gone downhill when we dont have multiple pages for this episode

Re: The Walking Dead (S8E02) -- "The Damned" -- 10/29/17
 

I figured she was alive, since she wasn't a walker baby. It didn't make sense, though, that all their fighting didn't wake her.

So once again, everyone in the show is the worst shot in the world. All that gunfire and a few nobodies are all that are hit.

I'm also disappointed that the guy that was such a dick at the 'collections' (Jared?) and took Morgan's staff wasn't killed on the spot.

Re: The Walking Dead (S8E02) -- "The Damned" -- 10/29/17
 

Carol and Ezekiel come upon a walker that has it's skin all torn off and wonders what befell it ...

Re: The Walking Dead (S8E02) -- "The Damned" -- 10/29/17
 

Not entirely. Tasha, Jesus and Morgan were dishing out nice headshots. And we've often seen Rick and others with precise shots as well. That's the kind of shooting that could really come in handy when you're presented with an unarmed group of lead baddies out in the wide open. But I guess that sort of skill can be used to shoot out windows instead.

As mentioned, the Tasha/Jesus scenes were beyond stupid.

I have no idea who Morales is/was.

What's with the montage at the beginning and end with closeups of the faces? Stop trying to be artistic and deep... this show is neither.

I assumed Morgan would be dead this season just based on how useless his character is and how far back he goes.

Would someone just shoot Blackspeare? His talk is so annoying.

Re: The Walking Dead (S8E02) -- "The Damned" -- 10/29/17
 

I suspect so... and the mentions of the festival in the "old man Rick" parts hint at it as well.

Re: The Walking Dead (S8E02) -- "The Damned" -- 10/29/17
 

The episode should have been called “The Walking Dead: The Episode Where Literally Nothing Happens”. And that says a lot given the last season or two

Re: The Walking Dead (S8E02) -- "The Damned" -- 10/29/17
 

Wow. The show is so bad right now it's shocking.

Re: The Walking Dead (S8E02) -- "The Damned" -- 10/29/17
 

Speaking of TD, folks give Chris Hardwick a bad time about being such a fawning sycophant (and rightly so), but during the most recent episode he brought up both "Why didn't they just kill Negan?" and "Sure seemed like a whole lot of Storm Troopers exchanging gunfire" moments directly to Gimple during the show, so props to him for that even though he didn't really press him much and mostly laughed it off.

FYI, Gimple didn't actually respond to the Storm Trooper comment, and gave a weak answer about trying to get people to turn on Negan rather than just kill him - ignoring the obvious fact that if he was dead it would be completely unnecessary to convince anyone of anything regarding Negan any more.

Re: The Walking Dead (S8E02) -- "The Damned" -- 10/29/17
 

No idea what the faces scene at the opening/ending was other than for me to fast forward past it.

I should be excited about the battle scenes since so little happen last season. However, I am just not feeling it. The whole Jesus/Tara arguing over keeping people alive when it is obvious they need to die.

Even the first guy proved they can not be trusted yet Jesus still keeps them alive for obvious battles later I guess.

Just poor writing. I love the two man assault with Rick and Daryl then splitting them up into one man teams.

They need new writers and obviously a new show runner at this point. Something is very wrong with the show if they think they can toss so much bad at us and expect to retain ratings.

Re: The Walking Dead (S8E02) -- "The Damned" -- 10/29/17
 

This show has almost always propelled plot via character idiocy. They just don't know how to progress story without characters doing moronic shit. Pretty much everything that happens from now on is ruined because not shooting Negan from point blank range is impossible to justify. If even homer turd polisher Chris Hardwick calls you out on something that fucking obvious you know you goofed.

This wall to wall action episode should've been gripping stuff but instead it's endless exchange of gunfire with nobody but redshirts getting killed. Who fucking cares.

Re: The Walking Dead (S8E02) -- "The Damned" -- 10/29/17
 

At some point in the battles I lost track on which side was which and it's just two sides shooting aimlessly at each other with a random nobody dropping every now and then. Yeah, that was a strange pointless hour of bullet wasting.

Re: The Walking Dead (S8E02) -- "The Damned" -- 10/29/17
 

Yeah, I meant to mention that, too. They have many convenient headshots, including some apparent sniper shots, when it's no one of particular importance. When it's the important people, it turns into The Simpsons shootout gif, which I'm too lazy to find.

Just wait until junkyard woman comes back. She'll bring annoying talk up an order of magnitude.

Re: The Walking Dead (S8E02) -- "The Damned" -- 10/29/17
 

Yeah as much of a jerk of session TD is I still really like Chris Hardwick and he does make it an entertaining show no matter who is on the couch. So much better than any other stretch show I've seen. And he won't openly bad mouth the show but he'll still throw in some jabs now and then. Same with FWD and Madison's total incompetence. I just lol'd at Ezekiel's suggestion that Carol not waste her ammunition. Yeah they need to save it for any windows they might encounter.

I think bringing back Morales could be a very interesting turn of events as that could really open the door for following Negan's group and how if we had followed his group we would be rooting for the saviors. But they'll probably waste that potential like they did with Terminus, or the wolves, or just about any other potentially interesting subplot they bring in.

Overall I still really like TWD but I really wonder how much of a wet blanket it was killing off Glenn and Abraham. I think they lost a whole bunch of fans. Not just viewers but fans. People just don't seem that excited about it anymore. It used to be that I would have to avoid FB if I couldn't watch the episode live but now no one is talking about it.

Is she the one with the neck tattoo?

Re: The Walking Dead (S8E02) -- "The Damned" -- 10/29/17
 

Didn't the leader of the trash heap people shoot Rick in the Season 7 finale after zombie Sasha got out of the coffin? I don't recall any mention of it so far this season or seeing Rick recuperate from it.

Re: The Walking Dead (S8E02) -- "The Damned" -- 10/29/17
 

yup... he was shot in the side or something in the finale. But that was last year so he recovered. ;)

Re: The Walking Dead (S8E02) -- "The Damned" -- 10/29/17
 

Michonne has been recovering from her fight in the finale ever since, but Rick bounced right back as if nothing happened! 😁

Re: The Walking Dead (S8E02) -- "The Damned" -- 10/29/17
 

Finally watched this last night. Forgot it was even on this past Sunday. Spent that night watching the World Series.

Glad to know I wasn't the only one lost on who Morales is/was. :lol:

Re: The Walking Dead (S8E02) -- "The Damned" -- 10/29/17
 

My question is not 'Why didnt they just kill Negan' because the answer to that is obvious. My question is why would the writers put him in the situation to begin with where he could be so easily killed?
