I still don't get what Dwight is doing. Wouldn't he be more effective if he just joined the gang and help kill the Saviours? Or at least warn the gang of the intention of getting them infected. He's just tagging along with them for no real reason. Hell, he could've killed Simon 10x over last week.

Not to defend the show in ANY way, but Dwight got stuck with the Saviors & didn't have time to go back to Rick & co. to warn them of the Saviors' plans of getting them infected. The reason he's 'tagging along' with them is because if the Saviors find out he's now on the Alexandrians side obviously they will kill him.

And I agree, he was alone with Simon throughout most of the episode & at any time could've taken him out.

Sorry to be lame, but I gotta ask...did anyone get my joke?

It's like the writers don't even care if anything makes sense anymore... yet I can't bring myself to let the show go into the drop pile I guess because I still hold very little hope that it would someday return to the greatness of season one. :/

I'll stick in until the season finale to see if the wrap anything up. 3 more and I'm out. If they announce an end date within a reasonable amount of seasons (and if people say improves) I'll catch up for the series finale.

As posted last week, I fully expect this season to end with a cliffhanger such that you don't know if Negan will survive or not. So just like viewers had to wait which characters got their heads bashed with Lucille, will have to wait a long time for the real end. Or at least until the casting contract news starts dropping and/or leaks form the set as they start shooting.

I've read cast members say there won't be a cliffhanger. It should conclude the "All Out War" storyline.

They won't be, Simple. TWD fans seem to want nothing but perfection. I've never seen a show so hate watched.

Pained this one through last night. Wow was that bad.

It's the same over, we all know nothing will happen until the finale to either give a conclusion to this war or to extend it further a-la Governor.

I sure hope they end this saga and kill off the annoying useless characters like Tara and that stupid kid.

I disagree Smorbie. We don’t want perfection, we just want better quality control. Quit shoveling shit at us and pretending it’s high-level television. This week’s episode is a prime example: it wouldn’t have been a bad episode if it weren’t for two glaring errors the show it only constantly perpetuates,but relies on:

1) once again, the rules of how the zombie plague works has randomly changed only to serve the lazy writing of the show

2) fish in a barrel in the middle of Arizona magically escape back into the ocean


Why are “fans”frustrated with this? Because the show started off strong. It has shown us moments of quality entertainment. But now, we are given Roadrunner vs. Wiley Coyote and they tell us it is Breaking Bad.

He's not dumb, you know. Just ask him.

And Maggie is a great leader. Just ask all of the characters who had monologues telling us so.

Last season of FTWD set the bar so low I don't know how it could be anything but better. But yeah, the trailer was promising, though it reveals The Black Widow of the Apocalypse Madison is still around.
