Is anyone still watching The Walking Dead?

[the ringo kid]

I admit to kinda sorta still watching a couple episodes,-no, I didnt see Carl die-I saw Negen fall down a couple flights, didnt get Sunday's episode-starting to no longer care as Zombies are now just a byline story.

I'm still hanging in there, but it is getting tough. The writing has become progressively stupider, and the gun stuff is awful. Carl got his right eye shot out, so they unnecessarily switched his holster to the left side but he shoots a rifle right handed with his patch. Ammo supply is critical, but they blaze away full auto. Last week a major character (Simon) had an M4 with no rear sight. Not folded down - no sight at all.

I'll suffer through the rest of this season, but that's probably it for me.

I dropped out after a coupla shows into the first season. Creeped me out....

 

[CalmerThanYou]

I am still in. Gotta see the Negan and Rick bro hug-out at the end.

It has become a soap opera with zombies. Or maybe Survivor with zombies.

I've also noticed that they don't seem to have any trouble finding gasoline and their batteries still work.

Eugene 'the bullet maker' sure makes reloading look like a arduous task. Eh, it's not that difficult...

The big one for me: Back in one of the early episodes with the CDC guy, he tells Rick that they are all infected with the disease. That is supposedly the reason people turn when they die, even if not killed by a zombie.

So if everyone is already infected, why does getting bit or wounded by the contaminated weapons do them in?

Yeah, I know - expecting logical explanations in a fictional series about zombies??? But still...

I still have a box of zombie .223 so I am going to keep watching.

i came in late on this series. after hearing people talking about it for years i stared watching a little over 2 years ago when i was taking care of my bed riden dying mother while living at her house.
in between feeding her, turning her in her bed, and other chores there wasn't much to do so i watched the walking dead marathon that was playing at the time and got caught up on previous seasons.
i was initially impressed by it and have watched every episode since although the writing and directing took a huge plunge with unbelievably badly filmed shootouts last season that continue this season but i suppose i will watch it till the end because i have so much invested in it now.

I see zombies every time we go to Walmart to get some groceries.

Up until the start of the current season, I was watching it, but began fast forwarding through episodes where they walked... and walked and walked and really said nothing important. I finally deleted the first batch of this seasons episodes from the DVR and haven't been watching it at all. It seemed like the same story over and over. Big Bad shows up, threatens them all, kills a few , they take them out. Move to new town, things look good, start fresh, uh oh, Big Bad 2.0 shows up.... etc. etc.

My wife had been a big fan until the end of the last season. She has now quit watching. I don't think she even knows about Carl.

Me, I'd rather read the Forum.

The zombies were always just a byline story . . .

I used to watch it religiously until Carl died. The Negan thing seems to drag on forever. I catch up if it is on during the week late at night, or when they do marathons. I am done until the scenery changes. The Walking dead, Combat and MASH were the only TV shows I ever watched.

 

[Protocall_Design]

I don't watch it, saw about 1/2 of one episode, that was enough for me. Judging by what everyone is reporting, apparently the script writers are now zombies...

 

[petepeterson]

It's really starting to get monotonous. I did enjoy the first few seasons, but by now, there's no reason a zombie should be sneaking up on anyone.

 

[Clarke Hammer]

I watch it on Netflix, so I am always one season behind. I agree that early seasons were better and quality has tapered off, but I still find it at least entertaining enough. I've always found it odd that each clan has a different name for the dead, from walkers to biters and roamers, but I don't think I've heard any character in the show ever use the word "zombie." I keep waiting for someone to refer to them as walkers, and someone else say, "Do you mean the zombies?"

 

[Frank46]

Suprised that the garbage lady who picked up nagan didn't make an appearance in the last episode. She was driving and coldcocked him with a pistol and that was it. Sunday maybe she will show up. Frank

^^Ditto this^^

Never did "get" the whole zombie thing. I thought the original Night of the Living Dead was stupid and never understood why people got into the idea. Just like vampires.

Dead is dead. There is no undead. Never has been, never will be. Within a few minutes after a physical body dies that's it - ain't nothin' gonna reanimate it. I've never been able to suspend my disbelief to that degree.

 

[Ranger17]

the wife and I have watched it from day one but yes it's getting harder. They wanna kill Negan, yet how many times was he out in the open but somehow no one pulled the trigger...and so on...

I dont read comics so cant say if that's tied to the books, but really preferred the first season or two. Not sure how much longer i'll keep on it.

 

[Okie21]

It was once a great show. It should have ended, though. I too am tired of it.

The M4 sight thing isn't all that out of whack. If you invade a gun store to scavenge, you're gonna grab the stock gun and not peruse the accessories (present company excepted, of course). I'm also not surprised at the number of full auto weapons, because that fix is very simple without fingerprints, a Form 4 and a $200 check. I would also imagine there'd be a few suppressors hanging around. Most LGS's around here have a couple dozen. The ammo thing is the most troubling. Negan has Eugene tooling up a factory, but the Rick crowd just scavenges. Around here, they'd be down to .22 LR from a 10/22 and dove or duck loads from a single shot Revelation or a camo Mossberg . . .
