So, is anyone still watching? I wasn't going to but when I heard Andrew Lincoln was leaving the show, I had to see how Rick Grimes is killed off. (Spoiler Alert) Dont read further if you intend to catch up.
The show was a bit boring to start the season. They saved Negan and jailed him. There is predictable conflict between the Saviors and the other groups. But the Saviors have no weapons. It's set a year and a half after the final Savior conflict, so in that time Jadis remembered how to speak English!
The writers seem to be listening to criticism too. There are fewer cars, more horses and motorcycles. Eugene is the structural engineer and chemist who has the Saviors making ethanol and building things.
Rick' ends up with a rebar through his guts and has one last coup de gras, and once again saves everyone from the zombie horde. It was a very improbable outcome, considering the severity of the injury. It looks like Rick is gone forever, but is saved by Jadis and the helicopter people. He's seen alive flying away. I don't like the open ending.
Then in highlights for the second part of the season there is a three + year time jump. Judith is a badass. And again the writers must be listening because the zombies are evolving (kind of dumb idea), but they are becoming more dangerous, or so it would seem.. The show was better when the zombies were more of a threat.
Hopefully the Zombies aren't evolving back to semi human people and the group sits them down in classrooms to teach them how to be civil, and conform to society. I don't want to see Carol having an affair with a dead guy.
After being thoroughly frustrated with the show, and thinking I was done with it, my interest is piqued enough to see where it goes from here. I was sick of Rick and Carl. They are both gone, so maybe it gets more interesting. And the show is promising a new direction. Who knows.
