I'm simply throwing in my 2 cents into the post. Obviously the show is a success. I just think they need to get away from the 'meet the new bad guy for next season' line of writing. Comic book readers aren't mainstream from my experience and TWD on AMC writers are dealing with mainstream which I'm guessing might make a big difference.Maybe find a military base and start playing with bigger toys. Take over a nuclear powered warship and travel to new and exotic lands maybe.Hell I dunno, just think they need to break from the current theme.

Just watched the season finale... very disappointing. That was poorly done.... If you drag out the entire episode like that.... you spend so much effort building up to it, and then leave it without giving anything to the audience.
Just not very pleased with that season finale.

I thought the first person vantage during the skull smashing was a pretty neat idea actually. I wasn't bothered by this episode, and can easily move on to other good shows and pick right up during the next season premier.
The writers were smart on this cliffhanger. Think of all of the discussions going on and all of the hype they can use to build to next season. Negan is one hell of a character to bring out. I'm actually excited. |

It was a bullshit ending no matter how you spin it dude. Whoever's death it was lost all meaning. A disaster of a decision.

Are us comic book junkies allowed to spoil it? with a spoiler tag? Or has that already been done?

This particular one has been mentioned repeatedly. And considering the show sometimes deviates from the comics, it's not a foregone conclusion it'll go down the same way. I think it will, though. |

So for those that are up to date with the comics, tell us how Negan came to be (how close did the show get to the comics in terms of introducing him and such) and if he's still up and running. Spoiler it if you must.

I read all the comics up through Compendium 2. Just realized compendium 3 was out (going to order it). But, I started watching the comics through Youtube and the Negan intro was very similar on the show. Lots of dialog taken straight from the comics.

Thanks, fellas.
I hung around in the comics to the point where Coral basically had half his head blown off, then I just faded away. I've thought about catching up on the story, but I'm caught up reading Preacher right now (WAY superior to TWD imo, although both are still great). Negan does intrigue me, though. JMD just killed it in his four minutes of airtime. Kept thinking of him playing the Comedian in Watchmen. |
