Serious moment here guys...this is not the Jesus fangirl Danae complaining. This is The Walking Dead fangirl Danae complaining. I hate that gimple and co are once again basically ignoring a great comic character. Abraham's character was not used to its full potential nor was Tyreese. And once again they are going to under utilize a great character....yes Jesus. The character is so awesome in the books and it saddens me and pisses me off that the character is being treated as a secondary. And this is why I resent the character of daryl....his being in the story waters down otherwise great characters. the characters of tyreese and abraham suffered because of the presence of daryl and now the character of jesus is meeting the same fate. I suppose the best I can hope for at this point is that he becomes maggie's greatest ally and right hand man sooner rather than later also...I am not a fan of cheesy moments. the rally the troops music near the end while the gunfight was going on....a bit too cheesy. but the cheesiest part of all that made me roll my eyes, the leaders of each community on that platform. cheesy indeed. I rarely post in the complaint thread so you know these things must really bother me LOL Don't even get me started on Tyreese. Gimple even made him not wanting to kill walkers, and he basically became the babysitter. There's still room for Jesus to grow since the cast is so large, but like you I can see the pattern. Dwight has been built up more than Jesus which should give us cause for concern that history is repeating itself. I didn't like the rally the troops music either. They're horrible when it comes to the soundtrack on the show. Many times they force inappropriate songs into scenes probably because they think it sounds cool. It just gets in the way and makes the show cheesy. |

I did not like this finale. I know everyone says last year's finale was the worst, but at least it was good leading up to that horrible cliffhanger. This finale was lackluster and boring. It wasn't all horrible but I was expecting more. Who's a worse showrunner, Gimple or Mazarra? We should make a poll. lol I enjoyed the finale but it's probably because in the past couple of seasons my expectations of the show have plummeted. So I'm not getting my hopes up. So if it's marginally good now, I'm pleased. I'll put an early vote in for Gimple being the worst showrunner. And this is from someone who did have complaints about Mazzara too. My three key points would be this: 1. When Mazzara was in charge the show he grew the audience. It's seen a decline under Gimple, with this season being precipitous. 2. Yes, Mazzara killed off too many people in Seasons 2& 3, but that was actually more realistic to the world our Survivors are in. When Shane, Dale, Lori, Andrea, Merle etc all die you have that feeling that anyone can go. Now you can practically guess who is going to go each season and you know core people are safe. 3. Gimple's damn annoying, momentum killing bottle episodes. |

Actually, I think they have a pretty good record when it comes to soundtracks. Season 4 was exceptional in that department.
The one they used when Daryl set the lake on fire was great as well.

Agree with Danae, thought the end of the episode was far too soppy. I get why some people would complain about Negan's antics, but who's really getting on my nerves is Ezekiel and his lofty talk. Eugene a close second. Them trusting the Scavengers in the first place made no sense, even though it was in keeping with Rick's usual erratic decision making. Sorry that I was wrong about Eugene, I just hope they won't make him turn back again now. Just kill him off already. Oh yeah and The Kingdom coming in at just the right moment. It was pushing it at Terminus already, enough of it! How dare you speak this way of the King! LOL. |

No, don't get me started on the shitter character Tyreese was. I've already predicted that Daryl will die by Alpha's knife. And, yes, it will be somewhere around 9B, hell, with the way the show's been dragging maybe S10. So we have quite a ways to go. Daryl is so f*cking played out its not even funny anymore. I didn't even excited when he held the knife to Dwight's face or made his little threats. Just bored really.It was nice that Jesus took Judith to the Hilltop. But, chin up they could've had him stay behind to protect her.

85 long minutes waiting to Rise up felt like an entire season to me
Man, I'm right there with you. I'm still waiting to RISE UP. I have to go back to re watch S6 to get my rise - specifically 6B.

I hate everything about this show. That's my complaint. We're still talking about "Days of our Lives", right?  |

This will always be my all time favorite song they have used on the show. I had never heard it before and fell in love with it immediately. |

Yes, that one, Oats In The Water and Last Pale Light In The West were brilliant discoveries for me back then. |

Daryl should have exited as Negan's victim. It was the perfect moment for him to go. I think it's optimistic to expect him gone in a couple of seasons. He has a loyal fanbase and with the declining ratings I don't think they're going to want to anger those people. |

I saw all the talk about that song, and paid attention for it on my second watch last night. I thought it was perfect. |

He kills someone and loots it from that person. |
