TWD Penultimate Episode

[lucylou]

I know this show lost popularity but I’m still watching. Anyone else? It’s crazy there’s only 2 episodes left. I’ve been watching this show since before my kids were born!

[lucylou]

Well, I’ve enjoyed this last part of the season but this episode was nothing. I really thought they were going to take these last 2 episodes and do something big, but now I don’t have high hopes for the finale.
Pretty sure they’re trying to sucker us into watching their 1583 spin-offs to find out what comes after.

I'm not caught up yet!

We watched the last two episodes last night. I like how they ended it. Felt very nostalgic, this show has been with us for a long time! And I feel like the characters are family. 😢

I’m excited for Rick and Michonne. Gosh I have missed Rick. Not excited for Maggie and Negan. I love them both, but hate them together. Unsure about Daryl all by himself. He’s my favorite, so we’ll see. I’m so annoyed by FTWD, yet we haven’t been able to stop watching. Maddie coming back might do it though 😂

I'm plowing through. Negan just cut off Alphas head

I stopped watching after the episode where Rick got picked up by the stupid helicopter so reading this has be apoplectic.

I'm happy with the way it ended. I always wanted Darryl to end up with Carol but he's probably better on his own.

willow Maggie & Neegan didn't end up together, they just sort of made amends.

Ok, that makes me less "WTF" about it. I was going to be really confused if Maggie started boning the guy who bashed her husband and father of her child's skull to pieces in front of her, even if he became a nice guy.

He found love again and was having a baby.  He apologized to Maggie and was even willing to die to save the rest of them.  Anyway, Maggie said she would never be able to full forgive him but she was working on it.

Ahh gotcha. That is fair and makes sense.

I googled to see how long the time period was supposed to be from Season 1 to the finale. The article I read said approx 13.5 years. Which is wild considering the first what, 4 or 5 seasons take place in a matter of 4 or 5 months? Crazy, haha.

There was a big time jump after you stopped watching.

Oh yeah I saw that in the article that there were a bunch of time jumps - I think I might have watched a couple episodes after Rick left because I do also recall the time jump where Judith is way older and Michonne is pregnant which I think maybe was right after that? I was mostly just musing on how the first few seasons utilized time in such a different way than later seasons.

Definitely. We watched it as it aired and then I binged a rewatch of the first few seasons. At one point I was like wait it’s been like3 days? Halfway through a season.

And they’re getting their own spinoff together.

I really enjoyed their platonic friendship. When they told each other they loved each other this season, I loved it.
But the Blinds say those 2 actors were sleeping together for quite awhile even though he’s been in a relationship with Diane Krueger. So that’s all I think about when I see them on screen together 😅

Ok we finished last night. I was watching in real time when the show was coming out, but stopped watching right when Negan was going to kill Glenn and Abraham. Like I watched the season finale where it was set up, but was like, yeah no after that. I was just clenched the whole time and it was too stressful. Then my husband decided to rewatch and I jumped back in on the episode we met the Whisperers. So I missed like 5 seasons.

That said, I felt like they didn't wrap up Rick very well. Like, yeah we saw him, but I wanted more without needing a whole spin off for the original main character.

Eta, I guess I actually only missed all of season 7 and 8, but it seemed like more.

I felt like that about Michonne’s story line. I kept waiting for her to come back, or to check in on her storyline and just … nothing. It felt like once they decided on all these spin-offs, they just completely dropped the ball on some of these characters.

I just finished and yes I agree with you.

He also saved her son.

I did not think there was overlap. I also did not think their previous dating was a secret so I don't know. 

I can't stand Carol.

I never knew it was an official thing. I was just going off Enty’s blind items saying they were hooking up (while he was with Diane). This was in the earlier seasons so my memory might not be accurate.
