The Walking Dead Season 8 Episode 8 Review & Reaction – Walking Dead Weekly

Why the long close up facial shots over and over again. How did Negans group get their mojo back…weird writing…stupid really.

Third Eye Blind? Are we listening to Third Eye Blind's "How's it going to be"….. Awesome!! Oh, the late 90's nostalgia music, love it!! 😄
Back to the episode, it was an okay to a crappy mid-season finale, 6.5 rating from me. I had really hoped for more but it gave what needed to give, a mediocre MSF at best. The decision to A) show the war at night was a bad decision, I couldn't see that well, that was shit B) those obnoxious closeups of everyone's faces….Cringe worthy Ugh!! C) the pacing, really 90 minutes of bleh? It had some decent moments but overall it was a lackluster MSF.
Killing Carl is the stupidest thing the Gimp has done besides that bullshit season 6 cliffhanger. He just ruined a damn good portion of the comics and Carl's arc, nice going Gimp, nice going 💩
Next year when walking dead comes back, the fallout of Sunday's night decision will be felt through loss of viewers and 🎶how's it going to be? When Carl's no longer there? how's it going to be? Hmm, hmm🎶
see ya guys next year!❤
Merry Christmas guys!!! 🎄

I like how these guys are honest about the bad moments and the good moments of the show. There are so many horrible parts to the walking dead, and so few good parts. The writers are idiots and they hate their fans

episode was almost unwatchable…worst episode of twd so far…

I literally watch the hour of you guys talking about the show so I don’t have to watch the hour of the actual show. Like, that is more enjoyable for me. Which is kind of sad? AMC needs to get some new writers because this is not working. We want our characters to be bold and badass and to win.

The Walking Dead just needs to end. Complete fucking shitshow.

This is rick’s story how can he take a back seat

Worst review ever these guys no nothing

Yeah….this first half of the season just seems off. Weirdly off.

I could have used more from this ep. But it was still good to watch it. I've really liked S8-a! You all complain too much though.

Carl dying is good imo. I'm not feeling the Aaron & Enid pairing. They f*d that mission up! Those people at Oceanside that might have wanted to support our group's collision won't be cool with their leader's death. I like letting Dwight in the group… Idl taking Eugene back. You're right, this was one of the best (maybe is #1) ep. of Maggie.

I sure will miss Carl Grimes and best of luck to Chandler for playing my favorite character so well.

OH! They gave you free stuff! So much for an objective and critical review!

After all that convincing and air time, Jadis saying "not like picture" and running off was hilariously bad.

You guys are crazy. This MSF scared me shit-less. I was wearing my pee pee pants the whole time…

To the most likely gay guy on the far right: Eric has NOT been on 58 episodes! IMDB is always wrong! He's been on very few episodes, maybe 20 if even.

Gimple said Carl got bit a couple episodes back which was with Sadik

God seriously you guys can't be pleased. This episode was REALLY good. It's easily the best episode of the season . Now I remember why I stopped watching this channel a long time ago. Later.

been BIGLY let down by this season. Negan's losing his mythic scariness, which really just pretty much diminishes his character to me.
i dunno…this season..it seems like a whole group of different people just take over the rein, cuz, i feel like watching a different show…a cheesier, lousier version of The Walking Dead.
and the main characters just keep making the DUMBEST mistakes, it's frustrating…
Rick going back to the garbage people… NONE of the heroes keep guard on the Saviors after Daryl drove the bigass truck into their HQ… Gabriel didn't just leave Gregory and drove off..and wasn't able to kill Negan right then and there…
Carl's fate didn't even give me the same reaction as any of the previous characters' exits… I dunno..maybe, i'm just gettin' tired of this show.. it used to be one of my faves… but, i saw a couple of panels from the comic book, after Negan's defeat..and i remember it still excited me. i dunno..not too looking forward to February.

Yes Ben you are right. Carl got bit in the woods 2 episodes ago. If you go back and watch that episode, it's actually REALLY clear. I only felt how obvious it was watching that scene again after knowing he was bit. Makes a lot of sense.

Giant plotholes anyway!!!!!

This finale was super bad with a few exceptions. Check out the avclub review – it says everything I want to say about it. "Individual scenes can be haunting or creepy or even effectively funny, but all that dead air—all those goofy dramatic extreme close-ups and endless, circular conversations—robs entire hours of energy and purpose."

Dude did yall even watch the episode???

Ben is a little creepy (his Enid comment), extremely negative and tries way too hard. I hope he gets "discovered" soon so we can get a lead host who actually likes the show.

Lol shot of wine…its called communion 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I wonder if one of the savors bit carl instead of a walker??? Hmmmm mayyybeeee???????

The lady's name in the hijab is Mabila. She was the same lady who came to see King Ezekiel about one of the crops and would never get close to Shiva.

Rick had negan on the ground and he hits him with the bottom of the bat instead of the barb wire part….. so stupid

So this season the group is in a worse place then they started and some how coral got bit by a walker ….. just terrible

Ezekial is a dead man

Wooow I remember thinking Carl got bit when those 2 walkers had him in the woods.I love the time jumps.That's a big twist.

Yall whining too much.This is 1 of the best seasons and best ep

I actually enjoyed the episode. Wasn’t great but solid. The action was a big step up from what we have previously gotten this season. I actually felt a slight bit of tension, which I haven’t felt that watching this show since the season 7 premiere. I do think Carl’s death was underwhelming tho. Since he know he had been bite from the previous episode than he should have made some grand sacrifice to save everyone else. The last minute bite reveal just felt kinda lazy.

Although pre-Carl, there were some good moments, this episode didn't have much steam, but that Carl moment blew me away and I'm utterly heartbroken about his demise.

Correction – The show is not pulling 10 million. It is down to 7.5 to 8million. Gimple and AMC has wrecked this show with cheapness.

You guys are crazy!!! LAST SEASON SUCKED A BAG OF DICKS!!! AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED THIS ENTIRE SEASON WAS AMAZING!! But then again my expectations for this season were expected no action and the same character development happening week after week….so considering how awful last season was this season was amazing! P.S. LITERALLLLY SOOOOO MUCH HAPPENED AND FUGGIN CARL IS DYING AND YOU SAY "I don't mean to shit on the episode but I just wanted more" COME ON YOU WHINERS! This season is definitely more re-watchable compared to the last 2 -3 seasons! The show has been missing the action for awhile now THIS SHOW IS A SHOW ABOUT ZOMBIES I DONT NEED A BUNCH OF "AS THE WORLD TURNS" CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT AND RELATIONSHIP MOMENTS I WANT SOME ZOMBIE CHOPPIN BAD GUY SHOOTIN' ACTION AND THEY FINALLY BROUGHT IT AFTER ALL OF THOSE BORING AND SLOW ASS SEASONS!!

Get some new hosts for the second half of the season

Carl started limping when he fell off the latter after taking to negan. It was pretty obvious.

You know when they remake one of my favorite movies and they tell you it will stay pretty close to the original film and have the same characters but changed some plot points I don't get all mad about it im up for the change instead of them making it shot for shot.So I don't know why all these Walking Dead comic readers are upset over this big change from the source material im glad they did it trust me it is whats best for the TV Series going forward.

Now were back to how it was from the start nobody is safe I will keep on watching now I was getting soo sick of them doing every little thing just like the comics and hearing about it from its readers everywhere. I hope they move away from comics even more in the future and do more original content.

Really? Negan is like a cartoon character?
Eugene, Jesus, Ezekiel, Carl, etc, are not like cartoon characters?

I’ve said this before, but I love these characters so much that I could honestly watch them stare at the walls and talk about the weather every episode, and I would still watch it. That said, not everyone feels that way. As much as I love this show and can’t live without it, I will say something needs to be done about Gimple. They either need to sit down and talk to him, or they need to replace him. He’s focused more on killing characters for shock and trying to trick the audience than he is about composing a deep, character given narrative.
