When Neegan showed up and I realized that the only fun episodes were the season opener, mid-season break, and finale and that Glenn and Maggie were the only two characters I wanted to live. Since the lame Glenn hid under a trash bin fakeout death, I knew Glenn was gotta get the bat and it wasn’t worth watching Maggie go through whatever dumb storyline they came up with after that as they were becoming even more predictable and mediocre over time.
Don’t regret watching it to that point or anything, that was just when I decided to spend that time watching something else.
It was shortly after they faked out Glenn’s death, because I felt the writers were being emotionally sadistic just for shock value and not to enrich the story.
I think I also quit watching The 100 around the same time for that same reason (and because of a couple character deaths that were written very shitty. If you know, you know.)
TWD really was in my opinion the first TV show that had a social media hype train. And the writing quickly felt like a lot of fan service(plot armor and screen time) and shock value (intentional cliffhangers to spur social media conversations)… Other great shows like Breaking Bad and GoT also had huge hype trains but it felt like only connusuiers watched them. TWD was the kind of show that appealed to many generations. It was pretty sad to watch it go downhill. If they had finished strong the IP would be as highly regarded as Breaking Bad.

That’s a very unique way of writing connoisseurs
The part where they have a battle over the prison, and after the good guys win they leave their newly secured fortress because some fences got knocked down.
Is that around around the same time as the scene that’s been made into a meme where the good main cop guy (can’t remember name) is crying leaning over telling his son that his mum is now a zombie or dead?
If I remember correctly, it’s the cop dad realizing his son shot his mother (copwife) who was in the process of birthing his sibling. She couldnt complete the brith naturally, and was dying of blood loss. If you die you turn.
So dadcop was away at this time due to plot, carl shoots mom and they rip the baby out.
This meme scene is when Rick returns to learn all that has transpired, and that Carl is completely detached and uncaring (outwardly).
Rick then goes into the scene where the birth happened and it is implied he finds a walker eating the corpse of his wife.
He is, as you can imagine, somewhat bummed out and grouchy about all this.
It also marked his son’s pivot from being his little follower (as in wanting to follow his footsteps) into something much more dark.
I dunno, tried to remember. probably goofed some details

Lmfao I did not expect this line
I don’t have TV, so will catch shows later than everyone else of I hear good things. By the time I’d was ready to seek it out, the consensus was to not bother so I didn’t.
Avoided Game of Thrones the same way (may still watch it except for the final season some day). Only watched Dexter for a few seasons and quit while I knew I was ahead. Etc.
I do the same with video games.
There’s way too much media out there, so why not hold back a bit and wait for the dust to settle?
Game of Thrones is worth watching till the end, just maybe have a beer and your phone in hand for the last 2 seasons.
