AMC's The Walking Dead

The Junction ... the Junction ... hmm, refresh my memory. Was that where a rural matriarch has three nubile daughters who have turned, so she puts her "Uncle Joe" in charge of bringing unsuspecting city folks to her B&B by the retro Iron Horse, having them over literally for (wait for it) lunch? I'm assuming they lived a fur piece down from Herschel's farm.

 

Terminal?

 

Terminus? That was OK in my book because it led to the most gruesome episode of violence, vengeance and mayhem in the church.

And I never get tired of this scene, my favorite from the series...

 

I realize quite a few people have bailed on the show and it has absolutely declined, but that was a hell of a WTF moment.

 

Yikers!!!!!

 

Exactly. It wasn't the Red Wedding, but it was damn sure as close as the show can get.

 

I went to high school with one of the guys who got blown up. I think he's the guy behind the long haired biker on the left. He's done some extra and working-actor type roles in small movies, and he was touting this scene on his Facebook page for a while after it aired.

 

I tapped after RIP Glenn - read a recap from tonight and couldn't figure out/remember/care who 92 percent of those people were. Michone and Daryl are still around right? Carol?
Show got a lot less interesting when Lennie James disappeared.

 

I do miss Morgan. I even gave Fear a brief chance after he moved to that show.

The cast of characters has changed quite a bit. The big reveal last night was right out of the comics, though they changed which characters were involved.

 

It just got really hard to care about characters - particularly new characters - when so many died without really contributing anything or moving the narrative along. Is there anyone left from episode 1?

 

i stopped watching at the end of season 8, and I was intrigued enough by the chatter to read a recap of last night's episode. either I have a terrible memory or they really did a reboot, because I didn't know who most of the people were enough to be shocked or care.

 

I guess a new show runner has made a difference this year.
I do also watch FTWD, it has also , imo, been really good lately.
I tend to stick with shows after I have invested my time in them.
