The Walking Dead season 8 thread

Who’s with me??
So excited!!!!!

Negan is just tedious now. He's on repeat and its a very short loop

Maggie has to slowest pregnancy ever hasn't she. She is still pregnant isn't she?

I really enjoyed tonight's

I actually enjoyed tonight's too, more than recent ones. I'd just like Negan to be over.

I quite liked it today too but I am annoyed that Neegan is planning something grim - just piss off Neegan I thought you were trying to save people.

Beep my partner is blind and we have 3 kids so I did briefly do the whole - oh no what would we do in a zombie apocalypse thing. The zombies make a lot of noise, I think he would be ok

Has anyone died from non-biting Walker contamination?

I wonder if sorting out the bullet casing becomes really important to Neegan's plan and Gabriel is able to help it fail? Either through doing something to the casings themselves or through using that time as an opportunity to positively influence Eugene? This would then help to fulfill his belief that he is being guided by God in some way???

Good thought Ikea
I usually watch the Talking Dead as the snippets and interviews can be quite interesting. They’ve really started scraping the bottom of the barrel now too though (hoping picture will upload...)

@beepbeep ha ha ha !! That genuinely made me laugh out loud !!

I've been over Neagan for ages now. We've seen it all so many times now.

Did anyone notice the lack of mud on Rosita's pants after she'd just waded through the swamp?
What's the timeline here? How long since Glenn and Abraham died? Can't be that long?

I find the lack of an obvious timeline so frustrating

How /why is Gabriel blind

An infection. He was ill and they found anti-biotics which helped the fever. But Dr thought eyes might be permanently damnaged.

I think Gabriel's illness is linked to an infection from being covered with zombie guts when he and Negan escaped at the start of last season (half-season). It seems like 2 years ago but was probably only a few days on the show.

Negan's now talking about using zombie parts as a biological weapon against Hilltop, so that links back to Gabriel.

But that makes no sense as Neagan wasn't infected with anything! And a lot of the characters have at some point used the "guts and gore" disguise to escape whilst amongst the zombies and haven't been infected?? Are they suggesting that these particular zombies are different but then makes no sense why Neagan isn't too!! So many plot holes!!

I haven't a bloody clue what's going on this season.

Maggie has to slowest pregnancy ever hasn't she. She is still pregnant isn't she?

She still is - I don't know how much has passed exactly, either but I know I didn't start showing for my first pregnancy until I was at least 5 months gone.

Re: walker infection - I hadn't made a link between beings covered in zombie gore and Gabriel getting infected, but what Negan is talking about is infecting people through wounds. So you could dip an arrow tip in zombie blood, shoot it at someone's foot and there you go - the person is infected even if they don't die straightaway.

I've always wondered why they don't do the zombie camouflage more often (Nick does it all the time on Fear The Walking Dead) but tbf I'd be worried about infection through soft tissue (eg splash in the eyes).

I also wonder why they don't keep using Michonne's trick of cutting off zombie arms and jaws, at least for supply runs...

I obv missed that bit. Thanks

Think the last season is literally over a week or two in real time

They mentioned her in 2nd trimester a while back So Maggie should be 14-16w - guesswork

I could have sworn I saw a baby in a cot in her office. My boyfriend and I assumed it was Maggie's and I came on here to correct your tineline and of course remembered the baby Rick took.

Anyone still watching? I’ve no idea what’s going on or who anyone is.

Glenn died about 20 years ago surely? It feels that long. I have a bigger food belly than Maggie has after the 20 years since he died

Think this was the best episode for ages but why on earth didn't Jadus kill Negan when she had the chance

It finally feels like something happened this week. I was willing Negan to get bit or shot finally; but I guess that would ruin the series finale......

Bargaining chip with Rock maybe?

Or Rick.....although I can see the Rock fitting into this series perfectly....last minute hero turning up at the last minute to save the Hilltop and steal Michionne

Mamma YES, we should start a petition or something
