The Walking Dead, Am I Alone?

All hell breaks loose! About time!

Sasha is gone. It was done as "nicely" as a fan could want. Her dream visit with Abraham was a lot of things, glad the writers included that.

I always liked Sasha, I think that Sonequa Martin-Green's own personality lent the character Sasha some genuineness and depth. Sonequa Martin-Green was on the Talking Dead, and her fellow cast members love her too. Michael Cudlitz(Abraham) showed up with a big bouquet for Sonequa.

But Sasha did not die in vain, as she will resurrect as a Lt. Commander in charge of the Discovery, and new Star Trek series.


Negan is still alive, but then we have something to look forward to in Season 8.
 

I broke down and watched this finale following a walking dead marathon yesterday. I had a feeling something significant was going to happen to Sasha. All those meaningful flashbacks.

I begin to wonder if Rick is such a great leader. He just seems to get everyone in trouble with poor decision making. Sasha saved everyone's _ _ _ _. So did the tiger.

Eugene is irredeemable IMO.
 
I had known some months, from the spoilers, Sasha was going to die, but, boy, did she go out in a way I wasn't expecting, what a gal, a warrior to the end. I too enjoyed the flashbacks with her and Abe; the writers did her justice. It was nice to see Abraham as well.

Sadly, Eugene was true to who I had thought he was, even worse so in this episode, stomach turning really. But, I really shouldn't be upset, he can't help himself. I'm sure we expected the Garbage people to be nothing more than garbage, you could just sense they were going to turn on Rick's people from the start of the episode. And go Sheba, she did good along with the Kingdom folks and all the others who joined in to kick butt. I was really hoping maybe, just possibly, Negan would meet his maker, though I knew it wasn't likely, but it didn't hurt to hope for a miracle.

It was a good finale, not one where I was left feeling shocked and disappointed as so often before; this time it went out on a high note. Looking forward to season 8.

I liked it too April. I thought the way Sasha saved Alexandria was creative and I was not expecting that at all. It's also good to see Carol back in the fight. I missed her. A lot of the terrible things that happened might not have happened if she had been a more active character this past season.
 
Sasha was a true warrior sacrificing herself for the good of the others. Too bad she wasn't able to get a good bite out of Negan.
 
I was sure hoping that either Sasha or Sheba got Negan. Rats. I was also hoping that Eugene had a little humanity hidden away and had something up his sleeve. Also rats.

Having been away from home for the past four weeks, I had all the episodes that I missed recorded. I binge-watched them yesterday just in time for the finale.

I'm still disappointed with this season. Hopes abound for next season.
 
When Sasha was asking Eugene through the door for anything she could use to cut you knew she was prepared to and would die trying-to kill Negan.

Anytime an epi or scene has a lot of things like reflection or gratitude you know someone or the character is going to die. Sometimes they amp up the bravery or smart level of a regular character, let em go out in style thing.

The trash-ee lady just shows there will always be a threat out there. They had to work too hard to make the deal to begin with. There didn't seem to be a connection, angnst or fear when they made the deal with her which means she was focusing on other plans.

I'm not a fan of the musical montage and dream scenes. That is wasted time they could be telling actual story.

LOL when Negan mentioned they had that was a tiger.
 
One of my favorite scenes was Negan riding away giving the finger; he was hilarious in the finale. I don't like the guy, but, he had me cracking up with many of his responses. I'm very much looking forward to his demise.
 
I'm still wondering what went wrong with the detonation of the wall Rosita wired. I saw an encore presentation of the season finale but still couldn't catch it. Making a deal with the scavengers (the garbage people) was not smart. The Hilltop should've been there like the kingdom eventually was. It's going to be hard to kill off the saviors without better organization than they've got.
 
Thank you for sharing those memes, I needed that, feels like war going on all around. Oct can't get here soon enough, I so miss this show about right now, I could use the escape.
 
I was so disgusted when Negan killed Glen that I had decided I wasn't going to watch it any more. Glen was my favorite character. In fact I was so mad that I was fantasizing about looking up the actor that plays Negan, Jeffery Dean Morgan, and paying him a visit. I wanted to shove that barb wire wrapped baseball of of his up his butt.

But now, I gotta admit, after watching season seven on netflix I am enjoying it more than ever and Negan has become my new favorite character. That Dude is funny!

Yeah, me too. But, I still want to see Maggie smash Negan's skull as flat as a spring roll wrapper.

I can't even stand to see the actor who plays Negan. He was presenting on the Emmys and I went to do something else. I can't stand to look at him.

Sometimes playing a particularly vile villain ruins an actor's career because no one can see him in any other role. Being typecast isn't an altogether bad thing, but it puts a real crimp on ever breaking out in another type of role.

Was that you he's talking about?

 
Looking back to the season finale when Sasha died, it was a sad scene. Too bad, Eugene should have taken Eugene's suicide pill

Rejoice! Sasha lives! Lives on, as Michael Burnham, the first officer of the USS Discovery, in the new Star Trek series- Star Trek: Discovery.

I don't know if she got a raise in pay, but she at least got a promotion, being the lead character.

Had she stayed with TWD she would have had to kill Rick and take over and...O.K., maybe that's a bit far-fetched. :uncomfortableness:
 
I'm still on season one, trying to like it. I left it for awhile, went on a British Binge but I may go back and give it another go.

My daughter keeps telling me to watch it....she keeps saying, "Mom, it's just not about zombies but survival, etc.".
 
I must say I really enjoyed the earlier seasons(1-5) the most. That said, I was a latecomer, being pulled into the show by the AMC marathon leading into Season 6. That also sparked my interest to 'binge' season 1-5 so as to absorb all the detail that really "makes" a story. Hence, my subscription to Netflix. ;)

IMO, Season 7 was designed to steer the series in a new, potentially more creatively rich direction. We'll see where that goes, in October.

Edit: spell-checker didn't recognize my mis-spelling of binge...ignorant spell-checker! ;)

That's how I feel. At the end of every season I tell myself that I am done with the series but come this time of year I get sucked back in. I admit that I enjoyed the earlier seasons more mainly because the walking dead referred more to the zombies instead of the humans.

I agree with her. I don't care much at all for Zombie stuff, but I like the Walking Dead.

The only other Zombie show I liked was the 2004 remake of the movie "Dawn of the Dead".

Mainly because it had Ving Rhames in it and he's a cool dude.
