It took almost the full hour to do a simple prisoner exchange. I can't even bring myself to get started on the moronic movie theater side quest. The story didn't progress at all with this episode, and this now seems to be the norm.
shareNot to mention the incessant, overly loud commercials every 2 minutes. it is getting harder for me to stay engaged when they constantly interrupt with non-stop ads, not to mention they have so far wasted Samantha Morton's talent by under utilizing her. They would rather show nonsense stories like the hunt for the projector bulb than give us some actual meat and potatoes in the storyline. Very, very frustrating to watch.
shareTook me hours to get through this episode, I kept pausing from sheer boredom.
sharei watch it on DVR and fast forward through the dull parts. Takes way less time.
shareI thought I was the only one.
shareI feel like TWD has always had filler episodes, but this season is a new level of snorefest.
shareYeah, it's unfortunate the writers are terrified of catching up with the comics. I don't know if it was on here or somewhere else I read, but I agree with the person who originally posted it, Episode 9/10 all the events in relation to Lydia could have all taken place in one episode. So, Lydia gets captured, instead of revealing who she is to Daryl, she speaks to Henry, we get the flashbacks of Alpha then in the end Alpha arrives outside.
TWD writers do an impressive job of consistently filling episodes with 40 minutes of nothing really happening until the last 2 minutes, where there is 2% of story progression that leads into the next episode with 40 minutes of nothing happening.
Damn, this is a show about a zombie apocalypse and instead of being on the edge of my seat every week, getting hyped for the next episode, I'm bored and looking at my phone.

Buddy, this is why I quit the show. The first interaction with Negan could have wrapped up in 10 minutes, instead we get a drawn-out chase scene, then a cliffhanger, then another whole episode.
The previous showrunner would have made the Ezekiel scenes a bottle episode.
shareDefinitely. Angela Kang is a step up from Gimple, but I'm afraid the show is dipping back to the usual formula of something significant only happening every 8 episodes. They wrote Rick out in episode 5, due to Lincoln wanting to leave, if that wasn't the case this season would have been as uneventful as previous seasons.
