Finally I can look at this thread. I lost interest in this show after season 5. I cant even really explain why I just lost interest.
So recently I decided to watch season 6 and I'm so glad I did.
Man I quit at the worst time ever because season 6 and 7 have been freakin awesome in my opinion!
I know people were pissed about the Negan cliffhanger, and I might have been too if I would have had to wait but I thought that whole scene was just amazing.
The season finale of season 6 and the premier of season 7 might have been the most compelling 2 hours of television I've ever seen. My palms were just sweating as Negan walked around taunting everyone.
I thought the Glenn thing was a good twist because they knew that tons of people already were aware that he died there in the comics, so it was a moment where you thought he was safe and then bam!
Negan is amazing. Jeffrey Dean Morgan is just killing it. (hehe see what I did there?)
Anyways, a sleeper episode here or there aside I think the show has been really good again.
The saviors are awesome villains because it's not enough to rob, kill and terrorize these people... They constantly play mind games and make comments. Just like Neegans 'thank you' analogy for Rick. He just cant help himself. Shows that it's not just about surviving, these are genuinely evil people.
Anyways, I've been much less critical of every detail of the show this time around. It's not perfect, but it's still damn entertaining!
I like how they are setting the table for the revolution right now. I think all the players are pretty much present. I dont know who else there is to find, but now it's just a matter of banding together, getting armed and coming up with a plan. I hope they stay on this arc for a while tho!
