it looks as if they are setting him up to be the end of season casualty - although there are a couple of other people that are looking as if they are in trouble - Sasha and Rosita. At least one of these has to be a gonner.

An ok episode, progressed things a bit and their was a decent but simple (maybe too simple!) narrative behind it.
Still no denying though that their is far too many characters and groups/locations to make this season as tense as others and watching it as a binge watch would be 10 times better I imagine than week on week viewing and the fact is there is only 3 episodes left this season, next episode seems to be all located

at the Hilltop

so that means the last two episodes would have to be seriously fast paced to give us ssome sort of payoff. Otherwise, we are back to the same cr*p, irritating anti climatic ending that we had at the end of Season 6.




Compare this to two other "Morgan" episodes though........."Clear" and "Here's not Here" and there is a distinct drop in quality and performance.

I can't understand why no one even made an attempt to stop him!

Overall I really enjoyed this episode but some of the Kingdom scenes really grated on me. Gerry and the cobbler and pissy pants and the tiger. If they had less of that sh1te I think tolerating King Ezekiel would be a lot easier.

I really enjoyed Morgans change of heart and how they showed it.. particularly calling Benjamin Dwayne by accident and the scene where he's sharpening his stick. Lenny James is such a great actor.

Richard was one of my favourite of the new characters so while I was sad it was a very memorable way to go.

The guy in charge of the Saviours group that deal with the Kingdom seems to be a bit of a soft touch compared to the others we've seen. I think whoever plays his role did a really good job.

Jaysis, I haven't seen it yet but it seems like Morgan

went "Full Shane" on Richard!!

grames_bond

I loved Richards Death and how Morgan repeated what Richard said to him to the savors (about knowing the score, and playing by the saviors rules) - and then obeying Richard's wishes about where to be buried, as if they made a plan off screen. really good story telling!

Really enjoyed this episode, save for a few moments - "you want to be like your brother"..."he is too young to be a father".....yup that guy is gonna die!

At least we are finally seeing some actual progression!

So I guess we're back to crazy-AF Season 3 Morgan?

I actually felt sorry for Richard. His methodology was pretty flawed, but his heart was definitely in the right place. As mentioned above, I don't know why nobody tried to stop Morgan doing what he did. It was quite prolonged - they had plenty of time to pull him off him, and at that stage nobody know WHY Morgan was attacking him. As an aside, I wonder will someone discover the cache of weapons Richard had hidden in the woods?.....

Gavin has moments when he seems like he could be quite a reasonable guy, and then he pulls a stone-cold stunt like telling them dispassionately to come back the next day with just ONE cantaloupe, while Benjamin was bleeding out on the ground in front of them.

Not the worst episode - beats the junkyard gang any day. I can't stand that arc. UpUpUp!! Me hole.

Not a bad episode, but as has become common place it wasn't great either. There have been far too many good but not great episodes this season.

The obvious major issue with this episode. Why did nobody even try to stop Morgan? It's beyond ridiculous that they would say/do nothing while Morgan chokes Richard to death slowly.

I thought that was best episode in a few weeks especially how Morgan basically implemented Richards trust by telling them richards plan , Guess they'll trust them now looking forward to next weeks

Chip Whitley

When Morgan was choking out Richard, the Saviours should have drawn their guns on the other Kingdom lads, as if to say 'let's see how this pans out'. Then at least we'd have a reason for nobody trying to stop Morgan. Good episode overall though. Glad Carol is back in the game.

Another boring episode. They could fit last weeks story and this weeks into one episode. The same can be said for a lot of episodes. It's not like they are short on source material.

Morgan is enraged and Carol has re-awoken! There's a gonna be a whoopin and a hollerin soon enough!

shockingly poor episode.

completely unbelieveable that eveyrbody allowed morgan to kill richard like that esp given richards service to the kingdom.
total sh1te of an episode.

only positive for me (as said earlier) the head saviour who deals with kingdom is protrayed excellently by the actor...really plays that weary battle fatigue very well and they are setting up some unpleasant times for the long haired saviour dickhead (dunno if we know his name)

The reason nobody moved to help Richard is because :
A) the Kingdom Guys are soft chaps, and Morgan would have easily destroyed them,
would any of you guys ran in to stop a guy that is clearly as insane as him??

The Kingdom guys have only seen and know of Morgan's over placid sanity. So unless they watched the episode CLEAR, they would have no reason to anticipate he has these underlying issues. It made no sense why they didn't challenge him. This is a guy who merely joined them a couple of weeks back at most killing a longstanding member of their community for apparently no reason other than he is apologising for an error in their delivery?

This kind of thinking on the part of the writers went out the window a long time ago imo. You can't exactly worry about character motivations like that when you're trying to wring every last drop out of the series.

I'm now fastforwarding whole scenes that are obviously padding. The one in this episode where Richard confesses to Morgan he caused the conflict was just shocking. He said the same thing 3 different ways I think.

Did well to make it to Season 7, but I'm out now.

DoozerT6

Anyone else noticed how sluggish the weekly episode threads here have been this season? Only 2 pages so far. We'll be lucky to make 4 pages, I think.

Are people just not as interested this season? Personally I'm not, although I hate to admit it here. I've gone from hopping around like a cat on a hot tin roof waiting for each new episode, to having to really remind myself to switch over to Fox at 9pm every Monday the past few weeks. This season just isn't doing it for me. The OTT-ness of the Kingdom ("your Highness") and the Mad Max Scavengers are testing my interest in the show.

Is it just me?

It's not even that, it's the fact that they do absolutely fúckin nothing with these characters. So much potential but terrible writing just drags the arse outta the show now.

Better than the last couple of episodes I thought. Benjamin was always going to die though, been telegraphed for weeks now.

Pace is still sooooo slooooow though. It seems like the shows creators refuse to learn from the widespread criticism.

Hombre Lobo

Thought it was one of the better episodes this season, not that that is saying much considering the low standard set.
Apart from some terrible dialogue at the beginning and the lack of intervention from the Kingdom when Morgan goes loco, I found myself interested in the episode compared to previous ones.

I don't follow the comics but I think there needs to be a large culling of characters for the end of the season to bring the show back to something that I enjoyed watching. There's just too many characters now that I don't really care what happens to most of them anymore. I'm actually wishing some of them dead at times because of the stupidity behind their character development. (e.g - Carl going after Negan despite all that happened, Rosita stropping about). Personally this has been the worst season yet for me.

I'm expecting the finale to end on another cliffhanger as that seems to be their style the last while. I think for Season 8 I will wait it out until most episodes have aired before watching it. I found myself tuning out far too much watching this season and skipping forward in some scenes as they added nothing.
I suppose for a show running this long it was bound to happen as it has been one of my favourite series. The writing has just gotten so dumb the last two seasons or so that it's hard to take seriously any more (even in a world of zombies).

I thought someone, presumed the saviour main guy, shouted 'leave them' when Morgan started attacking Richard... Or maybe I imagined it cos otherwise not intervening makes no sense!

So Morgan basically is going off to kill walkers one by one again - is there any chance he meant kill saviours one by one?

Yeah, you could see them moving in slightly just after he clattered him first before the Saviours upped their arms and told them to "Leave them be"

I won't link anything on here for fear of mods........but eh, the scene is, available, if you want to watch it again....

TWD is really falling into a bad habit of saving everything good for season/mid-season premieres/finales.

16 episodes a season, you get 4 really good ones, 2 good ones, and the others are just padding and stretching everything out. Creating needless obstacles to resolve them in a way which doesn't even really affect anything.

Really struggling to care about a lot of it now.

The biggest issue is that there's far too many characters, with so many of them being utterly undefined secondary characters. You're supposed to feel an affinity for these, but I just really could care less about most of them.

This episode was a slight improvement, but still not that great. Good to see Morgan back to being crazy, but because I think that Lennie James, who is a completely underrated actor, is utterly fantastic.

I think the biggest issue is the slow pace of the show and nothing much happening, It's all just one big build up to the season or mid-season ending.
This week's episode was an improvement on last weeks but not by much

Honestly, that's been Walking Dead's MO for quite a while now.

Really???

Two MAJOR characters' outlook has completely changed and Ezekial et al are now joining forces with The Alexandrians to fight Negan.


So, not really pointless.

I nearly fell asleep during this episode of The Snoring Dead. Not even Shakepeare spent as long getting his characters to get to the point where they did something. It's gone on too long. Let's have a blood bath at the end of the season, and leave it at that.

Yeah. Really pointless - in the over all context.

After all that's happened it took until the 13th episode to for Morgan to 'click' - even though he killed at the end of the last season!

And Carol's outlook and just gone back to the way it was when she found out what happened at Alexandria which is what you'd expect. Why did it take a whole episode (more in the context of the season) to get to her here. Stupid.

I still don't see how you can say those 3 aspects are pointless.........obviously going to have an impact going forward. Yes the structure of the episode can be rightfully criticised and yes you can argue that they could have paced it better but the point about it being pointless is harsh.

Morgan has reverted to crazy Morgan by the look of things and Carol has reverted to fighter Carol so they are two big character developments. I anticipate (and this is not a spoiler but I will put tags on just to prevent anyone moaning)

one of them is being set up to be killed.

The Kingdom have decided to join forces and fight. Another plot development. They are hardly things you can expect to happen offscreen or just hastily. There had to be some sort of reason for such to occur.

But, yes, the episode structure is clearly not viewer friendly when there are so many bloody characters, groups and locations and it all seems very fillery in leading up to this big war.

I think what makes it more viewer-unfriendly is the above, combined with a habit of concentrating on only one group/location per episode. If it wasn't for that, I don't think number of characters and locations would matter so much.

If they tried to divide a 40 minute episode between all the groups or even a few groups, the episodes would be far too clustered and would go nowhere! I am not saying the alternative (ie individual group episodes) are therefore justified in any way but I think its very hard to develop all these new characters that have emerged this season while giving weight to established characters and creating good drama/tension. I think this season needed at least 3 or 4 extra episodes for it to work a bit better.
This season has been like a "filler season"! 16 episodes building up to one big event which may not even bloody happen until next season, given the way the show has ended previous seasons.

The saving grace fr me this season has been the character of Dwight. He is a great character.
Look at Fr. Gabriel, was starting to emerge as an interesting character last season yet has had a handful of scenes this year.

I can't wait to see Turbo Carol again. She's been hiding away for far too long. Lennie James was fantastic as usual (I also loved him in Jericho). Rosita, however, is getting on my last nerve. I understand that she's grieving but her rashness and impatience is probably going to fcuk things up now.

If you're interested, check out Run on Netflix. It's an excellent turn by him.
