I think it is about the Walkers mutated into Runners with superhuman abilities just to make it more interesting.

I am getting bored with series and not far from binning it off.

The whole thing needs a new angle... yawn....

Curious if the shows worth while considering how spoiler heavy AMC is about it. A really odd business practice I might add. I'm about half way though season 7 with the whole Negen Coral plot line when AMC spoiled his death and my interest tanked.

Negan has an interesting fate. I just finished Season 8, episode 16 and that seems to be the end of him. Truthfully, I despise the character of Negan and his rather ugly antics.

The end of the season...

Season 8, Episode 16 WRATH...

More action, and this is the end of the Saviors.

And Morgan crosses over to "Fear The Walking Dead"

I stopped watching way back when the mayor beheaded the old vet outside of the prison. Made me mad. The only character I admired and could identify with.

I think that the people behind the show say "let's take this character on this unique and soul-torturing journey" and then warp everything else in the show to make that work. It's unsettling to the viewer because everything becomes drawn out. Even that explanation (or attempt) doesn't seem to explain my frustrations.

I stick with it because it's my Sunday night shows. That might sound pathetic but with all the utter trash on TV, and all the shows that want to grab your soul and rend it apart, or all the silly-assed and idiotic comedies, My Sundays remain TWD.

Spoiler alert here if like me you have not watched EP 16 season 8...ooooops:D

uh, what?

We didn't reveal Negan's fate, or the fate of the Saviors.

We didn't reveal how or why it happened.

And AMC openly advertised that Morgan Jones was going to cross over to "Fear the Walking Dead." The writers so badly screwed up that spinoff that the show-runners and producers are effectively rebooting the show.

It seems like the show's creators have said "let's play out emotional and psychological traumas and growth of characters for the storyline over the full year (sixteen episodes or longer) and hope that keeps the viewer interested." This is like Daniel Radcliffe's question of JK Rowling (in the extras of "Deathly Hallows 2 or HP8" -- why did she put the secret of the "Harry Potter win" and "defeat of Voldemort" in the minute details of the seventh movie? JK Rowling did that in another of her books "The Silkworm (A Cormoran Strike Novel)" where the clues to the murder mystery are buried deep within the novel.

Now JK Rowling does that in a novel and has screenwriters that made it work in the movies, the The Walking Dead writers just aren't that good and neither are the producers and show-runners. It's frustrating for me as viewer to be forced to work that hard for the climatic effect.

added: I used Rowling as an example to avoid spoiler-ific TWD details.

What!

Oh, yeah... I miss Shane. I wanted to see more of his naked body.

We watched Carl grow up (so to speak). Remember what happened when Judith was born, too.

That was two consequences of a Zombie apocalypse -- 1) no one seems to care who the father is, and 2) killing family members about to turn into zombies.
