I like that TWD loosely adheres to the plot of the comic, but differs just enough to keep you guessing. Negan's downfall is imminent. I'd even go so far to say that the nice little jail cell Morgan built will be negan's new home for a while. Keep in mind I haven't read the comics at all so I don't know what happens in them, if it has even gotten past the negan arch.
To be honest, I really hope they keep Negan around the same way they did in the comics. Even if he's just locked up, Jeffrey Dean Morgan is pure gold, and I want to see way more of him.
Negan does way too much awesome shit in the comics, I hope's on the show for as long as the comic. It'll suck if he's killed off soon.

Season 3 may be a bit of a grind for you to get through if you didn't dig S2, but it's worth it to be up to speed on everything, and then from Season 4 onward, the show steadily picks up and gets better and better. The latest seasons kick a lot of ass.
They're not gonna kill him off this early.

Negan basically makes this season worth watching.
[QUOTE=Marbalo;51488805]I assume the show has a massive cast of supporting and reappearing characters. One of the things that particularly grabbed my interest in the pilot episode, is the fact that everything is supposed to be either dead or dying. As it went on, they started to introduce more and more characters in this supposedly bleak world, and while the whole prison thing was bearable, I kind of started to lose all interest after they introduced that black Katana wielding woman. It was just too 'eh' for me, and completely contradicted my cravings for a '28 Days Later' inspired show. I dont understand how they'd be able to run 7 whole seasons with a minimalist cast so I can only assume that the the main character just goes from one place to another constantly stumbling upon survivor enclaves that turn out to be some twisted re-imaginations of society run by psychopaths, which really isn't that interesting to me.[/QUOTE] Pretty much incorrect across the board. The show isn't necessarily a masterpiece, but it's entertaining enough. It sounds like you went in with the wrong expectations in the first place, I don't know who told you it was inspired by 28 Days Later but that isn't true. The Walking Dead aren't the zombies. Rick and crew are the Walking Dead.
The problem with TWD is that they usually make strong season starter episodes and awful cliffhangers just to keep you interested in the show and make you go through tons of boring episodes in the middle, Take season 4's cliffhanger "They are fucking with the wrong people" and season 5's first episode for example, not only [sp]They basically did a huge boring buildup with the whole "train tracks lead to Terminus" thing in s4, but after one single episode (which was awesome), the group destroyed Terminus, seriously what the heck?[/sp] and after that i can't even remember the other s5 episodes up until the finale with Morgan. Same thing can be said for this new season, Negan is just TERRIFIC, but he's literally the only one that keeps things interestings, every episode without him so far has been the usual borefest. In the end, i realized that i'm only watching this show to see how it develops, not because i'm really interested in it, the spin off, Fear The Walking Dead in some cases works better than the main show
I have not seen any TWD season except for the last episode of the last one and this one, because my family watches it and I said "why not". Now, I don't know about the thing as a whole, but this one was probably the worst piece of tv series I've ever seen. It feels like they've been building up, but the more they do the more it feels like the payoff is going to be terrible. It also feels like the episode could be 25 minutes long and nothing would be lost, but the writers find ways to stretch them out ad infinitum. I mean it's been almost half a season worth of episodes and the status quo [I]just started[/I] changing a bit, I could've spent the time I used watching Rick get bullied by Negan do more enjoyable things.

The writing is middle school level. Most of the characters are just boring cannon fodders to be killed either by humans or zombies, the drama between characters is worse than a cheap chick flick too and there's tons of filler, sometimes entire episodes of shit that doesn't matter at all.
The show is a lot better when you can binge watch it. Waiting for 1 episode weekly means the show draaaags on, but it's necessary to do so because without setting up certain settings and characters, the show would be even more of a mess than it already is. That said, y'all are crazy if you think the writing for seasons 5+ is anywhere near as bad as the writing for seasons 2 and 3. Mazarra did the best he could with a limited budget, unreal expectations from AMC, and his general incompetence as a director, but his direction changed the overall course of the show in a lot of ways. Most of them bad, sadly.
