    Terrible decision by The Walking Dead hshowrunner.
    The mid season finale was good, but that character death is disastrous for the history... 4x worse than Andrea.

    I won't spoil it here but goddamn, Im not happy.

      Agreed but regardless.

      His character is basic to the story.

        Overall the season was Trash , not sure if writers changed or what .
        But the entire season was overall a huge dropoff from all the past seasons , no matter those last 30 seconds .
        It was fun but the show just doesn't have the "It" factor anymore .

          They have a couple good shows then they just slow play it. I actually thought this season wasn’t horrible compared to some of the recent shit I saw. I hated shows where they would show 1 character the whole damn hour basically.

            Andrea? She was the worst, her exit was something to rejoice over. Every show loses their magic if it hangs around long enough

                Nope. Chandler Riggs said last night on the talking dead it was exclusively Showrunner's Scott Gimple decision.

                Actor just bought a house in Senoia GA last year which is huge for a kid. Youd think if he wanted out he wouldnt have.

                Of course as a kid who was barely able to be a kid he sees it as glass half full.

                  So what are they going to do? Load him up with explosives and send him into the Saviors like a Trojan horse attack as a sacrifice? Makes sense with the cultural diversity adding the Muslim “traveler” Carl was helping....ISIS will be fans of the next episodes.

                    Shady. The casting of Andrea was awful. Actress was bad and else but the comics top 3 characters are Rick, Carl and Andrea.

                    Rick is supposed to die in the comics and Carl will be the main character.

                    Lots of storylines we wont be able to see. Which sucks.

                    Casting kids for a long run character is almost impossible. You gotta agree Carls best acting was last nite. He went out a hero and seeing him destroyed by fever was just awful.

                    Apparently he was bitten on the episode he saved Siddiq from the walkers... when he landed on top of the deer corpse.

                    The reason why Rick didnt kill Negan 9n comics is because he didnt lose Carl. Negan spares Carl on the comics a lot and their relationship is a high point of the story.

                    During the whisperer story arc Carl has a lot of big moments. Whos gonna take over that?


                    Yep... TWD was ruined by showrunners starting last season with the Glenn fake out dumpster death + the negan killing scene with a disgraceful cliffhanger that pissed everybody. Also... Negans watered down clown version is bad eventho JDM is a great cast... The governor is still the most memorable villain IMO.

                    Im very annoyed. Fukk Gimple.

                      Lol yeah several people annoyed we lost white males just to gain 2 muslims (the chick who saved Ezekiel too).

                      Im not gonna abide this decision ever. This is like killing off Jon Snow on GoT. Idiotic

                        Agreed. They fukked it up and ratings reflect that.

                        How to kill the goose of the golden eggs in 1 season 101 should be written by the showrunners.

                                    Well not that I owe you any explanations but as a person who lost his company and all his material possessions due to destruction and drug addiction... I can tell you getting back my stuff has been a struggle and yeah... I have been paying my debts with immediate family ($400 this paycheck)... also bought a 32'' tv I needed for my computer for work and some gym equipment as staying in shape is basic for staying clean (all in all spent like $1400 this last 10 days on the things mentioned above... and of course foods, gas and bills,

                                    Far from broke spending over 1k a week in Costa Rica... fuk off jagoff

                                      Your probably correct hurry, never had the time to read the graphic novels. Never rly looked at any of the graphic novels for anything like sin city etc.

                                      Casting adolescent characters over the course of puberty is difficult but not impossible. David benioff and company nailed it with game of thrones

                                      I don't get to watch TV much but the walking dead never struck me as a good show, just entertaining.

                                      I rly liked the character of the governor but not the actor and vice versa for neegan

                                        I loved David Morrisey as the Governor, terrific job IMO... but yeah I see how if you never read the comics (which are far more adult, ironically) I can understand how Carl and Andrea dying is just meh...

                                        And yeah GoT has a magnificent casting all around... those guys nailed that show, a little disappointed in season 7 because they shortened it so much it skipped very good book plots... plus I was hoping to see more direwolf action.

                                          the show has sucked since season 3. even the spinoff is more enjoyable. it's probably becuz they have no ending in sight so they just recycle the same plot points every couple of seasons without actually moving the story forward. they never should have got rid of Frank Darabont.

                                            So glad they finally killed Carl off. Every episode I would hope it would happen. Was giving up hope. Great job show runner.

                                              Im not gonna abide this decision ever. This is like killing off Jon Snow on GoT. Idiotic
                                              Exactly right on GOT and I almost forgot about the tubby Muslim that saved Ezekiel. Was wondering why it kept going to her in the crowd.

                                                Social media blown up over this... people calling to boycott the show unless Scott Gimple is fired as it was learned Gimple FIRED Riggs (Carl) just 2-3 weeks after he assured him they were gonna need him for at least 3 more seasons.

                                                This caused Riggs to buy a home at Senoia, GA... LOL... what a fukkin dikkhead Gimple is.

                                                So they got mad because Riggs asked for a raise most likely.

                                                    I hate this show now. Was hooked from day one, and loved it. But it's dragged on FOREVER. It just needs to end. I'll continue to watch because I'm vested in it this long, but it's enough already. Know nothing about the comics, don't follow that storyline, etc. Just a great show that has hung around too long.

                                                          Oddly enough, I wanted Carl gone long ago as well, but he was starting to grow on me and be a decent character. Oh well. Maybe we'll see baby Judith have kids some day, when this show is still running.

                                                            Agreed.

                                                            Ill keep watching, Im too fuckkin invested...

                                                            But Gimple can eat and choke on a bag of dikks... classless fukk


                                                            Carl's real dad posted an aggressive rant yesterday morning against Gimple, explaining how Gimple fired Carl 2 weeks before his 18th bday and assured him 3 weeks prior firing that he needed him for 3 more seasons AT LEAST.

                                                            Which prompted Carl to buy a house in Georgia.

                                                            AMC sucks, Gimple sucks.

                                                                the hilariously bad part is the death itself was garbage given who it was. Killed him off like he was a nobody and clearly desperate for people to talk about the show.

                                                                      I can never forget the nerve wrecking fear I felt playing Resident Evil 1 on PS1 when I was like 11. At 3am, alone. Ever since I've loved shooting survival horror games. But I dont have a console anymore.
