I gave it about 20 minutes.................which is 20 more than I should have.

This show has basically played out. The Princess episode was boring. The guys in the white stormtrooper outfits from Star Wars was a silly. I even have trouble maintaining any interest in Daryl and Carol. All that moping around is wearing thin. I still watch it but not with any enthusiasm.

I'm losing interest episode by episode; I DVR'd the latest episode, haven't bothered watching it yet, not sure if I will or not.
I've lost track of the characters and their names, I barely know one from the other; when one of them died in the past, it was an event/game changer, now it's like Meh, whatever..............the only character I like is Negan, the rest I really don't care about.
It's funny even saying that considering the way he started out, but it's true IMO.
Have to agree with you all. This show has gone off the rails, played itself out, worn out it's welcome, whatever. Last episode had me checking my watch 5 minutes in, a bad sign for a show I used to look forward to. Now I just want it to be over so I can switch over to Condor on Epix. TWD played itself out when Rick said adios. Now, only Negan holds any interest as I have grown tired of the constant angst that Darryl and Carol seem to be wedded to. The whole thing has just gotten old. -- Al
Yep. Last night's episode was agony. Actually couldn't see the reason for it as nothing happened nor was there any advance in the plot. Waste of time and effort. At least the sneak preview of next week's finale had some promise as it seemed centered on Negan and his back story. -- Al
Found this Negan episode worth while and actually interesting. Good backstory stuff but I found myself wondering why it took so long to do Negan's background. Didn't take so long a time to do The Governor's backstory. Guess the writers weren't served by eliciting possible sympathy for someone they needed to be so bad. At any rate, Negan remains the most interesting of the remaining characters. -- Al

Yes, I agree that Negan is about the only compelling character left on the show, but that scene with him crying at the discovery of his dead zombie wife while they played "You Are So Beautiful" was laugh out loud bad. Like something from Ed Wood. I almost couldn't believe that was happening. It does disturb me a bit that they are making Negan out as a charming misunderstood hero who just happened to beat some folks to death with a baseball bat. I'm sure every guy on death row has a sob story about something bad that happened to them, but that doesn't mean they are sympathetic. I keep imagine the woke types watching this and coming to the conclusion that someone who commits heinous crimes can be redeemed with a little understanding.
LoL. Negan, the proverbial misunderstood hero with a heart of gold. Right. That dog don't hunt. Maybe things will get back to normal if Negan has to (or wants to), kill Maggie next season. Now that would be a twist to be proud of. Can't stand Maggie anyway. {sm3} -- Al

I thought Fear the Walking Dead had a strong season until that season finale. Then things went off the rails. It went out more like "Z Nation" (which was a fun show) than what came before.
SPOILER: the ending was laugh out loud bad when Morgan was getting ready to blow his brains out inside a beached nuclear sub and he somehow hears a baby crying outside. The baby is being carried by its zombie mom who is leashed to a dog. Morgan grabs the baby just before a nuke hits and manages to survive by jumping under a nearby tanker truck. You can't make that up. I also learned you can survive a nuclear blast by jumping in your storm cellar at the last moment. All that will happen is that things will fall off the shelf.

Walter White is the main character in a cable series called 'Breaking Bad', which ran for 5 seasons (2008-2013) and had 62 episodes. It is about a high school chemistry teacher who is diagnosed with terminal cancer and the ensuing journey he follows to secure a future for his family by turning his chemistry knowledge toward the dark side and becoming a huge drug czar cooking a highly pure form of meth. It is a tremendously entertaining, if very dark, series. The reference to Walter White is because the leader of the Reapers, Pope, is played by Richie Coster, who seems to be channeling WW in terms of his physical looks. Maybe it's just me, but I found the resemblance uncanny. -- Al

You should take the time if possible. It is character development at its finest over the course of the whole series.
