So apart from the rinse-spin plot cycle, the low ratings, the inability to kill the villain, the prolonging of the plot, the shiny teeth, the scrubbed-up characters, the dull heroes, the boring zombies, ...what has the walking dead ever given us...!! 
Apart from Lauren Cohan showin' us some skin? 
Don't get me wrong, it was still a really good show a couple seasons back. They have time to get it together. They said over and over this season is going full metal jacket. Hope it's that and not the other "jack."

Walking dead shite:
Where did all the Alexandrians turn up from? They've been through 3 massacres.
Ricks speech. Only Negan has to die and yet there's been so many opportunities. So many.
Red licourice and sunglasses - kooky lesbian. It's who she is now.
Shut up King Fool.
The world is our? We earned it! - what?
Did one eye park up then walk miles away out of view of his car?
He drives off a stranger? Could have been a spy? What? Either kill him or take him in.
So all the look outs have no form of communication between themselves? Then what use are they? They'd just drive back to town? Beep a horn? Which would make no sense.
Another chat - with priest about just needing to kill Negan. Thanks for mentioning that. Hadn't realised.
Tender kiss with Mishonne who is now a wimp.
Some look out is killed in a tree and falls out. Looked bad and clumsy.
He stabbed the guy just enough he can give a speech.
Corrugated iron or thin wood would not stop a bullet but you can hide behind.
Really bad dialogue as they go through the goodies camp as they pair off and chat
The King speechifying is just embarrassing. In life you'd just call him out as mentally ill.
How did they lure all the zombies? Unnecessarily held on shot.
Awful dialogue again. "I want some bang bang"
Wait they drive an entire convoy up to the door? So easily? Then bunch up?
Aren't bullets valuable?
Just shoot Negan and the others now they're stood out of cover in front of you. Kill him instantly.
Rick as Rip Van Hipster loving it up. Stop wasting fucking time. And Mishone is pathetic again. Im sick of Rick crying.
Why aren't they killing him? Why is Negan allowed to speak.
Give the offer but just shoot Negan anyway. They let him go back inside?
Who cares what Xander Berkley says. He's the only one not fighting for the goodies at hilltop. So who cares? Just don't let Xander back in. It's not an issue.
Why is this going on so long? FFS. A ten count? How do you miss? With an MP5 at that distance for a supposedly good shot?
And he runs down the steps. They shot no one on the walkway? How is that possible?
They blow up 3 cars? That's hardly dent a in an army
And why shoot all the glass? Why the windows? They made a point of showing that but nobody firing back? Also does this complex only have one small courtyard much like the prison?
How long would it take those zombies to walk there? An hour? But they're right there behind a speeding motorbike.
Big gunfight with no deaths. Negan apparently hiding in plain sight all the time.
Priest you deserve to die. But zombies are ignoring him? What the fuck?
Structurally it's awful. No momentum. It's just all cut up. And they just ride back assuming the zombies will kill everyone?
A token Muslim introduced? Why not a Sikh? Because current real world politics.
Rick - "this is not about me?" Is this the new "ricks a good man?
11 people with machine guns can't hit a man behind a car?
Negan should be annoyed not laughing.
Jesus the speech is still going. "We've already won" What? Just what the fuck?
No one concerned about the Yoda talking trash dwellers?
It's garbage. After two awful years (which I just dipped in and out of as they were so bad). Still. The writing is so bad they'll be hired for an Alien sequel. Get rid of the showrunners and give yourself a chance.

Thorough blow-by-blow assessment wanderer.
Probly more than the episode deserves but cant disagree with any of it.

But the fact is that Negan turns them down and they don't immediately shoot him anyway makes no sense. Then they could say to the leftenants, you fellas are free to do whatever you want we have no problem with you. Basically the second they don't jump on board and accept the offer Rick gives them then it should have been bang yer all dead, or at least Negan. All the goodies ever talk about is killing Negan.
The fact that 30 armed people can't hit any if five people on a walkway is just ridiculous. What were they aiming their guns at? The windows? It's another head scratching moment among many.
(All the notes I wrote in my previous post were as the show progressed, my mate wanted to know what I thought but it was too late to message them, so I kept the notes as my memory is really bad)

Erm... I found ep2 a bit irritating.
Ok, they are attacking various Saviours strongholds, i get that, but its all a bit messy and confusing.
And it seems to me they are lacking a few grenades, or at least some home-made molotovs.
Also ive never seen so many people let off heavy machine gun rounds and at people cowering behind thin car panels and yet barely hit anyone.
Then we have Jesus getting all "new age concious" cant shoot this prisoner, who then turns out to be a completely lying scumbag who nearly kills him and terra. Then 30 sec outside they get more prisoners and he hasnt learned his lesson.
The only good bit was stick man who completely turns into dirty harry and marches down the corridor and wipes out about 20 saviours on his own.
Id like stick man to visit the scriptwriters!

I record this so I can cut out the adverts, but after reading what everybody said about ep.1, I zipped through it in five minutes, I think I'll be doing that with ep.2 & maybe stop recording (& maybe look at season 1 again, it was the best one). The actual walking dead are now just background players, extras. I'm glad to see that despite no dentists & the cast repeatingly punching each other in the mouth, that they still have perfect Hollywood teeth.
...& I agree with everyone else, Negan & his nasty number one were out in the open for ages with Negan spouting off as usual, Rick & his bunch were armed to the teeth, all they had to do was shoot 'em, & no more war, the followers would have just disbanded, so why didn't they? It wasn't in the script.

It got very Naked Gun. Also not knowing where they're attacking or the plan doesn't help the viewer. They're also rehashing again the whole killing people is sometimes wrong thing. Here's the notes I wrote to my mate as the episode chugged along.
Start is not moody it's just time wasting. It's not even stylish. Music is ok though.
Baddies camp. Everyone jn that courtyard should be dead or dying.
They've featured the gay husband for pretty much the first time. So he'll be dead.
Satellite place. Where did this come from? The previous place they were at seasons ago? We don't know the plans or the scale of the job.
Cement place. That ended without anything thrilling happening. King uses 25 words when 5 will do.
Bullets leave no marks on cars. Budgetry of course
You can't draw and fire an arrow twice that quickly to kill the two people
Weak whistle to people literally right behind her which was comical.
Woman baddie has run full width of courtyard twice.
Bullet hits now registering on car. Good stuff.
This is a naked gun style gunfight. None of the geography makes real sense, people are stood out in the open. Shouldn't the dead be zombying yet?
Is that a fake Maggie? Is she hear for a fake out later? Or just featured extra?
Hilariously the scared gunmen with Kung Fu Panda Morgan stop firing despite obviously seeing a half dozen people.
Baddie has Jesus and explains stuff. That went wrong quick. What did they think the one person would do when Megan set this plan up? Also if they knew to fake imprison a person shouldn't everyone else have been ready? This makes no sense.
Doesn't everyone in the corridor see this? They're ten feet away. The door was open but then was closed cos they needed just the three people in the room.
Why all this talking just kill him. Just kill him anyway. People are rising as zombies but it's not effecting anything apparently.
Are these tables made from titanium? How has this shoutout dragged on so much?
Urgency and pacing all killed with talk-filled stroll with the King. Awful dialogue. Just a terrible non-character who's just a gimmick.
They're chasing this guy so he won't tell anyone about the group? But there's fights going on in two other places already, soooo.....?
Cheap jump scare. Guy must have been in plain sight in an open room.
Morgan is now a terminator. Coooooool if you're ten. So what was the problem?
Dull morality stuff between girl and Jesus. Been done before.
Morgan now unhinged? Again? It's that easy? Oh Christ. This has been done before too.
Hahaha he killed the baby's dad. No guns. Rick cries.
"Save your munitions Carol". Spare me.
Fake Maggie shot. Supposed to care? I don't know who she is and somehow got herself shot due to incompetence.
How is this fight still going on? How've they fucked it up so badly? Gay husband shot. Unexpected.
Who is this guy who knows Rick? Morales? At least give us a flashback. Am I supposed to care? Be shocked? It's hard to recall even regular cast members. It's a nothing.
Rick once again utterly defeated. Useless. Fucking useless.
Ah the face montage again. Was Jesus supposed to be walking? He looked like he was walking on the spot. This is just time-wasting shit. Nice music.

"....THE WALKING DEAD---Season 8's latest episode had 8.9 million viewers which is the lowest audience since a Season 2 episode which had 12.4 million viewers..."
i think it might be written by the walking dead.

I'll probably give it one more episode (mostly I watch it as my friend watches it). It just seems easier and more jnteresting to write it better. Hey, where was Rick supposed to be? I couldn't figure it out.
