    Since this finale felt compressed, if they couldn’t give it a 90 minute run, I’d have deleted the Carol subplot when she was hallucinating Alpha. Just old ground being run on for half an episode.

    I got to see an advance online screening of these two episodes, but was on a NDA until today. It was great to get the finale of TWD, but it didn't really feel like a great end of series episode. Had it been aired right after the previous episode it may have felt better. There were a few moments I thought were cool, but we'll just have to wait and see where everything goes.

    The World Beyond was an intro episode and nothing more, but it set up things for future episodes. Intrigued to find out what the end was all about. The timescale seemed a bit suspicious.

    I phrased it wrong. It WAS mean to be the final episode of this series, till the pandemic struck. There's 6 extra episodes to come then one more full series.

    Just realised as well, we call it a series in the UK, whereas you may know it as a season.

    No need to break with tradition. Go ahead and dislike it.

    Just started FTWD, not bad. Just finished S1 and, while a bit slow, more military rather than isolation was interesting.

    They also announced 6 follow-on episodes for his Season/Series, then the final Season/Series comes after that.

    Eh, it was alright. Not worth the hype/wait. I guess we'll have to wait until January for any info on the masked guy / Maggie's bodyguard.

    I didn't and won't be watching the Teen Squad TWD show.

    To be fair to the show, they didn’t mean to make us wait so long for the finale. I’m not sure why they sped through these last two episodes like they did, though. No immediate reaction to Negan killing Alpha from anybody but Daryl, Carol, and Lydia, everybody is just suddenly in the tower. The final fight goes over real quick. It’s just rushed and this finale at the least should’ve been 90 minutes.

    I’ll take Kang’s pacing over Gimple’s any day but she might be going a little too fast. The Hilltop battle only took place in the last five minutes of the episode and the first two minutes of the next despite an episode of build-up. The Whisperer War was more of one brief battle and an escape from Beta and the horde. The comic arc fizzled our way worse than this did, though.

    True, but there were actors hyping it up and saying it would be worth the wait (I remember Norman and possibly JDM).

    After ditching this show after season 8 decided to come back to it since i dedicated so much time to this show. Up to S10 E12....like wtf, who wrote for these dumb fucks of a character that I knew? Acting stupid, doesn't take kill shots when enemies are down, leaves guards down to get infiltrated multiple fucking times. This show needs to end and kill off everyone.
    It's also getting really stupid that rotting flesh and muscle has the same strength as normal adults. They should be able to be thrown around like little kids and the ninja zombies that creeps up on you:rolleyes:

    Seems to me I made the right choice stopping watching this when Negan was introduced.

    “Hilarie Burton Morgan (@HilarieBurton) has joined the cast of #TheWalkingDead in a guest starring role as Negan’s wife Lucille for the bonus episodes of Season 10!”

    Here’s Negan confirmed and JDM’s real life wife will play Lucille

    Shows how far out of the game I am, I thought JDM's wife was Holly Marie Combs.

    Anyone watching World Beyond? I've been watching, but as background noise. Hasn't grabbed me.

    One of the worst fucking zombie show ever! You have 4 soy kids pushing zombies and seems there's only 1 or 2 at a time for them to push away. Even the 2 adults know they need to stab them in the head yet more fucking pushing.

    I'm watching it and enjoying it. I like things with new characters not bogged down with convoluted back-stories. Just wish they'd give more clues about the CRM and what it was they did near the end of the first episode. I have an idea, but it really paints them in a worse light than Fear the Walking Dead does.

    Beyond should be on CW with the teen drama.
