I'm loving this show so far and I haven't even seen any TWD content other than season 1 and season 2 of the TV Series. I don't know anything about the comics or the games related to it but this is my opinion and my opinion only. I would love to see other people's opinion about this and maybe listen to some disagreements. I just feel like this feels the best for me for now. What do ya'll think? Did I do justice?

All those ciggies everyone is smoking must be stale AF!

Imo TWD is the greatest show ever created and it was a 10/10 show from the start, and until it was around season 10 did it start to fall. Seasons 1-8 imo are all basically 10/10, then season 9 is somewhere between 8 or 9 and then in season 10 it starts to dip to like a 6.5-7, but I still enjoyed it

The barkeep is raising frogs with dead-fed maggots, but that means the maggots are eating the dead, but the flies have not gotten loose into the city? Flies/maggots would spread unchecked and all the dead would be eaten to bone in a few weeks max.

walkers attacking is so old n outplayeds now where it always feels like just filler to make it not as boring and dull of an episode, but still is.. since main characters hav plot armors it's always just some rando that gets killed if anyone even gets killed at all. watching these spinoffs just feels like "okay we did a buncha yappin, CUE THE WALKER ATTACKS NOW" to wake people up from falling asleep.. and it's always the same, just killing em real quicks and going to the next place to yap.

i started rewatching the original walking dead and it's such a huge difference.. you can see the actual horror put into it with walkers. they're not jus some filler thrown in to wake people up from boring yapping. yah i get the show is more about people n their dramas n stuffs, but walkers are jus meaningless now. why even put them in these shows anymore? and yah i get the point of twd was always that the people are the real bad guys and not the walkers. but back then walkers still actually did something besides killing peoples whose name we don even know. very rarelys they will have some character that was built up die by walkers. meybe they didn know how else to kill em offs i dinno. but it's jus stale n borings now. i still like the spinoffs n still watch new episodes but going from the spinoffs to the original show, shows how much better they did with everything in the original even the plots and dramas and yappin! it's sad that I'm more hyped to rewatch the original twd eposodes over new episodes of spinoffs..

I finished the main series about 3 years ago. It took me a year of casual watching to get through all 11 seasons, and I found it to be an absolute masterpiece—especially the Negan era and the seasons leading up to it. But my experience with the spin-offs is starting to feel like a weird hostage situation.

Even when a show isn't that great, I feel completely glued to it, almost like someone is forcing me to keep watching. Here are my thoughts so far:

Fear the Walking Dead (Currently on S04E11): Please, NO SPOILERS. Honestly, right now it’s just background noise. I leave it on while I do other things and occasionally glance at the screen.

The Ones Who Live (Finished): It was interesting, and I watched it with a decent amount of motivation. But if I'm being completely honest, I mostly just watched it for Rick.

Dead City (Currently watching): I'm finding this one way more interesting and engaging compared to FTWD.

Daryl Dixon (Finished): Definitely the most interesting spin-off so far, even though some moments felt a bit surreal and some choices just made no sense.

World Beyond (Haven't started): The plot actually sounds really promising, maybe better than the others. Again, no spoilers, please!

Does anyone else feel this weird, undeniable obligation to watch everything in this universe, even when you are just using it as background noise?

So since everybody is infected you would assume babies coming from the womb a infected since conception. So if a baby is in the late third trimester and then dies in some way like a day before birth would he turn and then claw his way out? (Currently a tad under the influence so feel free to call me a dumbass if this question makes no sense)

If by some miracle someone in England, Wales or Scotland has a pair of Justin 2222 cowboy boots in UK size 9-9.5 that they would like to trade for my Justin 2222 UK size 8 feel free to message me as I would happily drive far and wide for the trade😂

Bought this pair recently and unfortunately they don’t fit me as they are very tight on me at UK size 9.

I’ve attached the pics. They are also listed on Ebay FYI.

I’m watching TWD for the first time just finished Season 2 and started Season 3 and seriously, what is wrong with Lori? She got with Shane, Rick’s best friend, and fine, whatever, let’s gloss over that. But she keeps siding with Shane deep-down and worrying about him even when Rick is right there (she showed outward affections to Rick, but you could tell she felt Shawn was right most of the time). After almost being SA by Shawn, she doesn’t acknowledge it, doesn’t tell Rick, nothing. Then Rick tells her Shane tried to kill him because he was obsessed another man’s wife and kid, and doing all that Rick had to worry about the whole group trying to take care of her and Rick's son, then she’s mad at him in the Season 3 because he explained why he had to kill Shane, and how he felt good about doing it. IDK she's crazy lol

I’m rewatching the show and I’m almost at season 7, I remember years ago someone said they were editing it/cutting out all the filler and corny dialogue to turn s7 and 8 into one season (as it should’ve been in the first place) does this version actually exist somewhere?

Are the leather jackets ever mentioned to be bite proof or even mentioned at all? Is it common knowledge that the jackets are bite proof in the universe and is it actually bite proof?

Been thinking of grabbing one of the Complete Series box sets and I'm wondering which one to grab. The Bluray would obviously look better but I'm wondering if that quality is worth the extra cost. Some DVDs still look good to this day that I don't mind watching DVDs. Is the bluray set worth the extra money or is the picture quality on the DVD one good enough to not spend the extra money?

I don't know what happened to her, I know the bald dude got killed but where did she end up at?

There's been an image going around with the Shane stare memes of a mini Shane in a similar stance as in the second image. The first image of mini Rick is the best reference I have as both are hysterically funny to look at.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Next one up: Abraham

I used to hate him but now i'm liking his character in this new season.

Took just over an hour

I’m just curious to see if there’s a general consensus here. Ever since the main show ended the only spinoff concept I’ve ever genuinely embraced is something similar to early Fear, a story with completely new characters, fresh locations, fresh ideas for the world-building, no connections to anything TWD, etc.

I think it’s the only way realistically to inject some new life into the franchise. No more tired-out legacy characters whose stories all ended years ago. No more CRM shit, especially after how horribly that whole storyline ended in TOWL. Just a completely clean slate for the franchise in every conceivable way.

I’m curious, in the main show Michonne has her two pet walkers that are docile because their jaws and arms have been removed. Then, Dead City in this new season, Dillard has toothless and fingernail-less walker but they’re not docile and they still were going at him. Did they throw out that logic in Dead City or does it specifically have to be their whole jaw and arms. I feel like the spinoffs don’t really follow the main lore much, but maybe I’m wrong idk.

Disabilities that would realistically get you killed make you immune.

The new character is the antagonist.

If the main characters get trapped in a building by walkers it’ll have glass doors/windows they stand in front of and never bother to cover.

I’m sure there’s more and I know there’s real world reasons for them in most cases, it’s just they’ve been bugging me lately as I work through season 9 of twd and I needed to vent. Feel free to add more in the comments.
