It took me all of four episodes to get into The Expanse.  Now I'm hooked...lol.   Soo....Thanks a lot!  Like you, I've already got my viewing plate full with other shows on my "must watch" list.  But I'm not griping, mind you.  I'm very happy that there's so much to look forward to watching.

Don't get invovled with The Man in the High Castle on Amazon

I have to say I've been pretty underwhelmed with this half season.

@RoosGirl

My husband and I were talking during one of the (endless series of) commercials Sunday night.  It used to be that every episode of TWD had you completely engaged and on the edge of your seat.  It's different now.  I don't mean it as a slam, because I still enjoy the show very much, and all shows eventually reach their peaks.

I wouldn't have admitted that on the Dead thread at TOS, because someone would have gone into screaming defensive mode about the show...you know how it is there. 

I think they could use a new showrunner, really.

I think we're going to get an announcement the next season that the show is ending. (2 more seasons)

@Cripplecreek

That could happen.  Especially if they continue on with Negan.  IMO the character, or more specifically the way he's portrayed, is a contributing factor to the ratings drop.  Jeffrey Dean Morgan's constant smirking and bending backward as he talks is so damn annoying to me that I find it distracting.

I think its just reaching a natural conclusion. The zombies are barely a factor anymore and Neegan is the ultimate living enemy with the separate groups beginning to band together and form the beginnings of a functional modern society.

@Cripplecreek

And then there's the fact that, after All-Out War, unless they do something different the show will fall into an endless circle of our group meeting hostile people, preparing to fight them, and then moving on...to the next hostile element.  I guess that's already happened.

Spoilthedead has a play-by-play spoiler account of tomorrow night's season finale.  I read it, and IMO it's going to be a really good one...one to buckle up for.

He's a smirking jack@ss that you just want to slap (or kick in the nads).  Seriously, in real life, he would have already been handled by friendly fire.
No quarter given to the enemy within...ever.

@XenaLee

Right??  There's no way his people wouldn't have taken him out.  Those people are more hangdog and acquiescent than North Koreans.

I don't even know who I want to get the privilege of killing him.  Maybe Shiva, lol.

She has more reason to want him dead than anyone.  I'd love to see it.

I have a question.  When Dwight was convincing Rick that he was working against Negan now.... why the hell didn't Rick make him give up Negan's location ....ie Sanctuary?  To my knowledge, they still don't know where it is.  Fubar that they couldn't even follow Negan's rats back to the nest.

Talking Dead is coming on after this program and think Negan and Darrell will be there if I heard right.  I think the woman leader of the women was killed, at least I hope that was her.  Will find out on Talking Dead.

OMG!  We just now finished watching.  I screamed when my girl Shiva came in and took care of business!  I'm still crying from Maggie's closing voiceover.  This show can still bring it.  Oh boy, can it.

I'm loving Ezekiel---"Alexandria will not fall."

Eugene doesn't have anybody to save him now.  There was speculation on a TWD board that the baggie the pill was in might sink him, if Negan finds it.

As usual, Negan just won't STFU.

They found it, just didn't approach it...they saw it from the freeway where they took the dynamite from...the Sanctuary's booby trap/walker eraser.

They wanted to fight Negan on their turf, not his.

Sasha had the baggie with her in the casket...but Eugene is on very thin ice.
