Love the way Sasha left the scope covers on the rifle while in use... And who killed the Savior near Eugene with the silenced shot? None of their weapons had silencers :thumbsdow

Yeah, loved that part with the cover on the scope too.
But they didn't screw up twice. It's very hard to tell, but Rosita's pistol isn't a Glock 17L (Long slide). Her pistol did have a silencer on it.

Guess I might have had too much (or just enough) wine at that point... Good thing she found some subsonic 9mm ammo.
But that's exemplifies how far this show has sunk. I'm so bored with the simple-minded plotting and character behavior that I now focus on the the technical glitches that I might have overlooked in prior seasons.

the more i think about it the more i think this season would have benefited from a good ole fashioned time jump. instead they did the opposite and made multiple episodes where the time is overlapping. in my opinion they pulled it off pretty good last season. they certainly got over abitious by trying to show the saviors, alexadrians, hill topians, the kindom, ocean siders, and the garabage people all in one season. if this were a movie they could just montage it and tell this story in 2 hours. when the season 6 finale aired last year I didnt understand that it would be TWO years before the show might get good again (im a glass half full kind of guy)

Not the finally I expected or predicted. My wife and I give our predictions before the show starts. We both were pretty much so wrong on details, but right on the over all outcome. lol The Saviors will live on until midway through next season, my current prediction. lol

I was really hoping that Negan would not survive into next season. Oh well...

Uh. Spoilers?
gunga... I think at this point no one really cares anymore. This season sucked as far as writing. And the season finale was no different. I doubt anything could "spoil" it any worse than the writers themselves did... :ironic:
I was surprised by the double cross. I'm so L@@King forward to Rick throwing Junkyard Queen off a seven story building into a glass greenhouse, you know? Giving her the Tony Rocky Horror treatment.

Oh ok. Yeah. Slow moving crap. Way too much time on Sasha dream sequence. I like the heat seeking tiger that knows who is bad.
Edit : all that build up for very little payoff. I saw some comics spoilers a long time ago so had an idea but I'm not sure how much they follow the comic these days.

HA! :laughing: I ask The Lovely Mrs. Gardiner how the tiger knew who the bad guys were.
A lot of my viewing entertainment is derived from such nonsense. TWD isn't being shown on The History Channel for a reason, folks. If you can't find something to enjoy from watching it, probably best not to. A friend of mine has bought and sold more cars than anyone else I know. I finally learned not to get too emotionally attached to his new one.

What? You didn't find the endless scenes of Sasha making faces riveting drama? :shakehead
I knew what THAT was all about in the opening scene - before the opening creds... and oddly wasn't sad at all. But when the dream sequences started?!? Yeah - it was good to see Abraham but otherwise? :tired: - and what the heck was that crap with her and Maggie? It added NOT A THING!!
Chance... I look to TWD for pure entertainment also. It is, after all, a TV show based on a comic book. I don't look for "realistic" stuff or historical content. I get it. But for a show that has held a certain standard of entertainment for the past 6 years, this was very disappointing. I was not even looking forward to the finale last night like I have for past seasons. I was actually really tired last night and considered watching it on Tivo today rather than stay awake for it last night. Should have gone with that instinct... :ironic:

I know. The build up was so slow and frankly boring. I was surprised it was the finale because I expected more tension going into it. Then the episode started and nothing happened.

Sadly, after 6 seasons of devout viewership I now find myself emotionally removed from TWD. Where I once was transfixed by scenes (e.g., the Terminus baseball bat & trough scene), now I apathetically watch the show not really caring what happens. Even the Negan-Carl scene didn't grab me.
Season 7's unrelentingly dismal episodes have taken their toll to the point where FTWD might actually be more interesting.
A statement I thought I'd never make!

Tis true. I've been uncharacteristically detached watching the show. On an unrelated note, anyone watch the 100? I quite like it.
Sad isn't it?
I can not understand what the idea is with the trash people at all?
A few years into the Apocalypse and they can't speak English or dress normally?
WTF is this Mad Max?
Rick sure seemed tempted by Jadis' offer?:shakehead
Shiva was great and in motion did not look as cheesy as before to me and of course she would only maul the bad folks!
The rest was boring and both predictable and unbelievable with the fight scene the only mildly engaging part and that was about 5 minutes worth.
The scenes with Maggie and Sasha lacked continuity with the real scenes too which took place after that storm where all the dead were speared by the trees,none of that was in the newer flashback?
I too think the merciless head smashing in 7-1 was just too fat to go and I turned off to it right there whether that makes sense to anyone else or not.
Anyway the Saviors look pretty much unstoppable to me in numbers alone so who knows what idiotic idea they will give us to even the odds when they start up again.
I really though there would be more fighters in the combined groups than there are and without the Amazons of Oceanside to join them it looks hopeless to me?
Then Maggie channeled her inner Sarah Conner and that was too much for me,I didn't stay up through the other show for the Talking Dead,I just don't care anymore.
Just not real enough!

Yep. No mystery there. Captain Obvious has been hired to write for TWD. He was joined by another writer, Captain Crap. He penned the Sasha - Maggie scene.
I agree, it is disappointing. I think most of us can put up with a lot and still be entertained. However, when the writing becomes so bad that it pulls the viewer out of the story every episode, ......... it's time to change why you watch or just stop watching.
Perhaps the writers and producers want TWD audience to feel what it's like to live through a zombie and man's inhumanity to his fellow man apocalypse. There's just no hope of it getting better. Nothing but misery.
