The Walking Dead Season 8 Finale Review... All Out Where
Suggested Episode Soundtrack: The Turtles “Happy Together”
There are a million people who will recap this episode, so I won’t. You know what happened, and I know what happened. If you’re reading this, and don’t know what happened, what are you doing here? Big ass spoiler alerts up ahead, peaches! Lookout!
I’m sick of this Morgan sees dead people crap. When did that even start? He was a stark raving lunatic when Rick, Michonne and Carl happened upon him. Even nuttier when Eastman, the cheesemaker, found him. Yet, no ghost sightings. Now, he’s all Haley Joel Osment. Puh-lease! We all know Morgan’s crazy. There’s no reason to pretend he won’t act crazy. Stop being startled by his behavior.
Last episode, I was super happy Negan said what I’ve been saying since Carl went all “make love not war,” there’s no way to just stop fighting and kumbaya this *ish. Even Morgan said it, “We can’t go back. So, let’s just finish this.”
When I heard that, I shouted, “Yes! Thank, God! Please do finish this.” This season has dragged on and on. I, seriously, would prefer Hershel’s farm to this weird idea of all-out war. I don’t think the directors/ producers of this season have ever seen actual war. Maybe this season was intended to be more psychological warfare than anything else. Like, how many fans can we lose in one season? If that was the goal, then mission accomplished! Ratings have plummeted to season one proportions. This season has been the biggest hurry up and wait season ever. At least, in season two, we didn’t really know exactly what we were waiting for, but this season, they’ve been telling us it’s All Out War since the beginning. But, I’ve seen no proof of this “all out” that they speak of.
It was nice to see Michonne and Rick holding hands on the way out to war. I guess they were supposed to represent a united front? Whatever!
I love how they always sacrifice people we don’t give a crap about. Right off the top, six extras die. Morgan murks dude, but I couldn’t care less for Joe Schmo. He should have slit Jesus’ throat when he tapped him on the shoulder. I would’ve paid to see that.
While Jesus was talking to Morgan, Morgan should’ve just bashed his head in. Talk about useless characters. I’m, so, over these morality pep talks. Wasn’t it Jesus who went along to the outpost and helped murder people in their sleep? Now, he’s all buddha-on-the-mountaintop. Sheesh! Give it a rest. You knew you were going to war! Stop trying to talk people out of war in the middle of war. What exactly did he think war meant? Shut up, Jesus—Not you, Lord. The other Jesus.—! Morgan should’ve turned around and stuck the sharp end of that stick through Jesus’ throat. Take a page out of Henry’s book. Put him out of our misery, please! No more talkie-talkie, Jesus.
How does Negan have an unlimited supply of resources? I would really like to see the other side, at least, even this war out a skosh. There are always these impossible odds. It’s, like, eight people against one hundred.
Rosita should have shot Eugene. I don’t care if he sabotaged the guns. His flip-flopping, Stockholm syndrome ass has annoyed me for a majority of his time on this show. I think there was only two episodes, maybe three, where he displayed any redeeming character traits. However, his cowardly ass changed that the moment he started playing with the saviors. Abraham is probably rolling in his grave over Eugene’s BS. And Morgan with the moral dilemma in the middle of war is pissing me off. Not today, Morgan! Not to-day!
Oceanside and their Molotov cocktails! Ha! That’s all I’m gonna say about that. Smh…
Who decided to decorate this random tree with stain glass windows? That’s a waste of…stained-glass windows.
Finally! Negan is dead! Thank, God! It’s exactly as it should be. He was never going to be able to be redeemed. Plus, now that the show took that huge departure from the comics and killed Carl, there’s really no use for the Negan storyline.
FML!
Someone stop Siddiq from saving this douchebag. How is this the same emotional payoff as the comic book? Huh, Scott Gimple? Where was that? When did that happen? How? Tell me please. I don’t feel it. Nothing surprised me in this episode. Not Daryl letting Dwight live, although, I would’ve liked to see Dwight take over the sanctuary. Not Oceanside showing up. Not Morgan leaving. Nothing really happened. Ever heard the saying, “Don’t let your mouth write checks that your ass can’t cash”?
This does not change my feelings towards Eugene one bit. I regularly forget about him, Jesus, Aaron and Gabriel. ALL OUT WAR—MY ASS! This was just as anti-climatic as the rest of the season.
At least, in season two, Sophia was in the barn, Shane went rogue and the farm burns down. We saw Patricia get eaten out of Beth’s hands. Andrea gets left. I mean, stuff happened. But, in this season. Season 8! Nothing frickin’ happens! No wonder Morgan leaves. These people are nuts. Grab the helicopter from Jadis, Morgan. I’m with you. Deuces!
I’m up out this peace!
**FYI-EAZY! I’m with Maggie, Jesus and Daryl. Of course, I don’t understand why the heck Jesus is part of this coup. Maybe he’ll play the moral compass next season too. Yay—NOT!
