Mercy

This was an episode we have been waiting for an awfully long time keeping in mind how things ended in the last episode of previous season. But this episode doesn't live up to that hype.One can call it a decent episode. It starts with Rick, Ezekiel and Maggie giving speeches about how things will go down which shows that they have been planning on some kind of an attack which they will surely execute in the episode with flashes from how Carol and keep check on the timing of the herd Daryl is being helped by Dwight as he tells him about their hideouts

I would say while planning they didn't thought it through The plan was a good one but in bits n pieces

1.Controlling the herd and bringing it to Negan's place was executed exceptionally well 2.Taking out the hideouts one by one silently and quietly was another highlight 3.Puts metal sheets on cars and using them as shield required brains and going to Negan's all pumped up seemed like a good plan 4.Hilltop and Kingdom came together to fight against Negan

But as I said they didn't think it through As soon as Negan walks out no one shoots All that 'one person has to die talk goes into a dustbin' Rick gave a choice to Negan's lieutenants(MERCY) that they can join Team Rick and their lives will be spared.But on one seemed to say anything.Then out of nowhere Negan calls out Gregory to say that Hilltop stands with Negan but i don't know why he thought that would work(Absolutely failed)

Rick starts counting and in the middle of it shoots and Negan and misses.From 7 long season they had been using guns and a misses the target(Seems highly unlikely) And then came the most poorly thought scene:Wasting Ammunition All lost their heads and started shooting at the building That was just Rick depicting 'Fuck One Person' kill everyone Negan somehow manages to get into a trailer outside the building As their so called plan was working, people start leaving as big herd of Zombies reached there Then Gabriel gets that fatherly sense and goes out help Gregory but as anyone watching that scene can predict :Yes u guessed right Gregory takes his car and flees Gabriel then somehow and manages to get into a trailer and finds Negan in it with both of them surrounded by Zombies At the end of the episode Rick is getting those time transitional flashbacks in which he is giving speech and then he is panting and thinking about Mercy and then he's old(Grandpa Rick) leaving peacefully All in all a decent episode but could have been much better I think Negan has something in store for the next episode and people are going to die But it looks like this is a kind of battle no one will be happy after winning(Although Negan is always happy)

Mysterious time-hopping sequences with explosive action, a few throwbacks and good acting of Lincoln makes this an entertaining and promising premiere.

The Walking Dead is back; one of the shows that need binge watching. I was excited when the 100th episode came out, but when I watched it; I was not surprised and immediately wanted to write my review to state its flaws. Sadly, it wasn't that good. Firstly, the dialogue. It was poorly written — I barely understood some of the talk scenes and there were some scenes that you could easily see their mumbling which is not a good thing — making it uneasy to listen, but not only is it difficult to listen due to poor performance, but it was embarrassing as well, because it's one of the most watched television series. Secondly, the cinematography was unacceptable and it lacks quality. I used to enjoy watching this show, but now it's just a show about spilling blood and never as compelling as the writers want it to be. The previous season made the show dull and predictable and it officially went downhill after Season 7.

My enjoyment of "The Walking Dead" has waned sufficiently to make me wonder whether I should still call myself a fan of the show; it was sometime during Season 6 when I really began watching simply to see if it would get better. With that said, I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy last night's premiere of Season 8.

I'd rate it an 8 out of 10 for its creators' wise reliance on fan service to salvage a weary narrative. They were successful enough to make me enjoy the episode, which was quite generous with action and special effects, including the show's state-of-the-art zombie effects.

If you squint just a little, you can still see that "The Walking Dead" is worn at the seams. This just isn't a program that does dialogue or character development very well. Dear God, am I sick of the saccharine pep talks among Maggie, Rick and Jesus. It's like a bowlderized menage a trois scripted by Hallmark card writers, in which everyone is masturbating one another verbally and metaphorically. (Strangely enough, though, the show does just fine scripting and characterizing its villains. Negan and his henchman — including the traitorous Eugene — all seem to have distinct voices, are interesting to watch, and are well portrayed by their actors.)

There were plotting and logistical problems too … it seems to me that our heroes had ample opportunity to finally shoot Negan (in a story conclusion that we should have seen ages ago), yet inexplicably chose to expend countless rounds at his building's windows.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the episode, though. There was a lot of childish fun to be had with the explosions, armored vehicles, and grotesque zombies, not to mention the long overdue emotional payoff of watching Rick and company finally take the fight to Negan. If you used to love this show and want to love it again, the premiere will at least give you a little hope.

After a 6 month you just wait something to start happening but it is not and Negan stood on the point blank just like a sitting duck, come on. The swarm of the zombies are on the reach of the hand every time you need them. This is a just worst screenplay ever, thank you,thank you again. I hope that is someone in the world that after 7 seasons feels just the same way as me. Oohh I see now there is a rule by IMDb that for a review you have to write minimun of 5 lines but there is no much to write about it only that this episode is not good at all and I lost hope that it ever get better
