I'm so friggen disappointed with last night's episode.
Jesus was/is one of the strongest characters in the comic. Like complete ******* badass. He even makes badass Rick look pretty weak. Then we get a really good actor to play him and they don't do shit with his character. It was the biggest waste of a character in the show's history. The actor trained like crazy because he read the comics and expected that is what he would be playing. What a friggen waste of one of the best Walking Dead characters created.
Not reading the comics, I don't have that background, but I was surprised that they killed him off considering the recent losses of Carl, Rick and Maggie. They are running out of strong characters. People love Daryl, but he's a different kind of character. It's going to be interesting to see how the second half of the season goes and if they can establish some strong characters to lead the groups/show.
Jesus was wasted from the start. In the comic, he is their strongest fighter. That scene last night with the ninja style kill was his m.o. He was their guardian. They never made him into that on the show. The actor stated he was ready for it to be over because they weren't utilizing him as he thought they would due to the comics. I know it's not the comics, but not sure why they couldn't utilize him more efficiently to the storyline. In the comic, he and Negan have an epic battle scene. On the show, they didn't even have a scene together. It feels like it's really good again, but it's losing all the characters I fell for the show because of. It just feels like installation 2 of whatever number. Then Maggie doesn't even get a send off, she's just gone. And Michonne is apparently not liked by anyone. Hint though...no one should be looking forward to this fair... eerie forewarning.
TWD began losing its edge since at least season 7 part 2 with a ton of filler. I thought S7 premier was some if the most well acted tv I ever saw. I still watch it and it isn't the same but first 3 seasons was epic television.
It will never be the same without the Grimes crew.

I really enjoyed the first half of this season.
I thought it had better dialogue, character development (other than Jesus), and a lot more heart in general.
They have sooo many characters on that show it is hard to do them all justice and I am glad in a way that they got rid of Jesus.
His character got pushed to the periphery and never got back.
Only part I didn't like about the finale was how easily Negan got out of jail.
That was pretty ******* lame.
This season is incredible!
This show is really going downhill. I used to love it. The zombies aren’t scary/creepy or anything unexpected anymore. Imo this is the worst season yet. It’s lacking creativity...I don’t know but it’s disappointing because this used to be one of my favorite shows. They wanted to know if the show could stand without Rick/Carl but it just seems like a cluster now.
I still have about 4 episodes left so hopefully my mind can change. Not holding my breath ...each season gets a little worse.
