The part where they have a battle over the prison, and after the good guys win they leave their newly secured fortress because some fences got knocked down.

[–] MorrisonMotel6@lemm.ee 34 points 1 year ago

That's EXACTLY where I stopped too. How ridiculous

[–] sadbehr@lemmy.nz 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is that around around the same time as the scene that's been made into a meme where the good main cop guy (can't remember name) is crying leaning over telling his son that his mum is now a zombie or dead?

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (8 children)

If I remember correctly, it's the cop dad realizing his son shot his mother (copwife) who was in the process of birthing his sibling. She couldnt complete the brith naturally, and was dying of blood loss. If you die you turn.

So dadcop was away at this time due to plot, carl shoots mom and they rip the baby out.

This meme scene is when Rick returns to learn all that has transpired, and that Carl is completely detached and uncaring (outwardly).

Rick then goes into the scene where the birth happened and it is implied he finds a walker eating the corpse of his wife.

He is, as you can imagine, somewhat bummed out and grouchy about all this.

It also marked his son's pivot from being his little follower (as in wanting to follow his footsteps) into something much more dark.

I dunno, tried to remember. probably goofed some details

When they were trapped in a traincart or maybe a shipping container. I felt like the show fell into a loop of finding a safe place then the safe place turning out not to be safe.

[–] Tippon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 33 points 1 year ago

I powered through that, and I'm watching the next arc. You'll be relieved to know that they've found a safe place. A few of the main cast have noticed some flaws, but I'm sure it'll turn out ok...

The HBO "women making increasingly worse decisions and their problems would have been solved had they done nothing in the first place".

During the season where they got to a seemingly safe place and then it turned out humans are the worst. Then zombies killed some humans and the others had to flee.

I'm sure you know which season I mean /s

[–] snooggums@midwest.social 43 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

When Neegan showed up and I realized that the only fun episodes were the season opener, mid-season break, and finale and that Glenn and Maggie were the only two characters I wanted to live. Since the lame Glenn hid under a trash bin fakeout death, I knew Glenn was gotta get the bat and it wasn't worth watching Maggie go through whatever dumb storyline they came up with after that as they were becoming even more predictable and mediocre over time.

Don't regret watching it to that point or anything, that was just when I decided to spend that time watching something else.

[–] Pringles@lemm.ee 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That is also the moment where I stopped watching. I was already on the fence for some time, but the bullshit of having Glenn survive and then get his head smashed in was the last drop.

It was shortly after they faked out Glenn's death, because I felt the writers were being emotionally sadistic just for shock value and not to enrich the story.

I think I also quit watching The 100 around the same time for that same reason (and because of a couple character deaths that were written very shitty. If you know, you know.)

The final straw for me was the day after the episode where Beth died aired. It was the morning after that episode aired and I hadn't had time to watch it yet, and I was scrolling through Facebook when a giant "RIP Beth" picture popped up on my main feed from the official Walking Dead account.

The official account couldn't even hold itself back from posting spoilers for 24 hours after the air date and I realized I didn't even care that the episode had been spoiled. I didn't care about the characters, or the plot or the direction the story was going.

I haven't watched anything Walking Dead since.

[–] TIMMAY@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

but...youre spoiling it now? edit: /s because I guess I have to spoon feed jokes to you people

[–] activ8r@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

24 hours is a spoiler.
9 years is a recap.

The Walking Dead actually died many seasons ago and we're watching its zombified corpse stumbling around.

[–] STUNT_GRANNY@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I started to lose interest with Glenn's dumpster thing, totally stopped when they made Negan's introduction into a cliffhanger. In hindsight, I wish I'd stopped watching when Rick first arrives at Alexandria's gate, before he ever goes inside.

When Carl got killed and I realized that I didn't care about any of the characters. I didn't even finish watching the episode.

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] MummifiedClient5000 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What? No! Did I say "When Carl got killed"? I meant "When Carl got chilled". It was a whole episode where he had a sore throat and it' s a whole thing.

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 year ago

LoL 😆

No worries. I read through the entire graphic novels. I know the TV series it's different. I lost interest I think after Hershel's farm, or was it the prison?... The pacing was too slow for me. I don't intend to watch it entirely. It's too long and I don't have time anymore for such long series.

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd be upset about the spoiler but I probably won't ever make it that far. :/

Hershel's farm. Got to the end of that, and just never picked it back up. Every time I've thought about it, something else popped up and it just keeps falling by the wayside.

Funnily enough, that was also around the time that I fell off from Who. Just wasn't enthralled with Matt Smith, and I equally haven't gotten around to finishing his time. Seen some sporadic bits, but y'know, there's Wolfs Rain right there, and it's been a minute, so...

When they got to the prison. The entire previous season was a waste of time because the girl they were looking for was already a zombie in the barn the whole time, they killed off all the characters I liked because of contract disputes, and then they just got reset back to square one.

[–] pixelscience@lemm.ee 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can curse on the Internet

[–] Macallan@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Shit, you can even fuckin curse in real life if you damn well want to.

When they had a baby or some shit. I just really didn’t want to deal with baby drama.

[–] Artyom@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago

When the kid pet the wild deer, and then the hunter shot the kid through the deer somehow. The whole concept felt like it was written by someone who has never seen a deer or a rifle in their life.

[–] Clasm@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Which ever episode it was were the main love triangle chick flipped her car in broad daylight on a mostly empty road with no traffic.

I realized that almost none of these characters would have survived the initial outbreak.

After the pilot. Just wasn't my thing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] IrateAnteater@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

Same. Came across to me as a soap opera that happened to have zombies, when I was hoping for more of a George A Romero vibe.

[–] EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Season 1 when the incredible Frank Darabont was fired. If you’ve ever wondered why the quality dropped off hard after season 1… that’s why. In a show that was ostensibly a character driven drama, the show lost a showrunner that directed The Shawshank Redemption. This is the same guy that directed and wrote the screenplay for the movie adaptation of The Mist, and wrote an ending so good that Stephen King preferred it over his own ending.

[–] Corngood@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

I loved the first episode. I watched S1 out of hope and then gave up.

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I need some info. Why are people censoring words like these and why also do it even on pictures?

[–] wildcardology@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Season 8 episode 1. Negan walks out with no cover in front of Rick and the others makes a speech and Rick didn't kill him then and there.

The bit where they pretended the Asian lad was dead but he was actually hiding under a bin.

I stopped watching not because of the deception, but because I realised I no longer cared.

the word is fuck

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Episode one. Not my bag, baby.

[–] ExfilBravo@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

The farm season. Fuck that entire story line.

When I started rooting for the zombies to just end the crew's suffering and by extension mine.

The whole Sophia arc could have been 2-3 episodes not seasons. Nothing against her character or the actress, but they were already really dragging stuff out back then.

But really, I fucking gave up on it because Carl is supposed to kill the non-zombiefied version of Shawn.

[–] dirtySourdough@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I got pretty far, I think the end of season 7. When Carl got bit I realized I did not give a fuck about him or the show.

I sat there after that for bit and thought about how much time I spent watching this show and thinking I should just finish it. But nah, I'm glad I haven't watched the rest.

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

3rd episode of the first season. I thought to myself this is nothing more than a soap opera... Never watched it again

The start of the second season where they were at the prison and had brought in a bunch of new people who were just doing a bunch of dumb shit to almost get each other killed all the time. After a couple episodes I missed a week and realized I didn't care enough to go back to it because it would just be more of the same. Too much of the conflict was just due to the characters being dumbasses and not communicating. I can see that being an issue at the start but after surviving as long as they had that shit should be figured out.
