How are people finding the first half of the season? A lot of people that I know who watch it have found it slow. I have quite enjoyed it. Basically its a completely different direction and they have a lot of different storylines to tap into and also have to get the characters settled again after a pretty horrific start to the season. I am not sure if the slower pace will affect ratings though. Surely something big is coming.
It always keeps me hooked. There are so many different communities now itâs hard to keep track. But I agree something big is due no doubt.

Although it ended over a month ago, Iâd be interested to here what people thought of Season 7A.
Hereâs my take on the first half of Season 7.
The Day Will Come When You Wonât Be: A great episode, highly impactful deaths and a good introduction for Negan.
The Well: Great to see the introduction of Ezekiel and Shiva. A slower episode but quite upbeat, a welcome change. I loved Jerryâs puns and am looking forward to seeing The Kingdomâs involvement in the second half. Hopefully Carol and Morgan get their mojo back, and Richard stays around for a while.
The Cell: Again it was slower paced however it was really interesting in seeing Daryl get broken through torture. Also great to see that Dwight is starting to become sympathetic to the Survivors.
Service: A welcome change to return to our main group, continued on well from the premiere in making us feel helpless under Neganâs rule.
Go Getters: Some hilarious moments with Gregory, great to see Maggie taking on a larger role at the Hilltop.
Swear: Certainly one of the weaker episodes of the series however, there were some great moments with Tara. Iâll be interested to see when the Oceanside come into the storyline, and how long it will be until Heath returns.
Sing Me a Song: One of the stronger episodes of the season, it was great to see the comic book moment come to life. I loved seeing more of Jesus and the focus on The Sanctuary was great.
Hearts Still Beating: My favourite episode of the season so far, Darylâs escape was great likewise the exchanges between Negan and Spencer. Some big deaths and the final scene when Rick and co reunite with Daryl, Maggie, etc was for me the best moment of the season.
In all, it has been great to see the expansion of the universe to incorporate other communities. Iâm loving Negan so far (currently my favourite character), definitely looking forward to âRise Upâ against The Saviors in 7B.
The Walking Dead returns February 12.
Fear The Walking Dead expected to air April 16 with a 16-episode season.

Cannot wait. Is it sad I am leaving work early to âwork from homeâ to watch this?

I canât blame you turdall, Iâm very excited.
I canât wait for the reveal of the Junkyard.
Hopefully we see plenty of action this half.
I doubt AMC will change Negan for the one speech but boy I canât wait to see what ever adaptation of this Jeffrey Dean Negan delivers: âWeâre the big swinging dâk of this worldâhave been for a long fâking timeâŚbut it seems people are forgetting that. So now our big swinging dâk is going to swing harderâŚand faster, until we take off like a motherfâking helicopter and blow all these motherfâkers away.â
Weâre going to war!

I really enjoyed the first episode. The last scene was greatm cant wait for the rest of the season.
Another great episode, highly suspenseful and great to have The Walking Dead back.
I have to say, that car scene with Michonne and Rick is up there with some of my favourite moments in the whole series. Such an efficient way to go about business.
And that final scene was amazing. Especially that sly grin at the end from Rick. Holy hell, the Saviors are in big trouble.

Back to slower pace this episode, rather uneventful and not terribly exciting.
Sure, it will be important to All Out War like âSwearâ but on its own is very weak.
6/10, by far the weakest so far in season 7.
Iâm holding out hope that next week is better.
Another ordinary episode of The Walking Dead, almost identical to The Cell only with Eugene swapped in for Daryl.
Next episode looks to be great, canât wait to see some more scavenging. Boy have I missed them from the days of Season 1-5.

Yeah it was much slower this episode. Eugene is a coward.
A step back in the right direction for The Walking Dead with âSay Yesâ. Highlighted some great chemistry between Michonne and Rick with some great action and fun moments.
Also good to see Sasha and Rosita plotting together. I feel as though it isnât going to end too well for one (or both) of them.
Sasha to get the Holly death? Makes sense with her being the main actor on the new Star Trek.
I really hope your spoiler is incorrect. She has become my favourite by far. But as for her being on a movie I donât see how it would stop her from doing the show as well. Others have done it in previous seasons.
Because itâs not a movie. Itâs a new TV series.
Ohhhh didnât realise that. Is it still not possible to do both?
Both series film during the same time period (Summer). She could stay on in the background but I canât see it happening. Iâd imagine sheâd stick around the set though with her husband, Kenric Green, playing Scott.
So devastated that my favourite was killed off. Good season finale, not great but good. After a pretty slow second half the season we have a good build up to season 8.
Fear the Walking Dead has been renewed for a fourth season. Executive producer and showrunner of The Walking Dead, Scott E. Gimple, will also become an executive producer of Fear the Walking Dead.

âWe are saddened to report that John Bernecker, a talented stuntman for The Walking Dead and numerous other television shows and films, suffered serious injuries from a tragic accident on set,â AMC said in a statement. âHe was immediately transported to an Atlanta hospital, and we have temporarily shut down production. We are keeping John and his family in our thoughts and prayers.â
Production on the eighth season has restarted days after Berneckerâs death. The season will premiere in Australia on FX on October 23, same day as the US. It will also be the showâs 100th episode.
