"Biggest waste of 16 Sunday nights in the history of modern television"– The internet reacts to The Walking Dead season 8 finale
Was it REALLY that bad?

Phew. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Walking Dead season 8 finale has been and gone. We finally got some closure: the Rick/Negan war is over; Eugene finally showed his true colours, and, yep, I think everyone is sorta done with the show now. Spoilers follow…
The war is over...
Who won? Rick (kinda, we’ll get to that later). 🎶Negan fell for the ol’ stalling routine instead of introducing Rick to his old pal Lucille and got a slit throat for his troubles. And then he survived. As you do. And, no, because this exact thing happened in t𒁃he comics isn’t an excuse. Stop. Dragging. Things. Out.
That shit was trash. They been building up Negan for how many seasons? Killed Glen and Abraham in epic fashion, waiting for Rick to get revenge and wat does he do? Decওides to let Negan sit in a cell to watch the community♎ have bonding moments. Satisfying? Speak for yourself.
So let me get this straight: Negan ambushed Rick's ambush on his ambush but Rick ambushed that ambush too. #TheWa✃lkingDead

Eugene saves the day
At leasღt we got some half-decent character development. Yay for competent writing! Eugene turned on the Saviors in a move so telegraphed that the ‘previously on…’ segment should’ve just been ten seconds of flashing text letting us all know Eugene isn’t on Negan’s side. It gave us some cool visuals at least, with the Saviors all dropping one-by-one.

Dear Eugene.I take back all the terrible things I said about you last week. Okay. I still meant like 50🌸 percent of them. Love,Me #TWDxFearTWD #FearTWD #TWD @TheWalkingNews @WalkingDeadArmy @WalkingDead_AMC @AMCTalkingDead
👊🏼 “That was for the puke.” -Rosita to Eugene #TheWalkingDead
Morgan's gone for good?
He’s on Fear the Walking Dead (w🐻hich premiered its fourth season on Sunday) now, but is everyone’s favourite stickman actually gone for good in the main TWD-verse? Probably. At least he went back to his pacifist roots before we waved goodbye to him.
One thing that bothers me about the Walking Dead crossover is that Morgan didn’t say goodbye to Rick and the group. #TheWalkingDead #Fea🐼rTheWalkingDead #TalkingDead
When the writers think putting Morgan on 𓄧fear the Walking dead gonna make us wa🦋tch it... #TheWalkingDead pic.twitter.com/FYE9hCNNrd
Maggie's a baddie
One of the few interesting things to come out of the finale was Maggie going all Boardwalk Empire and turning the tables on Rick. Along with Daryl and Jesus 🔯(why ꧒does Jesus hate Rick? Find out in season 33!), Maggie seems to be leading the charge against Rick.
The walking dead should just end. Nobody wants a coup of the origꦜinal cast v R🍸ick.
How is Jesus on the council of "pissed off at Rick" with Daryl and Maggie, when he was just preaching to Morgan about sparing a🧸nd not killing enemies???#TheWalkingDead pic.twitter.com👍/7DT0FHlXuT
Because this is what we all wanted right...#TheWalkingDead #TW🍌D pic.twitter.com/Bm8iwrYe0z
We're all back for season 9... right? Guys?
Because I’m not. Bye.
Wowwwww okay!! The Walking Dead SUCKS! Finale was terrible. 2/10. Get some new write💧rs
ive never seen Fear The Walking Dead but i assume it's about people that watch The Walking Dead when they realize it's sunday and they're going to have 🏅to sit through another hour of this shit
If Ric♋k and Negan are both alive at the end of this episode, this season was the biggest pile of steaming sh*t waste of 16 Sunday nights in the history of modern television. #TheWalkingDead #T✅WDSeasonFinale
It’s so sad to see such a great show become so terrible and anticlimactic. Each season since 5 has lacked in some form or fashion. Now this season 8 finale is the last straw. You build up this war for almost two season, and it&𒉰rsquo;s over in less than 10 minu▨tes? #TheWalkingDead
Now that The Walking Dead season 8 is over, you're going to need something to fill that void. How about some of these 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new TV shows?
