    I honestly fell asleep during some parts of the episode. I was kind of confused about that scene where they all were holding the barn door closed. Then it kinda just ended and went to Maggie waking up. It almost seemed like it was Maggie's dream.

    So are we in consensus that they held the doors closed long enough and mother nature wiped out all those walkers?

    I was watching euro truck simulator on my tablet, as it was more entertaining than this episode. Seems like nothing advances the story anymore until the series finale, then they have a huge cliff hanger to make sure you come back. Getting pretty sick of this shit... so much more happened/happens in the comics.

    I haven't been on this thread much but I feel the same way. It irks me because I used to love this show and now it seems that all it is is 45 minutes of nothing followed by cliffhanger. I'm really disappointed with the writers and I feel sorry for the actors.

    How was the very last episode story building? If anything it was just emphasis on events that already took place... like Sasha and Maggie mourning the death of their loved ones...
    And IMO, Who needs emphasis on how hard it's to be out and about?... it's a zombie/end of the word/Armageddon type of show and details on how harsh it can be, have already been covered in seasons past. The only story prep to events to come was shown in the last 30 seconds when the new character was into'd

    The show obviously evolved from zombies to humans being a far more dangerous threat than zombies themselves so seeing a brand new human is nerve wrecking, which is why I say the whole last episode was all a useless filler except for the last 30 seconds...

    Agreed, Also they used that episode to finally say "The Walking Dead" in the show and it seemed like they tried to make that line a lot more climatic then it was

    Bestop, Child Seats, petrified french fry, dog hair, empty Mtn Dew cans cracked windshield, scratches.

    I don't know what is going to happen next, but based on the comics I have a decent idea.

    Like I said, 2 episodes ago there was the discussion with Rick, Glenn, and Michonne on if they should find a place to setup shop, or continue to be on the road.

    It illustrates the difficulties of being nomadic, running out of fuel, encountering wild dogs, how far the world has deteriorated and so on. It's transitional to the next episode where I predict they will be invited to the Alexandria Safe Zone like the books, and will have to decide are these more Termites or are they safe to trust and get off the road. The show cannot be all zombie kills and Abe pounding Latinas.

    I disagree that this is a zombie show, it's a survival show that so happens to take place in the ZA.

    Probably a dumb question, but why was it so impactful when he said this?

    The dead people walking around aren't The Walking Dead , it's the live people that haven't turned yet that really are The Walking Dead
