- GoofsWhen Rick asks Negan to come out and face him he carelessly points his gun back at his own people. As a former law enforcement officer, his training would have made avoiding such a mistake second nature. It is something he would never have done.; At least he keeps his finger off the trigger.

Featured review
Re-booting...Please be patient!
I have read some of the low score reviews and also some good score reviews, and can understand both points of view! I should start really by stating that I am not a comic book reader, so have not read any of The Walking Dead (shame on me, not a true fan etc etc, I get it!) books.
As such, my viewpoint is a little one-sided, and that's from the TV viewer point, and given the critical following this show has internationally, on a scale with Game of Thrones, then I think the readers of TWD are a little unfair and unrealistic to expect AMC and also the writers to follow the books to the latter, which seems to be a huge cause of disdain! As a TV fan of the show, I can understand how difficult it must be to make this show and continually come up with new ideas, if you take Game of Thrones as a case in point, there is so much going on with all the different families, that it must be a script writers dream come true...However now look at The Walking Dead, set in a time when there are not so many walking living, that it narrows the script writing substantially AND to highlight what some have already raised, most of the early seasons were along the same theme...Bump into a bad guy, play a mental chess game of is he good is he bad, then a big showdown at the end! There are only so many times that you can show that before it becomes boring!
So kudos to the writers for the bold move not to kill off Negan...And let's face it, out of all the bad guys, Negan has by far been the best adversary and major cap doffing to Jeffrey Dean Morgan, I don't think any character comes close to matching an on screen presence against Rick, than Negan does and it is down to the acting! So haters, you just want him to die?! Don't you want to see more?!
Of course, the whole premise of keeping Negan alive is to build the better future for all, and we are already seeing discontent in the camp, so I suspect a bitter rivalry to ensue in the next season that is going to bring a lot of change to the series ahead...Hence my subject heading, sometimes you have to shift it up, change things around, to continue a great show and you can't just have the same old style of bad guy comes along, battle for 10 episodes, then defeat him, it has to be more than that and this is the great opportunity ahead for the show.
I do however share one grumble, the episode just was not long enough, we are used to big episodes for end of season and this was far too short, this should really be considered in future, even if you have to cut down the episodes, similar to how Game of Thrones did!
Looking forward to season 9 already...But Fear the Walking Dead will do for now ;-)
