    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

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

    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.

    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.

      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?

        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

          Damn yea that all rings a few bells now. I didn’t realise it was the kid that had to kill the mum (and baby?) This is the point I stopped watching, I can’t remember specifically why, but I obviously got sick of it or thought the show had turned to shit and maybe this was the last straw for me.

    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.

      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.

    Pretty much when I realized each season was them just taking over another town killing the leader because one of their own got captured. Plus Carl was super annoying lol

    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.

    When they had the weird “school” lessons for the kids in the prison and were teaching them how to kill zombies effectively while having lectures outside sitting on the grass. It was like the worst parts of being a hippie and the worst parts of being a violent fuckwad all thrown together. I get that they were trying to show what life might be like for the next generation but teaching violence in that pseudo innocent context felt so incredibly wrong

      Not defending the show but that juxtaposition was the point, it was meant to be perverse

    Whatever season it was with the old man and the farm and barn. When Grampa kept threatening to kick them out. The ex cop should’ve stomped that old man to death.

    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.

      That’s on you. If you don’t want to have yesterday’s episode spoiled, you shouldn’t go on social media or at least be very careful.
