So that does explain why they pulled the Q&A spoiler I normally post. Speculation was correct but the way it went down was worth not spoiling the masses as to be a total I didn't see that coming moment.
Also explains why episode 9 was the last spotting on set. What ever Scott says plays out will play out after the break. Probably some sort of sacrifice to Negan. Scott did say on talking dead just now it is a fatal bite and plays out like every bite.

As for why and the comic departure, Riggs spent his entire teens on Walking Dead and school in between and off to college and to start a life. He could have probably sucked out 2-5 more years from this show before it ends so you have to respect the choice he made as an 18 yr old.
Also given they did a whole volume in 8 episodes, it is clear pretty much the Negan war will end in the second half.

I think they dropped the ball on that one. They should have had it happen at the hand of Negan. Would have given Rick that over the edge mind set for next season and would make their final showdown that much more satisfying.

Rick isn't out of family members just yet.
It looks like Alexandria is done as well as Kingdom towns. Looks like it is the farmer life for everyone left now.

Yeah it’s pretty crazy to think basically his whole growing up as a kid has been basically this show for the last seven years.

thats why tv shows traditionally recast child characters. carl should have been replaced by season 3 or 4.
Ya. People are flipping out their shit right now about it.
Comic people are upset because major departure.
Show people upset because usually they are just recast.
Not sure why they didn't go that route other than maybe they want to break away from the comics some due to upcoming events and time gap and so forth.
Anyways another one.

Set spotting plus this tweet is what triggered the whole spoiler this season

well, they could have followed the same story arc, they didnt need this kid to be there when it happened. their timeline was what? 2 or 3 years after the zombocalypse? they already hosed their continuity. he must have been a major fan favorite to be kept this long.

I'm going to guess many will tune in for episode 9 but after that count on another 10% drop at least from this judging SM reaction atm.
That would put them between S1 and S2 in viewers which is still #1 but over a 50% fall from peak.

I hate the "over the edge" Rick. I'm not looking forward to him being all fucked for the rest of the series.

not been much references to how much time has passed so far in S8
S8 started around day 610, 550ish days after Rick wakes up.
according to the wiki

they should expanded it to match closer to real time.

anyway
that was some of the most retarded shit i have seen on tv in a long time.

not sure what's worse...that this entire episode was shot in the dark so I can't tell what the hell is going on, or the fact that I don't even give a shit anyways.

edit - after rewinding 40 minutes I still can't find the scene in which he got bit. What the hell?

re-edit - i actually know now that I don't give two shits. Convinced there is no shot that sets up that bite. Can't believe i waste my time having this run in the background as i do shit.
