That's basically my expectation. Negan shows up at the end of Season 6, we have the war for Season 7 and then the time jump to Season 8 and the Whispers arc.
What's interesting to me is how many of the cast will stay on past Season 7. That would be a natural stopping point if any of them wanted to leave and be recast.

As far as I can see it's by far the most commented on series on this site. You get the impression that the writers are just sick of being told to come up with daily articles on it.

This antipathy The AV Club has towards The Walking Dead is becoming tiresome.

Yep, I'm not surprised but whenever I've bought it up with other people, it's been completely dismissed as nonsense.

I've had a theory for a long time that the zombie love comes from a dissatisfaction with the world as it is. The feeling that the world is over-complicated, cold and it's too far gone to be pulled back by any individual. There is definitely a desire among people, and a romantic notion, of returning the planet back to…

I'm with King on this, the film is empty and, despite it's style & visual flourishes, really just a standard horror film. If you want popcorn nonsense then it's the best in the genre, but let's not pretend it's some masterpiece of cinema.

My feeling was it was little more than an extended episode of Tales From The Crypt.

Why is no-one talking about the really odd blood spatter on Glenns face? Watch it again and someone tell me how the blood comes from Glenn's right when Nicholas is directly facing him?

No-one ever pays enough attention to Labia

Depending on how closely they stick to the source material, they're gonna need to fill out Season 6 in-between the big moments, of which there are 3 or 4. It'll be Season 7 where things just go mental.

"Picky has worked for me.”

I wasn't familiar with Pyg until I played Arkham Asylum recently. He certainly makes an impression.

Fail The Walking Dead?

You could just not make the threat in the first place?

"Hey, we're living in a relatively secure compound and there's an army compound with hundreds of civilians down the road. Let's destroy them both and leave everyone to die, even though we've nowhere else to go"

I can accept he's got a great voice, I just don't care for how he uses it, at all.
A lounge singer is a lounge singer is a waste of talent.

It's terrible, right-wing conformist crap

I can't stand Elvis or Sinatra and I don't accept that they're great. I have a real dislike of heavily stylised voices because I think it makes them sound insincere.
Also, Patti Smith and Neil Young, I'll never get the appeal.
