Give me a break, people are watching a show about walking dead people and violent gangs and they complain when it is violent or gruesome. They should switch to the Disney channel then.

Hooray. Thanks for the heads up. I am kinda glad they toned it down- I watch it for the story line, and not the gore so I won’t miss that extra grossness. There’s enough of that in the real world. JMHO.

Thanks for the head’s up-I would have missed it.

That brings back my memory of that little song:

Living on easy street.

Producers Toned Down Violence After Season Premiere Backlash

So when does that occur? Next year? I'm under the impression that all the episodes for this season have been filmed and in the can.

‘The Walking Dead’ Producers Toned Down Violence After Season Premiere Backlash

That backlash wasn't against the violence. The backlash was that the violence was so cartoonish, it negated the emotional impact of losing such important characters.

I've had a very difficult time keeping up with this season. Because of my work schedule, I found myself waiting for the weekend to watch the show On-Demand and then falling asleep 15 minutes before each episode ends. I don't know if it's me or the show but it sure seems like there's a lot of filler.

They seem to have lost their way. Negan isn't intimidating at all. In the real ZA, someone would've kicked his ass a long time ago. Maybe that's why it's so hard watching Rick and the gang turn into such mewling wussies.

Someone needs to right this ship soon. Actually, what am I bitching about? Even crappy Walking Dead is still better than most of what's on TV. I guess I just expect more.

Maybe it's time to get Frank Darabont on the phone.

PERFECT! LOL!

[Patriot Babe]

There is more violence in the streets of Chicago and what the tender little Snowflakes are capable of doing.

Can’t wait for tonight. Thanks for the heads up.

most episodes airing winter spring 2017 were filmed before season premiere. They wrap by Thanksgiving

The season premiere turned off a lot of people, including me.

Has the guy with the bat been offed Yet? If so, I might give it another look.
