I think that's just because of the network it's on? They don't have the same kind of money to throw around as the big networks do.

Yeah apparently Norman Reedus makes around 80 grand per episode.
No offense because I love the character, but most times he gives one look, one grunt, maybe a line or two, then flicks his greasy hair out of eyes and he's out
According to my Hollywood Reporter buddy, it's a large ensemble cast and that chews up lots of the budget. Most people think it's the effects, and they are expensive compared to other prime time shows, but over half the cast has been around for ten years and apparently, that's where the money goes.
I wonder how they're going to handle the Morgan transition?
Yeah, Daryl is a good character and all, but he lacks a bit of depth
That's why the Talking Dead bothers me sometimes...
Yeah Norman man he knocked it out of the park during that scene!! (big hugs and high fives on the couch)
And all Reedus did was drive a motorbike for 20 feet and look cool
Yep, agreed on Morgan. I saw an interview with the actor and man is that guy full of himself. He talked about one of his scenes like it was the best performance of Shakespeare ever witnessed.
My curiosity is about the logic on how they handle it. Morgan is going to the FTWD world. Does that mean Fear catches up with TWD in terms of timeline, or will it be a huge flashback before he met Rick.
Hollywood Reporter guy did a long podcast outlining how it would impossible for Morgan to interact with the FTWD people at any point in his progression on TWD. So he feels that somehow the two stories will be brought together in terms of timeline. Oh yay..
Yeah, because in TWD timeline, Rick stumbled upon Morgan after coming out of his coma, not long after the outbreak, so Morgan was in Georgia when the apocalypse happened. And I'm not really sure how far FTWD is into the apocalypse timeline, but they are way behind TWD. So does that mean they will do a 'time jump' in FTWD to bring things in line? And really, I'm not even sure why they NEED the two series to converge. I mean what, is Morgan going to work his way to California for some unknown reason?
That's kinda what I'm getting. The two timelines have to converge for it to make any sense. Otherwise, it may be a worse fan situation than the dumpster death.
The writer at THR told where Morgan was at each stage of the TWD storyline. It was long but a summary is - Morgan had a family, lost them, met Rick...and the time in between them initially saying goodbye and reuniting didn't offer any opportunities for Morgan to be in southern LA or Mexico and come back.
That asshole writer Gimple said that's why they've purposely kept the timelines vague on both series, in case we need 'to adjust things.'
The universe does listen. Scott Gimple is moving to head content position and Angela Kang takes over the showrunner/head writer spot. The first half of season eight has been called disastrous
I wouldn't say that. I will say that I don't need to see entire episodes of endless shootouts that go nowhere however.
Could they have dragged Carl's death out anymore? By the end of the episode I was all "I wish he would die already"
And I always thought those flash forward visions were Rick's, but the have been Carl's the whole time? And somehow I don't see Negan being all nice and happy and 'living happily ever after' like in those visions.
Ya'll still watching this crap? Jesus 119 pages.
