When Rick is gone, it's going to be like when Michael Scott left Dunder Mifflin.

It might go on for another season or 2 before they pull the plug.

Killing off Rick in a surprise twist would have been pretty epic so this announcement only makes sense if they want to try to lure viewers back in (Only 5 more shows! Will he die and how?) to see how it plays out. Cheap ploy, imo.
It may be cheap but it will work. I'll tune in just to see how Rick dies and I had planned on never watching again.

I assume they're discussing fanfic.

What is "Walking Dead"?
It's season 9 of a troubled AMC show that's about to lose it's star character.

I don't even know what's considered spoilers any more but, season 9 news:
Lauren Cohan to leave The Walking Dead after six episodes of new season
https://metro.co.uk/2018/06/03/lauren-c ... n-7600870/
It bums me out remembering how excited I was about TWD after the first few seasons. In retrospect, the show didn't have a chance after losing Darabont. It became all about cost savings and ploys to pop a rating.

Your second paragraph isn't a spoiler at all. ;)

Good point. Fixed. It's weird that we basically know who is leaving the show, and in this case, the exact episode they will be leaving.

It won't AMC will drag it on until it's basically Walking Dead: The New Class.

I pretty much stopped when I heard about them killing off Chandler Riggs character. They screwed up with the Negan tease a few years ago, and the trash people.

Seasons 3 and 4 of FTWD meanwhile have been pretty good, believe it or not.

I've heard the opposite of this season so far. It's nothing but timelines converging and Scott Gimple sucks.

Fear first half wasn't bad. If mainly because new location, new blood, and not many original folks left.

Nope. I might binge it to see how Rick dies, but I couldn't be less interested.

They were hyping the absolute hell out of it on social media last week and especially this weekend. That leads me to believe that they've either found their mojo again or it's a last-ditch marketing blitz to try to generate interest in a fan base that mostly had one foot out the door even before the big reveal that Carl was going to go.

In fact, the last episode that I watched was the one that closed with that reveal (the fall 2017 mid-season finale). I never watched any of the second half of Season 8, though I did kind of follow along with what happened through an episode review column here and there. By all accounts, I didn't miss much.

I *may* get back into it given that they teased the Whisperers for this season, and I suppose that could have the potential to be good. I'm not sure, though.

There's a new season? Suppose I should catch up. I tapped out when there were 3 straight episodes of people just shooting at random sh*t and the tiger died in the dumbest way possible.

I just noticed it has a completely different showrunner.

Haven't watched the premiere yet (and still not sure if I will), but these numbers are damning. The 2017 season premiere had 11.44 million viewers. The 2018 premiere had just 6.1 million. Still a large number, sure, but that's a 47% drop.

I think it's kind of a shame that the ratings dipped around the time Negan entered the picture, which almost makes it seem like Negan was the reason for the drop. I really like Negan as a character (JDM was perfect) and the whole idea around him. It was just dragged-out way too long. They literally did 3 episodes on a battle, in which nothing really happened.

If you were to pitch me that idea for a show like Game of Thrones, I'd be pretty excited for it, but they did it in the most unremarkable way possible.

Those "all out war" episodes were some of the worst TV of all time.
