halgia November 18, 2017 Share November 18, 2017 Quote A close look at Negan and the lives of the Saviors during the conflict through a familiar set of eyes. An extra 13 minutes for this episode that I'm sure everyone has been clamoring for.... 6 Link to comment

Irishmaple November 18, 2017 Share November 18, 2017 The familiar eyes have to be those of Eugene, I suppose. Poor Father Gabriel is stuck with Negan and likely considering a quick death by zombie horde. You guys are going to have to snark for me because I’ll be missing the live airing due to being in Ireland. I’m on vacation!! 8 Link to comment
nodorothyparker November 18, 2017 Share November 18, 2017 An extra 13 minutes for what I'm assuming too is yet more monologuing? Talk about not reading your audience. 9 Link to comment
peach November 18, 2017 Share November 18, 2017 The Big Scary U? Nothing is big and scary about this show anymore. Just dread of monologues. This is like that horrible season in Alexandria where it took 8 episodes to get through one day. Probably skipping this one, since it likely won't advance the never changing plot. 5 Link to comment
AngelaHunter November 19, 2017 Share November 19, 2017 (edited) 13 minutes... so 9 bonus minutes of commercials and 4 of speechs?

Involving 3 months of television, all leading up to the final, huge dramatic moment of Carl getting his eye shot out....which...they never came back to. Maybe "The Big Scary U" has to do with that garbage woman. Sounds like something bizarre she would say. 4 Link to comment
shanndee November 19, 2017 Share November 19, 2017 Heavy sigh. Just how far do the ratings need to drop before TPTB realize that you can't force an audience to like something? Telling us the we "just don't understand" is enormously insulting. We understand. We simply don't like it. You can't force us to like it. Either course correct, or face another drop in viewership. But I guess that doesn't matter yet, since this is still one of the (possibly the single?) highest rated shows going... 5 Link to comment
Gobi November 19, 2017 Share November 19, 2017 I really, really hope that when Negan dies, someone shoots him in mid-sentence during a monologue. 16 Link to comment
Ms Lark November 19, 2017 Share November 19, 2017 I'll be skipping this one tonight and watching Poldark finale instead. Will check in with the boards tomorrow to see if it's worth watching at all. I'm with the rest of you, figure it will probably be 99% Negan monologuing! Would much prefer death by zombie. 2 Link to comment
CletusMusashi November 19, 2017 Share November 19, 2017 The title sounds like Coral is going away to college. But "U" probably just stands for "urine pants." 8 Link to comment

AllyS November 20, 2017 Share November 20, 2017 Well, I'm looking forward to tonight's episode! I am just thrilled they added 13 minutes more. I sure hope it's filled with Negan explaining himself, and FPP (or FSP's) asking for Negan's "confession" or redemption. Or, FPP just runs into the mass walker horde to spare himself. I know I would, and I have a few vodka and club sodas to prepare me for the hilarity which may ensue!!! (She says while shaking her head) 2 Link to comment

The show is still #1 on Cable, both in the coveted 18-49 demo and total viewers. It's also higher in that demo than any scripted show on broadcast TV, but it trails quite a few shows -- The Big Band Theory, This Is Us, and NCIS, among others -- when it comes to total viewers.
