The Walking Dead

Could be any number of reasons. 9 seasons is a really fucking long time. For actors who are really into the job of acting, sometimes they just want stuff that is new. It could have also been contract negotiations. We don't have all the details, but I wouldn't have been surprised if he just wasn't happy with what AMC was trying to push and decided to cut out.

Show is fucking dead now. I would be shocked if season 10 isn't the final season. I mean, who headlines the show now? Daryl? Michonne? Daryl's character has become pretty lame past couple seasons and Michonne has been a pretty big non-factor this past season.

Fuck it. Negan is the new leader!

That would be awesome, but how the fuck do they write that in without it seeming like total bullshit? lol

At this point, who cares? I say go crazy.

they should have a huge heard come through, kill everyone but like 5 people
Ga has a coastline, have them go visit the beach or something

but, they have just built some big set pieces so they will probably be in Alexandria till the show ends

Alexandria is gone, they burned it down in the show.

they are building stuff where Alexandria was

also, in the application for building permit, the will only be there for 3 years

Sure. But I also know that with my experience if I wanted a job that paid equally as well I could find one with a little effort. His acting resume isn't that deep. What's he going to do buss tables?

He must have seriously hated it.

Would not surprise me if it partially had something to do with Chandler Riggs. He and his father both came out and said AMC screwed him over. I would guess as it has been said that after 9 years he wants to do other things also. Would be funny if he shows back up in Strike Back alive somehow. After watching Fear this year, I have lost all interest in the characters of TWD anyways.

he and his wife probably have enough to be comfortable. kids are like 10-14 and he wants to spend time with them
sorta like Rick Moranis but on a lot better terms.

Norman Reedus Eyes $20M-Plus New Deal

I'm actually shocked Fear didn't pick up more this season. The format and story ( culling of the original cast one by one ) is worlds better than seasons 1-3 imo. With Travis and Nick dead and appears the Maddison may be as well. Once it is past how it all happened I think it'll be ok.



Looks like Daryl may become the TWD Morgan that he is now in Fear.

Here is TWD ratings

i am little behind on FTW so been staying out of that thread.
think if Madison is dead, the ratings will tank
Her and Victor are the only 2 good characters
Nick was barely ok to terrible
Alicia is meh
Cowboy John is blah
Morgan is still a mess
Maggie Grace needs to be better eye candy

actually surprised S3 was so stable

They are saying that AMC is throwing money at Norman Reedus to keep the show going. As much as I like Daryl's character, he isn't anything w/ out Rick. Their dynamic is what made each character special. Not only that, but Daryl is waaay too stoic to fill in Rick's boots.

apparently Michonne contract is up at end of season 9 too

guess she is in a good place to demand a big check or happily walk away

She is going to be busy with Black Panther 2 and Avengers 4 as well, so I suspect she'll be limited in availability unless AMC backs up the Brinks truck.

I doubt they will. I am already shocked they offered Norman that much money. AMC loves their money.

Right, if ratings continue to go into the toilet, they'll probably decide to cut their losses and end it vs. overpaying.

show could still loose another 60% of the live viewers and it would still be AMC's biggest show.
75% if you don't count FTWD
that would be like 85% loss from season 5
would think it has another 3 years at least, maybe less if they follow the book
they could break from the books and go to being action/adventure and do better
than enter into yet another "epic" war / society building
-
Daryl is an ok actor, the writing for him this last season or so has been shit
Michonne seems terrible and wooden, reportedly she make less than a million per season
she is talking about making African films or something now

-
after Daryl and Michonne, who do they have left

Carol, Tara, Eugene, Dwight, Rosita, Ezekiel, and Gabriel are all weak/minor/annoying

Aaron and Jesus seem to be the best candidates and have the most charisma,
sorta funny, for next season, appears Aaron is going rugged while Jesus is cleaning up.

Negan probably 2nd or 3rd in currently popularity
already hearing fanfic hope, that when rick dies, Negan can come in and save the day to redeem himself
but don't think he would work with Daryl around
