As if he didn't already have enough on his plate, Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) also had a fake attack plan "smuggled" to Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and the Hilltop coalition to set them up for a one final, major ambush – and as he tells Michonne (Danai Gurira) after she reads Carl's letter to him, this[...]
With the inevitable final battle between the Saviors and the Hilltop coalition looming, Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Rosita (Christian Serratos) realize their Savior problem has a name: Eugene (Josh McDermitt); Aaron (Ross Marquand) continues his Oceanside recruitment drive; and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Dwight (Austin Amelio) get to spend a little "quality time" together.
And[...]

For those who saw Bleeding Cool's review of the 14th episode of The Walking Dead season 8, you know how we felt about Rick finally finding himself in the right place to take Michonne's advice and read Carl's letter. And now you can too.
Meanwhile, Jadis (Pollyanna McIntosh) is trying to figure out how to solve a problem like Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) – and then there's that matter of the the helicopter…

By the time last week's 'Do Not Send Us Astray' wrapped up, we'd witnessed firsthand a whole ton of developments that will play major roles in how "All Out War" comes to a head on AMC's The Walking Dead:

So last week, we had the first stage in the final battle between the Saviors and the Hilltop coalition, with both sides suffering major losses along the way…with the Hilltop witnessing firsthand the effects of Negan's (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) bio-warfare agianst them in the form of a literal "night of the living dead."
Dwight (Austin[...]
While Maggie (Lauren Cohan), Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and the rest of the Hilltop forces were able to repel Simon (Steven Ogg) and Saviors first assault during last Sunday's episode of AMC's The Walking Dead, there were major causalities on both sides as our heroes horrifically discovered the impact of Negan's (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) new walker[...]
With the series seeing a surge in both ratings and positive reactions from viewers, the series appears to be going for a soft reboot based on how different the look and vibe of the show is from the trailer; enhanced by the addition of some interesting new faces.

Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) got into a little fender-bender that resulted in some long-distance road rage; a flaming Lucille; Negan almost going the "Rick-in-the-comics" route; and the revelation that things may not be as "kumbaya" in the Saviors camp as Negan thought they were.
Speaking of Saviors, Simon (Steven Ogg) has[...]

Now that we're done being easy like Sunday mornin', it's time once again for Bring Out Your Dead!: Bleeding Cool's The Walking Dead Live-blog! After what can best be described as "uneven" episode last week, the war between Negan's (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) Saviors and Rick's (Andrew Lincoln) coalition elevates to some gruesome "biological warfare" levels with[...]
After a strong post-Carl episode last week, AMC's The Walking Dead came storming back with an episode that was... eh. And by "eh," I'm basically saying it didn't do much to move things forward and pretty much just spun its wheels for an hour.
On the other side, we've got Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) all giddy over his new "coat our weapons with zombie crap" plan as Eugene (Josh McDermitt) toils away in a sea of wine and self-hatred as he builds more weapons for the Saviors.
So this week's episode of AMC's The Walking Dead is no better time[...]

Even AMC's The Walking Dead finds itself facing a foe that's tough to defeat; and it looks like the combined might of Rick (Andrew Lincoln), Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Michonne (Danai Gurira) – with an army of walkers at their sides – can't overcome this one: the Oscars.
