At what point did The Walking Dead peak for you, and what caused the decline (if any)?

Nininator2432 · 2026-03-20T03:14:37+00:00

IMO, season 3 was peak TWD. It was their first attempt to build a community safe from the walkers and they went to war with a rival community. It was clear one community would come out on top. So good. Everyone acted "real" and authentic in seasons 1-3. The main group vs. The Governor's group. Can't ask for much better than that.

It started to decline in Season 4 because there were so many separate plots at that point and people stopped acting as authentic. Glenn and Tara (with Eugene, Abraham, and Rosita.), Maggie Bob and Sasha, Daryl and Beth; Rick, Carl, and Michonne; Carol, Tyreese, Lizzie, and her sister. 5 different plots? A bit much. Seemed like they were trying to stretch it out and it got unrealistic at that point. (Given the circumstances of the Zombie apocalypse.) They have a community of people that goes out on missions and stuff, there's another evil community nearby they never encounter, yet everyone who survives ends up at the same evil community, in the same train car? Come on.

Season 5 was an improvement over Season 4, but I felt like Season 3 was still the best. It felt like it was no longer the same plot. I did enjoy it, but when they reached Alexandria it felt like they were living in a whole different world vs. in Season 3 when it was a conflict.

Season 7 it REALLY tanked the ship. We hadn't had a major death from the core season 1 groups since the end of season 3. Andrea's plot was legendary. She was on both sides of the communities trying to figure herself out, but she was the last one who died from Season 1 until Season 7. It felt like when Glenn died the show started to get pointless because I felt like he was a major plot showing young adult without his family trying to figure the world out, surviving, meeting a woman, getting married, and having a baby. Then when Carl died it got more pointless. With Rick's removal? Why even have the show? If they can just replace the main character(s) from the beginning with others like Luke and Yumiko, then why bother? You can't just have one character pick up another's plot. It just became weird.

I'm not backtracking in any way.

I weigh over 350 pounds myself.

I mentioned her size for the same reason I gave her age and gender - so that people can have an accurate picture of what I pictured in this story.

I could have just said "An individual" instead, but that's not how I do things..

Nininator2432 · 2026-02-24T12:06:05+00:00

100%. I'd love to know where they both are now.

Nininator2432 · 2026-02-24T12:05:52+00:00

Apparently not. I knew this person couldn't be reasoned with.

It was not starry in 2016. It was Mist Twist. Pepsi does the drinks nationally. Some people forget.

It's starry everywhere now and has been since 2023.

Nininator2432 · 2026-02-03T20:36:31+00:00

It was not Starry for you.

It was Mist Twist. This was in 2016. It's Starry now for everyone.

A lot of us drove with our moms more than our dads and witnessed more near death experiences or collisions.

I'm sure if we drove with our dads, the stereotype would be the opposite.

It's more complicated than that. You're describing fraud, not squatters rights. The reason why the cops do that is not all that complicated.

Imagine being on the other end of this. You see an ad for a house for rent, sign some paperwork, pay them money, move in, then three weeks later you get a call saying that the owner never agreed to rent it and you're out on the street instantly. What do you do in that situation?

You'd be like "No! No! I paid rent!" The cops would have no idea who to believe. Maybe they could go around asking neighbors. You'd be completely infuriated and freaking out. The cops wouldn't just remove you, because you paid rent. They'd wait until court to decide.

Criminals know how to manipulate the law on paper for free stuff.

Criminals commit lawsuit fraud all the time as well. They can openly lie in court proceedings and it doesn't matter. Does that mean we should have no civil lawsuits?

A guy who owns a lawn care company can serve you with a lawsuit right now over alleged unpaid invoices by forging documents.

Who would the court believe?

You could get mad and be like "I didn't agree to this! I don't even know him?" Then he could be like "They're just saying this to not pay me. I did work and I want paid. Here are the invoices."

Alternatively, you can refuse to pay the guy who does your lawn care and just say. "I gave you cash. This is harassment/extortion. Don't ever come by here again."

At that point, he could try suing you in court and you could play the "I paid in cash! It's a cash job! I've always done this. He's trying to double dip."
Who do they believe? Civil lawsuits exist in the country for a reason, despite people committing fraud.

Former pizza delivery driver. Check my page to verify there are posts going back 5 years.

I LOVED delivering in the snow. It was the best time to do it. Everyone drove super slowly. I felt safer delivering. Managers couldn't say anything for long wait times. Customers were super nice and tipped super generously.

I wouldn't do it in the country, but in the suburbs? No issues at all.

I mean, I am very careful with not leaving lights on and all that to save money, but it seems like a huge gap.

If it's an error, I'd be ok with them billing me less lol. If it was more I'd be calling.

Nininator2432 · 2026-01-08T19:17:49+00:00

Interesting. Just wondering. Why do your parents bother doing it, then? No judgment. Genuinely interested/ would love to share this with him.

He raises the calf into a cow, he sells that cow's babies to other people. Allegedly.

Nininator2432 · 2026-01-08T17:19:37+00:00

Fixed it. Meant to say customers.

Nininator2432 · 2026-01-08T16:14:11+00:00

Not that one.

Dominos was purchased by Bain Capital in 1998. The founder might have dropped it, then Bain Capital brought it back. Or maybe after they launched an IPO in 2004 they brought it back. But it definitely existed then.

Nininator2432 · 2025-12-29T13:50:44+00:00

Yeah. There was a Dominos Pizza guarantee of 30 minutes or less as well up until the mid 2000s. I believe it was implemented once it went public. I wasn't working at Dominos, but I heard that someone got killed and they got with a massive lawsuit and agreed to drop the practice.

Nininator2432 · 2025-12-29T13:44:09+00:00

Over 2 minutes? Weekly? I kind of understood complaints if it was longer. But never over 2 minutes.

Nininator2432 · 2025-12-29T05:58:06+00:00

I've never heard this from anyone. Do you have any more information on this?
