    One of the problems some viewers had with The Walking Dead's seventh season was how under-utilised Carol Peletier was.

    The fan-favourite character spent nearly a whole season isolating herself from everybody, holing up in an abandoned house. She had little influence on the narrative, and there were only small glimpses of her former self.

    But good news: it seems the upcoming season eight will rectify that problem.

    It sounds like the "bottle episodes" fans of The Walking Dead loathed in the show's seventh season won't be a problem in Season 8.

    The Walking Dead showrunner Scott Gimple has been surprisingly open about the events of the upcoming season, including the widespread focus on more characters fans can expect when the show returns. The "bottle episodes," as fans call them, which have a singular focus on certain characters and eliminate screen time for other fan-favorites won't bog down the series after Episode 100.

    “Because of the narrative that we’re following … the story this season is really spread out among all of the characters," Gimple told TVLine. "And the story shifts quite a bit in single episodes between lots of different characters on a consistent basis, which is a little more unusual for the show.”

    Season 7 of The Walking Dead was burdened with balancing a huge number of communities and characters. Rather than tell their stories simultaneously through each episode, the series elected to visit one location per week, often leaving Rick Grimes and other major characters off the show for weeks at a time.

    They're finally allowed to say the ? F-word on The Walking Dead

    A lot of the basic rules of society fell apart when the zombies took over on AMC’s The Walking Dead, which is why some characters on the show suddenly feel like it’s alright to wear ? clothes, go a long time without shaving, and occasionally murder and eat fellow human survivors. Still, Rick and his friends have managed to avoid one hallmark of a thoroughly impolite society: cussing. Even with the arrival of Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s Negan—a character who says “? ” every other word in the Walking Dead comics—everybody has avoided dropping a dreaded F-bomb. Unfortunately for the ears of selectively sensitive Walking Dead fans, though, that’s now going to change.

    Walking Dead spin-off Fear The Walking Dead was actually the first one to break what we’re going to call the “? barrier,” with Frank Dillane’s character saying the F-word in a recent episode, and Fear showrunner Dave Erickson tells ComicBook.com that AMC recently agreed to let his show get away with two F-words per season. This new rule apparently applies to regular The Walking Dead as well, and though Erickson doesn’t know when this policy was put in place, he seems happy to benefit from it and has promised that Fear will use another “? ” at some point. Meanwhile, other popular AMC shows have been enjoying their cussing for years, with Preacher, Breaking Bad, Halt And Catch Fire, and Mad Men all getting some chances to say “? .”

    Still, at least Rick and the gang will now have another weapon they can use in their never-ending fight against the undead. Who knows, maybe a good “? you, zombies” is all they needed to turn things around for humanity.

    S8 is make or break for me for this show.

    8 seasons in they gotta start taking some real risks, do some new ? .

    They really only killed off Sasha cuz she was leaving to star in star trek. And Negan putting her in a coffin made zero sense.

    There better be some payoff the Eugene's character arc. I doubt it tho.

    They cant be so predicable. Like focusing on some new character jus b4 they die etc

    They cant be afraid to ? of main characters. Shake ? up. 8 seasons into the zombie apocalypse, no one should be safe.
