I mean, it's the same as Carl pointing an AR right in Negan's face and not pulling the trigger. It was ridiculous it didn't happen then, it was ridiculous when it didn't happen now. But, storylines and stuff. [Reply]
I see how this is going to end. It looks like Rick is gong to barge in on the women's camp next week and then We're going to be faced with only the beginning of the Negan showdown for the finale. Next season will be about the war. I wish you guys could see my eyeroll.
I find myself getting sick of the long/boring story lines and am no longer anticipating the next episode. Maybe it's running its course and it's 15 minutes of fame are up. Becoming too predictable and non-engaging. [Reply]
They need to spin off and stop being tied to the comic sooner than later. The governor stuff is a good example. The show governor is >>>>> comic governor. [Reply]

The only thing that made this episode worthwhile was the scene with Daryl & Maggie talking about Glenn. A quiet scene between two long term characters that was shot perfectly and written very well. [Reply]

I didn't know any of that and I doubt the average fan does either. Though I think it was obvious Neegan wasn't going to be killed. That said, a bit saddened that Rosita may not be gone. Her characters been a real bore for a while
I sort of think Gregorys "conversation" with Simon won't go as he suspects. While the saviours might be willing to kill a bunch of subversives, I'm not sure they'll be interested in moving forward with a leader that can't control the situation. [Reply]
I thought it was ok. Not great but there have been much worse this season. Would have been cool if they plugged Eugene in the head the minute he started sniveling. [Reply]

Eugene will work it from the inside when the time comes. [Reply]
Seems like Eugene would be happier with Negan. Everybody in Rick's group took him for granted, and the only person who gave him encouragement, Abraham, isn't there. He didn't fit in.
With Negan, he has comfort and status, and his abilities are being put to good use. He's also allowed to do what he's good at and not get pigeonholed into fighting.
At this point, I don't see much point in him playing a long con. [Reply]

After reading this, I am more on Negans side. At least he maximizes his people's skills. Rick's group had smarty-mullet doing stuff that a half-wit can do. [Reply]

I would have cheered.
:-)... *startles awake*... oh hey, yeah I fell asleep last night about 8:15 and just now woke up
You're absolutely right, Eugene should've dropped the dime on those bitches... sooo sick of this show devoting 90% of the last several episodes to a woman or two
They had female viewers hooked a long time ago, theres no need to cater to them constantly... last night was nothing but a damn soap opera [Reply]
