Heat rises, dummy. The flames only affected the top of the room and all the cool air rushed down and protected his torso and legs.

The bigger question is how Carol turned invisible. I mean, we heard her talking and swinging on the porch at the end of the show but we didn't see her. Maybe the cigarettes caused a mutation? Were those special cigarettes from that lady? I hope Carol doesn't start coughing like her, too.

I guess I buy that, but it seems like the kind of thing that shouldn't be left for the viewer to understand.

Actually, now that you mention it, I bet he was burned on his lower half as well. That's why Eugene bit down on his junk, he couldn't resist the smell of flame-broiled meat!

Here's my current theory:
In case Poe's Law's in effect here and you are actually serious: Dwight wasn't in the Kill Room ya dingus!

Its not meant to be that black and white. Its mercy and kindness are a luxury that we strive for to remain 'human' but to survive in a world of ruthless, nihilistic people we have to act accordingly first before we can even consider the alternative.

It's cold, hard pragmatism. Its simply not practical to be kind to everybody in that type of world.


Most of the good aspects of the show are the ones that come closest to what happens in the graphic novel.

Couldn't say any of this any better. The lovely side effect for us is that since everyone on the planet seems to have taken to this barbarism as a default, you lose decent characters like Denise. I didn't expect her to die when she did, and I was a little bothered to see her go, but only because they chose not to develop her until pretty much this episode. If they had given her some more personality or depth beforehand, her death's impact would've been greater. If they never gave her depth at all, her death would've meant nothing to me.

But as far as the comics go, you're totally right.. the best parts of the show are the parts that got a 1:1 translation. I dunno if I'd want that for Negan's entrance, though. That might be too much for this PG-14 universe.

Why do people think this episode is good? It was a poo poo episode with some funny comedic relief and a single WHOA moment :shrug:

Every character acted completely out of character. I guess they needed to pack all the incredible stupidity that the rest of this half season has been missing into a single episode?

Because when you give people nothing but barren sand to live off (the first half of the season), they're willing to eat poo poo to survive when things get desperate (this half).

Frankly, nothing really made me go: "Yeah! Season redeemed, I'm totes watching more of this claptrap in future seasons after this one!" yet. When the action starts, it's moderately interesting, but when there isn't any I just feel complete disconnect with any character by this point (even Carol, now that they decided to have her get infected by Morgan's self-doubts) and, really, my one and only hope is that Negan saves the whole thing with the last episode or two, but frankly,...I'm not holding out much hope for that either. It really feels like this show's lost a lot of its soul with this season - does anyone know if they did a massive switcharound in regards to the writers/producers/directors? Cause drat, it sure feels that way.

LOL, okay. Sure, we see that Daryl can hardly push his bike through the woods it's so heavy and you want me to believe that this skinny guy lifted it and his bow?! He can't even handle the recoil on the crossbow, how is he going to lift a big rear end motorcycle.





I know people are saying he wasn't in the room, that's one theory(and quite possibly the correct one), but it doesn't mean it's the only plausible explanation.

I think AMC sets up these moments to see how the audience reacts. If everyone wants him to not have been in the kill room then they will probably flip their script to make people happy.

Was Dwight's face already marred up when he initially stole the bow/bike?

Edit: But no, seriously. He wasn't in the kill room. Had nothing to do with that night. Dwight's got a big ol' backstory with Negan, written precisely on the left side of his face. We have yet to find out about all of that on the TV show.

No. He wasn't in the kill room.

Dwight and Honey were escaping from the saviours in their previous episode. They will have twisted the script slightly (possibly) so that he is punished for leaving with the burn to his face (if this wasn't done before. I can't remember now) and like I said Negan rules with fear and will have tasked D with bringing in part of the Alexandria group dead or alive.

Even though Daryl helped Dwight in the other episode he has no option but to do as he's told because he's scared of the consequences if he doesn't. The whole "I should have killed you" "Yeah you probably should have" part of the convo isn't meant to be malicious on dwight's part. It's more of a; if you had I wouldn't have to be doing this type moment. He has to do this to survive.

That's my take anyway. It's probably going to be wrong, especially with how thickly he laid into not meaning to hit denise and implying he was trying to hit daryl. Only time will tell.

It wasn't. Since then I've only seen three fires on screen, he was either in the kill room, took a glancing blow from Daryl's RPG(could be why he's so pissed at Daryl?), or he was potentially hiding in the pond that they set on fire in Alexandria(scouting for the Neegans?). Of those I think the kill room is probably the most likely.

I doubt it, only because she's not the only gay character on the show. Now, if they picked off Tara, Aaron, Aaron's invisi-boyfriend, (and Daryl??) in quick succession, then you might have a riot on your hands.

Exactly. Dwight & Co lifted Daryl's bike and crossbow while running from Negan and the Saviors. When the Survivors go to the Savior outpost and kill everyone in their sleep, a random dude rides out on Daryl's bike, which is when Daryl gets it back. So, that means when Dwight & Co were running, they were NOT successful, and they were returned to Savior territory (along with the motorcycle), and Dwight received a heavy (OFF-screen) punishment.

Dwight isn't a main character. These burns don't have to come from something we have seen.

and they wiped everybody out in that room. Hence why it was aptly named 'kill room' they werent there to leave survivors.

Last on-topic post I'll make, and gently caress spoiler tags because gently caress all of you: Dwight's face gets loving BURNED BY NEGAN because Dwight fucks HIS wife, who is now also NEGAN'S wife. This clearly happens some time between the scene you linked and the scene where Dwight arrows the doctor, which is why Dwight did NOT escape the Saviors, which is why the motorcycle is back WITH the Saviors, which is why Dwight is running WITH the Saviors still. That's the storyline. That's how it goes. Dwight will tell this story at a later date to make you hate Negan even more.
