Sand zombies were kind of entertaining cause they were novel, but like, how the gently caress did they suddenly surround Dr. Dre and Tara? How were there like 20+ zombies that were unearthed by Tara pulling out a single backpack?

It would've been better writing if it were a few zombies and they took care of them then Tara slipped on a banana peel and fell in the water. But nope, now we've got teleporting sand zombies. :shrug:

IDK I thought they were a complete retread of the dirt zombie(s) that killed Tara's niece.

I'm tired and probably forgetting details but I thought the context was "Carl wants to go rile up the giant post-apocalyptic army out of his personal need to regain a sense of control and get revenge, and to vent his anger at something, and to hell with the worse consequences he'll bring down on literally everyone else that he claims he's doing this on behalf of, even after they begged him to not do this thing specifically because it'd trigger worse things happening to them. Also he'll probably get tortured/and or killed, or used as a bargaining chip, and that wouldn't be doing the others any favors either."


I mean, I get the overall conceit of what you're saying... but the writers refuse to just be straight forward sometimes. If Enid had said "look I know you want to kill him... he's a bad guy and we all want him dead. But we have to bide our time. If you do it now you'll likely only get killed yourself and anger him even further" then that would have worked. But nooooo the writers have to try to pass it off as some great human drama of internal turmoil and conflict. But they're unable to write even the simplest of clear sentences.

It would have made a lot more sense if Tara found something they were lacking in to, I don't know, create a trade deal? Instead, she decides to be cryptic and gently caress everything up. This is worse than when Eugene says poo poo is classified

Actually, I respectfully disagree with you there. For as obviously flawed as this game is, there ARE a lot of really good things about it. The presentation and atmosphere, for example, are the most immediate things. No other Yu-Gi-Oh game goes out of the way to really make

Because he made it into an image and put his name on it like he's making some sort of profound statement... instead of just saying "hey Glenn said that back in a different season. Neat."

It is just how Reddit works, basically every thought needs it's own thread. If that had been noticed here someone would have just said, "Hey I noticed a cool call back". People would have said, "oh neat" and then moved on with discussion. On reddit though it needs to be a photo or no one cares, and everyone puts their names on poo poo so when it GOES VIRAL they get their e-cred. So it makes it seem like every idiot on there is making a huge deal about a thing they notice.

My favorite part was when the leader told Tara they wanted her because she was a great fighter and smart. Her people had worse aim than stormtroopers and she overpowered one person who stupidly confronted her at close distance despite having superior firepower and backup.

But this is the show that had an obviously extremely pregnant in real life but not on the show Tara last season and made no attempt at all to mask it.

Negan really went soft on Rick's group. I wonder how viciously the fishing group fought against Negan. Whatever they did resulted in every male being killed. Rick completely slaughtered one of Negan's outposts and Negan's punishment was to randomly kill one of them.

The man doesn't seem to be consistent with his punishments. That's no way to treat your children.

It kinda seemed like they were going to reveal that Rick's people had killed all of the men from the beach crew. That would have thrown some moral ambiguity into their relationship, but no, apparently it was just Negan because he's totally evil.

I like how they knew all about the SAME outpost.

And yeah, if that was Negan's response then, it's hilarious he only killed a couple people now. A more clever show would explain this by saying that was Negan's turning point, that after that slaughter he ended up losing the whole community's productivity so he scaled it back a bit to stop that from happening again.

This show is not that clever.

If you think Negan is making good decisions, holy poo poo. Dude keeps giving weapons to people because he's so sure they won't kill him when in reality, oh boy would he have died a dozen settlements ago. He's been a massive idiot. Hilariously despite coming from the same writing team, his right hand Trevor is being far, far smarter about everything he does. Dude keeps armed people in the room with him, only talks to someone in private with an army outside, and is ten times as frightening. It's really funny, really.

All it would take to end Negan is just one person who doesn't give a gently caress and has a gun. Hell, Carl would probably kill him next episode if not for his immense plot armor.

ED: I really do wish there was an alternate gag-reel take where he comes up and starts doing his arrogant-act to Spencer and Spencer, being a dipshit, just pulls his sidearm and puts a shot between his eyes. I don't even know how the gently caress ANYONE would have reacted to it. Hell, if they armed all of Alexandria they probably could have killed Negan and all his men, and yeah, good luck keeping their army together after that.

If this was Game of Thrones I think Negan would have been lead into town to pick up what was his and then be lit up by snipers in every loving house.

How's everyone expecting the half season to end? I'm going with "cliffhanger where Carl might die" followed by a two episode Negan flashback origin story and nothing happens to Carl when the next half opens. Eugene might say something funny, but probably not, because he's sad now.

Useless background character who was never important until that episode dies, which is somehow the final straw to bring back Rick's fighting spirit. Also Daryl breaks out and steals back his awful vest and motorcycle.
