I liked that everyone just stood around and listened as Spencer laid out his betrayal plans to Negan. The rest of the community obviously werent to fussed about offing Ricky.

That image people wanted to see from the preview of spike zombie.

I'm pretty sure the shots of everyone looking at each other was a callback to the opening of this season, with everyone's face shown before Negan picks who to kill.

I love that Rick kept an empty holster this whole time. I also like that they swerved from Gabriel doing his "bible verse while executing you" tired Battle Priest shtick that happens in so much media (and last season, I think it was - this show feels like it's been running forever). He actually had some cool characterization this episode even if Negan is 100% right about him being "creepy as poo poo". I tried to play a drinking game whenever Negan leans and was doing pretty good until Spencer started distracting him from playing pool.

Episode highlights were Michonne explaining how plot armor works to Rick and the last 20 minutes where everyone stood around smiling at each other in slow motion as low rent Hans Zimmer swelled in the background.

I rate this episode four out of five Dexters.

No mention of how loving dumb Aaron's beatdown was? It takes 2 seconds to explain what happened but we need a scene of Rick realizing the deal isn't going to work so all Aaron can muster is "Blub uhhhh bugg" before getting his rear end kicked. And, again, if Nega's people are really that psycho and short-tempered, how has no one snapped and killed Negan during one of his insult comic sets?

They could have just had them beating Aaron up for no reason, there didn't even need to be a note or whatever. It would have made more sense.

Oh good, a whole season of what everyone knew was going to happen anyway. Also I guess I was wrong they killed off minor characters.

I do kinda get why people don't gently caress with Negan. Because even if you've given up and don't care about your life and try and attack, Negan doesn't kill you in retaliation. He might beat the poo poo outta you, then make you watch while his crew kills your friend(s).

But how many seasons of "rick and his crew face a challenge, they have their own adventures, they overcome the challenge."

I kinda wish they would just wait until one night, pack up all their poo poo and people in to all their cars and trucks, light alexandria on fire and just drive west until they get to the prairies and make a compound on a small hill where they can see for miles. Lots of farm land and livestock out that way.

Because they see his plot armor.

The best thing about these last few episodes it's it's a race as to see which stupid plan is the stupidest. You have:

--Rosita's One Bullet

--Commando Carl

--Michonne's Car Jacking

- If only she had, like, made MORE bullets she could have fired twice and killed him! It's almost as if one bullet was a dumb idea since people survive being shot all the time!
- Would have worked if plot armor didn't make the trigger impossible to pull..
- I love how the woman riding with her was so utterly suicidal she just casually and (sounding almost bored) told her how to kill her quietly

It wouldn't even be that bad if it was predictable as long as it made sense. But Rick's people didn't listen, people he didn't really care that much about died because of it, now Rick wants to fight? What the gently caress? If anything, Rick should be yelling at his own crew.

He really should be thanking Negan and meaning it this time for bringing his stupid son back unharmed.

"Ha ha that Daryl, bashing in my men's head! I LIKE HIM! Let's find him and continue trying to break him with no repercussions for his escape whatsoever!"

From what I've seen of Negan so far I'm surprised he didn't give them a promotion for murdering all his people in the first place.

ED: Not joking, the way events took place I seriously think this is like Day 12 or something. Not only has all this happened but Hilltop wants to elect Maggie for President. I almost wish she'd run as political satire instead of seriously; her only talking point is "Remember when I crushed that car? I will keep on crushing cars, for you, with my unique talent to operate farm equipment!" It could be her version of GW repeating 'terror' over and over.

But how else would they have dedicated a full episode to Daryl being sad?

I think they wanted to put him through hell but like I said before, other than the murders that started the whole thing, I think like 7 days of living in a cell with lovely food and bad music is probably less terrible than some frat hazings

Oh one last thing.. it seems like they are trying to setup Sasha and Rosita as a couple now.

However, I laughed so loving hard when it was supposed to be a reveal, because she's reading off all of why he friends are capable and Gabriel goes 'And Sasha?' and she's just silent. They meant it for drama, but it ended up being a comedy 'Yep, most worthless character' moment and left me thinking, "Yeah, I can't think of anything either."

Think you might have misread that scene a little. Gabriel was asking why it had to be Rosita to do the killing and Rosita says it's because everyone that cared about her is dead. Gabriel is pointing out that Sasha is in the same boat since she lost her brother and two boyfriends and Sasha isn't moping around planning suicide by bat.

I know "suspension of disbelief" and all that, but Rosita was, what, 6-7 feet from Negan, drew and aimed over about 3 seconds, and somehow managed to hit the 3" wide baseball bat instead of any part of Negan?

Meanwhile Negan's girl turns, draws and shoots the provisioner woman through the head when she's standing a good 15-20 feet away, on an elevated porch, in the space of a second, practically over her shoulder.

Why couldn't they at least show Rosita's bullet hitting Lucille? The bat didn't even look damaged for gently caress's sake.

The impact from the bullet should have made Lucille whip back and hit Negan in the face, giving someone an opportunity for a "don't hit yourself" joke.

I just realized this scene meant that Negan was the kind of nut who when after being shot at, would actually raise his baseball bat to block a bullet instead of ducking and getting the gently caress out of dodge, like any other normal person.
