He burned himself making the spaghetti and homely chick that got shot in the head patched him up. Carl took two of his men, so Negan took two as well.

I can't figure out why Negan didn't at least take Rosita captive. He took Daryl captive. He had Carl for a little while, at least. You can argue that Carl is a special case anyway.

He doesn't know Darryl left. As far as he knows, he still has his hostage and now a bonus hostage/bullet maker.

My favorite thing about all this is "Oh my God we can never beat Negan's compound, there's so many of them! And a zombie wall!"

... everyone proceeds to just walk in and out of the gate, which was only guarded by one fat guy who got lost. Seriously these people are so stupid if they could crew up some homemade C4 they could kill all of them with like 4 people.

I really want a wasteland show where people are far more clever. Ever see a home made bowling ball mortar, for example?

No, take her captive for trying to kill him. Daryl's escape is irrelevant.

I think episode rather definitively proved if had been, say, Tara AND Rosita, or hell let's crazy and say 3 or 4 other people in the crowd had handguns Negan and every one of his bodyguards would have been dead fifty times over and he has no backup plan in the TV show and that the only reason she had a single bullet made was for plot reasons from the get go. Hell it's only stupid plot reasons that they don't have stashed handguns already.

I mean it was obvious it was either: Going to be used to save Eugene or something, or fall into Negan's hands. It was way too ridiculous.

So who wants to bet when the war starts nobody modifiers their advertising friendly vehicles to be like Mad Max battle tanks, despite the fact that would totally be the smartest loving thing both sides could be doing, the middle east has shown you can tankify anything with like 0 resources aside from steel and spot welders.

I mean look at the vehicle the Saviors chucked into the compound. The ones they are driving should be like that, too.

I hope Rick is the one who makes a plan on how to dunk on ol' Negan.

Okay guys, here's the plan: There is a puddle full of zombies back where me and that stock gay guy were at. What we are gonna do is we are going to make ourselves some makeshift knives and then make some flutes with them. We are going to make all those puddle zombies follow the flute music all the way to Negan place and then he'll really be in trouble. Heh... He won't know what hit him.

So where does he live? Anyone know? Oh, what's that? You left a 20 meter trail of ketchup on the road to mark the way? Good thinking. Let's go and find that ketchup.

So, uh, why did Jesus want to leave that trail anyway? If he goes from their hideout back to Hilltop, he knows where it's at, unless he has goldfish memory. The trail just warns the Saviors that someone's trying to find the hideout.

Does Alexandria being completely hidden from Hilltop, the Kingdom and the Saviors for a year or whatever make sense in the comic?

Yes. As for why, I don't know, despite rewinding twice to figure out what was going on in that scene. Why did she execute her, and why was the read head seemingly at peace with it? Was the suggestion to hide the car so that Negan doesn't figure out who killed the redhead? I kept up with Westworld no problem, but characters on this show do things that don't make any immediate sense to the viewers all the time. Like, just recently, Spencer walking into the woods to find the bow, Michonne's overall plan and what motivated it, what Morgan was doing at Carol's. Some of these may be explained by the long gaps in between servicing certain stories, but others just seems to be really unclear writing.

I just figured she didn't like being a Savior. "There's always more" and all that. She was fine with dying if it meant not going back. She was even willing to make it easier for Michonne to not get caught.

That's kind of what I figured but there's a whole host of options from there. The world is treated like there's a radioactive zone outside of the communities we've seen - just run away, you have a drat car. Or try to take Negan out if you really don't care what happens to yourself. So many confusing things in service of keeping the big bad alive to keep the notion of an overall plot alive.

She didn't tell Michonne that she was running away though. She really didn't tell Michonne much of anything other than "there's a silencer in the glove compartment." Michonne realized she wasn't going to get anything important out of that woman so she just off'd her. Why she didn't tell Michonne that she was running away is still a mystery (if that's even the case).

Maybe she just thought "well nothing else anyone does in this show makes any loving sense, why should I?"

Well, it's not really the kind of world you want to be out alone in for long.

As for going to another community and offering Intel, the only communities she likely knows about are the ones Negan has control of. The Saviors would find her sooner or later. And she knows what Negan has on hand to throw against them.

And I'd imagine letting Michonne kill her was more of a sour of the moment thing and she didn't get up that pmorning thinking today is the day.

Also, the last four people who tried to leave are either dead or back with Negan again.

I guess. But Michonne was clearly suspicious that that was the case, since she started questioning her that way. Not following that up with an offer to trade intel for refuge doesn't make sense to me.

What is Negan's problem? Why does he kill people that pose no threat to him and let the ones who try to kill him keep living? How is this a good idea?

The only explanation I've found that keeps the series watchable is that Negan wants to die. He has ran out the thrill of women and murder, he desperately wants to see someone have the guts and capability to kill him.

This is all the Governor's fault because he was awesome and died before the creator was ready so Negan is kept stupidly safe to not make the same mistake, the key difference being the Governor wasn't stupid enough to be a total oval office.

That's what I've been saying ever since this plot arc started, just makes no drat sense. There's zero reason for Rick to not just load up a car with supplies, take Judith, Carl, and Michonne with him, and drive the gently caress away at night. They've already traveled from Georgia up to Virginia, so we know road travel is possible for significant distances. Just go back south, or even head out west.

Sure, Negan might follow, but if they left at night, Negan wouldn't know until his next visit to Alexandria. And even then has no idea which direction, or how far they've gone. It'd be impossible to ever find them.
