I may have missed it but has this new group revealed what idiotic term they refer to the zombies as? I'd like to think it can't be worse than bobbers but I'm sure it is.
That would have been great if when Negan showed up, he just called them zombies and laughed at the main characters when they said "walkers."

He will no doubt be replaced by someone more "energetic", which will in turn set off a chain of events which leads to the kingdom joining the war.

Someone will shoot the tiger, which will set Ezekiel off, finally. But not before the show has exhausted all the possible permutations.

It's so funny. I keep watching this show and like for some reason I'm entertained but the whole time I'm like "this is trash" and "this moment is so dumb."

And then I come here and like 50% of the thread can't follow even basic clues. "WHAT IS RICK SMILING AT?"

I thought Rick was smiling because:

1. He just found more cannon fodder for his fight with The Saviors
2. He was right about Gabriel

I think most folk have caught on that the season premier, mid-end season episodes and season finale are pretty much all you need to give a drat about. Losing good, lovable characters didn't help either. The Saviors war will probably only start either at the end of this season and drag out till the end of S8. Honestly I should join the smart folk but it's still better than FTWD and I'm a sucker for this dumb drawn out show.

The way they are building up Carol you would think she can take on the Saviors solo and since this is a comic book adaption it seems like the logical step.

Admittedly I wasn't paying that much attention, but it looked like Gabriel was loving about in the pantry all by himself. I didn't see anyone else at least.

At the very end when he was driving away someone else popped up in the passenger seat. It was barely noticeable because it was so dark. Then, quick cut to the opening credits. It was a blink and you missed it moment.

I actually kind of like the direction the last couple episodes have been going in. A lot of it is ridiculous and dumb but it's fun and this new group is like the epitome of that. Their whole premise is ridiculous and the way they talk, I'm surprised the leader didn't introduce herself as Jadis kom Trashkru.

But at least this is entertaining for me, unlike most of what I've seen from the show over the last year or two. I liked the stupid zombie clothesline from the previous episode, that The Kingdom is getting more airtime, and the hosed up cenobite of a walker Rick had to fight. I don't even care if most of it doesn't make any goddamn sense.

She's a size queen in Filth and also gets naked in The Woman (not in a nice way) if you're interested.

I've just sat through the entirety of the show, getting caught up from series 1 and I'm enjoying 7 more than any of the others. I guess it's because what's fun to me is the relationships between what's left after the apocalypse and the Saviours give more of a hopeless feeling than the stuff that you got from Woodberry. I also like the idea that there's a proper endgame. I'm not used to watching enormous serials that go on for series after series with no end point so having Negan and the Saviours there works a bit better for me.

However, not enough time's passed since the apocalypse. It's what, two years? How the gently caress are these people speaking so weirdly and how have things like the Kingdom and etc formed in that time? I know it doesn't matter but I think it'd be better if it was maybe a decade or two since everything happened.

The Kingdom makes more sense than the garbagemen. There was a bunch of demoralized people basically waiting to die, then a dude with huge dreads and a loving tiger shows up, uses his Shakespearean training to rouse them out of their stupor, and they all go along with it. It's an act, but they all know it's an act.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that the Kingdom is stupid. It's more that all the arrangements with the Saviours feel like things that have been going on for a long time and slowly getting worse but there's just not been enough time for that to happen.

The garbagemen is totally beyond it though. There's so many of them and they've all lived as part of the normal world, why do they have their own language already?

That's the thing. It's not even a safe place. The Wolves just stormed it and the Garbage McPoyles could sneak in and steal their one guard. And if you are going to survive by looting food then move to a metropolitan area where the food stores are located.

They do in fact have military police offices and armed security as well as a built in SWAT unit in the Pentagon and given its a military installation the chances they have some tactical gear in the event of an emergency are high. Or at the least theres some dead army zombies wandering around that still have a sidearm holstered in their belt.

Also the Pentagon is an absolutely massive building with very secure entry points that would be easier to fortify and defend than a dozen houses surrounded by sheetmetal barriers. The garden in the middle is big enough to grow crops and there would be tons of canned goods because it has like 10 cafeterias and emergency generators and such. It's also right next to the Potomac River and there's a massive flat parking lot that surrounds all sides so there's no way to sneak up on it.

The Pentagon would be possibly the best place imaginable to hold down in a zombie apocalypse. The building can survive a 737 flying directly into it with minimal damage, so

It's in the middle of a major metropolitan area so it's surrounded by hundreds of thousands of zombies, and the show established that military bases were completely overrun.

They stopped thinking about logical easily defendable locations immediately after leaving the prison. Now all they seem to care about is having the comforts of home.

The Pentagon would be good theoretically but don't you think everyone in the vicinity would have thought of that already? It'd either be overrun or be like the CDC (at first) with some guy(s) holed up in it that won't let you in. The answer to "why don't they go check" or "why don't they go live on a ship, or on this military base or this castle or...." is "because it's a dumb comic book show". Any sense of semi-realistic survival the show once had is way back in the pre-governor era. Ever since it's all super villains and up up ups and I guarantee it's going to continue getting a whole lot dumber until the show gets cancelled.

And Aaron, as the most attractive male, will be up-up-up'd by the most beautiful women of the Junkyard. Then the large women. Then the petite women. Then the large women again.
