Okay, so maybe this is how that works out:
A military/scientific compound is doing creepy experiments to see if humans can live among zombies. They need "alphas" and "betas" like that debunked wolf pack theory. One group of "whisperers" (the name for the test subjects) breaks free of the compound's walls and becomes the next antagonists.

That's the only way I could see it connecting and yeah, it sounds pretty dumb, lol.

I thought that all the way back when she was introduced because it made sense with their dumbass speaking style, her weirdass lieutenants and her horrible haircut.

Buuuuuut nahhhhh, they threw all that out the window and also cast someone else for the role:

By the way, I'm certainly not saying that all Asian male actors look alike, but was anyone distracted by "not-Glenn" seated next to Maggie while they were driving the cart? Why would they cast an Asian actor who has a goatee and similar haircut to Glenn and put him right next to Maggie in a scene? Just a little weird.

lmfao I Had the same thought, like they did that just to gently caress with people

Are we supposed to know what A or B means

An A is Gabriel, literally the most useless human around, and the helicopter people are willing to trade top Ikea furnishings for him.

They keep teasing us with the sweet release of Gabriel death, but I guarantee you by the Walking Dead inverse law of characters, he's going to be the last motherfucker alive out of the current cast.

Carol and Daryl have been on borrowed time and are due to either be ruined or killed any episode now.

When did this happen?

There's been so many times Rick and friends have fucker over some random guy who's just minding his business.


Remember in season 4 (I think?) after the prison blew up and there was that staff guy who got slowly surrounded by 10 zombies and died and Carl and Rick were like "Nah, we'd better not help him, you never know if he's a psycho or something". Now THAT was a scene I can get behind.

It's there way of replacing Glenn by giving Maggie a new Asian gently caress boi.

Also they are saying, Maggie just really likes Asian dudes.

Ask me about the shitty opinions I have about Paradox games!
I'm enjoying this season more than the last, at least it feels like something potentially new might happen. The Negan stuff dragged on for such a ridiculously long time without anything really happening.
There were just too many saviours, it was ridiculous.

It was actually the best episode of the last couple of seasons if only because a few characters (ocean women) acted kind of rationally. I was so sure the people killing the Saviours would be some bullshit new enemy - like an old lady with a zombie on a stick - that when the "reveal" came it was pleasantly surprising.

I don't even really know what ethanol is because I've never had to write a script for a TV show where ethanol is the most valuable thing.

premise of conflict was reasonable

characters behavior made sense in-character

Plotting was not ruined by cutesy flashback fuckery

jadis's A/B thing - woman/man? they won't let her in unless she brings them a potential mother or a potential worker? it's not the whisperers I don't think? I'm actually going to be watching the next episode because I'm curious about where it's going, not just because I'm already 7 seasons in lmao

can't be that because when gabriel told her no, she said "i thought you were a B" in a tone that wouldn't make sense for that

if B is "a man" it's "i thought you were a man" n she's being dismissive because she's disappointed

It makes sense (for TWD) - it's not like they could say "hey here's all this ethanol don't ask why we have it and where the dudes went".
