THE WALKING DEAD...and all things zombie

gregkitefan

Another awful episode. But I keep watching.

i think he is a snake, the first interactions with darryl showed us all what he is about. Darryl was open and willing to help but dicky took advantage, stole his bike, bow and what not. Then the interaction on the tracks... another bonehead move trying to kill everyone along with survivor crew.... Dr Denise dead by his bow, as he was aiming for Darryl. The only reason he is turning is because of his wife.... yeah he had to turn for her, but if she wasnt in the equation he would be comfortable with his situation as Negans B.

true, but I think everyone is corruptible in that way. as long as you feel you are doing what is right, or what you need to do to survive, then that's the way it is. I think Rick's group is way less innocent/moral than some think.

Yep. That about sums it up. It was painfully obvious that this half season would go this way....I don't know why they continue to move the story along at such a slow pace.

hoping for a good show tonight....

Was wondering the same thing. I don't remember it being referenced earlier.

Sprunkn7

ok, so yes, it was Dwight that left the figure. I'm not sure why that makes me happy, but it does. After thinking about it, I remembered it was the garbage people up on the fence watching them set up the explosives in the truck...Cant' wait for them to kill that stupid one syllable talking bitch!

I loved the finale. This season was pretty much crappy IMO.....but at least it went out with great writing and with a little bit of closure, not a cliffhanger!

That episode felt like it could have been the episode that leads up to the season finale. I thought it kind of fell flat. Didn't need another episode setting the pieces and talking about going to war again.

Nonetheless, glad they didn't leave everyone with a shameless cliffhanger like they did last year.

I felt the same way, was the episode leading up to the finale.
Better episode, but I thought the fighting in the end had the cheesy 80s vibe to it. No one ran out of bullets. Ezekiel took out as many people with his pistol as Darrel did with his fully automatic whatever it was, that must of held 500 rounds because he never let up on the trigger.
So can we expect them to drag this war out for an entire season now? Or at least half a season. With some more backstory fillers. I cant imagine they would end this season with this, then only take 2 or 3 episodes to end the war.

I love how the tiger knew to only eat "bad guys" and not "good guys" from Alexandria. This show just makes me laugh out loud its so bad.

haha i thought that as well.

also, wasn't rick shot? i love at the end of the episode everyone is recovering in bed and there is rick, hanging out tending to michonne like he didn't take a bullet to the gut.

What did Negan mean when he said to Rick, "The universe is giving you a sign and you're giving it the middle finger...(up the asshole), lol. What sign was the universe giving Rick, in Negan's opinion? To let Negan just take over everything? To surrender?

dwight wasn't really a snake. he's a survivor like anyone else in this world. everyone hated him because he crossed daryl. but he did what he had to do to survive. and he is incredibly bitter about stealing the love of his life and now she's gone and hates him, and he resents negan for that.

i don't read the comics, but my buddy does, and he told me that negan has never killed a woman or a child. that told me right from the start that even though we all think of him as a psycho, he has rules. psychos don't have rules. he has morals, just like rick and his crew. he often goes overboard (throwing that guy into the furnace and burning alive, for one), but he does that to keep everyone in line, and other times he shows mercy, or even a tender side, like when he was carl. he's a perplexing character, multi-dimensional, not as easy to pin down as "evil" like the governor.

"Negan often goes overboard (throwing that doctor into the furnace and burning alive, for one), but he does that to keep everyone in line..."

I felt Negan went overboard there out of insane jealousy and bitterness and maybe some heartache-- one because of the possible doctor and Sherry thing (that D framed the doc for), two because Sherry just seemed to drop both Dwight and Negan like bad habits and not look back. Don't get me wrong, I understand that she and Dwight were in some situation, where in order for both to stay alive, she had to be one of Negan's wives. But then to tell Dwight in that (Dear John) goodbye letter that he had changed so much and she didn't like who he had become...Please. The man stayed alive to make sure she was okay, watching her screw another guy the whole time, and then all she had to do was meet him at their house, if they ever both got away, and she doesn't even have the decency to do that. I'm sorry, but I hope Sherry turns up down the road as a walker, for not being loyal to Dwight. Also, in a world like that, if their marriage was so great, they should have realized they were both better off dead than to knowingly subject themselves to the sister wives set up, and that it would all just work out somehow.

I just remembered what it reminded of. "The A Team". Daryl must have gotten off a million rounds and none of the "bad guys" were wounded. That's what this show has become its that bad.

Ha, yes! I mentioned it reminded me of those cheesy 80's action shows. That's exactly it!

Nami

i guess i was wrong about Dwight. Seems like he has switched sides based on the army piece...

The show was on par with the rest of the season- blah.

The whole Sasha sequence was brutal... dont understand why they had to consume the majority of the show with her and abraham deciding if they should stay or go on the trip for Maggie...perhaps they felt they needed to do a proper send off for her?How in the hell did the alexandria crew pick up their guns without getting slaughtered by the garbage/negans crew? The Sasha zombie attack and the part with him hiding cowardly behind Simon was so out of character for BADASS Negan? Darryl's gun reminded me of a weapon from the video game Halo.

With a pending war coming, the show ended with everybody calm, relaxing and enjoying the sun... how in the hell are they going to merge the three groups for safety now?

Commercials are brutal too....consume the show now.

The garbage crew leader to Michonne... i lay with him later? hahaha

EXACTLY my thoughts!

Dr. Delight

Most of the dialogue/action sequences of when the Kingdom rolled in to save the day was hilariously cheesy.

And the classic off screen fake out death of a major character that you immediately knew wasnt gonna hold up(Michonne falling)

BIGDaddyWil

I thought the finale sucked. Nobody shot the tiger? Endless ammo and few kill shots. I'm kinda rooting for Negan.
