    New episode last night did well to pique my interest in TWD again.

    Same here.  

    The one thing that constantly pisses me off though is the lack of building a society still.

    I thought it was good.   I wonder what they will be doing with Negan.  He surely can't be integrated into any of the groups.  If they tried and I was in one of the groups I would kill him.  Just like the Ocean Side did with the Saviors that had killed their loved ones.

    The gun that Judith holds is a damn street howitzer and she wouldn't be strong enough to handle it. That is just silly.  Give the girl a .38 and I can believe it but not that big ol 357...

    When I was 10 I had a hard time with a .44.

    It was one of the bittersweet things about Games of Thrones/Breaking Bad going out on top. I may still be wanting more when it's all said and done, but it's a much better legacy than dragging it on. My OCD just won't let me quit

    Same. I think all scenes with Judith are lame and forced. They tried too hard to make her replace Rick.  Luckily she wasn't in it much.

    Big fan of Samantha Morton. She'll do a great job playing Alpha.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    OK so I have one, maybe a few, problems with this episode.

    Lydia is one broken person and a few days of compassion in a cell and she loses her killer instinct?  Hearing a baby cry makes her realize her momma was full of crap?  This part of the show all I could think about was Bobby Bouche in the waterboy talkin bout his "but momma said" spiel.

    Why Alpha isn't wearing her mask is interesting.
    Why Alpha beats her child is interesting.
    Why Alpha wants her daughter back is interesting.

    Talk to me people!

    I have a few problems with the episode too.  I don't think they developed the story very well as to Lydia and how she acted.  First they show us the flash back of her dad being the asshole.  Then something changes with her because Henry took her outside the cell and another flashback shows her mom being a psycho killer.   So we have to presume that for all these years Lydia believed it was her dad, but in a few hours of being at Hilltop and talking to Daryl and Henry she suddenly realizes the truth?   The story was developed so badly (or maybe just too quickly) that I didn't know whether to believe her or not.    It seems like they compressed what should have been a longer story line into a partial episode.      So Magna and group decide to slip out in the middle of the night to find Luke and Alden.  They get out into the woods away from Hilltop and then all of a sudden they decide that it is too dark?   Shouldn't they have realized that by the time they got a hundred yards or so away from Hilltop?     And when they left Hilltop they talked about how they all stuck together and they had a quip about fighting for each other or something which incited the two that didn't want to leave to leave on the search.  But then when they realize that it is too dark they split up leaving two in the woods - not only that - one of those left in the woods is the deaf one.  Very contradictory.  

    I think the Whisperers are creepy and fun to watch.  But it seems so senseless.  They seem to accomplish nothing.  Why do you just walk around with Walkers when you could walk a lot faster without them.  Like when they were tracking Jesus, Aaron, and Eugene.  Why dd they have to be with a big group and walk in circles?    In the covered bridge fight they approach Daryl and see him get his cross bow out and shoot one of the real walkers.  And what do the Whisperers do?   They just keep walking towards Daryl.  Who does that?   If I saw somebody shooting at my group as we amble towards them I wouldn't keep ambling towards them I would take cover or run the other way.  That Whisperer just waited until Daryl shot him in the leg.    Anyway, enough of my gripes.  I still watch the show and enjoy, but I also enjoy thinking about the mistakes.

    This "going rogue" theme in the show is getting ridiculous.  Every time something happens they split up or go rogue rather than safety in numbers.  Drives me nuts.

    Also when did Henry become an idiot?  He was all about the kingdom and hilltop and knowing about people then Lydia shows up and he forgets all that?  Telling about their other camps? Lets her out of her cell?  

    I think it would have been a better story had she cracked him over the head w that hammer she was reaching for.

    For survivalists a lot of them have momentary lapses of stupid...

    I like the Whisperers, I think this could be a better season than we've had for a while. But still some issues.

    I can't stand any scene with Judith. It also seems like Henry is the new Carl.
    The going rogue thing I agree is stupid, and realizing once you're out there that it is dark. 
    How does Alpha even know Lidia was alive? Weren't the ones she was traveling with killed in the bridge? Wasn't she taken after those other 2 guys left, so they couldn't have spilled any beans about that.

    You are right about this!

    How would Alpha have known?

    Then why not stop the attack on the bridge when they would have only been facing 4 or 5 of them, and not the whole colony?
