A bit of a filler episode I thought. At least they gave Maggie something to do, and the Carl/Ron slap fight was hilarious. Deanna walked around looking more like a zombie than the zombies.

Where was Carol? I don't recall seeing her, which surprised me considering Rick had returned.

Ya, felt the same about filler-ish. Was looking for some closure, etc!
Someone at work commented on the missing Carol as well.

Then I pointed out that they kind of name dropped her to both show she's still around, and explain a random zombie walking around that was there for surprise factor. (Rick Said Carol mentioned there was a Wolf she killed unaccounted for). Also with both Carl & Rick out an about I assume she's back home watching little ass kicker. Would still be nice to see her, because lately she's awesome in every scene

[worry]

They gave Carol an off day so they could budget for those fancy crackers. That actor had to eat like 30 sleeves' worth during all the takes in that momentous scene, and they were high end circle crackers, not cheapo square crackers.

A very mild spoiler but it's like 3 seconds in so I won't tag it. I'm confused about Darryl. Last we saw him he was riding off on his own ditching plan and here he is riding next to car like it never happened... Bad editing?

Rick gave a moving speech over the walkies about how going back to Alexandria would be for themselves, but to continue dragging the walkers away would be for all of Alexandria. Daryl turned around and merged up w/ them at the end of the episode.

On last night's episode, near the end...


...so was that Glenn's voice on the walkie asking for help?

[worry]

That wasn't nearly as big a dud as the previous episode, but still, c'mon. There wasn't a single moment we haven't already seen before on this show.

Spoiler

Also, frankly, Big Mustache Dork leaving Rosita for anybody else destroys suspension of disbelief more than anything the show has ever done.

[worry]

That might be the most BK sentence you have ever written, BK.

Yep. Another yawnfest.

When did that Flight bit start during commercials? It said it was the 7th skit but that's the 1st time I've seen it.

It's been all season, but hasn't been worth fishing through the other commercials to find. Nothing has happened in any of the parts I've seen.

Doubt the story will connect to Fear at all...

It was the most predictable thing ever, and I think I hated it all the more because it was so predictable.

I know that it was predictable, but we just need to remember that (comic spoilerish)

Spoiler

Negan is coming at the end of the series, so Glenn will be getting fucked up brutally

.

I must say I am enjoying this series so far, it has had more slow paced 'set-up' episodes but unlike other shows such as Once Upon a time, I don't feel that these set-up episodes are a complete waste and they do actually offer something to the story.

My wonder is about next weeks episode, mid season finale, will the crew that are outside the walls make it back in time especially with the RPG's that were found as that could be a game changer there.

I'm not a fan of the Glenn tease. The way they did it, he had 0 chance to get out of that alive, or at least without a single bite... Total cheese. I kind of like the cruel thing they're doing (if they actually go through with it when Negan appears) making the casual viewer think that Glenn is an unkillable main character, just to have him die soon after to Negan. They should have done it in a more believable way if they were going to do it. The whole thing left a sour taste in my mouth, and I'm actually looking forward to Negan bashing Glenn's brains out now because of it, which shouldn't be because I (like probably most of the viewers) like Glenn. If they hadn't done this cheesey near death thing, I would have been rooting for Glenn to live through the Negan line-up. Not now

Guess it wasn't Glenn afterall...
My buddy has a theory that it's the guy (and girl) who robbed Darryl (they stole his walkie talkie?)

mild comic reference, not really a spoiler:

Spoiler

He thinks it's the dude w/ the iron burnt face, guess there's a discussion that they have the same name (I forget what that is atm)

more explicit comic spoiler:

Spoiler

which makes sense if he's running off with that girl, who must have been Negan's. The way the people chasing them were talking about sharing and implied prostitution it makes sense. Maybe we'll see his face get melted.

Spoiler

See, I didn't find it cheesy at all, and it's perfectly plausible that he gets away without getting bitten. Sure, it was a tight situation and the odds of him getting out without getting bitten are slim...but they aren't ZERO either. And Glenn's default setting is "getting out of tight scrapes alive" and has been since the beginning of the show.

And if I'm honest, I'm starting to think that they will swap out Glenn meeting Lucille....for Daryl Meeting Lucille and buck the entire trend so it goes: Glenn's getting ripped apart ---->Nope, he escaped...but comic fans know that Negan is coming --->Negan comes ---->Comic fans expect Glenn to get his comics death --->show bucks that trend and subverts it once again as Daryl meets Lucille instead....fans go absolutely batshit.

I mean if at this point we are talking about Negan asserting his villainy by sending a fan favourite character packing (and in the comics Glenn essentially holds that role since Daryl is a show invention)...does it not make more sense for him to kill Daryl?

[Bulwyf]

There was a swarm of walkers having a feeding frenzy. No way Glenn wouldn't get bit. Even showing how Glenn escapes, Nicholas landed perpendicular on top of Glenn, leaving his legs etc completely exposed. You're telling me that walkers would be on top of his legs eating Nicholas, and not even a walker in the second row wouldn't be biting some Glenn Ankle? Redonkulous!

I would have loved Glenn to have escaped from a similar situation, just as long as it was believable. He also fell "over" walkers so there should have been some between him and the dumpster chowing down on his exposed face.

All I'm saying is that there is always a chance. Glenn happened upon that chance. Just because the odds are so slim doesn't make it impossible. And if it's not impossible, I'm okay buying it.

I knew it! I'm glad but disappointed at the same time.

[acesn8s]

...and I think

Spoiler

Sam

has become the most loathed character on the show.

[QuickTidal]

That was a largely underwhelming mid-season finale. It had some great characters moments (Michonne and Deanna especially, but also Morgan and Carol)...but overall there was nothing really exceptional...even the clever "ants march and devour Sam's Cookie" allegory fell kind of flat.

Oh, and

Spoiler

Glenn not calling out to Maggie at least was a shitty thing to do to us fans! All I wanted was for him to call out to her, and her to see him alive.
