Almost!

Tonight's ep:

Spoiler

Man this show can't leave well enough alone with the symbolism.

Cool shots of Alexandria burning and the devastation the Saviors have wrought? Let's impose one of the dumbest scenes yet as two dorks risk their lives trying to save a ruined gazebo.

Cool shot of cave-zombie friends walking into a meat grinder juxtaposed to sappy music and a mournful lady? Let's cut to a shot of the meat splashing onto her special painting.

Anyway, there were some decent scenes (zombie gate face was rad) and some forward momentum I guess. Negan Jr. signed his own death warrant maybe.

Trever Negan rocks. I would watch a spin-off of him walking the earth like Caine in Kung-Fu... but with zombies.

So was the whole garbage people baby talk just some performance art? WTF!

Yeah they made it seem like the landfillers felt they had the world to themselves, so much so that they chose to "create an new society", which included the simplistic speech. Is it possible they had no contact with anyone for long enough for this to take hold? I'm pretty doubtful of that. A landfill/junkyard would become an apocalyptic Home Depot or Lowes once the actual retail locations had been stripped clean, i would think.

[worry]

Not if you hid all the good stuff...in filing cabinets!

mmmm.... zombie hamburger. A little gamy and an acquired taste at first, but a lot healthier for you then regular beef hamburger.

Oh boy, the show's obvious attempt to drive forward the point that Rick did not (or refuses to) apply Carl's dying advice by not helping that last asshole goth dumpster diver (garbage pail kid), Jadis. It only means that Rick has more misery in his future, right?

About the caveman speech the shit eaters, goth filth, garbage pail assholes speak. I'm thinking now they did that to throw off any outsiders, put them off their game so to speak. That, or it was just one big artsy fartsy performance piece? Per Jadis their world was one big canvass so, maybe it was part of it?

Do you guys think Aaron will get the lesbian seagulls to change their minds?

Oh, and looks like the helicopter secret has been revealed. You guys did catch that right?

[worry]

Nah you misheard. Negan Jr. said "and it's hella rad out back" -- he's originally from NorCal.

Yeah, that wasn't handled well.

Let me guess, the only survivor is also the only pilot.

Yeah, I'm guessing if it is equipped with a machine gun turret, Jadis is going to expand her canvas from the dump to the lager vicinity. I'm sure it will have some key role to play in a pivotal battle between Rick's group and Negan's. Lets see, does she wipe out the side with Trevor Negan who killed all her people, or does she wipe out Rick's side, cause, you know, Rick just shot above her head and refused to take her with him? Or you know, she could just wipe them all out and go live happily ever after with the lesbian seagulls.

[Mezla PigDog]

He's called Simon, damnit.

[Malankazooie]

The "Push Your Luck Duo" pushed their luck one too many times. Now no doctor for Maggie. And Father Can't See is relegated to bullet sorting for Eugene. BTW, is one of the side effects of the Zombie Apocalypse to cause the pregnancy of women to double from the normal nine month gestation period? Because Maggie isn't showing at all. Makes sense that the evolution in such a world would extend pregnancy, so the survivors could find safe haven to have a baby.

Also, about Eugene. I guess he doesn't pay attention to Negan's harem and the purpose of those women who have been assigned to his newly created outpost? Dummy, he could be getting tons of poontang along with making bullets. Instead he's all like, you will pat the sweat off my brow as needed and bring me breakfast and wine when I request it.

The Tara v Dwight part was yawn worthy. So he's back with the Survivor's. So Rick's group has a mole back inside.

Oh snap, based on a preview of next week's episode, it looks like Trevor Negan's allegiance to Original Coke Neegan is fraying. That snarky smirk on his face when Orginal Coke Neegan's car is hit by Rick's SUV was rather obvious.

[acesn8s]

Oh god, Tara vs Dwight...

You can't switch sides! I'm sorry Tara, didn't you use to hang with the Governor?

So Original Coke Negan is going the biological warfare route after learning from Eugene the bullet factory isn't going to be as speedy as he wants. So instead he is going to weaponize the zombies? I wonder how the show is going to handle this because slathering zombie guts all over yourself doesn't make you sick per se and instead has been a tactic that's been used on a number of occasions to by pass a herd of zombies. I know Father Gabriel got sick when him and Original Coke Negan did the nasty to escape the RV, but I thought that was explained away because the zombies were wallowing in toxic wastes near the industrial complex they were located. Anyway, must be some sort of tactic the Survivors will employ to make sure the zombie viscera will penetrate Rick's crew or spray into their mouths? I dunno. I'm curious to see how they are going to do it. It'll probably be dumb.

[worry]

I thought the implication was -- because Lucille is covered in barbed wire -- a scratch would be enough to turn someone since he got the zombie paste from its jaw.

[Malankazooie]

Yeah, I got that part. So the Survivors just need to develop a catapult that throws the zombie guts with bits of metal to cut the flesh? Or is Original Coke Negan just going to make a visit to Hilltop and "infect" some trouble makers with Lucille who have stepped out of line without Maggie and the rest not knowing he as intentionally set into motion an internal zombie attack? The idea being that they just came down with some illness (not zombie bite related)? I dunno. I'm just curious to see how the show is going to pull if off. It will probably be dumb.

[worry]

Ah ok. I don't think he's into the catapult idea specifically but it's definitely headed for an inside-the-walls surprise zombie attack. "But he was never bitten!" someone will shout, but it'll be too late.

[acesn8s]

So, now that the Saviors are low on ammo, is everyone low on ammo? I don't think I'm going to buy a melee fight unless everyone runs out of bullets.

[Malankazooie]

I thought that is why pressuring the lesbian seagulls to join Rick was so vital. They have guns & ammo. Even more so now that the dumpster divers / garbage pail goth kids are no more.

I thought the Alexandria crew took all their guns and ammo and hit them with, see we're so good we let you live. Which is why Enid and what's his face should be dead right now. You took our guns and ammo and then killed my gram!

Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that. Maybe they have more hidden away somewhere though? Or maybe Aaron just wants them to join to increase their numbers? He seems adamant about staying behind and winning them over.
