I cannot say I'm that bothered that they are together, I like their closeness though. Plus Michonne is a lot better than Blondie. I love over how the gang couldn't be arsed at doing some farming for the Hillbilly lot, but were all for taking on Neagan and co The leader of the Hillbillies was a peculiar chappie wasn't he. Can't see him lasting the season.

Can't see him lasting the season. Rick & co were waaayyyy too cocky over this Negan attack and I can't see it ending well at all, but I kind of see why they'd rather jump straight into the hornet's nest and fighting it out rather than doing the farming thing again; Rick's peaceful farmer routine ended with The Governor murdering Hershel and destroying the prison, after all!! Fighting with/killing people is second nature to Rick now; had to laugh at the bemused "What?" he gave the Hilltoppers when they were all staring at him covered in blood after stabbing that guy in the neck s0238 I can't read Gregory at all so will have to see what more there is to him in the next eps. Jesus (loving that guy so much!!) seems to think he's decent enough but it's too early to tell and sleazing up to Maggie wasn't a great first impression...I kind of think if they did killl him off early then it'd feel a bit like repeating what happened at Alexandria with Reg and Deanna, where the new groups leaders are killed off so that Rick can inevitably take over. As for goners though, the Hilltoppers are an inevitability and the some of the Alexandrians are fair game too but people in Rick's group have to be in danger by now. I wouldn't be surprised if any of the following go: Rosita, Eugene, Tara, Abraham or Sasha.

Just when I thought something had actually gone to plan for a change we suddenly get that little cliffhanger.
Good episode, can't believe that the are not many episodes left this series.

You wait months for a season that lasts a few weeks... and even then they have a mid-season break smiley-angry It looks as if the show's trying to humanise Carol again, like they realise they went a bit too far with her turning into a psycho instead of just really badass, although maybe this sudden redemption is signalling Negan killing her? She has been captured along with Maggie after all and I still believe that, in order to prove how much of a threat he is, Negan's going to kill of big characters and Carol would certainly qualify. I love how Gabriel's finally stepping up and doing something; saying biblical quotes before killing that Saviour was pretty sinister but cool at the same time.

I really hope they don't kill Carol, she is my clear favourite. I love how bad ass she has become so I hope they don't humanise her too much. I always love it when she pretends to play an innocent victim before kicking ass. Even Maggie gave her a look as if she couldn't believe how easy it was for Carol to fool their captives. I enjoyed the episode, but again it felt like too much emphasis was put on a couple of characters. There are a lot of characters who haven't had much screen time, having a large cast does not work with the amount of episodes they have. I don't know why they don't extend the series to the usual 22-24 the Americans seem to opt for.

I don't know why they don't extend the series to the usual 22-24 the Americans seem to opt for. Seems to be rapidly going down that road, unfortunately I'm really hating this sudden turn around and her now bloody hyperventilating over having to kill people who are legit threats. I was gobsmacked at her upping and leaving last week because it just seemed a ridiculous thing to do and this week's have proved how pointless it's been because A) She (predictably) got attacked by more Saviours and B) She had to end up trying to kill them all anyway so it defeated the whole point of her leaving Alexandria because she didn't want to kill...Admittedly she went a bit too far down the crazy psychotic route where she threatened to kill cookie kid but, unless there's some big end game, NuCarol is getting to Morgan levels of irritating. I agree about the unbalanced cast screen time too; it's why it's hard to care sometimes when people die because you either have barely seen them before. Denise's death last week was a shocker and I was kind of sad about it but only because they'd spent nearly the entire episode building her up; in hindsight, I should've taken that as foreshadowing that she was a goner But the show's not really developed the Alexandrians and now we've got the Hilltoppers to process...Maybe Negan and the Saviours are going to create a bloodbath to cut the character size down! This second half of the season has been brilliant though; totally changed pace from the first half. I had a mini heart attack at the end of this episode when it looked like Dwight had killed Daryl smiley-yikes and I can;t stop wondering that if Maggie's baby died in the womb, would it eat her from the inside? That'd be horrific but I'm not sure if anything's off limits this season. Oh and Morgan m1323 I get his reasoning, but it's too weak to work in TWD world. In hindsight, of course you can look back and say "Good job I didn't kill that Wolf after all..." but his logic can be so easily flipped; he spares the Wolf's life, the Wolf takes Denise and throws her to the swarm of walkers in order to save himself, she dies and isn't there to save Coral's when he got shot in the face...the man's infuriating!!! smiley-angry

Maggies baby trying to eat her would be horrific, there's a part of me wouldn't mind if that happened even though I do like Maggie. The guy who will be playing Negan is in the Good Wife at the moment, he's spent most of his scenes in bed with the main character so I am all for seeing him do something a bit different. I hope Darryls not dead, although they have already done this once to us with Glen. I agree with you about Morgan, the worst episode in the whole program was the one focused solely on him. It was excruciatingly boring.

I was looking at the TWD thread over on the Dark Side and, in between the continual squabbling about what is/isn't a spoiler, some people have said that Maggie's baby isn't that developed yet so a zombie baby chewing her insides up wouldn't be possible. I have to say if it's true (because I have no idea how far along she's supposed to be) I'm kind of disappointed there's no because, as much as I like Maggie and don't want her dead, it'd be such a shocking/memorable death. Negan was also in Grey's Anatomy many moons ago; played a guy with a heart condition who died and came back a couple of times as a ghost, IIRC He was part of this sweeping love story with one of the doctors so I'm really interested to see how he does the whole Big Bad thing. Daryl's not dead - and that isn't a spoiler! I was only half watching the end and honestly thought he'd got a shot to the head for a few seconds, then I rewound a few times and it looks as if Dwight got him in the shoulder/arm...plus Dwight even said that he'd "be alright" so I'm 99.9% sure he's still alive. Killig off Daryl (imo) would lead to a huge number of viewers switching off so I think he's 'safe' for the foreseeable, plus, like Glenn, I don't believe they'd give an original main character such a weak death scene; this is why I think it's going to be carnage when Negan finally shows up because he's supposed to make the Governor look like a small fry. Oh and re the Morgan episode...apparently if you found it boring then you "didn't understand/get it" or it was "too deep" for you free-rolleye-smileys-323

"Not cool...not cool...you have no idea how not cool that shit is..."
Negan summing up my feelings about the finale in that nutshell ^^^ I can't remember the last time I was so excited/nervous for one episode of a TV show but I was on serious tenterhooks for the S6 finale and TPTB pretty much screwed the viewers over with that ending. The tension built in that last 15 or so minutes was brilliant; the Saviours' creepy whistling, Negan pacing around with Lucille and doing the 'eeny meeny' thing, Rick looking genuinely petrified for the first time ever!! I found all of that edge-of-the-seat viewing...and then they go and completely destroy all that tension by having Negan bludgeon a cameraman to death m1323 Why? Just why?! Everything was set up for a brutal death scene that the viewers had been waiting for all this time but the show has decided to string this out until October...by which time any emotional gut-punch that could've, no, should've happened in this episode won't have half the impact when S7 starts; people were expecting big deaths now so the show really should've delivered. It just fees like a massive m0196 to the viewers. It didn't help that the majority of the episode was split between the group going back and forth in the RV and going through the map every five minutes only to be blocked off by the Saviours and the awfully tedious 'Bring Back Carol' mission of Morgan's, although these ye olde horsemen dudes are intriguing...but then do we really need more noobs when the show hasn't really developed the ones we've already got? All in all, I found it all hugely anticlimactic
