I have lower expectations for this season that for either men's hoops or football. But like UConn, I'm still sucked in to TWD.
Can't wait for Saul to return though.
TWD is wearing my patience thin, between nonstop commercials and the writers purposely just with you its getting annoying.
That was pretty cool. Also I'm thinking since the dynamite they left behind went off, the Saviors may not realize a bunch of it was taken.I'll give them this, the two cars with the cable weed-whacking the highway median was a nice touch for something different.

That was so stoopid. Tyreese bad.And yet the 'escape' from the zombies immediately after was cringe inducing. It's not hard to avoid these things. They were purposefully running into them. Like a couple of buffoons.
I don't think you're supposed to get that part yet. There was apparently someone in the car with him when he drove away.Where did Father Flanagan go? I did not get that part?

Yea, I thought I saw that, but they didn't say anything on The Talking Dead about that. I'm assuming the person in the car was the hooded figure that's been watching them for a bit. Maybe Father Gabriel ran into him/her when he was out walking around (e.g. when he got out of the car with Spencer and walked back?)I don't think you're supposed to get that part yet.

I think this new group is a real new group. Don't think it's anything from the comics. So they can be and do whatever they want with them. Which could be interesting.I didn't watch Talking Dead this week, but I didn't like the preview at the end of the episode. I personally wasn't sure what Rick's grin was about when they were surrounded by the Mad Max-world looking group. I thought maybe he saw a friendly face in the group (Father Gabriel, the guy with dreads that is lost..). With the preview showing a group of people we don't know I'm assuming the grin is because Rick sees resources and soldiers. I do think there is a chance Gabriel met them and saw the same opportunity as Rick, but they told him he'd better bring back the supplies that Rick and Aaron took.
Or Governorish or Glennish. But it's a staple of all TV/movies. The good guys (specifically Those Who Can't Be Killed Off) always get out of impossible situations.
It does seem to have dropped some this year. Not a lot, but definitely some.Read an article yesterday that viewership dropped as much as 40% in pockets after the introduction of Negan and the violent season premier. They mentioned when long time viewers check out, it's very, very tough to bring them back into the fold...and with a show that's been on this long, no one new is jumping in fresh at this point. You've always been quick to lean on the ratings. Thoughts?

There were some articles out about Chandler Riggs (Carl) going away to college and how that would affect what happens to Carl. (some people might be happy because he may not be around as much ).
I agree. What seemed really poorly done after I thought about it, was one of them was clear on the other side of the highway and they both got to the truck (and seemed to go through the same amount of walkers) about the same time.I understand and accept that trope, but the execution was laughable. Rick could have literally opened his door and casually walked backwards away from the horde without lifting a finger.

I'm not sure how long it did take them to figure it out. Also Fat Joey might have been responsible for Daryl while Negan, Dwight, Simon were out running around. With him dead, there wasn't anyone to check on Daryl, until everyone got back and decided to look in on them. Not sure if Daryl and Jesus did something with Fat Joey (hid the body??).Or drive like 10 yards further to put a little distance between the dead and the getaway car.
My other nitpick was that it took more than a day for the Negan's group to realize that Darryl was gone. That doesn't seem like the efficiency they have shown up to now.
You'd think they could find a junk yard in GA.That was some seriously bad green screen. oof.
Not a bad episode, with some pieces being moved around for future developments.
Overthinking things: The junkyard folks knew about the houseboat, but wouldn't go out there themselves to check for supplies. I'm assuming they observed it for a lot longer than Rick and Aaron did to figure out it was safe to approach. After Rick and Aaron took everything back to Alexandria, the junkyard folks decide to make a make a move to get those supplies, unaware that the Saviors already took it all. Why risk discovery by and potential conflict with Rick's group to get something that they could have obtained themselves, without anyone knowing?
- Not that it was a problem, but there was something a little off with the group in the junkyard. To me, they gave off a science-fictiony vibe. Maybe it was the leaders haircut or the way they talked, but it reminded me of a group from an old Star Trek episode or Tom Hanks' future tribe in Cloud Atlas.
- The junkyard group want guns. Rick's group also needs guns. The Fisherwomen have some, but do they have enough to arm 2 other groups, even if they are willing to share? I think Rick and Co. need to find a separate weapons cache on top of bargaining with other groups.
- After Richard explained his plan to Darryl and Darryl figured out he was setting Carol up to be killed, I almost expected Darryl to say "You know who Ezekiel would miss and maybe be moved to action if they were killed by the Saviors? You. Goodbye, Richard."
- I think Jerry from the Kingdom dies before he ever gets to swing that axe. The guy is so lighthearted and jovial, he either becomes a popular recurring character or he's the first guy shot when they go to fight the Saviors.
Good point. Other than the obvious, this is how Rick gets to meet a new group so he has more people to fight with.Overthinking things: The junkyard folks knew about the houseboat, but wouldn't go out there themselves to check for supplies.
