The Walking Dead - Season 7

Don't forget, they might be able to get Hilltop in on this too. "The Sheriff, King Ezekiel and Jesus. It would seem the Saviors would have a tough time keeping track of all three groups.

I thought it was kind of neat how they dropped the viewers into The Kingdom, just like Carol. So we were experiencing/learning about it like she was.

I did not read the comics so...

Hilltop seemed to be a commune of wimps. And what...maybe 25 total people? All Hilltop has is a defensible hilltop location.

We could really use a map. I don't know what kind of compound the Saviors have. I imagine Hilltop, Alexandria and the Kingdom in a rough triangle, with the Saviors in the middle. That allows them to intercept and control trade, but is tactically a nightmare if they are forced to fight a war on three fronts.

Last night's Carol - Morgan episode was great. Carol's skepticism matched the viewers and Ezekiel's answers 100% worked. I honestly can't remember a character on the show with introspection and the show and him both embraced having fun with tigers and non-violence make-believe. And obligatory fun with zombie gore to boot.

Agreed with the OP and your reply. They avoided taking the story down a campy path, and created a compelling and believable character in the process. It took really good writing not to screw that storyline up.

While Negan and Ezekiel are clearly the two ends of the effective leadership spectrum, their emergence at roughly the same time in the storyline brilliantly underscore the limitations of all of the past tribal leaders ( Rick included ).
 
I felt last nights episode was kinda a snoozefest, I really have become less interested in Morgan's story or him teaching a kid how to fight. And carol just being carol.

I haven't read them either. But Hilltop is being exploited by Negan also. And they already combined with Alexandria (at least Jesus did) to kill a bunch of Saviors. They gotta have a few people who can join in. And yea they have a decent defensible position. I guess Jesus was a fairly big character in the the comics. So we'll see if he is one in the show also.

2 1/2 against 1 is better than 2 v 1.

Eh, I thought about the logistics of all the vehicles driving around but that immediately takes you down the gasoline rabbit hole and that's just way beyond what WD is about and capable of. It is neither an apocalypse survivalist tale nor a treatise on the art of warfare. Plus Rick & Co have to win so there's that. I'm entertained that they are having some fun with it and allowed us and Carol to chuckle at the absurdity of it all. At this point, I am 100% fine if the next group we meet is the baseball furies.

I'm not worrying about the gasoline, but I'm calling bull s--- the first time I see someone driving a Tesla.

Actually, with a windmill or solar, you could make a Tesla work post apocalypse. Gas engines with no refineries online? No chance. Even diesel would have degraded by now. But it's a fun show anyway.
 
I would actually buy in more if they were driving diesels around - diesel is just #2 home heating oil, so nearly every home, apartment house or marina is a potential fill-up.

In fact, that's a pretty good tip if the zombie apocalypse ever arrives - on day one, steal a diesel Jetta.

After 20 years, a useful tip finally emerges from the Boneyard.

My plan is to hit the Ford and GMC dealers in town and steal diesel trucks. I don't want to try to run over a hoard of zombies in a Jetta.
 
What was the photo that Dwight gave Daryl in the cell at the end?

Decent episode, but not great. Shows the inner workings of the Saviors. It's essentially a street gang it seems. The good news is, it's perfectly clear that one bullet to Negan's head will unravel the whole bunch. He doesn't have a chain of command.
 
Dove said:
We're thinking it was mashed Glenn.
Expand ...
Yea, it was of Glenn. That's when Dwight was saying Daryl got his friend killed, like Dwight got his friend killed. Daryl's got a lot of guilt over that I think. Might take awhile to get over that. For that matter, I think Daryl still has some guilt over getting his friend killed. He's definitely not over Negen having his wife. I'm thinking eventually Dwight cracks. I wonder if Daryl will realize that and start working on Dwight??

I was disappointed with the Saviors. Unless there is a lot more to come, they are just a big organized crime gang. Negan seems to take pride in destroying a person so much that they fall in line, and then putting them in a position of trust. At some point, Dwight (or one of the other "Dwights" (including Daryl) or point earners) would shoot Negan in the back of the head. Negan just seems like the Governor without the sane facade. To me, the Saviors could've been a much more interesting group where Negan treats his people like gold, so they tolerate his savagery towards outsiders. So far, the Governor is more interesting to me than Negan. Hopefully there is more to the Saviors. Otherwise, I hope they are just used as a tool that forces interesting storylines within the other outposts (Hilltop, Kingdom, Alexandria, etc.).
 
I enjoyed last nights episode a lot, i thought it was more entertaining than the week before that had Morgan teaching a kid how to use a stick

I think Daryl is already working on Dwight. Daryl gets this stuff. His brother was a mini Negan, ruling people by fear.

At some point they gotta get Daryl a shower or at least hose him off, no?

IDK, took them quite a few episodes in Alexandria before he showered. ;)

Good point. Especially after Negen showed his hand in that bedroom.
 
Were the Wolves simply eradicated?
 
I thought it was a very good episode - the only weak spot, and this is becoming a theme, is when Negan is on screen.

The monologues are getting a little repetitive which is kind of a shame because Morgan is a terrific actor. Getting to the point where I can't stand seeing him on screen.

( Coincidence - I actually saw Morgan a few weeks ago. He lives in the county and he owns a candy store (of all things) not far from here. He was not carrying a bat.)

He's either American or (outside chance) Canadian - definitely not British.

His voice on the show isn't an affectation. That's pretty much what he sounds like.

You guys are in a "Three's Company" conversation. You are referring to the actor (Lennie James) that plays the character Morgan. He is English. Fishy is referring to Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who plays Negan. He is American and seems like he could be the coolest guy around in real life.
