So I hated that song, then it grew on me then I hated it and just when I started to hate it even more, my wife started to like it and now she's bugging me by using it all the time.

This song is so nice it's mean.

the best part of this post is that it starts a new page.....

Thank you!

The song was one thing but that dog food, just no way I could do that.

Given how little food a lot the people have had since the outbreak I'm thinking it's not so bad. Did look horrible though.

With so many characters on which to focus, this show really loses momentum from time to time. At this pace, any resolution of Negan storyline could take years.

I guess it's OK, but I don't find the characters and sub plots so compelling that I need this much detail on each character.

Certain shows (Mad Men, The Wire come to mind) have such rich character development and dialogue that the main plot becomes secondary. Not the case here. Just my two cents.

I dont know, the first episode focused on the core group, the resolution of the cliffhanger and the scenario moving forward. Thats Story 'A.'

The second episode introduced a side group also caught up with Negan as well as the progression of Morgan and Carol whom I assume will rejoin the main group shortly, this is Story 'B.'

And Daryl who is obviously being 'groomed' somehow while at the same time is a subversive influence on the main antagonists from the inside. Story 'C.'

I imagine that this season is going to see all of these stories culminate together at some point.

That last episode was like swallowing a giant #### sandwich for 90 minutes straight. It was almost worst than the season opener because it was so calculated and meant to demean the Alexandrians.

Culminating with Negan's last words to Rick: "I just shoved my....and you thanked me for it."

Just ugly. I was somewhat ok with Negan doing things in order to maintain power, but this is just psychological torture for the fun of it. Looking forward to his grisly death.

The burning mattresses at the end with Michonne was pretty intense. Really drives home that it's not about stuff at all, just power over Rick's group.
OT: why hasn't anyone gone and stolen a tank or humvee or something?

[Robotic]

My recording cut off at the end. Last part I saw was Michone climbing onto of the of the car. Did anything happen after that?

She must have smelled something burning, she went to investigate and found that the Saviors had just piled up and burned the mattresses they took from Rick's group.

Didn't even need them, just wanted to stick it to the Alexandrians.

The burning mattresses as mentioned and Rosalita found a shell casing and asked Eugene to make her a bullet for it.

I can't help but wonder how important that bullet will be because it was (or at least they led me to believe it was) the casing from the shot Negan fired through the window.

[Strange Brew]

I am surprised at the language they can get away with on the show. Last episode in particular was pretty blue.

How low will they let Rick and company get before signs of a comeback? Starting to feel like pro wrestling - you know it's coming.

It's not televised on a broadcast network, so they can pretty much get away with whatever language they like. But it does appear AMC frowns upon the F word and I think someone posted something saying they will basically only allow it once per season. Believe it or not due to the lack of F bombs, the television version of Negan is toned down significantly.

[Inferno099]

I expect it is to drag on the evilness of Negan - but not having seen the comics I was surprised Rick didn't just demolish Negan with Lucille in the cemetery showing 'Maggie's grave' to deceive Negan about her - before Carl's gunshot was heard from the pharmacy / doctor area.

Overall I guess it is just to get more in-depth about how Negan has psychologically tortured Rick & others, but I find it surprising it takes Michone near the end to remind Rick they have to try to fight back.... as what is happening now is not a life.

Now having all their guns taken away by Negan's gang (other the one Rosita got from one of the 'Savior' zombies when they picked up Darryl's bike for Dwight to use) , and the one shell casing to create one bullet... I'll be interested to see what happens.

I wonder if they will do a back story on Negan before he is hopefully taken out.

[Fuzz]

So a few open ender's here....

Rick seams convinced at the moment this is their new life. Who, or what event will change his mind? or will the others act individually or as a group without him knowing to go after Negan?

They seam to be setting Daryl up to be on Negan's side. Is he really broken, or just pretending until the opportunity arises? Will he defend Negan against Rick's group if it comes to that?

A few of the Negan's are picking up on Negan's tactics. Will one of them take over if Negan is gone? We also see near the end Rick use a Negan tactic on Spencer, and he seams pleased with himself that it worked.

What tactic? All I remember from that was Rick saying if he ever said anything about Abraham or Glenn again he would kill him. That isn't a Negan tactic, that is Rick being Rick.

[Fuzz]

It was the way he said it, like he had just picked up on how well Negan's words worked. As he walked away he had a little swagger in his step, not the downtrodden Rick shuffle. Honestly I'd have to watch it again, I just remember thinking that when i saw it.
