I don't get the wasting of bullets. Just not the norm. Also why not just shoot the snake in the head at the beginning. So much stupid going on... Plus that red licorice was bothering me for some reason.

I enjoyed tonight’s episode


I fully expected them to set up the invasion then do some “3 months earlier” bullshite where they spend the entire season building back to episode one. So based on the fact that they didn’t go that route I have to agree.

But the logic that they would spend all this time planning the invasion, have snipers, but not have snipers for Negan is just ridiculous.

I thought it was as good as could be expected. I figured they would drag this storyline out till the mid season break.

I thought the episode was enjoyable. It wasn't great but then again this has never been a great show.

I thought it was better than last year's season worth of wailing and gnashing of teeth and kissing Negan's arse.

I’m not as hard as most of you are on this show. I take it for what it is. However, Maggie still not showing in her pregnancy is mind boggling. Her hair is three times as long as it was, Judith has aged like a year, yet somehow her pregnancy belly still isn’t showing.

This is a TV show about a Zombie Apocalypse. It's not based on actual events. People please stop trying to interject reality because the show itself is not realistic. It's entertainment. Just be entertained or don't fricking watch. Gee whiz.

That makes no sense. So why don't people fly and throw cars at each other? It doesn't have to be "reality" for it to be realistic. There has to be some level of realism and logic for the show to connect with people. I can overlook a lot and shrug, cause I know it is a show. But if they keep pushing the envelope, people will just stop caring and the show will die (If it isn't dead already). They really need to stop trying to make art and instill so much meaning into everything and just get back to basics. It's just not as good as it has been, that is tough for a lot of people like me who really loved this show once upon a time..

Credit where credit is due.

That was a great episode.

However, because it is The Walking Dead, they had to do some dumb shite.

40 armed people 50 yards from the ring leader, most of them with rifles and no one put a round through his forehead. A 12 year old could have made that shot.

They then inexplicably spend thousands of rounds shooting out windows.

Oh, and Maggie not showing is retarded.

How about one of these times that Negan stands out in the open having long talks with Rick someone with a sniper rifle shoots him between the eyes?

Ugh - people aren't flying okay. There has always been some degree of disbelief on some level to move the plot along. Rick finds a horse season 1 - how does he know it's trained?? He rides it neck reined - maybe it's trained direct mouth. IRL You don't know which and horse ain't doing shite.
And the cars?? I'm no mechanic, but do cars that sit a certain length of time actually run??

As for Maggie - how long has she been pregnant?? We don't know. We know she's not in her third trimester which starts at 6 mos. Women with their first baby don't show quickly a lot of the time - especially if they are tall and fit.
Who knows maybe she's not really pregnant and this whole Negan encounter shite was for naught. Remember, it was getting her to a doctor that started this Negan shite rolling.
It's 2017 -how hard would it be to shove a pillow under her shirt?

Just let it go and enjoy the show for pity's sake.

If this show tried to stick to reality it would’ve been over 5 years ago. 2017 society would last about 6 months tops under apocalyptic conditions.

Carl needs a haircut. Looks stupid and is a great hand hold for a flailing zombie.
