The Walking Dead (spoiler tags for comic talk, no spoilers for tv talk) - CAAAAAAAAAAAAARL's a bitch

[Thunder]

Um, I'm pretty sure Negan showed them how outmanned they were.

they have a rocket launcher bruh


had*

Just caught up and i have to say that Neagan is straight up the most frustrating villain i have seen for television. Want to punch that face of his when i see him smile like that, so well done to the actor!

Spoiler: show

For those wondering why they didn't ambush them and stuff, well Neagan came much earlier than expected. Blindsiding Rick and the gang, i'm assuming its the psychological attacks that Neagan is implementing for more cooperation.


Also nice catch on the Morse code! I saw the picture and figured something was up but did not notice Darrel blinking. Is there a consensus on what it means? HT? Hilltop?

[boo]

yah, it was hilltop

[myreality]

The consensus in the Reddit forums seems to be "I" "East". like Interstate East, which is assumed to lead to where Darrel is held, to "The Kingdom" or sanctuary.

This show is just frustrating to watch this season, even if I know they'll eventually fight back.

You had a fucking massive arsenal, two compounds of people, a fortified base, and the element of surprise (them thinking you'd let them in), and instead of ambushing them, you let them come take all your guns.

The army soldier in me makes me rage every time I watch this show.

Did you not hear Rick say that Negan came early?

They weren't preparing to ambush them even if they came on time. And he should have been ready for the counter the day after they were fucking attacked. You have a fortress, rocket launchers, and time to prepare.

Fuck these bitches. They deserve to be sheep.

I think the point is that Rick just lost what was his oldest friend in this world... only person he's known longer than Glenn would be Carl... oh and Morgan... I take it as he's trying to NOT lose anyone else. Directly fight back against Negan and some of Rick's people WILL die. If unsuccessful, they all die.

Bow down and take it in the ass for a time and his people get to live, until they can form a realistic means of fighting back without being drastically outnumbered.


I would agree that the easiest way to end the threat would be a sniper posted to take out Negan when he came to collect... but that makes boring tv.

[Lokus]

Not to mention they don't even know how large Negan's group or even where their main location is but they do know they have more firepower and resources just going off how they were able to impede their progress to Hilltop. Negan has the upperhand in everything atm.

Book spoiler on Negan's methods.

Spoiler: show

In the books, Negan even says they stagger their visits, never coming same time/day to pick up their tributes to prevent the possibility of an ambush. As Rick's group finds out also in the books, he deploys snipers as well

They've definitely been hitting up the "charismatic and scary" part of Negan for the last two episodes. And planted the seeds for Negan's next big moment which I think will come at or before the mid season finale.
Comic spoiler/possible show spoiler:

Spencer is gonna meet a gross end soon.

[Tyrath]

I mentioned it up above. I'm thinking it's gonna be for the mid season finale.

That doesn't feel monumental enough to me for a mid-season finale.

Spoiler: show

Spencer's not a major enough character for us to care, unless he gets thoroughly fleshed out in the next four episodes. Thinking it might be Rick's ambush of Negan, although that might not work as well either, since Rick knows they have guns, and that was a key reason he thought a success might work. They might skip that entirely. Maybe Carl's joyride in the back of Negan's truck?

Actually, maybe just a declaration of All Out War between the Saviors and the Kingdom, Hilltop, and Alexandria. If "They're Messing With the Wrong People" can finish a half-season, so could a declaration of All Out War. And that would likely take the rest of this season, and maybe we get into the fair, Gregory vs. Maggie, and the Whispers next season. I'm also thinking Enid might take the place of Sophia in the Hilltop storyline.

This episode reminded me that only first and last episode of the season anything interesting happens. So fucking boring. I love JDM but it's just too much Negan

[Anoat]

There's no such thing as too much Negan.

[Tyrath]

^

Episode was fantastic. Idk how anyone could think that was boring.

[djzombie]

This week's episode was super fucking slow. Basically nothing happened until the very last scene.

[Hitoshura]

Goddammit, not this shit again. Just when I thought some consistency was going to happen.

[Obsidian]

We're six (seven?) seasons in, at this point the people expecting wall-to-wall walker murder every episode are retarded.

[djzombie]

I don't expect that but the entire episode, as far as anything that moved the plot forward, could be summed up by the last scene. Could have just watched that last scene and saved myself 40 minutes, and still not missed anything relevant.
