You're right.  I should just go with it.

Rick's got a two-fer on his hands on settlements to dismantle. I think I saw him salivating! Or it was just blood from the guy he killed within an hour of showing up...

i thought his gal sliced the vein  

[McGurk]

Michonne distracted him while he had Rick pinned, and Rick pulled a hidden knife and popped him in the neck. Which led to my favorite line of the night: "What?"

I also thought the banjo and fiddle music was laying it on a bit thick. Felt like I was watching Ken Burns' Civil War documentary for a bit.

happened so fast I thought maybe she stuck him quick from behind to save her man... lol

 

[JBMasterAngler]

Maybe this new settlement should pay more to Negan to be saved from Rick  I like the idea of another settlement though. At this point, they are bound to be popping up all over. Trading from outpost to outpost...it's like the fur trapping days, except with zombies...and an unlimited supply of bullets and gasoline

it was a statement, not a question...

That was a great last 20 minutes. I have to hand it to the show runner last night; the lack of music, the pacing, the camera work... Wow.  That was sweaty-palm TV right there. And that last scene!  I take back some of my earlier gripes (but not all). 

I love Carol.

I knew that episode was going to smooth, there had to be some cliff hanger.

I thought last night was a really good episode again. You get so desensitized to all the violence that you forget what it must be like to have to take a human life... Glenn did an amazing job at portraying that struggle. It was dark and very disturbing. In some respects, the first guy he knifes to the head (while not showing anything at all) was in some ways the most grotesque thing on this show. It's kind of like the "less is more" affect. Like how a hail of gunfire never seems to ring as loud as a single gunshot in a key moment...

Curious to see what comes next. This show feels stronger this year than it has in a while.

Rick's governor speech was really good. I want to look up the governor's version, and see how similar it actually was. Tara seemed to think it was spot on. But yes, really good episode. I had the mindset from the beginning of the invasion that something was going to go wrong, but what? I thought for sure it would have something to do with either Tara or Gabriel. But I was glad to be surprised. However, I'm worried that next week will be a snoozer involving only Maggie and Carol. I hope I'm wrong.

[McGurk]

I'm pretty worried about Maggie.  Her added exposure and importance to the group rarely bodes well for a character on this show.

Well, you were definitely wrong. Holy crappie that was brutal. I have a feeling we haven't seen the last of "The Neegans/Saviors"

The psychological mind F was some of the best Walking Dead screenwriting so far. Very well done. I'd put this episode at one of the best yet

[JBMasterAngler]

Pleasantly surprised they were able to make this into a pretty good episode. A lot of the deaths were pretty creative as well. The whole, "who is Negan?" is interesting. 

[McGurk]

I'd say this episode was pretty solid.  2/2 over the last 2 weeks.

Negan will be a force to be reckoned with

[JBMasterAngler]

My biggest problem with the episode, was the fact that a chronic smoker suffering from emphysema still had a pack(s) of cigarettes to smoke 5 years into an apocalypse. Alcohol and tobacco would be looted before food and guns! With that being said, these latest episodes have been good enough for me to overlook such things.

Not that it matters much, but less than 2 years have passed since Rick woke up in the Hospital.

Negan, himself was actually blown to pieces. He was the dude on the bike that confronted Darryl, Ginger and Sasha.

But "Negan" as an ideology may still be a force depending on who's actually left.

[eyeguy 54]

thats what I am talking about

No, Negan hasn't appeared yet.
