I really would hate it to be Aaron because I would think he would be a cheap way out. Aaron really isn't one of the main characters. He is more like a red shirt on Star Trek.

Aaron is a two steps above a red shirt. He's a recurring character like Scotty or Sulu.

Sugarpop has slowed down the audio and you can hear the people form Rick's group yelling out a name. You can Google it to find out who's head was at the end of the bat.

They were shouting Glenn Glenn, however the audio was fake.

I feel there's a traitor in Rick's group. Could be Jesus, could be Enid. Enid gave Maggie the pickles before she got sick and has been spending time with her....

I liked most of the episode, until they wimped out at the end and didn't show what they've been building up to. We should be talking about the ramifications of Rick's actions and how it got "insert character" killed and how bad ass Negan and his group is, but all we're talking about is how lame they made the end...

That's what pissed me off the most. They introduced this major villain to the show, and have been telling us we've seen nothing like him before. We should be talking about what they're going to do for revenge on Negan and how they can get out of the situation (not the being on their knees in the field but the fact Negan has them by the short hairs) and instead the only things getting talked about really are: how bad the ending was and who got wacked. Such a miss.. I still say I should only be mad at myself as I should have known they'd fuck it up.

I don't think most people care at this point. That, and the bullshit cliff hanger was so egregious that it overshadows everything else.

And it's not just because of the ending but how they hyped it. THAT is what really pisses people off. We get lied to and deceived enough in real life that I don't think we have as much patience for it when writers and producers do it.

Just look at how many people absolutely hated the ending to LOST but also how many people loved it. What the writers don't understand or chose to ignore is that the viewers who hate something will inevitably color how other viewer see something, especially if the hate group has good, identifiable reasons for hating it.

I'm definitely in that camp. Growing up with television you tend to set a pretty low bar for entertainment. Especially if you grew up when your main choices were network tv. So when I hear someone criticize a show and give me good reasons for their criticisms, it colors how I then view the show. Not because I'm weak willed but because I'm open minded and start seeing things in a different light as a result.

Obviously Negan wanted to capture them alive and aside from the entire "how could they know they were desperate to get to Hilltop and they just won't turn around" thing, who in the world wouldn't assume that Rick and his marauders wouldn't shoot their way through the first small and lightly manned roadblock? Before this episode if you asked anyone "What would Rick do" in that situation I don't know anyone who wouldn't assume that he'd kill everyone and keep on going.

And in post apocalyptic survival mode who in the hell purposely and knowingly walks into an ambush especially after the learned that they were way bigger with a fuckton more resources than they first thought???

Who here would have rushed Negan when he picked them for the killing? I mean what did they have to lose?

The writing on that was lulz... Knowing how many people were out there, you'd think that Rick would turn around back home after the second ambush -- ya, he had to get Maggie help, or get everyone killed trying?

And the first road block was so light, he could have overtaken it easily by turning around, dismounting and attacking by surprise -- a dozen of them just killed a few dozen Saviors recently.

Speaking of having something to lose... The original Glenn/Michonne capture was bullshit. While they were kind of in an open area between trees, the Savior group was well off in the distance, and it was still a wooded area. Daryl and Rosita were a minute or two away, and Glenn and Michonne were well armed, so it looked like they gave in way too easy. Dive for cover, hope for the best, versus be captured and used as bait and becoming liabilities for the rest of your people.

These last two episodes just felt so contrived.

I'd only rush him if he picked me. At the point when they were on their knees there were no good options, except not getting picked and living.

What wasn't clear is if they were also blocking their way back. I also thought that fighting the first group might have been a mistake because there could have been lots more waiting out of sight.

Yeah, that's what I meant if he picked you.

I dont know why I didnt read it that way the first time.

Their hands were tied...a rush wouldn't have done anything.

Headbutt to the nuts! Or pull a Eugene and go for the dick bite. And I'd even take off running and make him chase me. Who cares at that point. You're going to crap yourself when you're dead so there is no such thing as dignity in death.

Which is also why everyone getting out of the r/v and walking up to them was completely idiotic/out of character and only served to force some inane dialogue on us. Why the hell would you get out of the r/v when a group of guys with guns (who you know is the enemy) is standing there and you have no idea what could be in the woods?

It was completely anti-Rick who they have shown blows people away without blinking. O hey... bad guys. Let's all get out and go talk to them. Hmm talking was boring... let's drive around some more! The Rick they force fed us all season would either have walked out of the r/v shooting or backed it out of there while a few of them sneak out to ambush the Saviors. The Rick they gave us in the finale was not the Rick they gave us all season.

Um... They didn't get out of the RV to walk up to Negan's group... They let Eugene take the RV and were trying to sneak through road blocks.

Does the rest of ATOT watch The Walking Dead like you watch The Walking Dead?

/edit Judging by the comments since my last reply.... it looks like it does.

And even the slowed audio doesn't sound like anybody screaming Glenn. It just sounds like a hysterical woman screaming.

Or you could be less obtuse and realize that I was responding to the person talking about the first group they approached. Perhaps you were asleep during the 5 minute conversation about treating people like it might be his "last day on earth"? Does the rest of ATOT reading comprehend like you do?

While everyone on the last two pages is talking about who Negan killed and why they don't like the cliffhanger, you're talking about what happened in the first 5 minutes of the episode.

Reading comprehend? Is that a verb?

My co-workers theory is that it is Aaron, as he was spying on them initially right after Terminus, and acting as a scout for Alexandria. He had his reasons, but I didn't really follow along with him on his points.

You seriously can't be as retarded as you are making yourself seem. Unless you write for AMC, in which case it is believable. Look at the post I quoted. Look at the guy he was quoting. If for some reason you still can't understand that they were talking about the first encounter and so was I, then I am really hoping you are not in a profession that we entrust the care/safety of our children to or that is tasked with making decisions more complicated than "hey, where should we unload this truck?"

They picked up some RPGs recently. That would have been good to take out the first group in the road.

Pretty sure they ran out of ammo: one for the group of bikers, one or two to light the pond on fire.
