Good episode. I like the King as well and the guy playing the part really nailed it.

Weird, I keep wanting Rick to die so some new person can be leader.
Sorry my gramma sucks. I do want Rick to die. I meant if Rick dies the show would end right? I mean rick is the main protagonist? My fav character died so I have zero **** anymore. I couldn't care less if they kill the baby. That's how sad I am that Glenn died ;_;

Reasons people are quitting the show:

Scenes intended for shock value only and not really plot devices or entertainment.

It stays true to the comic which is predictive so no real point to the show.

It keeps repeating itself, which is boring. (Negan lineup was like the terminus lineup)

Guy with tiger is pretty lame.

Seven season is long time for any show to hold people's interest.

The characters are super ninja's one moment and yet so stupid the next.

The King Ezekiel character is pretty good. The Asian right hand man is funny too. His mannerisms remind me of anime characters. I think I'm back on board for a bit. I dunno, it seemed refreshing getting away from Rick and the main group. I like their plan using the pigs. It probably wont work, but it shows that he was never a clown, even before his talk with Carol.

I didn't "get" the whole pigs thing. So they are feeding the pigs "the dead" in an attempt to poison the other "tribe"?

Mostly to thumb their noses at them. Kind of like spitting in your fries.

Possibly to poison them, but (1) everyone is already infected with walker blood (if you die, you turn), and (2) if the delivery pickup group dies, more will come to kill them. I'd imagine Negan killed someone important in their group as well, just like he did in Rick's.

Yeah, I think thats the thinking. They dont have the benefit of watching the show and dont know that it probably wont work, but I appreciate the intent. lol
Although it may work if it induces some kind of disease. Who knows what the effect of eating an animal that has eaten diseased and rotting human flesh is. The pig might act as a filter though. Its interesting to know none the less. If it doesnt work at all, then starving people can eat zombie flesh when in a pinch. It shouldnt be too bad as long as its not a steady part of the diet.

The kid told Morgan about how a group got sent out to clear a building and they lost a bunch. Wonder if that that's a cover story for their first encounter with those assholes.

I thought last episode was another good one. This season has been excellent so far IMO.

That happy song they kept playing was an interesting form of torture. It probably would have worked on me.

In my opinion ep2 was a snoozer, I'm just not digging the whole king Ezekiel storyline and think that it's cheesy. Ep3 was much better and am looking forward to the next one when Negan visits Alexandria.

I guess I wasn't into that last episode very much. I should give it another watch cause I didn't pay much attention to it. That fricking song was sure annoying though; that fuckin thing would've cracked me inside of 15 minutes.

I'm not digging Carol's deal at all. I don't really understand what they are trying to do with that character. Nothing she does seems to make sense. She wants to die but can't stop defending herself. She doesn't want to be with anyone else because she doesn't want to have to kill people to defend anyone else but she is fine killing people to defend herself. She won't be a part of the community but she'll live right outside the community. She is just acting like a petulant child.

Well, look at her history:

1. She started out as a battered woman
2. Then her husband was killed
3. Then her daughter turned into a zombie
4. Then she killed the big guy's girlfriend, who was sick, but hadn't turned yet, so she got kicked out of the prison & had to live on her own. She hardened up.
5. Then she ended up saving the crew from the Termites & basically turned into the Terminator.
6. Then her conscious started to grow back, partly triggered by Morgan.

Very few people actually want to die, even when things get bad; she is simply feeling the catch-up emotions from her past killings & doesn't know if that's who she wants to be anymore. Morgan is trying to re-integrate her into society, on her own terms.

I get all that but her reactions do not make sense.

I thought this last episode was great. Because this was an episode that only had Daryl from the main group, the new characters had more screen time and are being developed better. We get a better idea of how Negan runs things, and how Dwight has been broken, and is clearly building to up to go up against Negan down the road. Definitely better than episode 2 even though it wasn't very action packed.

Up until they started showing her having flashes of seeing real people in place of the walkers, I agree. Now they're finally starting to show us how she's seeing things and why she's acting the way she is, which was lacking all of last season.

So, how long are they going to draw this "life is bad" story out for? Movies usually take care of that within the first hour.

Really, this guy makes no sense. He literally fucks his right-hand man's wife and burns half his face off. And you're telling me that no one's just capped him yet? People appear to regularly desert. And no one leaves a surprise on the way out?

This episode demonstrated how gun registration and centralized gun storage can be a bad idea.

It is kind of unbelievable that no one has killed Negan yet. All it takes is one person with nothing left to lose to take him out.

That's the thing though... as terrible as a person as Negan is, he's developed enough of an order that life isn't too bad for those that follow him (considering how the world is at this moment). So there's probably plenty of people who were on the brink of taking him out, except they realized that maybe if they just buckled down and dealt with it that they'd be better off. Who knows what would happen to that group if Negan was killed and someone else tried to jump into his position?

I think that's the whole point Negan was trying to make when he gave Rick his bat. There were plenty of times that Negan could have been taken out, even by his own weapon, yet nothing happened. It's just another sign that Rick is getting broken down.

Overall I liked the episode, I just can't stand the commercials. 90minute episode my fat ass... it might have been 5 minutes over usual length and they just filled the rest with commercials
