No shit sherlock. Thanks for the update.

I don't know, I kinda liked it.

GoT has made me afraid to like any character for any length of time. For a while, TWD was the same way. Now that they've shown us everyone with more than a few minutes of screentime is bulletproof, who cares? I want major character deaths. I want to be angry and shocked and sad.

I don't think it was only because they just killed off a gay character. I'm leaning more towards Rosita. Sasha would be great too, because Abraham would lose his shit and just be a giant ginger revenge machine.

Well said. I feel the same way. I was half hoping that they would have learned something from the dumpster debacle, but sadly they did not. I was excited tonight at the prospect of seeing the brutal onscreen death of an important character, which was telegraphed and hinted at for months, and was given a crappy POV

It would be nice to know what's up with Gendry these days.

Yeah, when Gimple tried to pull that shit on Talking Dead I nearly threw the remote at the tv. The fuck is that?? And how would the average Joe viewer make those comparisons based on what scant knowledge we were given on Negan up to this point? It's mind boggling.

He would be wrong about that. Ten minutes of menace sustained the episode? After 80 minutes of filler and ridiculous dialogue/plots/situations?

No, there is nothing meaningful about this at all. How can it be, when we don't know who it was? That's just …. wow.

Good point. Even one episode back would have been ok.

It would have been far ballsy-er to just end the episode with an actual character actually dying onscreen at that moment.
This was manipulation. And it was cheap.

And you know that baby bashing sound how?

I disagree. I think it was a solid C regardless of dead body. Needlessly long, badly written in many places, ridiculous plot points (locking Whiny in the closet, everyone and their brother taking off with Rick and leaving Spencer and Gabriel in charge…).

Yeah, I kinda wanted to jump into the tv at that point and smack him. I kept hoping Maggie would just say "Sure Rick, ever since we met my life has been SUPER! Thanks, dickhead!"

I suppose so.

In all honesty, I don't hate the episode. I thought it ran too long - the Carol/Morgan storyline could have waited until next season, in my opinion. I just seriously disliked the ending. I thought it was a cheap way to do it. Show us the damn body, it's not that much to ask. As others have said, it removes all the

Find out in seven months on…. Soap!

I was honestly too busy thinking how bad the cg was in that shot.

What kind of bugs me the most is Gimple explaining this "cliffhanger" ending away as being good storytelling, and how it doesn't matter, really, who got killed, because this was the story of Rick's whatever because reasons. We were all expecting a death, we wanted to see that death. I don't know why Kirkman and Gimple

So I spent the entire episode wildly speculating on who would die. Abe starts talking about having babies - he gonna die. Eugene does something heroic - he gonna die. And then they pull this shit. I'm getting really tired of this show and the antics.
