I think these excerpts from the novel "Flashman and the Redskins" are interesting fodder for discussion in relation to what we've seen on this show so far involving Native Americans:

Except there was a zombie in the ticket booth, implying that the fair was still going on.
While Negan is nutty as a shithouse rat, I think one could make a pretty good life with the Saviors, while not necessarily becoming a horrible person. I honestly can't blame Eugene too much for falling in line (if that's what he's doing). He was never totally accepted with Rick's crew, and often the butt of jokes.…
The countdown is irrelevant- nothing Earth can do about it anyway.
I realize they managed to destroy an alien ship this time, but otherwise they almost exclusively kill humans. How does this hurt aliens exactly? If violence gets out of hand, the aliens can simply destroy the city from orbit. The world is already conquered, and there are no human resources remotely able to take Earth…
I thought Negan acted out of character in this episode. Before, he had his rules, and was actually pretty non-threatening unless those rules were broken. Here, Spencer just tries to sweet-talk him and he gets gutted? Hell, he still never punished Carl, and didn't even kill the guy whose face he burned with an iron.
Wouldn't Stein simply believe he ALWAYS had a daughter? Diggle doesn't recall any difference in the sex of his child.
There are sentient gorillas on this Earth- they are called "gorillas".
Why even have Arya get stabbed so many times (including with the dagger being turned inside her), and then have her basically recover in a day or two to the point of it almost not happening at all? I understand that the story wanted her back with the actress (for some reason), but it could have gone down differently. …
The nuclear weapon angle was ridiculous. So, Felicity and Mr. Terrific figured out in about 5 minutes how to render obsolete the world's nuclear missiles - something the US and Russia have been attempting to do for decades? Anyone remember the "Strategic Defense Initiative"?
So, the giant robot was so slow it was going to take an hour to reach the time ship- but it could run if it wanted to since it did so when it saw Ray? And speaking of Ray: his cgi giant face looked pretty bad.
- So analog signals magically appear on very device- including smartphones and desktop computers?
Seems like Rick was pretty confident that the Saviors were going to trade both Maggie and Carol for the SINGLE one of theirs. The Saviors easily could have just shot either Carol or Maggie and said- okay, now we can do an even trade.
These kinds of city wide "apocalypse" stories always rang false to the point of ridiculousness. Is the entire USA gone, or did we just sacrifice a city to gangs of thugs? Advanced tech is just left behind in a warehouse? Oliver lives in his lair… Where does he get food and other necessities? There didn't seem to…
How could Zoom be the Jay we know? Wasn't he tested many times and found to have no speed force? Also, wasn't he given the Velocity stuff from Kaitlyn? Didn't he also nearly get himself killed by Geomancer? How then could he be the ultra fast and ultra strong Zoom?
So how did Deanna get to the woods? She was upstairs about to be ripped apart by dozens of Walkers when we last saw her. That was ridiculous.
So how is it that Savage can't be killed? I can understand (I guess) that he could re-animate after being shot or something. But vaporized?? What's left to come back? He's not a time traveler… he literally wouldn't exist at that point.
While I normally love Berlanti shows, sometimes he goes a little to far in the suspension of disbelief department. Toyman just breaks out of prison and has the whole factory set up to capture Supergirl? Lucy Lane was in the military (and briefing the Joint Chiefs of Staff(?)) and suddenly can just go become general…
You're 100% right about the blackmail plot.
Sometimes I wonder why I watch the show- the Crawleys and all their supposed "problems" just annoy me, and the servants' issues are just not that interesting lately.
