If I were Damon, I'd leave Mystic Falls in my dust whilst flipping everyone the bird.

they keep throwing the mythology out the window

I do worry about the writers' ability to maintain the strength of the pairing

Completely agree about Damon, it's like the writers are afraid that any growth in his character will render him un-attractive, so they have to keep hammering home what a dick he is. WE GET IT, LET'S MOVE ON.

That's unfortunate. The show has never worked as well as the pilot did for me, but Beharie leaving means there's now no chance for it to regain what briefly worked so well.

He does have a very lovely face.

Rick is not getting payback. This IS the payback.

NO ONE IS HAPPY!!!

Ya your friend's an idiot (sorry). This is probably the second most important death in the comic and probably the most important death on the show and they turned it into a hashtag.

And Extant, and Supernatural, and Watchmen and my dreams…

You know this episode might not have been so bad, if it happened 3 episodes ago. Pushing Negan's entrance to the finale was only gonna end in disappointment.

Next month instead of six I'm thinking, since it's going to start shooting again in May. Gimble said the premiere will feature a time jump too.

This is lousy, manipulative storytelling

There will be a lot of Carl stuff coming now that Negan is being introduced into the show. I think you'll be seeing a lot of him next season.

I'll take that bet.

The only thing I'm pretty sure about it is that Carol and Morgan will not meet Negan this season. Carol may die from her wounds (though I doubt it) but it won't be from Lucille.

They were scavengers, the one Morgan saved was their leader and they are all dead now. I'm pretty sure we're done with them.

She's working up to it.

No more good guys.

This show is so strange to me. Why is Elena still the focal point of the story? Was it naive of me to think that once they put her in the box, they might give up some of the angst and drama that constantly surrounded her? (I do however like this Bamon angst, though it does sorta seem like the writers are…
