Good question. He said he had lost family. Those were milk bottles. My thought was that that was where he and his family had tried to make a life, and that he had a young child. I think it was his home before he joined up with the Kingdom.

That solidarity smile montage really was over the top. I began laughing well before it ended (and I was half-expecting a cut-in of Grumpy Cat). I think I know what the director was trying to do, but it should have been obvious that it was a fail.

Carol could cobble something together out of sassafras and beets (for sweetness).

I'm about Carol's age and looking forward to retirement. I have to say … her setup looked pretty sweet. I know, I'm projecting, but I can understand why she'd want everyone to leave her alone so she can read a good book in peace and quiet by a crackling fire in the fireplace.

I enjoyed her flipping the psychological ploys he was trying to use on her.

I think it's that he believed they had a deal. He was risking his life and working like hell to honor that deal, but Negan and his people acted as though no deal was ever struck. It's the same thing that has been on Richard's mind, when he attempts to sway Carol and Morgan; he knows that the deal The Kingdom made…

I thought the smiling montage was maybe a nod to "Too Many Cooks."

She headed to where she had found the pile of burned mattresses. If there were a lot of tire tracks there, she would know it's a route they use often. I think she just followed the tracks from the mattresses until she was some distance from Alexandria and had a good vantage point.

Funny! I'll admit, though, that "You are my sunshine" was my mother's lullabye. It was a bit shocking when I realized later that there were lyrics beyond the chorus and those lyrics were very dark.

I don't think anyone would want current-ep Daryl working in food service.

I don't buy this myself, but I think they might be going for this: Unlike Alexandria, the people following Negan were leading solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and (likely) short lives (apologies to Thomas Hobbes). As abusive as he is, he offers them a haven and food. He's managed to convince them that their…

In Rosita's defense, she did taunt Spencer about likely having a car-full of stuff stowed somewhere for his own private benefit that he could use as his "tax."

Considering that, in Eugene's final conversation with Abraham, Abraham had acknowledged Eugene's worth, I think Eugene really didn't give a damn what Rosita had to say about that matter.

I liked it. Remember, Tara and Heath had just come from the groups' first bloodbath of people who had personally done them no harm. Glen spared Heath from spilling blood. Still, Heath was struggling with what went down. Then Tara finds herself in an equally unforgiving situation. It's only by the spark of mercy…

Eugene was working on restoring an audio system before Negan showed up at Alexandria; he said he was hoping that it might be considered an acceptable "tribute." Maybe the Saviors did find a use for it. Eugene's explanation of his project seemed an odd choice to include, otherwise. Perhaps some exposition didn't…

"You say you h-hate it?" Gregory, with a fleeting sense of relief, pulling the bottle of Scotch closer to himself.

Nerd moment, here — As a former owner of an AMC Gremlin, I know they weren't exactly state of the art in their prime. They had AM and FM radios — but there would be no signals to broadcast in the ZA. Later models had cassette tape decks, at best. So whatever was blasting that music had to be some external player…

Now you have me thinking that the AMC Gremlin wasn't a random choice by the producers.

I think that's respectful. The actress just gave birth to her first child. Those running the show didn't see that as reason to write her out. Damn, I wish we could see that more often. I'm willing to wait and it makes me happy that she is in the main cast.

Was that an AMC Gremlin?
