Agreed with you and Jane. I suspect that Nardole IS capable of being a badass; he doesn't enjoy the responsibility of being a badass but he's up to it.

"Zuul's Petals"

Re Shiva — I don't think that Negan has ever been inside the Kingdom's walls, and I think it's rare that Shiva ventures outside. It was explained earlier that the deal between the Saviors and the Kingdom was struck when they encountered each other outside. If Negan's people had ever ventured into the Kingdom, it…

I've read that it's actually, "We take, we don't barter" (which is a bit silly because she appears to initiate a lot of bartering).

1) Dwight carves the wooden soldiers. Daryl had been given one when they first met; iirc, Dwight took it back. Then, when Daryl was scrounging for food and clothes before he escaped, he spotted the carved figures on the end table and realized he was in Dwight's room. As for the text, Dwight was trying to let them…

What were Jadis and Negan haggling over, with the '10' and '12' positions?

I'd have liked it more if they left 20 guns. It would have been a good call-back to what Rick thought was fair.

Nothing bizarre about the value of a blueberry bush. They keep giving.

She might've been contemplating how to weaponize him. It wouldn't be the first time we've seen that. She doesn't have a lot of resources at that point.

I didn't take it as representative of the entire group. There would be a faction, just as there is at the Hilltop and the Kingdom, who have been wanting to fight. Also, given that the Oceansiders have been extremely isolationist (they haven't participated in trade, as the other groups have, and have been openly…

"Who told Negan that Rick is up to no good?" Would Gregory have completed his errand by the time Negan makes that statement?

Rick demanding that Daryl kneel would indeed be a plot twist.

Yes.

Some good moments but for me they didn't add up to a good episode. In addition to highlights others have mentioned, I liked Enid hearing Sasha's pitch, then calmly stating how it would be.

One of the plusses of the Hilltop was that it had been a functioning historical site, complete with a forge. (The sort of site you might take a class trip to.)

I saw it as "lack of surprise." He ID'd the scenario immediately. I took it as a matter of, not if, but when.

I'm okay with that, because it emulates how these scenarios play out in real life. Look at appeasement in WWII.

I just realized that Sarah Michelle Gellar and Sonequa Martin-Green have the same initials.

If it was a mutually agreed-upon plan, why was Richard saying he should be the one to lead them into battle?

Well said. I'll add "too casually willing to view others as expendable." I don't think Morgan knows about Richard's attempt to set up Carol (not as though Daryl would have volunteered that) but Richard didn't seem to feel any loss for Benjamin; his reaction was, "We can use this."

I liked this one enough to…
