Yeah, Tara doesn't have anyone to eyeball right now.

So, maybe we will see Negan by the season finale.

Nah, just Rick being Rick.

How did you forget that Tara is a lesbian? She is still around.

Aaron?

Homeboy definitely doesn't have street smarts.

I think they are heading down the road of him being the CDC's answer to Julia's tip off.

I am surprised I am actually really engrossed in this episode. The show seems to have found its feet. At least for now.

I actually didn't enjoy this one as much as the previous two, but all the change you noted were welcome. Aaron could have easily made this episode bad, but the interactions between him and Cole were spot on. That airbag scene is one of my favorites so far. While the alternate reality scene felt rushed, the exchanges…

This is shaping up to be a pretty badass first season.

The point of the hooker scene was to show that Svetlana and her chicas are out to make as much money as possible (she did specifically ask for the father to not come in with the mother).

Honestly, the malaise in this episode didn't bother me. This season has shown that the show will never be as good as it was in season 1 (although it seemed early on that season 5 would be a close second) so I content to take what we get until it dips down to season 3 quality again. I am really nervous that the show…

I really hope Aaron's bunch are religious bozos. Got to hit that cliche at some point.

Yeah, we just have to accept that it will never get back on the rails.

Cole is like a brother to him. Whether we like to admit it or not, family trumps all.

Fictional characters really need to learn not to confront scheming people by themselves.

Sure, he is a bit flat. Given how colorful some of the other characters are, it makes it feel a bit more even for me.

I guess I am alone in liking Cole. I am glad he is the time traveler and not Ramse. Ramse is def a better character, but I can't see the past sequences working with him.

I don't know if I buy the Jones-Railly connection. In fact, part of me thinks the virus is all Jones' fault and that she for some reason is reluctant to trust Railly beyond the potential corruption of the mission.

Yeah, Dr. Whispers is raising his voice, the characters are actually getting into vulnerable situations and they aren't dragging out Peter's Ilaria connection.
