Elijah broke my heart too. I am over Marnie's obsession of making everything about her. I can't be sympathetic towards her. She hasn't grown at all, (neither has Jessa).

I guess I'm biased towards Lennie James. Watching Morgan have a flashback to the episode "Clear" (I loved that episode) and to his wife and son got me teary-eyed. I don't think he's betraying everything Eastman taught him either. Morgan had to meet him & go through that, but he also had to wake up and be present to…

Yea, i thought we'd all figured this out last week…that he's playing the long game to survive and at the same time, plot/help Rick et al.

Rosita needs to stop acting like she's the only person in the world to have ever gotten hurt. All her actions are based on emotion and are selfish. It's getting tiring. So now she's going to go off with Sasha and f*uck up any plans that Rick has. Great.

The episode was ok. I'm fine with lighthearted, reflective episodes. That didn't mean that I didn't keep thinking, 'okay, they're smiling and are relaxed…something bad is going to happen, someone is going to get an arrow through their skull."
The scene where Rick talks about his grief over not being able to save…

He did. I immediately thought of The Jerk and started laughing.

this is the second review I've read where the writer has said just that.
Believing Eugene would become a traitor is too easy. He's playing chess.

He's one of my favorite writers b/c he doesn't need to graphically scare you; he gets inside your head. I loved Shawshank, The Green Mile and The Shining.

YES!
"I don't need anything…except this. And that's the only thing I need is *this*. I don't need this or this. Just this ashtray… And this paddle game. - The ashtray and the paddle game and that's all I need.. and this remote control. - The ashtray, the paddle game, and the remote control, and that's all I need…and…

It was more. I'm hoping that the writers of TWD can pull it off.

Ok, now I guess I have to read/watch The Stand. I can't believe I've never read it.

I don't for one second think Eugene went over to the dark side. He's playing chess; the long game. He lied about his credentials—the same lie he told Abe, Rosita, et al in the earlier seasons. They all bought that lie too.
He watched Negan beat his only friend, Abraham to a pulpy mess, there's no way he'd ever be okay…

I kept waiting for the "gotcha!" moment and was afraid something terrible would happen. SO happy it didn't. I really liked this episode and for once, wasn't freaked out afterward.

Naw, they can't get together. It'd be too icky. I like that they're really good friends who love each other. I actually cried when they hugged and that is a close 2nd to when they hugged in the woods after they all meet up with Carol after she blew up Terminus.

dammit, Walter!

I'm hoping that's not the case b/c I can't handle anymore animal deaths on the show. I think that the Saviors will have to kill Benjamin and that might get Zeke on board with fighting.

" It’s like being held hostage by a gang from The Warriors who stole their theme from the Saw franchise."
This cracked me up for awhile…:)

I was hoping for a Carol-Daryl reunion. I hope we get to see that next week. Maybe it'll be Daryl who talks her into coming back and fighting.
I'd just now realized that it had to have been Father Gabe who was spying on Rick and Aaron when they were at the boat. Didn't they think they heard someone while they were out…

I like the idea of angels, but, I'm not religious. Clarence is my favorite guardian angel though. :)

Even if Hap had the 5th movement, how would it even work b/c he doesn't truly believe? His motives are sinister and self-serving.
