That's good, we'll finally have some action in the next few episodes. Hopefully a plan will be drawn up, and then Rick and Co will storm the place, taking what they have and HOPEFULLY no one will die. HOPEFULLY.
As for Jesus' settlement. I liked it. It's weak but it's interesting to see. Hopefully they won't betray them. HOPEFULLY.
Shame there aren't any good zombie games where you have to deal with your own settlement and others around you, in a similar manner.
Has everyone just stopped watching The Walking Dead, or does no one really want to talk about it anymore?
I enjoyed the last two episodes. The Walking Dead is good for it's slow paced scenes, mostly because you know something's going to happen, and you're just waiting for it to happen. With Carol it was obvious, and I did enjoy how they took them down with barely any weapons.
One thing that annoyed me was that I knew Paula was from another show, after checking her IMDB it turned out she was in a recent episode of Elementary which explained a lot, but upon further review. She was also in Twin Peaks. Now that's something.
I missed last weeks episode, so I had to watch two last night.
Honestly, I think that the raid (I think that's the right word) on Negan's camp was a little underwelming. I expected a lot more struggle but it was still good. Also, I felt myself wanting to cry after seeing Glen kill his first person. He looked so distrubed and unfomterble with the whole scene. Good job to Steven Yeun for making me feel for his charicter.
I really enjoyed this week's episode. Carol has had to put on this Betty Home-maker persona for so long that I think this evint has made her question which one she prefers. That's what I got out of it but thinking about it a little. Also I like the story that the chick tells Carol. It sorta sums up not only what Carol has gone through in the show (going in weak and frightened and coming out hard) but what a good deal of people have gone through.
This was a very emotional episode. Eugene's whole story was pretty interesting, but he's starting to get on my nerves. You don't start back talking the guy that protected your sorry ass since you met him just because you can make ammo and you started to learn how to use a machete. However you have to applaud someone who can think on his feet..... umm i mean knees and is willing to bite another man's junk to provide a distraction.
Denise.... poor Denise. All she wanted was to help and make Tara happy. She's look down on and verbally beaten just for trying to do what she thinks is right. I thought she was going to die multiple times, but knowing that they have doctors in the Hilltop, her death feels a little cheapened.
All I have to say for the ending is that who ever dies in the season finale is all Carol's fault. You run away and leave a note that says "Don't come looking for me," and you expect people to not come looking for you? Do you even know who Rick Grimes is? You should have left without leaving a note, but even then Rick and Daryl will still come looking for you.
Honestly, I understand a character like Eugene perfectly. He survived this long with his lies, and now when push comes to shove he has to act, and believes that he knows exactly how because he's seen everyone else do it. The way he acts is also perfect, he was obviously someone no one listened to, and believes that the way he speaks and acts is the way everyone should act in this situation. He is still oblivious to A LOT of things, but is ironically too stupid to see. Plus, he's not very sociable so I guess the norms aren't really something he picked up. I'm just happy people humour him at least, last thing I need is for someone to basically tell him to shut the fuck up and belittle every little thing about him for several minutes before he gets angry and someone dies.
Also, what did Carol do? My mind draws a blank to the last moments of that episode, mostly because I was trying to remember who the guy who shot Denise was.

Carol left the camp because she knew that they were going to want her to protect and kill and she knew that after episode 13 (where she killed her kidnappers and saw what she could become, which she does not like), she couldn't do that anymore. I can agree that it was probably a good idea for her to leave before she gets someone killed by not killing, but she left a note that she was leaving. Normally this would be a good thing (tell her boyfriend(?) andthe rest of the crew that she was leaving), but Rick and the gang are pretty good at looking for people and that's what their doing. Looking for her. This will definitely cause them to run into Negan. The
REAL Negan.
Also the guy that shot Denise was Dwight. He's the guy that Daryl ran into after he crashed his bike. If you remember, he's the one that stole Daryl's crossbow and bike and he had a chick with him. Not to spoil anything from future episodes, but the chick and Dwight's burn scars are connected. We'll be seeing alot more of Dwight in the upcomeing seasons.
This latest episode was ho-hum for me. But, it looks like we're in for a really, really .....something..... season finale.
I'm going to say this now, I really, really, REALLY wanted to like this episode all the way. The episode was going so well most of the way and was building up to a great ending, but it seemed like it was going nowhere for a long time and the cliffhanger ending just ruined it for me. Don't get me wrong, Jeffrey Dean Morgan did a good job at being Negen (he did not bring the Negen from the comics to life but he made a new Negen for the show which is what I expected) and I was laughing at his casual mannor while still being scared of what was going to happen next, so I do like what they did with Negen (mostly). That ending on the other hand......... *Sigh*
Let me just sum it up with this clip:
I'm sorry Walking Dead writers, but I'm not sure if I want to continue watching it if this is how you pay off the hype you built up.
The one thing I always like about The Walking Dead is that you know all of those people are going to die, run away or surrender to Rick and his group.
So even with all of the of the stuff that's happened, you know they're going to come out on top. Could take a season or two though.
It seemed as if the one that was chosen was Eugine to me. I mean knowing the writers, they still haven't decided. It's obviously not Rick, Daryl or Carl. Plus if it's not Maggie it won't be Glenn either and vice versa. The only people it could be are Michonne (which I also doubt), Sasha (since because of that bit with Abraham, obviously they'll want to mess with that), Abraham (for the same reason), Rosita (mostly because she was there) and Eugine (Because for a lot of people, they don't really care for him and seeing him die wouldn't actual matter to a lot of fans), Aaron (mostly because he's there). Although, I did see Daryl in a movie trailer a few weeks ago, I doubt he'd take on a role like a movie as well as filming the Walking Dead since he's a pretty major character. It might be him, given the circumstances.
This episode was reminded me of the first season surprisingly. Morgan goes around on the horse, much like Rick did in the first episode, and having to get someone to a location via an RV because they're in danger and need help. I did enjoy the Morgan and Carol bits. Nothing much happened, but it's nice to know that there are still several people running about outside doing stuff and meeting allies.
It was a tense episode, and they had wayyyy to much build up at the end and nothing to show for it. I think it would've been better of Negan went up to Rick's face and made him choose the one to get punished.
The only way for Rick to get out of this is obviously to find the other groups and unite with them. I mean with everyone at Alexandria including themselves, the Hilltop Colony, the two people who asked Morgan what happened to Carol and their group.They could have around 150-200 people to fight.
I do hope that when Rick does get the upper hand, and Negan's group is only down to around 10 or so, and they try to escape. They pull the same BS, blocking the roads until they can't escape and then making him kneel down in front of him. It'd be sweet revenge.
Still, I enjoy how Rick has had to deal with more and more people. With Season 1 and 2, you had small groups. By Season 3 and 4 you had Woodberry and Sanctuary. By Season 5 you had the wolves, and now you have Negan and his group for Season 6 and for what I assume is going to be Season 7 and possibly 8.
(Copy/pasted from
my facebook group, so those of you in the group have seen this before.)
Overall, I don't think this episode is getting enough credit. I know everyone is pissed because we don't have immediate satisfaction of our curiosity. I'm not happy about it either, but I believe the finale was more about Negan's arrival and not about one of our owns departure. I think the first episode will be about saying goodbye to whoever it was, seeing our group deal with it, and give us an entire episode to grieve.
I liked the finale. I loved the way the RV group tried their damnedest to get Maggie to the Hilltop. I love the fact that each group of Saviors they came across was a little bigger than the last. The buildup to Negan's arrival was great (although terrifying) in my opinion. The little speech from the main guy of the first group was great and really set the tone for the whole episode. Not to mention watching Rick's face go from 100% confident Rick we all know and love, to scared shitless Rick knowing he fucked up and can not fix it. One of my favorite things about how Andrew Lincoln portrays Rick is his use of facial expressions.
I absolutely loved the scenes with Carol and Morgan. They are some of my favorite characters. I was losing faith in Morgan, but not anymore. Nothing made me happier than to see him kill someone to save Carol. That shows that if it reeeeeeeeeeally comes down to it, he is able to stand up and fight. It may also show that he is realizing that the Saviors can't be saved. I am excited about this new group of (seemingly) allies that are helping Morgan with Carol and her injuries. We know that they trade with the Hilltop, they have horses, and they wear some sort of armor. I want to find out more about them on the show.
So, although I hate the fact that we'll have to wait until October to know who got Lucille'd, I really liked the episode. I thought it was a great way to introduce Negan. They needed to show just how evil he is and they did, in my opinion.

Holy shit. I love TSDF. I wonder why this didn't pop up on my facebook? (Stupid facebook fucking up my newsfeed again). It's scary to think AMC is somehow able to get ahold of the page's admin's families and workplaces.

Facebook shouldn't be used as a news platform. It wasn't a good one initially either.
I don't care much for Facebook and any "news" isn't very reliable; some links are news sites and such, but there is more bull$H!+ than anything. I have seriously contemplated deleting my profile, but I haven't only to keep in touch with family and share pictures. I'm on VG more than Facebook. Maybe.
Getting ready for October 23. Let's see who Negan killed!
On another note, I'm really enjoying Fear the Walking Dead. The season 2 finale was good, imo.
