Negan will probably become a hero which will make the show look ridiculous as someone that came into the show like he did should not be redeemed imo.

for the next episode, i've seen a teaser i think dwight is a goner since Negan approached him and said surprised to see me, i hope so cause i've got plenty of surprises, he knows that dwight had been playing both sides

Ok I actually enjoyed this! I was a tad sad because a YouTube title ruined Simon's death despite the fact the episode hadn't even aired in the USA when I first saw it :bawling: but Simon's FANTASTIC. I never really understood the beef with Negan (and based on everyone's reactions to the fist fight, I don't think anyone else did)

More Rosita :clap1: more Rosita clocking Eugene :clap1: I would've been more interested in seeing Tara pairing up with Rosita because the occasional Daryl and Rosita pairups make NO sense to me. They never interact except when they're out and about. Tara and Rosita are just partners in a similar way to Rick and Daryl! And given Tara is the only surviving member of GREAT besides Eugene and Rosita, she's arguably the closest person to Eugene bar Rosita so I certainly would've liked to see how she'd deal with it rather than Daryl who has like, never interacted with Eugene :skull:

Josh McDermitt's acting is great as usual but my god I hate Eugene :joker: (although with Eugene's character, both those points go hand in hand). Fingers crossed Eugene hearing Rosita drag him will encourage him to **** up the bullet supply (which is why I think he's brought Gabriel back into the production)

Also a few small questions were answered in this episode! Like we found out Simon killed the boys/men at Oceanside (which was a given anyway but still nice and iterates how Negan held/has the view of people being a resource, even if it's been challenged recently)
Oh and Gabriel's illness. While not an official diagnosis, I'm glad they sorta addressed how it was actually due to mishandling of guts and isn't in his blood, hence why he wasn't killed off like the redshirts people at Hilltop
Laura!! I was very confused as to who was in the car with Negan when we didnt see Laura pop up but then she did and it made sense for Negan to lead Dwight on, so he'd send the wrong details to the Hilltop. Although Rick and Michonne seemed apprehensive regarding the apparent plan so god knows if they'll do as Dwight advised

I'm hoping Oceanside save the day. I mean, they have to - Aaron, a somewhat main character, has essentially been MIA for half a season trying to get them to fight, and given how the Saviors wont expect them and Oceanside don't know about the plan, they'll be able to ambush them

Ok im done here because I'm just noticing obvious details rather than giving opinions but Im SO glad this war business is almost over

Eugene now doesn't care anymore about Rick's group how Rosita insulted him, i think some of the militia or maggie/rick group might die in next week's finale, oceanside could save them, Negan was so badass and Laura exposed Dwight and now Dwight did send the fake plan to Rick, so strategically this is good for Negan and the saviors, i think it will end with Rick winning, most of the saviors dead and Negan captured, so Negan can also be in season 9, the foreshadowing of Negan seeing that helikopter flying over the junkyard, i can see Negan giving that information to Rick in next season if he is in captivity

Good point. That helicopter has to be brought up next season or season 10, and I can only wonde WHAT. I doubt Jadis would tell anyone willy nilly, so we're kinda relying on Negan to leak that information

Eugene himself did recognise hat he did what he did to save Rosita and has since been doing what he's done since to survive, but Eugene's in a very powerful position. The quality of the bullets has been raised now, and yes the purpose of Eugene creating bullets was to get him away from Rick and Co and make him a Savior, but what was the point of that if it wasn't to have some pay-off? Especially with his abilities being brought up and required over a season after being captured for just that/2 seasons after his ability to make bullets was established? Eugene's ability to make bullets wasn't even mentioned in 7b or 7a and was only brought up halfway through 8b)
I definitely think Eugene's gonna switch sides now. And it'd just make sense narratively, he's always had this issue of doing what's right for the people around him and doing what's right for himself, I believe he's finally gonna realise he has to stop being selfish as Rosita drilled in his head

eh I'm just rambling but i'm just praying they use the next episode to round off and establish some good Eugene development by getting him back on Rick's side (and us back on his side bc Eugene has been greatly unlikeable even if Josh's acting is FANTASTIC) on his own terms rather than Rick taking him prisoner alongside Negan

i am wondering could this vision have been a hint at what the future is going to be like, since Rick is getting that same grey beard more and more now either
