That was a good one :flutter:

Just a warning that there is a huge mid season finale spoiler floating around on the interwebs.

MESS I just saw a spoiler and :oh:

scream I just saw another spoiler and I never thought it'd happen but... it is? :joker:

Shook at the mid season finale spoiler

it's TOO SOON. literally and plotwise :umm2: I want the reasons and NOW!

-

The spoiler for the next episode would've been so great if I didn't have it spoiled for myself and it's annoying because it's something I've (well literally everyone but let me have this!) anticipated for YEARS and now it's ruined!

Shiva in action on tonight's episode :clap1: :clap1: :clap1:

seen that on the sneak preview

The King is such a fresh character. Every scene he is in feels so much more exciting than the rest, he's had about 100 monologues already in the season he has been in it which could have been pretty tiring but the guy playing him just pulls it off so well.

"The damned are upon us!!!" While they're getting swamped by the walkers, just amazing isn't he

Shook at Morales

Glenn to fume that his place in Atlanta Five was taken by one of his original pals who is aligned with the man who bashed his head to smithereens?

(I really wonder if he knows that the 'widow' was married to the guy he went on supply runs with, and I wonder if he knows about how Glenn died :worry:

Tara :love:
Shiva :love:
Jerry :love:

you really do have all the same faves as me omg :love:

It's so BADASS to see Tara go from a woman who was too afraid to fight (see: Governor vs the Prison) to one who was pretty much leading an attack on a Saviors compound :love: and with Jesus no less! (I remain faithful that one day we'll see Rosita and Tara lead an attack one day)

Morales actually returned ffs :laugh: . When The meme actually becomes too real.

Rosita and Michonne being left behind is so annoying cos they're such bad bitches

Shiva :D

Ezekiel :love:

Carol :love:

Yes, I love him, could easily become my favourite character, I hope he features strongly in this season and they don't kill him off or anything.

i'd be more sad if they would kill shiva off, such a beautiful animal :(

thankfully I fell asleep at around 9.15 and missed most6 of the episode but the TL was enthralled

get mr trumpet, shiva :fan:

Christian was preg which is why we never saw below her chest when she was sat down :( I don't know WHY Michonne's just chilling at Alexandria. Is she still meant to be injured from 7x16??

Praying Rosita survives the Whisperers in the TV series so she can get her chance to fight in a war :clap1:

Daryl was a dick tonight. Felt kinda sorry for the guy he shot at the end.

They probably shouldn't have used the King's voice for a voiceover in the preview directly after the episode ended if they wanted that cliffhanger to work.

The scene with Gregory at the gate was good, the interaction with Rick and Morales too although I expected him to have a bigger impact if he ever did return. A bit tired of Morgan now tbh.

Need more Negan and Michonne.

I mean, his outrage is sorta understandable? He's an abuse survivor and he was stripped naked and chained in a dark room and forced to eat dog food for god knows how long. I don't agree with how he's just gone wild with shooting the Saviors, and ESPECIALLY not with Morales. That said, Daryl always acts out so it's hard to even guess if his reasons go that deep, or if the showrunners just want him to be 'badass' to be relevant

Morales had so much potential, and if they wanted to have him for like, ten minutes, they should've had him interact with Carol at least. Carol has had the most development and it's a shame Miranda's confirmed dead because they were friends at the start and I just imagine Miranda would be proud of who Carol has become, especially since she was being abused and was still somewhat vulnerable when Miranda left.

I just wish we knew how Morales' family died... and HOW he ended up in Virginia? Surely you would go and find the rest of your family after losing the rest of yours? Gahh I was hoping this would be answered in a bottle episode of sorts/flashbacks.

Also curious as to how the Saviors took him in. What makes Saviors decide if someone's worth killing or worth taking in? They randomly killed all the men of Oceanside unprovoked so why did they think a lone man would be better to take in? And I know Morales was... with the 'bad side' and was clearly not thinking straight but HOW did he not care about Glenn's death?? Granted it's been over a year and a half but that could've been a great conversation point/make Morales question his morals (heuh)

I may invest my Team Delusional/Defiance efforts into another Team for Morales...

Yeah I don't see the point in even reintroducing him for such a small throw part either

Mess did they kill him already?

you'll have to watch and find out!

I missed it and didn't record so will watch tomorrow!

imo it was an ok episode but it just felt a tad boring?

Actually the saviours don't seem to have much of a criteria for who they take in, other than that they won't be defiant. I'm sure they only killed the oceanside men after they tried to fight back / stay independent? And then the offer was given to the women again after all the men were killed, but instead they packed up and left.

Really he was a prime candidate for them. Someone broken and desperate with nothing left, who would happily "be Negan" after being... "saved". Most of their loyal followers seem to be people who were struggling "out there" on their own and were taken in. Easy to manipulate and gain the unquestioning loyalty of someone who has nothing else left and is desperate for somewhere to belong.

Daryl, Morgan the King and Tara are the only ones with the right attitude towards the saviours IMO, they are sticking with the plan that Rick made and even he can't seem to stick to, kill them on sight before they get word back to the other saviours, look what happens every time they don't, it's about surviving yet Jesus seems to forget that..

I've been feeling a bot meh these 2 episodes tbh, infact the king is the only one keeping me interested for now, not feeling the 'Maggie is a leader push' they've shoved in there, yeah we know she is the leader of the hilltop but so much for wanting revenge for Glenn, she goes along with jesus and allows the saviours to live :rolleyes:

it was a nice episode, i'm slightly worried for ezekiel, but i knew it was a trap by the saviors with their machine guns :(

:clap2:

Jesus and Rick annoyed me most, Rick is a terrible leader, always has been imo

Well now that they've gone down that route they would need to stick to it... but I actually think their tactic with the saviours is completely wrong from the start. Most of them are just scared, normal people who were struggling to get by and latched onto "daddy Negan" for safety and out of gratitude, and became willing to overlook the bad parts in exchange.

If they had quickly, cleanly and quietly assassinated Negan and a select few of his generals... then offered the rest peace / safety as part of a productive wider community... they would have accepted it with relatively little resistance :shrug:.

but that would mean the end of the series TS :fan:

Just the end of this plotline. Though they need Negan around for future storylines I think, but still, you could have them capture Negan and kill his "right hand men" with the same effect.

Shane would have had all this s**t sorted last Season :idc:

I agree with Tara to a degree but I don't think her, Zeek nor Morgan would have shot an unarmed and obviously scared teenager (Todd) like that, it just felt cruel to me, who are the bad guys again?

Everyones bad though its a must for survival, Daryl was tortured by the saviours, lots of their friends and loved ones have been killed by them some horifically, someone has set them up because apparently negan knew all about what they were up to and moved the guns, the guy was a saviour we saw him taking part in the fight last episode and like most would probably have got back and gave negan more info so why would Daryl or any of them take that chance.
