Spoiler:

...yeah that’s exactly what I was saying to my ‘Mr Gav’ as well last night.....we both felt we must have missed something ...there are lots of times when open wounds have been exposed and would have absorbed etc into the bloods...so why did Negan feel that contaminating Lucille would infiltrate...on the whole though...and yeah ignoring that huge confusion...I do think it’s getting back more to what was in earlier seasons and becoming generally more interesting again....

will be interesting to see where Jadis and Negan pop up and what their angle will be now Simon has taken over The Saviours

I finally caught up with the final ep of the first batch last night. ie Carl's death ...what a boring ep it took me 2 hours to watch as I kept looking at other things, he really was a terrible actor and did no justice to his death at all, good riddance, the only emotion I felt was die now.

Oh Nicky fgs

i would just for the sake of the group listen to the one holding the baseball bat

That episode was so bad lol.

• Henry is dumb and annoying
• Introducing a whole load of extras just so they can get killed off
• No one cares about said extras. If they wanted to make the walker attack scene gripping/scary then at least have someone we care about die
• Maggie is really irritating and one-note now
• That doctor was a DICK to Siddiq so slay @ her dying
• And CBA @ Morgan hallucinating

[Nicky91]

Doctor Dana, according to the walking dead wikia, she was the doctor for the kingdom

so now both hilltop and kingdom lost their doctors, i meant dr carson for the hilltop then

Spoiler:

..this has gone completely off for me...the last episode wasn’t bad and generally they seem to be more enjoyable ...but why didn’t Jadis kill Negan when she had him so helpless...regardless of whether she believed he had directly ordered her people killed or not...why doesn’t anyone kill Negan when there are so many chances to do so...even with his own people...it’s all silly, I feel...and his ‘association’ with Lucille and his wife being compared to Jadis’ memories with the photographs...oh yeah, I named her Lucille and then smashed people’s heads with her in memory of my wife...that’s quite similar to your photographs...just silly...

..I just know he’s going to be left out there and we’re all going to know he’s going to come back in future series...I mean why would you want to revisit and re-live the worst moments in life or in any series that you’ve enjoyed so much...until he was introduced...

They need to make next season the last imo

[Jordan.]

I'm gonna need the only two cute characters left on the show (Dwight and Jadis) to become besties and start their own community and leave everyone else to ROT.

*goes to see if this is a fanfiction*

The only way the show can continue!

[Nicky91]

Spoiler:

i think the person who stepped in the car with Negan is Jadis, and next episode is gonna be really good with Negan who will probably have a few words with Simon now, as for an end battle i can see Negan more like being a secret ally for Rick's group against Simon

[Ant.]

Spoiler:

I think Laura is the one who got in Negan's car. She's been MIA for what, 7 episodes now? And she'd either have to return in episode 15 or 16 (because what use is she returning after the timeskip? "Hey guys I've just been out and about for 2 years unable to find my group! Oh we lost? I bet it was Dwight's fault! He double crossed us! Oh we're friends with them now and you couldn't give 2 ****s because it was years ago? ok time for me to go into the background ")
Laura's purpose is to make us fear she'll find the Saviors and expose Dwight's betrayal, and with the war ending at the end of the season, it'd only make sense for her to appear now to tell them, thus creating tension and possibly giving Rick and co. a major disadvantage. I'm ADAMANT it's her

Spoiler:

could be, and Negan said you look like sh*t to that person who got in the car, i can see some people in rick's group dying in the end battle tbh, Morgan is a liability now for Rick, and Rick himself also is a huge mess, he first gave his word about keeping the escaped prisoners alive and yet he killed them in cold blood, i was like i hope they kill off Rick soon

regarding 8x15:

Spoiler:

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 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 more Rosita clocking Eugene 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

Josh McDermitt's acting is great as usual but my god I hate Eugene (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

Spoiler:

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

Spoiler:

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

Obviously the show is about zombies so you have to suspend belief but I cringed at how badly written that was.

It was ridiculous! And yes, we're watching a show were the dead re-animate and the whatnot, but we should only suspend our belief for things like 'why the grass hasn't grown' because well, the length of grass can't exactly be controlled, and I'd imagine it'd be HEFTY to CGI in all the long grass

But we're meant to believe Eugene somehow got that well hidden when he wasn't even that far ahead of Rosita? If they just had him hide behind a car I'd excuse it but Eugene got way too hidden in such a short space of time
And yeah I guess it doesn't matter in the long-run but come on, if we want to believe the dead are walking again we should at least believe things that should be possible in real life

Agree about Eugene and his hiding place although I still instantly knew he was under there anyway

It was a decent episode though all in all

He'll survive dw.


I know someone must die in the next ep though, but I genuinely have no idea who it will be
