Shiva died? The pet tiger thing always seemed a bit stupid to me. Great episode though and I'm enjoying the lack of Negan in this season.

Spoiler:

It was way too gimmicky & it didn't really fit into TWD at all, it was like Ezekiel and Shiva hopped over from another TV show. I'm still struggling to warm to Ezekiel as well.

Spoiler:

I do like Ezekiel, I think his character is refreshing and fun, I like the idea that he took on a role to get him and his people through such an horrific time but it will be good to start seeing him as the real person too now he's left the Kingdom and lost Shiva

Spoiler:

Yeah this is true. I've just struggled to find much interest in him though, his character, his look and Shiva didn't really feel like it suited the show. I may be stuck back in the past a bit but i preferred it when characters were ordinary people, Ezekiel feels a bit like a superhero from a futuristic movie who has got lost. I do agree with you though, i'm a lot more interested to see his character develop without Shiva and more as a normal person

Spoiler:

The real characters only work for a few seasons I suppose otherwise it just gets too repetitive

[Babayaro.]

Spoiler:

Anyone else find that saviour who captured Ezekiel to be very creepy?

I thought he would be in the episode for much longer tbh

[Niamh.]

Spoiler:

He had a kind of peeping tom/pedo look about him His death was amazing though, although I did wonder how Jerry managed to cut him clean in half but his axe thing couldn't break the gates chain

Spoiler:

A couple of good whacks with a hammer would have broken that padlock, it's a total plothole that the massive axe didn't break it . That's what they need - a boatload of those padlocks. Make a wall out of them = invincible wall! Or just make a wall out of Rick and Daryl who are, evidently, also invincible. Even Carol knows it. She heard Daryl's motorbike and was like " It's ok those guns aren't getting far"...

"But Carol, what if someone killed Daryl and took the motorbike?"

"Nope, can't happen."

"But... they have like an armored truck that has one of those guns that just killed dozens of people like a hot knife through butter mounted on the back... what if they just gun Daryl down?"

"Nah."



I'm also glad that Shiva died TBH, if only because the CGI for that damn tiger was probably using up like 70% of their effects budget...

Can't argue with that logic, build a Rick and Daryl wall

[Nicky91]

Spoiler:

i loved that death scene as well that savior chopped in half by jerry, but RIP Shiva, saddest moment for me in TWD so far

[Natalie.]

Best episode of the season so far for me, great to see more of Carol
Loving how little we have of Negan at the moment

It will be interesting to see Ezekiel

Spoiler:

without Shiva now

Jerry

How are you struggling with a pet tiger but ok with a zombie virus?

Because apart from the Zombie virus the characters are supposed to be living in the "real world" and the pet tiger seemed silly to me, as did those trash people who forgot words after a year or so of the virus

I don't mind the tiger itself, per se, big cats can be tamed so it's not impossible. I was also OK with;

A) A tiger that is tamed and doesn't attack humans

B) A tiger that does attack humans, but not Ezekiel or other humans that are familiar to it.

C) A tiger that had been trained to only attack on command.


All of those were fine with me really. A bit out there but within the realms of believable.

Buuut... It jumped the shark once the war started, and somehow the tiger knew to attack only Negan followers, and somehow knew which people were Negan followers, despite loads of the "friendlies" in the area being from Hilltop and Alexandria, who the tiger would also never have seen.

It knew not to attack them? H... How?? It just got silly at that point, basically giving the tiger human-like reasoning and decision making skills. It's a tiger! If it attacks strangers, it attacks ALL strangers.

[Locke.]

I thought that was the best episode of the show in over a year, since the premiere last season when we found out who Negan killed and he took Rick for that ride and tossed him out into the walkers. No surprise at all that it was an Ezekiel centric that livened the show up again. Tbh I think Ezekiel and Negan are head and shoulders above any other character right now, the rest of the cast just aren't exciting anymore. I love Rick but it's mostly just same old at this point with his group.

Spoiler:

I loved how Shiva saved Ezekiel at his weakest moment after he saved her at her weakest moment. I know we'll probably get a depressed Ezekiel for a few weeks now but hopefully he doesn't drop the King stuff, it's pretty funny and the show does lack comedic moments these days with the lack of Negan and Eugene.

Speaking of, hopefully next weeks does feature Negan a lot. Or at least some of the other saviours we actually know. There just isn't really any tension at all when we're seeing the main characters face off with a bunch of glorified extras introduced in the same episode.

And why the bloody hell didn't Rick and Daryl drive back 30 seconds down the road to check what the situation was with Ezekiel and his men? They just got the guns and pissed off.

[Ant.]

I actually want to vomit at how clearly they foreshadowed Ezekiel's death it feels like 6b when they weren't even subtle with hints Glenn would die
