thought it was great except when Glen shows up and saves, maggie, instead of jumping on to the platform and having dirty reunion sex with her, he jumps in the truck with daryl and takes off lol

I think they crossed the cheese line for me last night.

Last night was good on the start (bikers part) then nothing until the end. It was literally a zombie mob and people in the middle. Shooting, screaming and beeing eaten.
- then Carl's eye pops out.ESKEMA
- Rick speaking, piano queue, finger moves.ESKEMA
- yea but its a Zombie showRamanisky2
- i liked how at the climax of the end fight, the rapid straight-on shots conveyed the singularity of their purpose, as if they were all the same personlocustsloth
- God bless the high speed skull hackings.CyBrainX
- how do you get shot in the eye and live? it either blows a hole out the back of your skull or it ricochets around and scrambles your brainscarabin
- nah, it's totally possible to get your eye shot out and live, but unlikely he'd survive the blood loss.dopepope
- The eye was shot out with a grazing blow across it. You could tell by the wound. The show made a better attempt than the ridiculousETM
- wound in the comics that would have killed him for sure.ETM

how was the show last night?
- kinda boring compared to last week. we met jesus, though. and some sexy shenanigans happened.Gnash
- Thought jesus was interesting. the shenanigans were a bit awkward and unexpected._niko
- not a fan of the hook-up.Gnash
- he'd be a good guy to have on your team.... if you could be sure he IS on your teamscarabin
- The shenanigans was more like get on with it already!!pango

oh man. five years later, i'm up to date.
hi, thread!
- Lol awesome, can we interest you in a little series called game of thrones next?_niko
- Nobody watches this anymore, it's too popular.i_monk
- i did finally watch game of thrones... though i was high through 100% of it and absorbed maybe 60% of itscarabin
- welcome :)Gnash
- @Scarab. I was high through 0% of it and absorbed 40%. It's complicated man!HAYZ1LLLA

- I was expecting Hilltop to be much bigger
- all this time and they only have spears? everyone else seems to have found weapons.
- still not sure about jesus.
- bit too much hubris around going after negan - will not end well
- not digging the rick-chonne combo- Hilltop was bigger in the comics, but more in open space/fields than buildings:
http://vignette1.wik…ETM - agree, Abe and sasha have way more chemistry and would be a more believable match_niko
- they also probably don't need weapons since negan is "protecting" them_niko
- Sasha is alright but how do you leave Rosita?CyBrainX

Watching Michone and Rick make out made me cringe, I guess I always saw them as friends, brother and sister, not sure I believe it yet. Carl seemed to liked it though.

Boring episode tonight, right Ben? :)
Too much time spent making cookies.
- Gnash3
what a stupid plan.
- Agreed. I have no idea why they felt so confident about this latest plan. All they do is fuck up big efforts like this.MondoMorphic
- E.g., "hey, instead of burning all the zombies while they're trapped in a freaking quarry, let's let them out..."MondoMorphic

felt extremely uneasy watching last night's episode. They turned a corner recently, lost all of the little humanity they were holding on to.
I get the saviors were a bunch of dicks but not sure I buy that they would straight up murder them in their sleep in cold blood like that.
They are no better than the saviors themselves...worse actually.
I don't really feel bad for what's coming.
- yup. rick's speech was almost identical to the gov'nr before they attached the prison.Gnash
- qoob0
It made no sense at all that they would go murder dozens of people like that just to get some food. There are no other options to find food?
Also why would the Hilltop people agree to a deal that is just as bad as the one with the Saviors in order to get rid of them?
- yeah, bugs me too_niko
- maybe hilltop figured they would wipe each other out?_niko
- saviours deal was an on-going one. Rick's deal was a one-offGnash
- The Saviors were a clear danger to them. They attacked and threatened Daryl, Sasha and Ginger on the road. Then they hear they basically run a mafia protectionETM
- racket on Hilltop. So to Rick, it's perfectly rational to wipe out any threat first, and profit from the act as well. Win/Win in his mind.ETM
- It's a little questionable but I think it was worth it.CyBrainX
- _niko-1
saviors: since you know how to grow food, we'll take half your stuff or else we'll murder the shit out of you.
Hilltop: or, we can just teach you our methods and you can grow your own food
saviors: nope, we'd much rather murder you
Rick's group: since the saviors are taking half your shit in exchange for not murdering you, we'll murder them and take half your shit in exchange for not murdering you.
Hilltop: or, just a crazy thought here, we can just teach you our methods and you can grow your own food
Rick's group: nope, we'd much rather go on a murdering spree
- rick's deal was a one-off. they are already planting crops, they just needed to get over this hump.Gnash
- ok, makes mores sense, must have missed that part_niko
- Yeah, one-off. Then they will establish a trade relationship. It wasn't super clear if you were't paying attention when Maggie was negotiating.ETM
- Rick's motivation was to destroy a threat for once BEFORE it hit home. The food arrangement was the icing, Hilltop the excuse. He would have done it anyway.ETM

I'm waiting to have 4-5 episodes and we watch them in high speed jumping the talking and just watching the action and important scenes. Watching 5 episodes takes like 10 min and we dont miss anything important.

i like the fact it makes no sense because when this show tried to make sense it was hardly worth watching
now that it's just pure lunacy it's absolutely fucking riveting

I am surprised by the Savior sympathizers.
If you know nothing else about them, you know they stop people on the road and rob them blind without discrimination. They admitted to usually just killing someone randomly at the beginning of a robbery to demonstrate they mean business. They run a mafia protection racket on Hilltop, and likely other groups, rather than work for their survival. They choose to kill without cause.
Rick’s plan was cold, but strategic (in his mind). These guys are a threat, and he wasn’t going to let them knock on their door, like the Wolves just did and kill more people. It’s pretty clear the Saviours wouldn’t be a group to reason with, so you get the upper hand instead. You also get a one-off deal for food with another apparently peaceful group that will establish a trade relationship. Given the shitty existence they have, I’d think it was pretty clear too.
Rick kills when he needs to, but he doesn’t kill without reason. He doesn’t rob people and kill them. He doesn’t run extortion rings in order to survive on nothing but violence.- it's not sympathy for the saviours. for me it was an ill thought out plan.
no recon at all. this does not compute.Gnash - They used the info provided by people who have been there before and even knew some of the interior layout.ETM
- one guy. and he didn't know much. they assumed everything.Gnash
- Recon what? There's one way in and only two guards at night. You can't get in to scope the layout, so what recon did you have in mind?ETM
- recon the area. see if there's another camp near by the other guy missed. confirm the guys recollection - he didn't seem the most experienced of strategists.Gnash
- What is there was a turret up top -- "uh, you never asked if there was a turret, rick"Gnash
- it's not sympathy for the saviours. for me it was an ill thought out plan.

The question is whether it makes sense to risk attacking their compound. The Saviors were threatening the Hilltop people but they haven't bothered Rick's community for months or years.
Raiding their compound is a big unknown...people on your side could easily die. Just for a few crops and seeds?
At one point it seemed like Rick was all about taking no chances and playing it safe, so this seemed out of character.
Also the idea that Maggie would take part in the raid even though she was pregnant, and that Glenn would go along with it, didn't make much sense.
- Not for crops and seeds. That was the perk. It was to remove a threat before it came home to roost, just like the wolves did. A wound still fresh.ETM
- I'm willing to bet most of those who miss the more nuanced details also watch the show with a phone or tablet in their hand.
:)ETM - Wow seriously?? OK whatever mang :Pqoob

Was anyone surprised how few people Carol has killed? I'd love to see Rick's total.
- what about when she blew up shit at terminus -- that must have killed more than she knew.Gnash
- and glen hadn't killed anybody? what about all the shoot-outs they've been involved inGnash
- Yeah Glenn most certainly had to have killed someone during all those gun battles ... Last night was a lot more personal though.Ramanisky2
- I was even more shocked about that.CyBrainX

Glenn: You are bearing my first and only child, there's no way I will let you participate in a dangerous and badly planned raid on an enemy compound
Maggie: But I have to Glenn. I HAVE to.
Glenn: Uh....OK.
- Yeah, I wasn't sold on that either
Fucking Glenn ....Ramanisky2 - no one fucks glen! except mrs glen!pango
