    S08.E10: Keeping Her Alive

    Or come to think of it, just how the fuck did they manage not to shoot Troy at the gas station? I mean there were at least 50 armed guys with guns trained on him, many of them in cover with all his guys out in the open, and if the shooting started, you'd make sure you shot him first wouldn't you?

    They covered that by saying "they didn't care if they lived or died!" which means they would live for some reason.

    OK, my bad there. looks like my powers of prediction didn't work this time which is embarrassing because this show is nothing if not predictable. In my defence it's clear that the theme here is building a better future for one's children, and there needs to be some sort of continuation for Maddison, which is kind of difficult when both her kids are dead so a lost grandchild seemed like the obvious get out clause. looks like they're going with the Bootleg Alicias tribute band instead though.

    Don't feel bad, none of us had Alicia's Angels on our scorecards. With Troy's daughter, that's 4 new characters added with a week left to the show.

    he's led them to place where, apparently there's an entirely different climate so they'll get caught up in the frozen ground and stay there until he needs them.

    Yes, it's cold enough year round in Georgia (or Texas) even though no one else seems cold. We know it's cold because there is some white powder on the ground only in this small section of river bed. Which is cold enough to freeze walkers in the mud, even though it doesn't appear that cold maybe 3 miles away. In Georgia. <cough>

    Season 1 - Episodes 1 through 11 Discussion

    The show is kind of losing its luster for me. This was my least favorite episode so far. I could see from 100 miles that the cousin and the rehab center guy were trouble. How often is Gabi going to yell "we can't give up on them!"?

    The cat-and-mouse game in the basement is getting tiresome. Something needs to happen. 

    At least there were finally consequences for the dubious police work.

    Does anyone give a damn whether Dove lives or dies? She's barely a character. Talk about low stakes. I didn't get what she meant either when she told June she left Padre to get away from June. Huh? You're with June.

    Not me. She was in one episode previously that I recall, and I couldn't care less about this petulant teen. Bad writing, her persona was very uneven.

    I almost didn't watch this because I'm not a big Dwight fan, but I thought it was a decent episode, watchibility-wise. The throwback to Negan stuff was cool. That said, with 3 episodes left, it was fairly unnecessary.  The whole point was to bring Dwight back for the inevitable war with Troy, which will likely result in Troy dying and maybe Madison too. The big reveal about Troy's daughter won't be that interesting. Anyway, we're almost done here. 

    Unrelated: I'm a structural engineer, and this show is always - "unlikely" - particularly when it comes to roofs.

    And have they ever explained why she needs the oxygen tank? If they did I must have missed it.

    She was injured in the fire at the stadium. I knew as soon as she came back that the oxygen thing would be a plot point, to be used when they needed it.

    Speaking of which, I guess that whole "nuclear winter" thing is over now huh?

    Yep. It all blew away, which is something that apparently happens. <cough>

    We saw Alicia die, right?

    IIRC, we never actually saw her die, which in this world means she could technically still be alive. Or something. <cough>

    This is becoming dreadful. Madison really can't act.

    Seriously. She growled at one point. Almost laughable.

    Troy apparently has a child and blames Madison for the death of the mother. Anybody recall anything? 

    Not at all, but after the Otto arc I stopped watching. I vaguely recall the whole thing. 

    I go on and on, but this show is just awful, especially compared to the vastly superior Daryl Dixon show. Only 4 episodes left, I can't imagine where they're going with this. 

    Are we never seeing Daniel and Luciana again? Do we care?
