Shopkeeper

They were brothers - John and Thomas Hartnell both joined the expedition. John died on Beechey Island, Thomas died at some later point in the expedition.

Correct me if I'm wrong about this sequence because I was watching with one eye and very little interest - but I am right that when Negan came out to confront Simon and his thugs, he made some kind of hand gesture and suddenly all the thugs were very neatly shot to death in an instant? Like, they went down like a row of dominoes? If that's actually what happened, it makes it all the more laughable what horrible shots these people are when they're actually fighting THE OTHER SIDE.

Or, why wouldn't the kid just text his dad to begin with? They can't honestly have a rule that on Mom's week they can't even talk to their Dad, right? Because that would be nuts. It bugged me that the older kids were named Mae and Mason. Way too similar.

Other Pole. "Terror" is based on the Franklin expedition to find the Northwest Passage; or rather, based on Dan Simmon's novel about that expedition, which injects some decidedly non-historical speculation into what is already a very sad and creepy tale. And I have nothing useful to say about TWD.

I am crap at figuring things out in advance but I had Sasha's plan figured out in about two seconds. What I didn't get was what Negan was thinking in the first place. (I might be able to figure this out if I rewatched...but that's not going to happen.) What was the big plan with the coffin? Negan TOLD everyone that Sasha was in it. Was he expecting them to be so surprised and relieved that she was alive - even though she was in a coffin!!! -- that they'd drop their guns and surrender? That doesn't compute.

My thought when they were showing the circle of smiling faces at the end was that it was a callback to the circle of terrified faces kneeling in front of Negan from last season's finale. If I cared more I would go back and see if they showed the faces in the same order (well, minus Glenn and Abraham, and adding in Tara and Jesus).

If we're talking about the same judge - the curly-headed one with the drawl - she was a pageant mom in a previous episode - I think her daughter's name was Ava? She might have been the kid who was kicked out of daycare for biting. Presumably if she's moved on to judging then her daughter doesn't compete anymore.

It was Daryl's bike, which was stolen from him several episodes ago by those Random Wanderers in the woods. So those Wanderers are either Saviors themselves, or were overtaken by Saviors after they took off on Daryl's bike.

Except that Glenn didn't see Herschel beheaded and wasn't part of that skirmish; he was in the Sick Ward and didn't know what was happening until Maggie came to drag him out to the bus. And when he escaped from Woodbury wasn't he nearly incapacitated and, again, dragged away to safety without being part of the shooting? Now I think he would've been shooting to kill if he'd been able to in those situations, but as I recall, he wasn't able. Then again, I also thought he killed a guard with the shiv made out of the walker arm, but I don't remember that scene very clearly.

I have deduced it was Master Treasurer Fitzwilliam, played by James Larkin. Ok then. I do remember Cromwell shouting for someone - Rafe? - to fetch Fitzwilliam when they thought the king was dead. I think the show in general has done a good job in keeping all these Thomases and Henrys and Janes and lords and dukes straight, but this character seemed to come out of the blue, especially since he's evidently a confidante of Cromwell's.

A possibly stupid question, but who was Cromwell talking to in the scene directly after Henry's accident? It was him and another man, seated outside on some steps, and the conversation began with Cromwell saying, "It's not every man who can say that the King of England is his only friend" (paraphrase). The man was blondish and I swear he hasn't appeared in any other scene ever.

Lee had placed an ad in the paper for doing maintenance-type work, so I assumed he'd been given a job. Flashbacks to pounding hammers with murdered girls looking on admiringly were a bonus, I guess. It did bug me that Beth said the baby was named Elizabeth "for Mum" when Beth's name is also, ostensibly, Elizabeth, so Beth should have said, "for me and Mum." Unless "Mum" was exclusively called LIzzie (I don't remember from the previous season), in which case it almost makes sense, but in either case, be more original and pick a new name. Although I was afraid for a moment that they'd call her Danielle. What bothered me most about the affair accusaion in court, apart from its sheer lunacy, was how shouty and mean the prosecutor was about it. If I'd been a juror I'd have felt nothing but sympathy for Ellie for being so thoroughly lambasted. Lower your voice, Sharon, we're all right here together. And count me among those who do not care about her son's problems. Why must everyone have a troubling backstory?
