They have a different version. it's only two words long. "Street easy."

Wow. I just looked to see when the episode replays and... apparently every single other show on AMC has been cancelled, because this ep is going to just play over and over again all night long. And all afternoon they're just showing the rest of this season. Eggs in one basket much?

I have to work tomorrow night. So y'all give my love to Michonne, who apparently might finally be allowed to do something. (Obviously Rick isn't!). And Rosita. Who at least fucking tried to shoot Negan. And... yes, even to Dumpster Diva. Because, of all the ridiculously stupid new characters we have to deal with that make no sense whatsoever, she is by far the funniest. Probably completely unintentionally, but, hey, fuck it, I'll take whatever I can get. And she sure as hell ain't gonna monologue.

Well, at least they didn't make her another speedster.

I'm going to say it. And I know I'm going to jinx us by saying it, but I'm saying it anyway. This season has been consistantly enjoyable. But of course all that can change, especially now that Wally's back. A few minor thoughts about the ep: Where the hell is Barry's Flash suit? Did all this take place on laundry day? Why is Iris becoming the undisputed commander of Team Flash? I mean, I'm all for giving her more to do, but... "well, everyone else is actually really good at something, so you can be our boss..." is a thing? Devoe looks like an older, crankier version of Todd Jacobson from "Community." and, finally, Thank god he just admitted that he knew who Barry was. Oh, tactically it was still a bad move. I mean, there's no way he can plan for every possibility. Even if he could predict almost everything in this universe. how can he predict what guest heroes are going to show up from elsewhere? But, still, he had to do it. Just for our own peace of mind. Otherwise we'd go insane wondering how he could deduce the identity of Jack the Ripper but not The Flash.

In and of itself, I still don't think Archie's plan was worth shit. The Ghoulies are not going to step down after you obviously cheated, but they might get extremely riled up for revenge. However, Archie's trick combined with what the girls accomplished independently of him, could be an interesting combo. Not only is the sugarman removed, but since it happened right after Ghouleader got arrested, it probably looks like he was the one who tried to cut a deal and narc'd. And that, assuming that gangs on the show actually choose next week to act like gangs in real life, is where the Ghoulies should be experiencing some interesting internal turmoil.

I watch the show fairly sporadically, and in fact only clicked on it this week by accident when I went to the CW site to catch up on Flash. But I figured I'd keep it on until I got bored, and wound up pretty much enjoying the whole thing. Still not sure how the WW3 plan makes any sense, though. You're gonn akill the president, in Vietnam, and then the whole world is going to get buked, except Vietnam? Monjey Dude, you're gonna be sitting at Ground Zero. Telepathy does not stop missiles. And also, if the world is blasted so hard that humanity is wiped out, or even just univerally knocked back to the stone age, won't those condidtions be even worse for gorillas? A gorilla's digestive system is designed mostly for leaves. Scavenging canned beefaroni after the apoclypse would be even worse for Grodd than for any human survivors.

As zombies decompose, they turn into oil. The virus was created by Dick Cheney.

I don't know how much of it was just low expectations, but I did like this slightly better the second time than the first. One thing I get a kick out of is that FPP actually seems to slightly enjoy the fact that Negan thinks he's creepy. Usually he's the straightlaced one, here he gets to be the one making action hero jokes about zombie guts. I don't care how much he talks about loving people; a big part of his motivation there was squicking out Negan.

We're going to be on the same day we started the season with until Judith has her bat mitzvah.

Fell asleep during TTD, so of course I woke up way too early today. Figured instead of struggling for two hours to get another twenty minutes of sleep I'd just make some coffee and rewatch the episode. Here are my thoughys on the early part of it: I like that FPP was concerned about fruitlessness. After all, nothing fills out those shitting pants quite like fruit. Is Simon really stupid enough to believe Gregory? Is anyone stupid enough to believe Gregory? He's got to be doing a "good cop" schtick, just to screw with his head. Also, is there anybody, anywhere. who looks more like a guy named "Simon" than Simon does? Negan look slike a Todd or a Scott, but Simon is like the Simonyest Simon that ever simed. I actually liked Dwight ar the meeting. "Dude, I've heard weasels squirm before. Can I just grab a smoke while nothing interesting is happening?" JDM really had no idea what to do with Lucille for most of that meeting. He starts out rubbing his bare hand on the spiny zombie-bashing part... yeah, that's a great idea. Then when he wants to hand gesture, he has to do an awkwatd lap-balancing act, while being careful not to rip his pants, because 28W34L jeans are kind of hard to come by in the ZA. Finally, by the time he has an excuse to start hitting the table, he's like "Yes, finally I can just hold this thing normally. You know, you guys are rude. Coral would have given Lucille her own chair. And lemonade." They sort of explained the rationale about why Negan agreed to the pow wow, except for the "Dude, you do know they can just shoot you, right?" factor. The scene would have played better if we saw them put some Kevlar under their jackets. And, when we first saw When Negan met PP, he walked up behind him and made the same joke three times. This time, when he first met him, he immediately tackled and searchd him. It can't be both. So... is Negan still actually just rambling on about the shitting pants? Is FPP so bored with it that he's concocted this entire episode as a dream sequence? Maybe he imagined the last few weeks, too, and eventually Shiva will still come charging in and eat Negan. More randomness to follow. I'm going back to my rewatch.

The jacket will spray off just fine. You can dissolve an entire zombie just by squirting it with a hose, remember? I have to say that this was, sadly, probably the least boring episode of the season. Which ain't saying much. Because it was still dull enough that I'm actually watching the Red Machete shorts. Which are just weird. I mean, for most of the show Rick didn't even have a machete. His main personal weapon is the Colt Python. (FYI, that's totally gonna be my porn star name some day.) Why can't they show us the history of Michonne's katana, or Ezekiel's sword cane, or, hell, even Negan's girl jacket?

Please tell me he left a dummy in his bed with a bowling ball head. That will excuse the entire rest of this season!

Somebody had better give those people some drinking water before he starts talking again. Or they'll all dehydrate.

Hi, Vamp Stamp. Have you boned Eugene yet?

Yes, of dragging this plan out forever...

Fuck you, Rick. You could have shot Negan 500 times in the season premier.

Wow, he actually shut up for multiple bat swings!

Bigger. Faster. Stronger. He's gonna have Eugene rebuild him into Father Frankenpants.

I am vetoeing this ship before anyone can even suggest it!

It's their thing. Kind of like how you can't join the Jets and Sharks unless you'e good at dance choreography. Or the GPK without taking marching band.

I love when these characters brag about how they long take to kill someone. Yeah, but, dude, you haven't invented some brilliant new torture. You just talk for three days and then pull a trigger.

Wow. Even with a bullet through the diaphragm, these people still want to talk.

Is Rick trying to do a Negan lean?

This season has been so crappy that I'm actually kind of enjoying Negan.
