I just looked up the rock in the road story. It's actually a real thing. I liked it better when I thought Rick was just making shit up on the spot. Oh well. At least finally someone in a fantasy or sci fi show finally told a fable that wasn't "the frog and the scorpion."
Still very thumbs up on the ep, but I am finding it very, very difficult to understand the level of autonomous privacy that Tigertown is permitted. It's not Negan's style.
Speaking of Negan's style, you've got to admit: having him call for a moment of silence is actually pretty damned funny.
I really do love that Zeke's border patrol have to do the faux-Renaissance lines when they approach people. I actually kind of wish they'd take it one step further. "What... is your name? What... is your favorite color?"
So 'fess up, people. Which one of you found the genie lamp?
Father Pee Pants disappears, Negan doesn't appear in a single scene, and Rick finally goes to Tigertown.
I just want to say that your wishes were very well chosen, and thank you.
I'm going to be the first in years to say anything positive about Daryl's hair. It looks natural again. Oh, it looks filthy, because it is, because it's meant to be. But at least now it doesn't look like he's going out of his way to color it black and comb it down over his eyeballs.
Eric used to be the fun one. Now he's like he's this weird angry fishwife. I mean, I understand his points and concerns, but his direction in that scene is less "gay man" and more "not man at all, and, in fact, quite possibly Lori."
Incidentally, I'm still gonna snark a little, because that's why I'm here. But, honestly? I'm enjoying this episode. Isn't it amazing how quickly the plot moves once you get Captain Talkypants out of the way?
