We're all going to be walkers by the time this episode picks up any steam, I'm afraid.

Of FFS, kill of ANY snail's pace momentum with yet another GODDAMNED SASHA/ABE FLASHBACK. Good gawd almighty, show...Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

FINALLY CASKET TIME!!!!!! Let's get this show moving now...

And to save this whole fucking show...

This Brooklyn Brownie Copper bakeware is exponentially more interesting than this episode thus far.

Ah Rosita...A fail so epic it was *almost* a win. #DumbBitch

It's dragging for me, too. I used to wonder how people could live chat and keep up with the episode. Turns out it's easy to do when the episode sucks so far.

Rick, you dumb twat....You seriously gave GBK carte blanche to come to Alexandria and take up residence? Ye gads...Idiocy doesn't even begin to describe Rick Grimes.

Carol = Equal to or greater than 1000 red shirts... Quality over quantity and all...

Thank gawd, DAYLIGHT scenes (and Carol!)...

Nine minutes in and I'm sadly struggling to focus on this shit.... Dear gawd, hopefully they get to some action soon because these atmospheric dark scenes, flashbacks, and Dirty Daryl and Dreadful Dwight scenes are boring me to bloody tears...

Oh yeah, Eric's expiration date has arrived tonight, I'm pretty damned sure. And it's been fun, Sasha...wishing you much success on Star Trek. Also looking for Cindy to get her ticket punched tonight. And that twatwaffle Savior who shot Ben. And with any luck numerous GPK members will be wiped out tonight so we're no longer subjected to their..."eccentricities." And I'm almost positive Morgan will soon meet a grisly demise, but I *think* that will be early next season rather than tonight. I think TTD will have several in the lineup for "In Memorium" tonight.

The spoilers are at this link and carry on through the comments because of its length. It reads like a somewhat paraphrased script. Enjoy! https://www.facebook.com/groups/Walkingdeadspoilers/permalink/983155358485430/

I just saw an extremely detailed and lengthy spoiler about the season finale next week. It sounds AMAZING. If this is indeed what we're in for Sunday, I'm going to forgive the show for every single yawn-inducing moment of the entire season. Well, except for that godforsaken Tara-centric episode. That was just unforgivable.

Season 1, not sure of the episode number but it's the one with Rory's first dance. Sookie comes in carrying a white takeout bag of Mexican food, tacos and burritos, as Lorelai has injured her back. Sookie accidentally blasts her eyes with hairspray while trying to help Rory with her hair. Rory brings hairspray over to Lorelai on the couch. Lorelai tells her to protect the tacos. Rory puts bag of food under coffee table. Sookie asks a question from the kitchen. Lorelai tells Rory to go help Sookie. Doorbell rings, Emily has arrived and and wants to take pictures of Rory before the dance. Lorelai calls Rory out for pictures. Rory emerges in her formal dress, Doc Martens, napkin stuffed into her neckline, munching a taco. But...are they magical flying tacos? Because that bag of tacos and burritos was, just 2 minutes earlier, stuffed under the coffee table. There were *no* takeout tacos in the kitchen. Not sure why but this scene just drives me crazy whenever I watch this episode.

Oh holy hell, this is going to have me laughing like a demented hyena all night... I liked this episode. It's certainly not in my top 10 of the series by any stretch of the imagination, but I thought it was decent and pretty much held my attention (mostly for the snark-tastic "Another Brilliant Plan By Rick" fodder). Poor Judith...Honey, my eyes were glazing over at Tara's blathering just as yours were. I felt for ya, kiddo. So...where's Coral? Has he gone off in search of a decent eye patch? Is he off getting the magical hat resized? Is he off shooting up another 4-5 inches in height off camera? Is he off slipping Enid the hot beef injection? I don't know why I care where Coral has gone off to...clearly Rick doesn't. That being said, I can't wait to see Badass Fucking Carol back next week!!!

Me, too. I think I was so utterly pissed that TPTB inserted that Morgan episode right in the middle of the Glenn-Nicholas-And-The-Magical-Dumpster episodes that there was no way I could have enjoyed that episode, even with my mad love for Twisty the Clown. As a stand alone episode on a binge, though, it was actually pretty good. That being said, when I get this season on DVD, I feel quite safe in saying NOTHING, not even binge viewing, could make me enjoy that Tara-centric episode. I'll be skipping that episode every time.

Having an entire episode dedicated to the Morales' adventures after they parted company with CDB would be awesome. Much better than that godforsaken Tara-centric episode or the Morgan-and-the-Cheese-Man episode (although I will admit, once I had the entire season on DVD, the Morgan episode was rather good...when it wasn't disrupting the momentum of my first viewing of the original season). Here's hoping the Garbage Pail kids bring some entertainment tonight!

If 24 doesn't do well, perhaps he'll be discovered by Carol wandering in the woods near her cottage...with Daryl and Benjamin and Morgan and Ezekiel and any number of other displaced cast members. Maybe the whole Morales family will turn up in those woods!

Oh holy hell, this is going to have me giggling for hours because it's so incredibly, disgustingly true.

I kind of assumed the writers are leading up to a big surprise Daryl/Carol reunion in the woods. If Daryl knew where Carol was, he would no doubt immediately go to her but the writers want their big fucking AWWWWW moment, so they left Morgan looking the simpleton in that scene.

Just when I thought the show couldn't possibly get more boring than the "Cell" Daryl-centric episode, they topped themselves with this insipid tripe. What in the fresh hell were they thinking when they centered discovering (yet another) new community and chose to put what is arguably the most boring character (and arguably one of the show's weakest actors) to carry this episode? I found myself fantasizing that the women of Oceanside were going to give Tara the Holly death from the comics, and as quickly as possible. There are only 2 more episodes this season. They better be fucking MINDBLOWINGLY delicious, because so far at least 2 of the 6 episodes we've seen are more coma inducing than a triple dose of Ambien without any of the fun side effects. Ugh.

Preach it! These people are just what Carl predicted they would become when they first arrived. Weak. Daryl the Master Tracker letting Dwight get the jump on him 3 different times? Has his lost his hearing or hunter instincts somewhere along the way? Rick being so damned arrogant and cocky in the second half of season 6, thinking they had the world by its collective balls and it was theirs for the taking. No one doing any research into Negan and the Saviors before Maggie and Rick climbed on board, naively cocksure they could eliminate the saviors without even knowing how many there were? And, bless his gorgeous heart, Jesus did tell them he didn't know many but had seen them in groups of up to 20. Ugh, the list just goes on and on. They became complacent and cocky, and, as a result, weak. I'm hoping the stealing/hoarding/cowardly Spencer meets a grisly fate... Even if he was kinda/sorta right about things going to shit once Rick and Co arrived, things would eventually have gone to shit at Alexandria anyway. Denial wasn't just a river for those asshats, it was a full-blown ocean. Hell, Andrea told the Governor all about Judith's questionable paternity and the Governor, in turn, brought it up to Rick. Apparently, without Andrea, there's no CDB grapevine.

Dear gawd, that's just nasty. I understand actors wanting some degree of realism/authenticity to their role, but that just turned me off of Reedus for good. This installment was just a snoozefest. Ironically, even before seeing that picture linked above, I mentioned to Mini Persnickety that Daryl was so extremely filthy and greasy that I was finding it distasteful just to look at him on HD. HOWEVER, in one scene, TPTB must have used a foot double for Daryl, because the exposed top part of his foot was spotlessly clean. No way did that hoof belong to Reedus/Daryl. Hell, that's one time a part of his anatomy should have been filthy, wallowing around in that cell. I still maintain that the unfortunate-looking Dwight looks like the love child of Matthew McConaghey and Ryan Gosling. I'm really looking forward to this Sunday night. I enjoyed the Kingdom, but The Cell? No. No, thank you.

Nope, I'm on pins and needles with anticipation. In spite of the AMC and Gimple shenanigans, I'm beyond excited! 25 minutes to go!
