I'm in the midst of terrible weather, so I finished last season and started this one and Izzy, and her prosthetic leg, thought that going back 10000 years in time and having to hike 1200 miles (well, that was the original plan) was a good idea? I mean, if you want to find your family, let your dad go and not be a hindrance to him. But I'm not a writer for this series, so I can think clearly. Sometimes.

I enjoyed it! I thought the characters did fewer stupid things overall than characters in other zombie/outbreak movies (the mother of the young boy being the exception--they should've left her behind), and I'm interested to see what is up with the soldiers.

@Superclam I know they're trying to get to her father in New York; I just thought they were going to Omaha first.

Um. So I thought they were trying to get to Omaha. Did they get to Omaha and I missed it? I misread the sign and thought they were trying to cross the Missouri (which still doesn't make sense if they're trying to get to Omaha; they'd cross the Platte, which most of the time you can just wade across). I also hate "empties." Walkers makes the most sense. Meh.

I could do without many of the flashbacks as well. I don't mind a couple of them, but some of them just go on and on and on... I really liked the first two episodes, and hope they get back to some of that. I teach high school students, so the teen angst doesn't bother me too much, but there comes a time (when out amongst zombies, for instance) when that shit just needs to go. I, too, am confused by Silas' flashbacks. I'm guessing there is another colony in Omaha (where I live, so I'm curious what it will be depicted like should they ever get there), or he is supposed to be older than a teenager. But then they were trying to get him to enroll in school. I dunno.

Okay so the plague has not yet been unleashed on the world, Scully just foresaw it. All righty. That's like lame writing 101, and I don't let my students get away with that shit. (side note: if the Walking Dead would like to make everything dealing with Negan a hallucination/dream/flash forward and go back to before he arrived to pollute my teevee, that is acceptable) I don't think the CSM is actually the dad; I'm gonna guess it was some alien and a turkey baster or something was used. At least I hope so because otherwise? Ew.

I teach this in my Dystopian Lit class and we watched this episode today, and my students really liked it. I think they are interpreting the book well, and also making it easy to follow for those who haven't read the book. I thought the Particution was well done, and the costumes are amazing. My only quibble is that the Commander is attractive and Nick isn't. That's not how I picture it when I read the book. And that's all I will say to avoid going into book talk.

Looks like my decision to cancel cable until Z Nation comes back on was the right one. 7B doesn't even sound slightly interesting.

Well, she did scream at the end. I'm glad 10K is alive. I couldn't handle losing him AND Glenn in one year. And speaking of the Walking Dead, hey writers, THAT is how you do a cliff hanger. Does anyone know when this will return? I'm getting rid of cable since the Walking Dead sucks, but I'll get it back when this comes back on. I'm guessing in the fall?

I'm not watching again until Negan is gone from the show. I've even decided to go ahead and ditch cable all together after Z Nation ends next week. So thanks, Walking Dead writers, for saving me $88 a month.

Warren looked especially beautiful in this episode. No wonder Murphy was in love with her. That is what the one girl said, right? I need to pay closer attention. What was up with the girl on the chain? Was the chain embedded in her flesh? It sort of looked like the coat was nailed to her.

I liked the dumpster reference a great deal. I might've liked this episode better if the real election had turned out differently. Le sigh. Still, in four years, I would like Addie to moderate one of the debates.

I don't think Elisha is resurrected. I think she just took the dead doctor's name and is carrying on whatever her weird experiment is. I like that the mayor found the will, and he also provides some humor. Overall, I really liked it, even though there were some "idiot plot" moments. If the characters hadn't acted like idiots, the bad thing wouldn't have happened. For example, leaving Vic after surgery with John and not sharing critical information. And yes, I think Sarah will come back evil and that will eliminate the love triangle. Which is convenient. I liked it complicated.

I finally got to watch this episode and I really liked it. It was silly and stupid, but it was true to the show. Plus, 10K! I do wonder if the nurse was really a nurse, though, and not just another patient playing at being a nurse. And I hope we see the bus again. Maybe with the zombie cheese wheel.

I'm not watching anymore, but I'm curious if they'll go with the "bag over the head of the zombi-fied character" in TWD since it was already used on FTWD.

I did not sign up to watch people become sick and depraved. I signed up to see how people dealt with the zombie apocalypse. And apparently, according to this show, it's that everyone becomes a raging asshole. The reason I am done (except to watch the Carol and Morgan episode) is that I have no desire to see where they go from here. Because after they defeat Negan, what's next? How do you do worse than what just happened to Glenn and Abe? I have zero desire to see that.

okay, the last five minutes here just saved the show. This is why I watch. For the human element. Not to see someone get their skull bashed in. Still not watching next week, though.

Uh, is anyone going to take Maggie to the doctor?

Not that I have any plans to watch beyond tonight's episode (unless there is a Carol and Morgan-centric episode), but I hope it's Carl who kills Negan.

What the fuck is the point of all this?

I don't hate Daryl. I hate the writers and their stupid plot contrivances.

This was so unnecessary. I get that you had to have someone die, and it does suck that it was Abe, but he went out bravely. Glenn's death was there for shock value only. Or are we just following the comics now?

Welp. The spoilers were right. I'm pretty sure I'm done with this show.

I like that Abe got in that one last insult. This show still sucks, though.

MINE. MINE. ,MINE. I feel like I'm watching the seagulls in Finding Nemo.
