So, finally, after all this time we see people actually CAN survive the zombie infection. OR I completely misunderstood and there in the end, Alicia actually died. The way it was filmed, I have no idea. Either way...this show has gotten as silly as that really stupid "World Beyond". I'm probably out once the mothership ends. Madison coming back is far too little far, far too late.

Row, row, row the boat, gently out to sea Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily The baby had to flee Is this the season final? Or next episode? Will a hurricane blow the raft out of the gulf, around Florida and up the east coast to Virginia?

Not only what Smad said but MMB was not being paid equal to NR even though they would've been co-stars. She's paid her dues, no need for all the hassle. AMC statement: “Melissa McBride has given life to one of the most interesting, real, human and popular characters in ‘The Walking Dead’ Universe. Unfortunately, she is no longer able to participate in the previously announced spin-off focused on the Daryl Dixon and Carol Peletier characters, which will be set and filmed in Europe this summer and premiere next year. Relocating to Europe became logistically untenable for Melissa at this time. We know fans will be disappointed by this news, but ‘The Walking Dead’ Universe continues to grow and expand in interesting ways and we very much hope to see Carol again in the near future.”

Whether "Stephanie" was a plant or not, anybody would dump Eugene after he slept in bed with those filthy, disgusting socks on.

Yes, it was the band Motorhead and it was their song that played during the montage where Rosita discovered all the resistance material.

Y'all reckon eventually Reaper girlfriend who got away and Negan team up?

I doubt any main characters will be gay or lesbian which really sucks. Know what else sucks? I don't see this show being able to pull off any sort of trans representation either. Maybe someday.

While this statement is mainly true, The CW has 1 show at least that is really at the level of quality we should all hope for with the new Bab5 and that show is Superman & Lois. While supposedly set in the same universe as Beebo, The Flash & Batwoman, Superman & Lois LOOKS like it's made for a different service all together, it LOOKS like it's for HBO or Netflix. I'm hoping the new Babylon5 LOOKS that good & we get enough good actors to make it all worthwhile. It's exciting to consider, isn't it?

I actually cried when Martin Stein made his entrance. I love this show more than any show I have ever loved (except Xena Warrior Princess. I have a Xena tattoo so what would you expect?) One thing though, they really really really need to give us BEEBO DOLLS (or action figures, whatever floats ya boat).

So I'm no expert on cars or anything but back in the 80's, my first girlfriend drove a Ford Pinto (obviously before all the explosions and the recall). While I was watching last night's episode I thought to myself, isn't that a Ford Pinto? How the hell did Morgan even find one of those? Oh, nice, he put the baby in the very back, right above the gastank. Oh, even nicer, Morgan apparently rigged something up so that he could carry extra tanks of fuel...right on the back. Man, that baby has the thickest plot armor EVER!!!

So, no comments at all? Has this show lost its way? Maybe they just went too far out with the whole Dada thing? I never would have thought this show even could go "too far out" but maybe so.

I have never laughed so hard at an episode of this show as I did this episode. The entire sequence from Hoover being on the roof of the car, the shot, then Ava's reaction with her just turning away, throwing her arms out and collapsing and THEN reaching so deep and finding her True Crime Soul omg Im laughing right now. That entire bit was just the BEST. Oh lordy, for the rest of my life that is going to be the thing that I watch to chase away the blues, I feel so good after that episode. Wow, thank you Guggenhiem Circus and especially thank you Bullet Blondes. Praise Beebo.

I know we'll never get any explanation BUT why was Larry zombified? I mean, Cliff postulated he, Rita, Jane and Cyborg were all affected by the spider death lady poison, Larry was not present for that. Anyway, I didn't love this episode (never thought I would say this but....I might be over zombies too).

More and more it's looking like poor Gilligan Virgil was nothing but a plot device, intended to #1 separate Michonne from her children and the entire show (because she is actually very busy in Wakanda ...forever) and #2 bring Connie back into the show...Eternally. Long live Gilligan Plot Device Virgil

I thought this was a really good episode, I was particularly moved by the conversation Judith and Rosita had (my mom passed away in June so that convo really hit me hard). The only problem I had was about the Commonwealth. Not so much the Commonwealth per se but.....how the hell do they have SO MANY COWS they can just make LOADS of all different types and flavors or ice cream? How the HELL to they have so much sugar they can make all that ice cream PLUS all those baked goods? PLUS where the eff are they even getting CHOCOLATE from? PLUS they really want to waste wheat, butter and eggs on...cakes, donuts, ice cream cones? Lord help me but I can put up with a lot of nonsense on the fricken zombie show but all the confectionery was just too much.

I guess by this point TPTB realize how many people have decided the just hate Carol so they really went for it with the horse killing. I think it was the first episode of the season when it was explained Alexandria, dealing with the influx of refugees from both Hilltop (burned down and trampled) and Oceanside (also trampled) plus all of Alexandria's crops were trampled SO the population only had at best one week of food left. Carol made the hard choice, as she always does. She was heartbroken over it but she at least wasn't going to just let everyone, especially children, starve. We're a long, long time in the ZA. All the Big Spot supercenters have long ago been picked clean, as have all the grocery stores and even all the homes. Food is really hard to come by although it does seem to me they should be fishing all the streams and rivers and lakes and ponds. And even making fish weirs. And trapping birds. Well anyway I do think in episode 1 of this season it would have made so much more sense to kill all the sleepy soldier zombies in that base and clear it out, there were probably enough MRE to last a few weeks but the show wouldn't let them do that. Instead, we have Maggie's stubborn death march and Carol's really sad butchering of a horse named Dinner. I don't care, I'm ride or die for Carol.

Rob Bricken over at io9 is by far my favorite reviewer of this show and I gotta say, I totally agree with him. https://gizmodo.com/well-that-was-a-thoroughly-unpleasant-episode-of-the-w-1847570691

We live in such a pervasive rape culture that MANY people only see "rape" when a (as close to virginal as possible, preferably a white, cis-gender female) victim has been beaten almost to death by a horrible stranger who sexually assaults the woman. In other words, a whole lot of people saw Negan's "wives" and accepted them AS WIVES, not as sex slaves being regularly RAPED.

Episode 1, Season 1

It always amazes me how few men understand that they are responsible for causing their (female) lovers getting pregnant. And I guess Im further amazed how few realize how incredibly expensive that is. Now add on twinsies and hoo boy, even if he had won the half mil, that money would NOT go anywhere near as far as he seemed to think it would. ESPECIALLY with his overall lack of maturity! Y'all know he would have been buying new guitars and a stupid car and a bunch of weed (probably) and giving all his buddies stuff and before you know it, POOF, it's all gone PLUS hundreds of thousands of dollars of medical debt for those twins. Biko was fun but sheesh...

I'm fine with hunters, I have a lot of respect for them. Consider Roland from last season. Obviously he was a top predator hunter. He really relished it. BUT he never one came across (to me) as gratuitous. Clay, on the other hand, came across not so much as a hunter as a murderer of something so animals will have to do. I knew he would win because he has been all over youtube from the beginning of the season. Colter was extremely off putting but I would have preferred him over Clay. To me, Clay seems to be sublimating homicidal tendencies into killing animals. On balance, the world is probably safer this way. I watched the rebroadcast of the previous episode and it was every enlightening. They broadcast several "talking head" segments with a member of the local First Nations people of that lake. He described in detail why all the hunting restrictions were in place. I really wish the show had shown a spotlight on this from the beginning because I went from hating this "stupid" season to really appreciating it. If you can, I strongly urge everyone to check out the expanded episode, it was very interesting. A poster above called Theresa "stupid" for wading out in the water in her underwear. Well, she wasn't the only one to do so BUT she out lasted all the men we saw also get in the water. She is a tough woman and I believe had the show been anywhere with looser hunting restrictions, she would have won easily. The poster above who mentioned Biko's BMI, you are spot on. People seem to have this idea that they can make themselves morbidly obese and then come and win this show and that's just idiotic. The stress on the human body getting to that weight is terrible, the stress of losing that amount of weight so quickly and unhealthily is TERRIBLE, the mindset behind it is terrible. People think because 1 person did that and (on try #2) "won", THAT's the winning strategy? Did Roland come in as an obese man? No. Did Alan? Did Fowler (slightly but obviously not intentional)? Shit, did JORDAN? No, none of the winners have done that EXCEPT Sam on his SECOND go. It's a bad, dangerous strategy. Anyway, not the best season ever.

This "Ultimate Moments" episode will have scenes from all past seasons so to me, it seems like its own beast.

Colter really screwed himself over when he washed his face. He obviously had 20 pounds of muck on there, if he had still been fully encased in filth, he would have made weight.

Despite all the worms, that was one boring episode.
