Magna was blinking, I think she's just shuffling Whisperer-style in order to get home.

Agreed. I know I am well past the point of being emotionally manipulated by this show, and I am EASILY emotionally manipulated by crappy movies and tv. It doesn't help that the Whisperers' whole shtick is based off of doing something that was proven time and again that people just can't do. Shuffling along and chatting quietly shouldn't be enough to prevent detection by Walkers. This has been my main point of irritation with this group.

I really don't get the Whisperer's motivation in all of this. Their whole thing is that the Walkers are some sort of natural evolution or something, and that the living aren't really "living". So why the hell are they going through so much trouble to prevent themselves from dying. Like last week with Beta's bullet proof vest. And they 'kill' a LOT of their own pet Walkers so I don't get it. And why do they care so much what other people are doing??

Guessing that electric fence was supposed to be more effective...

Maybe Magna and Connie got out and for some reason went to Alexandria instead of Hilltop, and were able to get there in time to bring reinforcements? I'm just wondering what nonsense could happen to allow this tiny group of morons to defeat a hoard of thousands.

Get ready to not see anything!

So all the Whisperers have is numbers in the horde, right? I know they have guns but I doubt they'd start firing in the midst of all the Walkers. How have the Hilltop & Alexandrians not devised some effective and quiet way to bring down a hoarde yet? They've known about hoardes for a LONG time.

So ten years later and they're still being thwarted by things like a tree in the road. Negan had to make zero adjustments to his conquering strategy after all that time.

All Out War ver. 2.0

Whisperers have a side business selling maple syrup at Farmer's Markets.

It's nice to see that Alpha has enough self-awareness to know that sex with her would be "crass", although she's playing really fast and loose with the word "reward". Also, Ew. EW. Shouldn't the very human smell of a giant Shit Pit attract walkers? Hopefully, if or when Connie is rescued this will allow some character growth for Daryl in perhaps allowing himself to be close to her. Like, man+woman close.

How was Lydia able to recognize that whisperer without him recognizing her??? I missed something...

It looked like Negan killed the walkers with a piece of wood / branch that just happened to be the same size of Lucille. He didn't have any weapons after his little knife broke, apparently.

Watching the walkers converge on unarmed Negan, I want to say "It's happening!" but then I remember what I'm watching, and I know he's going to Governor his way out of it.

What exactly is Carol's plan to destroy the herd, if/when she finds it?

When did Daryl get that huge scar on his eye?

Literally the first time Negan has ever made me laugh, telling that kid to drag his ass!

So wtf was real? I don't need the show to make me feel like I'm on drugs wile I'm watching it.

About 2 minutes in and already wondering wtf the point of this is.

I was trying not to care enough to watch live tonight but but here I am.

Sweet Sassy mo-lassey! LOL!!

I don't think Michonne is hearing voices just yet, didn't she say she's tired of not hearing him answer?

How did they not know these Saviors are still in the area after six years??

I can't believe with all of the major losses the 'good guys' have had: Glenn, Abraham, Sasha, Alexandria, the Kingdom (and basically everyone in it), Shiva, Carl, to name a few, that Negan still has his damn bat. And that dumb jacket. With everything else that is irritating me, somehow this stands out. This show won't even allow that fucker the relatively small inconvenience of being without his accessories. He's not even particularly inconvenienced by or after things that should have inconvenienced him greatly. He has bounced back from everything (still has the Sanctuary, Eugene, bullet-making supplies, his life, Shiva or Jadis didn't maim or kill him, full use of all his limbs, followers, and the resources to go after people). Did the bat even look a little bit charred after being lit on fire for 20 minutes?? Honestly, I just can't believe we've been stuck on this story line for two and half years. The show has only been on for 8. I'm still finding some enjoyment with the other character stuff, even though they still can't help but to ruin everything somehow. I did like that we got to hear Carl's letter to Rick. I really didn't think they would do that and for the most part I thought it was well done. I liked that he talked about life 'before', father and son stuff that Rick would clearly remember, and basically just said 'I love you'. And they ruined that with him ridiculously asking Rick to try for peace with Negan. I liked Rosita and Daryl getting Eugene back and being awesomely no nonsense with him. Then they ruined it by Eugene getting away by inexplicably outsmarting Daryl at one of the only things Daryl is even good at and has consistently been good at. Particularly in a way that even someone who wasn't a tracker would have been able to figure out. I get what they were trying to do by having Michonne deliver Carl's letter to Negan but it didn't work for me. We already know and have been shown that Michonne wants to honor Carl's memory and final wishes. But I wish they would have found a way for her to actually deliver the hard copy to him or leave it where he'd find it so he could read it himself. Then maybe show him crumple it up or something. It would have gotten the same point across without making it look like Michonne actually thought what Carl had to say would somehow change anything or affect Negan. So while I do get it, it still came off as silly (as all of the 'give peace a chance' does) because there is and was never going to be reasoning with a guy who believes his way is the only way, and who treats his own people the way Negan does. This should be very evident to all of the characters on both sides by now, so I don't even know why or how this is a plot point. Not to mention Rick already did this a few episodes ago and it didn't work then either, so, it was also redundant storytelling.

Wait, Gregory made it back to Hilltop and it didn't take six episodes for him to get there??
