[Iguessnot]

Well that was a dull ending.

[Indigo Luna]

"Mom...MOM..." Are you friggin kidding me?!

[Boofish]

Not going to lie the grabbing of hands gave me a case of the feels

Also DIE MORGAN

[Spartan Girl]

I wait all fucking season for the stupid Alexandrians to die and all we get is Deanna? Argh!

Also Morgan is dead to me. The one bright spot is that everyone is going to turn on him after this.

[Samsnee]

Morgan may not be insane, but that doesn't mean he's not crazy.

[mandolin]

I thought there was supposed to be a scene post credits?

[Iguessnot]

So Denise just stood around while Wile Coyote cut himself free. 

[lulee]

Be sure to pack blindfolds and gags for when you have to tiptoe through the walkers with a nervous tween.

[riverheightsnancy]

The way Morgan slammed Carol to the ground could have killed her. Is her life not "precious"? 

[Morrigan2575]

I really didn't like this episode at all. I swear they filled this episode with useless melodrama and had the characters acted stupid just to drag the story out to the non ending cliffhanger.

Very annoyed with this episode and the show right now

I never understood when LEOs or any other folks give up their guns in a hostage situation when they're five feet away. Ten, twenty sure, but five? And these people are trained to aim for the head.

[SharonH58]

UGH  that's how it ends?  And stupid Sam talking?   I was waiting for Glenn to yell Rick!

[tennisgurl]

Oh my GOD kid, are you serious? 

[Gentian root]

Deanna, please bite Sam.

[Boofish]

Sam has to die because by the time the show comes back he will he the same height as Kobe Bryant. That Law and Order Special Victims Unit show me where the bad man touched you drawing is not going to mask the fact he is 10 feet tall

[editorgrrl]

OK, I guess I'll sit through the first 15 minutes of Into the Badlands. Well played, AMC.

[ParadoxLost]

I thought there was supposed to be a scene post credits?

During Into the Badlands.

[bosawks]

Each episode I feel like I'm watching a really long preview for when the season really gets started. Let's hope they kick it out of neutral when it returns.

And it looks like it's all ovah for Tovah.

Rosita could have gotten a shot off.

[Straycat80]

MOM! Someone elbow that kid in the head. I hope the wolf gets eaten and Carol is OK.

Good episode. I can't wait for the show to be back next year.

[cambridgeguy]

Hold on, they don't have to smear their faces with zombie blood and guts?  That seems like a new thing.

[natyxg]

Well, fuck you Morgan, Ron and whatever the other kid is. Too much stupidity today.

 

RIP Deanna.

 

Not a whole lot happened, eh? Too cliffhanger-y for my taste.

 

Also, the airplane thing during the commercials turned out to be so lame. Is it 5 minutes spread over 16 freaking parts or something? Plus, it's not overly interesting. What's the point exactly?

[tomsmom]

So to see the prologue we have to suffer through Into the Badlands for 15 mins???

Quit trying to make this show into something AMC. It ain't happening.

PS: Eff off Tiny Tim.

[mightysparrow]

Instead of helping their friends, and themselves, Carol and Morgan decide to play 'whose is bigger'?  Fuckery.

[mustbekarma]

"Mom...MOM..." Are you friggin kidding me?!

They forgot to duct tape Sam's mouth shut. Letting Sam hide upstairs because he was scared did not help. If they had let the kid face his fears earlier, he wouldn't have been so terrified later on.

 

Deanna was a badass. Choosing to shoot the Walkers instead of killing herself, that was a gutsy move. Too bad she had been bitten, Deanna could have been a formidable leader.

 

Thanks a whole lot, Morgan. Letting the Unfair Wolf live now gets the nice doctor killed. Of course, Carol could have chosen to fight that battle another day. However, the Unfair Wolf was going to get loose.

[candall]

Well damn it all to hell, I wasn't finished with my instructions to Denise when the thread locked.

 

Let your body go limp.  Never let yourself get taken to the second place.

 

Does Oprah, like zombies, not exist in this world?!

I would say it takes a special talent to kill the golden goose. But I know better. It just takes greed and incompetence. Producers of TWD you are killing the golden goose one boring and anti-climatic episode at a time.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Welp, that was an overall disappointment.

Bye DeAnna, see ya on Talking Dead.

I have wait until February 14th for the CHOP CHOP to happen.

Side eyeing Gimple, for that stupid fight, Wolf escaping and one death.

[SimoneS]

I love Rick in survival mode. He is relentless and determined. I cannot imagine Sam surviving this. Goes to show how amazing it is that Carl has lived this long.

 

Yay, Glenn go save Maggie. Enid better help him out. I expect Daryl, Abraham, and Sacha cannot be very far away.

 

I don't know who was stupider, Morgan, Carol, Rosita or Tara. How could Rosita and Tara drop their guns? When did they get so stupid? Carol could grabbed Denise and gotten out there without all that drama.

 

Oh, I liked Gabriel stepping up finally. I want him to survive and flourish.

 

I hope that Deanna saved a bullet for herself, getting eaten alive is no fun.

[tennisgurl]

Honestly, who the hell even are half these people? For the most part, I just cannot with the Alexandrians. They all just kind of blur together, so when they sit around and chit chat with psychos or whatever, I just cant get that involved. 

 

Jessie has kind of grown on me, I will say. I don't really mind her at least.

 

Deanna at least went out hard. 

 

That was just pretty anticlimactic. There was some good stuff, but mostly it just seemed like a place holder until the next episode.

I'm trying to decide what's worse: the wolf morality play or this baron and his stupid hair.

[ParadoxLost]

This whole season stank so much of the showrunners liking the idea of a zombie horde premiere so much that they decided to do it twice.

 

Its kind of remarkable that they managed to drag their feet so much.  They did waste at least half the episodes in the season so far.

[SharonH58]

Well the good part was very little Enid.  Spencer is probably in the pantry eating.

[calliope1975]

Sam has to die because by the time the show comes back he will he the same height as Kobe Bryant. That Law and Order Special Victims Unit show me where the bad man touched you drawing is not going to mask the fact he is 10 feet tall

 

Yeah, they aren't selling me on him being under, like, 13 years old. Makes all the "monster" talk a bit ridiculous unless he has some, until now, unmentioned cognitive disabilities. 

 

I'm so mad at Morgan. If anything other than sunshine and roses happens to Denise, it's on him. Of course, she should have gotten the eff out of dodge as soon as Carol showed up. 

 

ETA: Okay, I'm watching the epilogue or whatever the hell this is to make us watch Into The Badlands, and I am so OVER this bullshit of we own you and all your things. I'm sure that's how the real ZA would be, but it's getting old to watch.

What kills me is that it's not BABY FREAKING JUDITH WHO IS PRETTY MUCH THE BEST BABY EVER who won't make a damn PEEP under the GutPoncho but that it's whiny ass Sam who CAN NOT TURN THAT RECORD OFF OR SHUT UP EVER.

Stupid cliffhangers.

[SharonH58]

Run over them!!!!  RPG!

[bmoore4026]

Deanna - goin' out like a fucking boss!  You rock, lady!

 

Rick and his people wearing those sheets smeared with Walker guts looked like some macabre baptism.  But, of course, "Mom....mom" is going to fuck everything up for everybody.

 

And, thanks to Morgan, Carol maybe dead and the Wolf just made off with the closest person Alexandria had to a doctor.  Morgan sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo needs to die.

 

Besides the commercial for that movie with Leonardo DiCaprio and that big frozen booger hanging out of his nose (I'm retching while writing that), I thought this was a solid episode.

I haven't been this annoyed at a child since "Get in the fucking house, Carl" from season 2.  Jesus, kid?!  Where do you think you are right now?

[ParadoxLost]

Shoot the bazooka.  I'll forgive you if you shoot the bazooka.

[Gentian root]

Eff off Tiny Tim.

All those parents in the house and not one says "Turn that shit off!"?

[SimoneS]

I can't believe that they are getting out of the truck. Has everyone lost their fucking minds on this show?

[editorgrrl]

They forgot to duct tape Sam's mouth shut. Letting Sam hide upstairs because he was scared did not help. If they had let the kid face his fears earlier, he wouldn't have been so terrified later on.

IKR? I was yelling, "Stop feeding him, and he'll come downstairs!"

New episodes in February? Unfair!

[ParadoxLost]

I can't believe that they are getting out of the truck. Has everyone lost their fucking minds on this show?

 

They fucking did it.  They got me to roll my eyes at Negan's name.  They are going to ruin this show.

[SharonH58]

I hate this new bad group already.  If anyone is watching the sneak peak

[Samsnee]

Can we be honest? Jessie was hoping to sneak out of the house without Sam and conveniently "forget him" when asked later. Except that little shit showed up and ruined it.

[Iguessnot]

Each episode I feel like I'm watching a really long preview for when the season really gets started. Let's hope they kick it out of neutral when it returns.

And it looks like it's all ovah for Tovah.

She is not bright. If you need to end yourself, why are you wasting bullets on walkers. There was no need for her to open that door.

[Peanut]

meh.  Negan. Another deranged asshole.  I may pass on the second half.  

 

Okay, I won't.  But I'm starting to hate watch this show like I did with Fear, and that's not good. The first three episodes this season were so good.  Even the Morgan/Tabitha/Cheesedude episode was good, just misplaced.  

 

But now everything sucks.

[Ohwell]

The way Morgan slammed Carol to the ground could have killed her. Is her life not "precious"?

 

Well, he did say he wasn't going to let her kill him, so I don't blame him.  As far as he's concerned, his life is precious, too.

 

Overall, I thought this half season was pretty boring.  

 

I suppose Morgan and Carol will wake up and have hate sex so I can say goodbye to this show forever.
