[Rosiejuliemom]

Zeke is trying so hard. I love it.

[Irishmaple]

I'm with Carol. Pomegranate: so not worth it.

Ezekiel is thirsty AF.

So Carol moved next door?

Yes, but the nabes are friendly and the Neighborhood Watch is strong.

[Armchair Critic]

Love shack with Carol & E!

[chick binewski]

Oy. The Sadistic Endless Talker is back next week. I will be furiously searching for sales on vodka this week.

Of course Khary is totes adorbs on TTD.

[Reghan]

I can't wait until Carol finds out about the rest of the group.

I'm digging his Cowboy Bebop shirt.

Love all the brothers on this show can see right thru Carol 

She did say she liked chocolate 

[riverheightsnancy]

The actor that plays Ezekiel is very attractive.  Meow! 

[Boofish]

Show thread still locked. Please don't tell me the Saviors found the Mod Camp

[Armchair Critic]

Did the Mod think this week was the time change? ;)

[Red Fields]

Isn't what happened in the spring?

[Ohwell]

WHY are all the men on this show so concerned about Carol?  Whyyyy????  Does she smell like roast beef or something?  She acts like she's the ONLY one who's ever suffered much in the ZA.  Just let the bitch GO!!!

And who cuts Morgan's hair?  I used to like him but he's getting my fucking nerves now.  Ugh. 

[CletusMusashi]

You know, since The Kingdom is so solidly into maintaining pre-apocalypse civilization, it would have been fun to see them have a Halloween party. 

Tiger King could have been The Beastmaster.

[Boofish]

I wish I could quit Morgan but I just love him too much

[CletusMusashi]

Morgan's hair? Shit, most of us are still trying to figure out who cuts Carol's!

[candall]

Di di dum, waiting for the main thread to open, I read some of the pre-posts I missed.  A couple of people opted out because this episode was too much of a disconnect from last week.  Me, I think I could just write off Negan and Rick and all the rest and stick with Morgan and Carol and E in The Kingdom.

Carol's got the Free Bird jones, she must be traveling on, there's too many places she's got to see...

[AngelaHunter]

Is it only after 10 here? For once I get here early and thread is locked. Boo hoo.

[Macbeth]

If it is anything like GOT - Shiva is a very expensive CGI Diva - we won't see her again for another 7 epidsodes.

[LongDistanceClara]

This is my first, and may be one of the few times I can participate in the live chat.

I think Chris said it was a combo real and CGI deal.

[Macbeth]

The direwolves in GOT are a combo of real and CGI - and Ghost was absent most of last season.

Welcome, and you get to share the real live chat experience of living on borrowed time.  Try to abbreviate whichever words you can in case the thread locks and your post just sits there blowing you a raspberry.

The dragons are also a mix of real and CGI, I hear.

Cosigned.  As much as I hated last week, that's how much I loved this one.  I want to see more of Ezekial and the Kingdom folk.  I'm fine with never seeing Negan or Rick's snot bubble ever.

Thanks and duly noted.

I'm team whoever the fuck can kill Negan and Company...

I was hoping for that with the tiger, earlier this year (when I found out about her). 

I haven't watched. I recorded it. It sounds much better than last week. I'm also not up for more Negan.

Me, too.  And I'm amazed they didn't screw up this great episode by putting it first and making us all sit through it gnashing our teeth because we didn't know who Negan had batted.

Especially the snot bubble. I was starting to wonder if Rick had a distant cousin who was the lead character in Blue is the Warmest COlor.

Could be...seems as though we usually fall back on the last Sunday in October, just in time for Halloween. Not this year, though.

[ToniG]

That was changed a few years ago-now, it's the first Sunday in November.

The Hades/Persephone symbolism was a little much. Ezekiel was pretty great, though.

Loved the choir, even if they seemed a little improbably competent for a ragtag community of survivors.

I was ready to quit after they pulled that cliffhanger on us but this episode won me back. I almost didn't watch it.

[Straycat80]

This episode was better than last week. I hope we see more of the King, he's an interesting character. I hope Negen's people get sick, especially that long haired guy, from eating tainted zombie fed pork. 

Not  looking forward to next week. Looks like Negen's back and torturing Daryl. 

[chick binewski]

OF COURSE Tyler Perry owns a decommissioned military site from the 1800's.

Khary played along nicely with the stuffed kitty head. Unlike JDM's hammy grins last week.

I'm sorry. My Negan hate has infiltrated my JDM love.

I was pretty much out the door after last week's debacle.  I don't think I'm going to be able to watch Morgan starring in a regional production of 'Driving Miss Carol'.

When I think about what Gimple and the writers have done to a character like Morgan and an actor like Lennie James, it makes me want to chew tinfoil.  Both the character and the actor deserve much better than either have received and I have a feeling that this season might make season 6 look like the Golden Age.

When Morgan was pushing her around I thought the same thing LOL. I also kept saying Carol please roll your ass right on out The Kingdom, please

This looks like civilization! Carol and Morgan are about to ruin it, aren't they?

Hopefully Ezekiel will put out some CDB repellent

[Cheetosandchoc]

[candall]

Okay, I'm going rogue and talking about TTD.  THIS is like night and day from last week, too.  The Ezekiel actor is so jazzed, he's perched on the edge of the couch--he's delightful.  In Memoriam was sharp, the fun facts were interesting, Lennie James talking about how much the pigs enjoyed the peanut butter . . . all good.

This is the happiest I've been since Weiner and the emails.

So far Ezekial and company are delightful... waiting for the other shoe to drop

Me too. They are quite efficient with handling walkers and have a nice community so they or at least KE have got to be eeeevvvviiiillll, but I will enjoy them while I can.

[chick binewski]

Yeah, I love when TTD has people who give good guest, which is most of the time. The outdoor venues do the format no favors. And some of the actresses on the show tend to ...pontificate regarding their roles. (Plz don't feed me to Shiva!)

[GodsBeloved]

So glad Ezekiel wasn't fooled by Carol. Don't bullshit a bullshitter Carol.

[CletusMusashi]

So is the pomegranate thing supposed to be a "forbidden fruit" analogy? If so, does that mean that there is a big "overdone religious symbol" signal flashing into the sky right now so that FPP knows to show up?

[mmecorday]

I want to tell these people in the Kingdom: "If you see a scrawny guy with a shabby gray beard walking around on bow legs and wearing cowboy boots, run like Shiva is chasing you. Because once he's inside your walls, it's only a matter of days before things start going to hell. You may have schools, fresh produce and a livery stable full of fine equines, but trust me, you let this guy in, you'll be lucky to be left with a handful of rusty nails and potted meat."

[chick binewski]

...and I'm back on the TTD hate train. Pushing Lucille t-shirts? I don't care that JDM owns a candy store with Paul Rudd. Quit trying to make Negan a thing!
