S07.E03: The Cell - Pre-Air Speculation and Live Chat

[halgia]

A completely new group of survivors living in an impressive community that seems to have it all, but for a price, is introduced.

This thread will lock after the episode airs; after that, bring it to the episode thread proper.

[CletusMusashi]

Wait, another new group? Right next to all the other ones?

[AngelaHunter]

Another new group, yeah? They've managed to set up a previously unknown and elaborate system, which I hope isn't ruled by a king or even a duke. I never see any previews or spoilers but I thought this episode was centering around Daryl's torment and captivity and being forced to wear sweats. If it isn't, a lot of fanfic writers are going to off themselves.

[iRarelyWatchTV36]

I got it, I got it!  Let me guess........  this group will be called the Vatican and be led by the Pope!  Those poor walkers.  And I'm betting they call the dead "demons", and when they put them down, its referred to as "exorcising the demons".

Its either that or 'The Cell' is a literal interpretation, and the setting for this episode will take place entirely in - and around - U.S. Cellular Field in the southside of Chicago.

I'm starting to wonder which group - dead or the living - actually outnumbers the other, after the last couple of seasons.  This is getting a touch ridiculous, at this point.  No wonder two big-timers had to go... got to make room [both on-screen and for Show's budgetary reasons] for all the new extras.

How I hope you're right. I might actually find that entertaining. I was so disappointe that the self-appointed "King" Zeke didn't have a crown made of tinfoil and cardboard.

[morgankobi]

There have to be Burger King crowns around somewhere.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Its Ugly Cry Night with Daryl, right?

[MostlyContent]

I'm worried that I'll dislike this 'impressive community' as much as I liked the one last week.  

[Reghan]

It's that time again!! I'm ready!

[chick binewski]

...and they start off ruining Tony Danza AND The Jam for me?

[riverheightsnancy]

Oh no he didn't!  Dwight wearing Daryl's vest. Oh HELL no!

[Reghan]

mustard, gross....of all the things to gather in the apocalypse he chose mustard?

[Armchair Critic]

So Dwight just takes everybody's stuff, hope he chokes on his damn sandwich.

[chick binewski]

Enjoy your Terrorism Sandwich, Dwight.

[NorthstarATL]

I wonder whether Dwight will cut the mustard.

[Reghan]

This is NOT how I wanted to see Daryl naked...

[Haleth]

Dogfood sandwich needs mustard.

[Armchair Critic]

Ewww.... this reminds me of Jesse on Breaking Bad but at least he got some Ben & Jerry's

[MrsRafaelBarba]

A Town Called Malice, nice!

Sorry show, I don't give AF about Dwight or his man angst.

[chick binewski]

Oh, you brilliant bastards. Give us Naked Daryl to try and make up for a season of Negan? 

[Glaze Crazy]

Dwight wants to be Daryl? Got the vest, got the crossbow, had the bike.

[nodorothyparker]

If the end of the world means hanging with trashy biker wannabes and Who's the Boss reruns on videotape, I'm rooting for the zombies.

Naked Daryl still looks greasy.

[NorthstarATL]

Sorry, Hill, our children aren't stupid.

Growing out his bangs for the hairstyle. . .

[Reghan]

Welcome to Daryl's hell

[Glaze Crazy]

And Daryl thought Rick's music choices were bad.

[lmsweb]

I don't post in the live show thread very often, but WTF AMC? NAKED DARYL NEEDS A SHOWER. Or I can volunteer to give him a sponge bath. Whatever works.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Notice the Savior that gave the back of Megan's head a death glare?

 

Yup, I'm going to hate this episode.

[Lamima]

what is #39?

[MostlyContent]

This is already old.  MOVE ON, show.  

[Enigma X]

Where is Judith?

[riverheightsnancy]

Poor Daryl. We know that he was abused by his father. I am feeling for him right now.

Their bunk #? 

I'm not into torture porn

[bosawks]

Are they paying buy the word this episode?

Why so parsimonious?

[candall]

Generally, if you hide the fact that you're serving dog food, it's because you fear retaliation.  Why not just hand him the can?

And Carl?

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Honey is probably one of Negan's wives.

[chick binewski]

Yes, a child will save Dwight's relationship!

[Rosiejuliemom]

Go to hell, Negan.

[Red Fields]

I don't think everyone likes Negan.

[MostlyContent]

He wrote 39 right after a guy got a beatdown (or beat to death), didn't he?  Maybe they're counting the guys they kill? 

[chick binewski]

What is this? Hostage Scrabble?

[nodorothyparker]

I might have been interested in an episode deconstructing Daryl two seasons ago before he became a mopey greasy monosyllablic whatever.  Now I'm just bored.

[lmsweb]

No the 39 was the guys bunk. As soon as he knew the guy was getting beaten to death he went and raided that guys foot locker for mustard.

[NorthstarATL]

This is already tedious. I miss the Kingdom.

[Rosiejuliemom]

I don't know if Dwight's scarring is CGI or make up. Either way, it looks good.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

I really want Dwight to die.

 

Not feeling sorry for Daryl right now, NOPE!

Seriously. This is almost Grady levels of boring.
