S07.E11: Hostiles and Calamities – Pre-Air Speculation and Live Chat

I have reached the point where watching this show is a chore. I think, "I have a dentist appointment on Thursday," or "I have to clean out the litter box." Add to that, "I have to watch the Walking Dead tonight." Yeah, I know - I could just skip it, but I have this OCD, mental thing going on, where I have to find out what happens after investing all this time in this thing. I just feel that if I don't watch, something will actually happen and I'll miss it. As if. I need therapy.

Most of an episode of Negan's monologuing vs Eugene's deadpan monotone delivery.  God, makes a person want to cry - and not happy tears - when thinking of what awaits.

Hostiles and Calamities... is this a TWD episode or the title of an ACME cartoon episode?  There better be a Savior with a nickname of 'Wily Coyote' to make it ironically perfect.

I'm in the same boat, when Negan is around - which, unfortunately, is a lot now.  But when there's an episode he's not in, I could watch that thing all day long.

Yeah, I thought Negan was bad until we saw the people who have forgotten how to speak within a few years. And on that topic, when was the last time we saw Rick grinning like an an idiot while being surrounded and threatened by hostile strangers?

So... a lot of Negan talking to Eugene, then? Start drinking now.

Still better than Carl singing "You Are My Sunshine" IMO. I'm still cringing over that.

ETA: I've already done my daily drinking. I forgot it was Sunday and that I probably should have saved it for later.

I kept reading the episode title as "Hostiles and Calamites".  That could have been fun...an invasion by gigantic previously-extinct sentient vegetation.  It would fit with what was originally supposed to be dystopian science fiction.  But, alas, what could have been has become a show that has nothing to do with zombies, or hostile power-mad military scientists whose genetically-engineered virus destroys the planet.  Screw the zombie apocalypse, let's have Negan monologue us to death instead.

I'd rather get eaten alive... die quicker and less painful.

God I hate Dollar Store Daryl, hope Bat Boy tortures him.

Me too! I used to like Daryl when he had a personality and was snarky and crabby. "Lassie Come Home" Daryl, nuzzling into everyone's shoulders (and I'm surprised no one has protested due to his filth) makes me sick.

OG Daryl annoys me to no end these days.

 

But DSD is actually Dwight.

 

LOL!

Oh! Haha! I can stand neither of them, but actually I think the other Giant Ham, Simon, may annoy me even more. Imagine my surprise to see that fanfic "writers" (and I use that term lightly) are feverishly penning semi-illiterate porn about both Dwight and Simon. Yeah, I know - but it's my secret pleasure.

I felt the same way, that is until we met the Garbage Pail Kids. I bless the day that DVR was invented.

Yeah, I know. I'm an addict for horribly written"Mary Sues" but with those two I just couldn't.

Dammit, now I'm wondering who Simon is, and sadly realizing I'm not all that upset I don't remember just who he is.

Tonight: Rick's gang meets a group of survivors that dresses like circus clowns, in order to scare away the living and the dead (a la It).

What? Too over-the-top? I left out the panther on a leash.

I'm already getting punchy with Negan irritation/red wine.

Simon is the grinning fool who is usually sent to deal with Gregory at the Hilltop.

Ahh (thanks @Raven1707).  Seriously, people are shipping that huge turd of a douche with Daryl?  God.  I need to go shopping for some more brain bleach, like a LOT more.

My husband had to work last week and so is now catching that episode on repeat.  They're just about up to Rick's fight with the garbage walker.  There's a whole lot of "WTF is this?" going on here.

Funny.  A week later, and I still got a lot of "WTF was that?" going on all up in this thing.

You know what, the hell with it...  I'm going to have to suffer through this at some point anyways, if ever there was a time to try watching it live and participating in live discussion, this sounds like an episode to do it.  IE, an ep that will most likely be Negan-heavy, IE = so more talky than action.
