Wait - the GPK weren't even in the comics? Who is the genius creative artiste who thought of adding them? We need to know so we can sing his/her praises.

Is this a Game Of Thrones issue where TV has outpaced source material?

Shit, Rick's haggling session with Dumpster Diva was probably the most entertaining thing that happened. I woke up for that scene, because "Ten stuff. And me get cat!"

Where is she supposed to be from, anyway? Iceland? Narnia? And this time she clearly said, "We don't bother," and not "barter." Does she mean they don't bother anyone, or they can't BE bothered to... oh, who cares. I'm just picturing whoever came up with this stuff, and the other writers, etc. saying, "Woot! What a great idea! You're getting a raise, you genius, you!"

I've never seen that show, but for this show I look back at Joe and the Claimers and then look at the "Give cat" GPK. I could weep.

I don't think so.

Spoiler

The war with the Saviors has already happened in the comics.

Hey, now - let us not be so quick as to diss Icelandia.  One of the best TeeVee shows I'm watching is Icelandic, with subtitles, on Viceland.

Nothing against Iceland, but the Dumpster Diva (tks, CletusMusashi) must be from another country, another dimension or another planet, right? TPTB can't expect us to swallow that North Americans forgot how to speak in two years? Can they?

Zombies overran a school teaching English to various foreign embassy staff members and their families...The teacher is dead / undead and the students ran away and decided that all survivors needed to communicate in a single language. So the Diva created a simplified Yoda-lect.

[Gobi]

Or maybe "We don't bother" means "We don't bother speaking in complete sentences."

All of that makes more sense than what we've seen so far.

... "or in anything resembling intelligible language."

And here is the junkyard dialogue from this episode:

Jadis: Operational? All?
Rick: To the best of my knowledge, yeah.  May need some cleaning. We found supplies.
Tamiel: Expect us?
Rick: We cleaned some. We oiled some.  You can do the rest. We do this together.
Jadis: Yes, yes, but operational?
Rick: Well, you can fire a few. Try them out, if you like.
Brion: How many?
Michonne: Sixty-three.
Tara: We made an inventory.
Jadis: No.
Tara: (confused) You mean the inventory?
Jadis: Not enough.
Rosita: What? Wha – What are you talking about?
Rick: You asked for a lot of guns.  That’s what this is.
Jadis: Enough to fight your fight. Us? Nearly twice. Need nearly twice.
Rosita: (sharply) We’ve wasted enough time. Let’s go. Take our guns with us.
Jadis: No. Our guns to take. Our deal still on.
Rick: Not all of them. We’re keeping ten for ourselves – to find more.
Jadis: Five.
Rick: Ten.
Jadis: Six.
Rick: Ten.
Jadis: Nine. And the cat back.
Rick: Twenty. And I keep the cat. We get you the guns. We fight together. Say yes.
Jadis: (pauses) Yes. More soon, we’ll fight.
(Rick moves to the side and watches as the junkyard people come up to the van and select weapons. Jadis looks on silently.)
Michonne: (To Rick) You get a few more days before “what happens next.”
Rick: Few more days?
Michonne: That’s right. We’ll find more, figure it out. Soon. In a few more days.

The Cable Top 25 ratings are in for "Say Yes":

“The Walking Dead” hit a low it hasn’t seen in several years on March 5, but it was still easily the top-rated show on cable (and broadcast, for that matter) for the week.

The AMC show’s 4.7 rating among adults 18-49 was three full points better than Fox News’ coverage of President Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress. [10.163 million viewers]
