S07.E16: The First Day of the Rest of Your Life

[TigerLynx]

If the Claimers and Terminus had been around for more than a few episodes, I wonder how badly the writers would have screwed them up to?

I don't ship couples.  Rick and Michonne are okay.  I wouldn't have thought of them as a couple.  I thought Glenn and Maggie were okay to.  I liked that Glenn and Maggie were trying to move forward with their lives.  I don't think Maggie getting pregnant was such a great idea, but I did like Glenn's response to Abraham that if they weren't thinking about the future than what was the point of everything they were doing?  Unfortunately, I now know the answer to Glenn's question.  The point is for the writers to see which character they can give the most gruesome or idiotic death to.

When Rick and everyone trekked all the way to Oceanside, why didn't they try to make friends with them, and hide out with the Oceansiders?  Instead they stole all their guns, and gave them to the junkyard idiots who turned on them.

Do the people left at Hilltop and the Kingdom know to be prepared for Negan coming after them?  Negan and some of his henchmen know who Jesus and Zeke are don't they?

Shiva was still the best part of the episode.

Oops.  Sasha didn't save the day, the fake tiger did.  

Im pissed off that Michonne got beat down by what looked like a 15 year old Russian figure skater.  I ain't buying it, not even with stolen bucks.

isnt Tobin dead?  And eaten? 

Tobin was shown shooting at Negan's truck, along with Father G, Francine, Aaron, Eric and Scott.

Also spotted him getting what looked like first aid, from Birdie.

 

That nice BW from Hilltop.

During montage with Maggie's voiceover, when Aaron gave an apple to Jerry from the Kingdom.

In my opinion in order to make her a suitable partner for Rick Grimes, Michonne has been dialed down to less than half of the person she was before.  ....Carl and Michonne have barely interacted since she's started fucking his old man, and they used to have one of the best relationships on the show.

I think the most fucked up thing is the number of war councils that have taken place without Michonne.  Is she at home making dinner?  Michonne is a better fighter than Rick Grimes.  But we all know that Rick prefers his women to be more ornamental, so she's probably at home dusting the cat statue.

I was a fan of Richonne - until it actually happened and saw what it did to Michonne's character.  Michonne has been sacrificed on the altar of Rick's stupidity.  As he is being written as an incredibly dimwitted character - she ends up stupid as a byproduct.

Me too. Michael Rooker is always tiptop - with acting abilities far beyond most of the rest of the cast and hate him or love him, his Merle will never be forgotten. At the risk of repeating myself (sorry, bad memory) I would have paid to watch an ep dedicated to what happened to him from the time he decided to cut his hand off until the Governor picked him up. That would have been so much better than watching Beth get hit in the face and eat Guinea pigs or listening to the cheesemaker spouting parables. Unlike Tara, MR could carry an episode by himself.

What I thought about the Claimers was that their lives probably marginally improved after the ZA, which is part of made them interesting to me.

Ugghhhh, anything but the cheesemaker.  OMG, what a waste of my life.

I tried to do a multiquote on my phone but I lost it, but I wanted to respond to those that think the showrunners are doing a disservice when they say they are trying to stick closer to the comics. Often times, things in the comics don't translate well to the tv (at least in the way the show does it), but the SHOW, not the comics, gave us Grady, the GPKs, and Tara (for me, three very big fails). 

I rewatch old seasons/episodes a lot, especially from seasons 1-3. The feeling from those seasons was drastically different from what I get now, but the end of this episode gave me a bit of that ol' Walking Dead feeling I used to get. No matter how improbable it was that all the groups showed up at just the right time, the fact that they were all fighting together, as a family, is one of the things I love about the show. The journey they've been on, however ridiculous and full of mistakes and stupid villains, the people I care about still are there for each other. I even overlooked Maggie's accent in her final voiceover for the Glenn callbacks. I really enjoyed that. Anytime a show remembers its history, I'm appreciative. Shockingly, I also enjoyed Negan's one-liners this episode.

Now, someone please get Tara off my screen, forever and ever, amen.

To this first part, I think I actually laughed out loud when he said, "The widow's alive, guns a-blazin'!" Only thing that could have made it better would be, "The widow LADY... " like in an old Western.

Second part - maybe if we all say it out loud, Tara will go away or at least stay in the background where she's best utilized.

Where I used to live we once a sudden, unexpected ice storm, with very little warning.  The local news was interviewing people and one man said, and I quote, "I was just fiberglassed!" Yep, preserved forever for anyone to see.

I didn't laugh when Negan kept talking while the fighting was going on.  All I could do was wonder what on EARTH could possibly make him SHUT UP!  Yes, it's funny in retrospect, but while it was happening, no.

I've always liked Tara, but she did get on my nerves a bit in the last half of the season.  I don't really know why.

See this is where Negan could actually have been and could still become the best character on this show.  TWD is so utterly humorless and pretentious.  The absurdity of this whole world they're all trying to survive in is never acknowledged or appreciated.  I'm not saying turn TWD into Zombieland, but having a villain who enjoys his villainy and gets the irony of it all, and good guys who are like, yeah this world is effed up but so what, let's make it cool, that would be so refreshing.  Let's have more nutty vengeful characters, morally ambiguous characters (besides the cowardly Eugene), who switch alliances between the good guys and the bad guys at the drop of a hat, lone wolfs,  bad characters you love.  I want a show with Mad Men characters, Breaking Bad/BCS characters.  They just need some writers who can do this.

[smorbie]

a little humor is always welcome, but the statement just didn't really strike me as funny.

They have added some levity.  Eugene can be hilarious and Tara is often funny.  Gregory is too much fun to watch.

But the show is supposed to be pretty bleak, I think.

And agreed - at present, Negan has the best comedy potential of anybody on the show, save perhaps Eugene.  And that's kind of a depressing thought....

Pretty much. "Hyuk hyuck - he/she talks funny. Gee, isn't that hilarious? Everyone laugh." I like things like when Rick and Aaron were paddling across Lake Zombie and the board Rick was using as a paddle said "Asshole" on it. THAT I found funny.

Maybe he'd still be around if he had lasted a little longer.  It seems like now they are a lot more hesitant to kill off the major characters than they used to be.  It's like if you are one of the main characters, and you make it into season 5 or 6, you're probably going to be around awhile.  They did kill Glenn, but that was originally part of issue 100 in the comics - Kirkman wanted to do something special for the landmark.

[mandolin]

For those that mentioned that Negan seemed to pause before smiling at Rick when Rick threatened to kill him this time  during the mini lineup, go back and watch the beginning of 7x01. Rick of course uses the same words and Negan's response is very different. It is an interesting juxtaposition, and the show does excel at little details like that. I really did enjoy the ending of 7x16 with all of the callbacks from Glenn's time on the show and season one. I also enjoyed the soundtrack during the fire fight. I have been unhappy with quite a bit, but there are a lot of little details that I can be happy about. I have just had to look super closely… 

 

eta:  it is still crap when the show does things like cliffhangers for seven months of who got the bat or other blatant audience manipulation, but I was looking for a bit of positivity to counter the blah I have been feeling for a while. :p

Eleven pages in, my guess is pretty much everything that could be said, has been said. I watched the finale again yesterday, though, and noticed a couple of details I'd missed the first time...

• When Jadis shoots Rick, it looked to be the proverbial flesh wound, as though the bullet merely grazed his left side. (Didn't want to damage the goods?)
• When walker Sasha attacks Negan and they fall off the truck, the Savior who comes to Negan's aid and is killed instead of Negan is the beanie-wearing Savior who took Enid's knife in Episode 714, "The Other Side."
• Eduardo (aka Man-Bun) was among those from the Hilltop.

Okay, I added that third one because using bullets for only two items just looks wrong.

Overall, I enjoyed the finale although I would have LOVED it beyond measure if they'd actually offed Negan. Damn, you were this close, Sasha!

There was an ASZ character in the beginning who looks like Tobin and was bit while out scavenging.  He wrote a death note or something to somebody ( his wife?). And yeah I think he died at a fence or was eaten at a fence. But Everytime I see Tobin I pause because I think it's him.

[ShadowSixx]

IMO IDK why Sasha would want to turn herself into a walker because walkers have been so useless over the past couple of seasons. If she had morphed into Shiva then alrighty then. Walkers are not even a threat anymore. Any character can get pass them and kill them now. Nobody has been killed by walkers for a long time, characters now are getting shot by other characters. Quite frankly there's no point to walkers anymore. Even wussy ass Gregory was able to keep one from biting him.

I mean how many times have Rick been swarmed by a herd and walks out with no scratches? If walkers were taken out of the show, would you really notice now?

I am fiberglassed, not to mention filed with worriation that people would think verbital agreeance constituates English.

About Bates.  I would encourage you to watch, but the show right now is winding down to the horror-filled ending.  So as not to spoil yourself, I would suggest you start from the beginning.  It's on Netflix.  It is a slow burn the first couple of years, but there's enough creepy to keep you interested.  Season three begins to really ramp up the crazy.  The last year and this one have been full on insanity.  But, the writing is also excellent and the acting above superb.

Enjoy it.

Tobin The Boring is indeed like Eric the Red if Eric were wearing a perpetual red shirt.  And he's like Richard the Lionhearted in that, to be fair to his boringnessiess, (harking back to the first point), he does seem to be brave and a team player.

I get your point, although a fresh walker should still be considered dangerous.  And there are less fresh walkers around these days.  There's a theory that the walkers are slowly going extinct as they rot away.  We see this as they have become easier to kill as the seasons go by, in fact we've seen some of them just fall apart on their own basically.  Many think that this is by design.  But a walker who has just turned should be more dangerous.

Thank you for reminding me of the difference between the two scenes.  I really can't watch the first episode again, I just can't take it.  But, if I remember correctly, Negan immediately got angry and shouted at Rick.

Negan underestimated him then.  I wonder whether that has changed now.  

But, I stand by assertion that that one little moment was the best acting JDM has done on this show.  There was fear and hesitation in his eyes.  For one brief second he realized, as another poster upthread so beautiful said, that he was looking at his death.

I agree.  When the show first started and all the walkers were fresh, they even had the ability to use tools, turn door handles, and look under vehicles for their prey.  A lot of people have complained that they no longer do that and attribute it to poor writing.  But, I've always thought it was part of the deterioration of their brains and bodies.  Therefore, a fresh walker would still retain some cunning and have full strength.

Really, by that point I would think that Negan would have had enough of the BS, and just decide that the Rick experiment was no longer worth continuing.  He should have just killed the core group and found someone else to lead Alexandria, or else just burn the place to the ground.  He didn't know then that the Kingdom and Hilltop were about to arrive to save the day.  Too late now, and looks like next season will be dedicated to "All Out War".

[smorbie]

I said earlier that upon their first meeting, a smarter man would have killed Rick.  I can understand that he thought he had him cowed.  But, it seems to me he couldn't have taken the chance that someone who led a group strong enough to best his men so many times, would remain under his thumb for long.  Let's face it, after he killed enough people, a man like Rick was bound to figure out he could never live in peace with the saviors.

He had to leave someone from the kneeling group alive because he REALLY wanted to get into Alexandria and had to have someone open the gate.  But, he shouldn't have let Rick live.  That was his fatal mistake.

Well, that and the fact that he talks all the time, never changes clothes, wears a pleather jacket in the summer, and leans back constantly when he speaks.

Have I covered it all?

I still say anyone with sense would have not only killed them, but moved headquarters to Alexandria. Those houses are much more appealing than the dreary factory, even though Negan's personal room is pretty cozy.

Regarding Michonne's fight with Blondie, I rewatched last night and I can see now how it wouldn't have been that easy for Michonne to take her down.  She's not as "dainty" or "petite" as I thought on first watch, and the way she was using her elbows leads me to believe that she's used to fighting.  I call her a low rent Rhonda Rousey and just because she's blonde and cute doesn't make her a wuss.  But Michonne prevailed and that's all that matters. 

One of the complaints I've had about CDB is that they all seem to assume that no one else has had it as hard  to survive as they have; that no one else has had to fight as hard as they have; that no one else can fight as well as they can -- and those are all ignorant and arrogant assumptions.

That's a good point.  I guess the thing that bothered me was that in the fights Michonne has been involved, she might not have been the strongest but she was always the SMARTEST fighter and that's how she was always able to win.  I guess Michonne was too busy worrying about Rick to keep her head in the game this time around.  And apparently this is another time that Michonne has lost HER story and been given Andrea's and Andrea got her ass kicked by a man.  I don't know why they made the character a woman, but it doesn't look like Gimple spends much time worrying about whether Michonne's story makes any sense.

I agree that CDB has a huge sense of entitlement because they think they've suffered the most.  It's clear that there are people who have had it as bad or worse.  Look at the women from Oceanside.  They had all of their men and boys murdered.  Imagine how horrible that must have been.  Dwight's an asshole but it must not be easy to watch a psychopath paw your wife.

There's even a hierarchy of suffering WITHIN CDB.  Carol is the Queen of All Suffering because she was an abused woman and she lost her daughter.  But she's not the only one who's lost a child.  Michonne's lost her baby and it's been mentioned twice.  Abraham lost his wife AND kids.  And I don't know how Maggie manages to stay on her feet, considering all that she's been through.  Her accent may suck but I think Maggie is one of the strongest characters on the  show.

Maybe she wasn't petite, but I bet anything she wasn't  as strong as the Governor was. I bet a blow from her wasn't nearly as damaging as having one's head smashed into an aquarium (I have aquariums - without heads in them - and the glass is rather thick) and a brick wall, all of which Michonne endured yet emerged victorious and without even a visible owwie. It was a miracle!
