nodorothyparker October 21, 2017 Share October 21, 2017 Rick and his group, along with the Kingdom and Hilltop, have banded together to bring the fight to Negan and the Saviors. Link to comment
nodorothyparker October 21, 2017 Author Share October 21, 2017 Episode guide says it ends at 10:07. So a little over an hour minus however many commercials we figured out ran last season. 3 Link to comment
SharonH58 October 21, 2017 Share October 21, 2017 commercials are very preachy and rah rah. The world is ours! Ah, no. You can't run one town. Or prison. 2 Link to comment
nodorothyparker October 21, 2017 Author Share October 21, 2017 The first couple minutes of the episode are available on the AMC site and Rick's doing plenty of his terrible pep talking to mostly slack-jawed extras there too. It's going to be the battle of the monologuers. 7 Link to comment
raven October 22, 2017 Share October 22, 2017 I don't care if Rick monologues. I'm here for Rick and company. Go team :D I watched some of the hype shows that my DVR picked up and did get a laugh at everyone imitating Andy Lincoln saying "Coral". 16 Link to comment

I only watch this show for Rick and his people so I have no problem if they occasional monologue. I gave up last season because of Negan's neverending monologues and if we are getting more Negan this season, I am bailing again. Edited October 22, 2017 by SimoneS 2 Link to comment
Gobi October 22, 2017 Share October 22, 2017 (edited) I think that, instead of being killed, I would prefer that Negan is allowed to live, with his vocal cords severed. The episode could be titled: "I have no voice and I must monologue." Edited October 22, 2017 by Gobi 7 Link to comment
Irishmaple October 22, 2017 Share October 22, 2017 I would love if Negan was killed off in a hideous manner in the first ten minutes but, much as I despise the character, I’ve come to terms with the probability that he is not going anywhere. I can’t swallow a redemption arc though. Show cannot ask me to bond with a character who viciously and gleefully murdered Glen. I don’t care how bad his life was pre- and post-apocalypse. He could donate a kidney to Judith, and I’d still want him dead. 17 Link to comment
nodorothyparker October 22, 2017 Author Share October 22, 2017 So it would just be Negan holding up filled posterboard after posterboard like the other project Andrew Lincoln is most famous for? I might watch that. 10 Link to comment
CletusMusashi October 22, 2017 Share October 22, 2017 Maybe Negan will go on a stealth mission with Dumpster Diva, and every time he gets five words into a speech she'll shut him up with up with "Quiet. Stalk now." And then he can mug and contort his spine around while she walks like an Egyptian. Rick Grimes and his motivational speeches are always good fun. Because being motivated to follow Rick Grmes means that there will a mass culling of red shirts, thereby making it easier for us to remember who each character is. Make sure you scream about the importance of silence again, Rick. Oh, and get the balloons ready. Balloons are always helpful. 6 Link to comment

Even with Negan dead, there are still his henchmen to deal with, and there are still way to many people on this show who yak yak yak. Kill Negan, and there would still be fights and action. I don't think Negan is necessary anymore than the idiot garbage people are. I don't want to see redemption SLs for any of Negan's people either. They keep killing off characters I like, and replacing them with boring morons. 7 Link to comment
CletusMusashi October 22, 2017 Share October 22, 2017 OK, I just went to the AMC site and watched the opening. I started by googling "AMC," and the first link that popped up suggested that I buy tickets for "Boo 2! A Madea Halloween." I can't believe I'm saying this, but the first option might actually have been the better choice. This is just... sad. Whatever the hell Tara is doing with the licorice is kind of funny, but besides that this just looks awful. I thought I was gonna hold off a few more hours before I started drinking, but that time table just got sped way up. 5 Link to comment
Irishmaple October 22, 2017 Share October 22, 2017 (edited) The garbage people make no sense to me. I mean, in theory it’s fine. Great place to hide. Probably useful stuff for scavenging. Who’s going to come look for you in a dump? But the execution is mystifying. Their society is choreographed. Their language is ridiculous. Jadis is dumb enough to think Negan won’t backstab her ass as easy as breathing. She’s competing for the same dwindling resources. She’s equally disinclined to make her community relatively self sufficient. Other than a source of redshirts, she’s nothing but downside. If I can’t have Negan dead before 10.07pm tonight, then I’ll settle for pest extermination. Start drinking? Were we supposed to agree on a time because ... yeah. Oops.

Glaze Crazy October 22, 2017 Share October 22, 2017 Tonight will be the biggest test of my decision to cut the cord (satellite dish) a couple months ago. This show was about the only one I watched "real time" and posting in the live chats was part of the fun. I've already purchased the season pass for TWD on Amazon (for half the price of one month of satellite service, financial win!) but won't see the first episode until tomorrow. The test is that I can't join in here and read all the funny real time if I want to be spoiler free. But! I will be reading these live threads as I make my way through the episodes once I get them. I know you guys will deliver the snark. 4 Link to comment

TigerLynx October 22, 2017 Share October 22, 2017 To me, Negan needs to die in this episode if for nothing else, the crime of having had Darryl as a prisoner, and never making him shower. That is unforgivable. Also, I would really like for one of the women to comment, "Can you believe how shiny and glossy Carl's hair is?

So, five minutes of the show and five of commercials sounds about right. Some of the commercials are so long and filled with some sort of spin-offs of this show that more than once I've stopped my FFing, thinking they were part of the show. The actress who plays Dumpster Diva is named "Pollyanna"? I'd be impressed with the irony, except for the fact that I doubt ol' Robert "Torture porn really tickles my wee balls" Kirkman is familiar with that term. Yeah, I'll watch.

What went down in E15 didn't sit well with me at all. Excellent point. I hate Jardis, not just for her annoying clothes, manner of speaking and the first name of the actor who plays her, but because she had the nerve to disrespect Michonne. Rick Grimes is no prize but to ask a woman if her man is up for grabs is way off base. I was shocked and angry when it turned out that the Garbage Pail kids had betrayed Rick but when I think about what happened to the Oceanside women, I can't say that I blame her. Rick Grimes and his merry band have destroyed every community they've encountered. They didn't even give the Oceanside community a chance to say 'no'. Rick has a lot of chickens waiting to come home to roost but I hope I'm still watching when that one does. 4 Link to comment

Ouisch October 23, 2017 Share October 23, 2017 (edited) I really, really dislike Negan, if not for anything else but that annoying habit he has of leaning backward every other word when he speaks. (As parodied here in "The Negan Dip".) Edited October 23, 2017 by Ouisch 4 Link to comment
candall October 23, 2017 Share October 23, 2017 I'm watching the last episode while I wait for the new season. They're hyping that "FIRST TIME EVER ON NATIONAL TV!!!" deleted scene like somebody just dug up the last Dead Sea Scroll and religion has been solved. Mostly it seems a little slow. I keep getting distracted thinking about Sacha rolling along through the Georgia summer heat, packed in that blanket-covered coffin, having a little "alone time." I guess it's just a nitpick, but it's too damn weird how half the cast is bundled up in winter gear--Negan's in a zipped-up leather jacket with a muffler, FFS--and the other half is wearing little pitted out tank tops with sweat stains. 9 Link to comment
