Here we go! People I truly can say you crazy, witty folks are the only reason I'm still watching. Keep me strong and filled with snark! 

Welcome back show!

Was that the scene where Michonne was giving Carl a pep talk about beating their enemies?

 

 

Yes.

[raven]

Speech speech!

[Lillith]

Oh yay, Ricks speechifying. 

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Tara looks ridiculous

[Armchair Critic]

At least Carol is back in the action...

[DearEvette]

Rick is doing his version of a St. Crispin's Day speech.  Bless his heart.

[Gobi]

Rick is channeling Robert Baratheon! It is mine by right!

Twizzlers!!!!

And awesome sunglasses!

[nodorothyparker]

Did he say we don't have shame or we don't have Shane?  I guess either is true.

[raven]

That's Aaron's boyfriend in front, right?

[chick binewski]

DARYL AND DWIGHT ARE DART BUDDIES!

[Straycat80]

Arrow gram 

[Red Fields]

This info exchange looks promising.

[DearEvette]

Did Carole just give Tara's twizzler and "Oh for fuck's sake" look?

[raven]

Two alpha males and one alpha Maggie.

[mightysparrow]

Finally someone who knows how to deliver a fucking speech!

Not you, Maggie.

[Irishmaple]

King Ezekiel looking fine.

[Rosiejuliemom]

Zeke quoting Shakespeare? Pretty nice.

Good to see you, Tobin!

[Gobi]

We've been through it over and over again, too, Maggie.

She wasn't the only one! ;)

[Morrigan2575]

More Ezekiel speaches, that man's got style!

Yes, that's Eric.

I feel like they keep trotting him out like Chekov's Boyfriend - he's gonna get killed in order to make Aaron do something super-heroic and stupid.

[riverheightsnancy]

Sorry, Maggie as a leader doesn't work for me.  Sort of like Madison on FTWD.  The whole idea of the "world is ours" is exactly the same belief system that Neegan has. How is theirs more noble?

[Red Fields]

So are they driving a herd towards Negan-ville?

[Morrigan2575]

Is tonight the 100th episode?

[SoSueMe]

What up with the brush cut?

[nodorothyparker]

 Nicotero's art school film: Part Deux

[CletusMusashi]

Rip Van Winkle!

[Rosiejuliemom]

At least that facial hair was clean. Unlike the Critterbeard.

[chick binewski]

Andrew Lincoln appearing as Viggo Mortensen in this week's Walking Dead

[Armchair Critic]

WTF kind of Lucy in the sky with diamonds crap was Rick seeing himself gray haired and bearded in bed?

[CletusMusashi]

Who provided the Weird Al music? I'm betting Jerry.

[Irishmaple]

That theme still chills my spine and I saw Walkers. Eight minutes in and no Negan. All good so far!!

[Straycat80]

What's with the cane, Rip Van Rick, and Weird Al's Another One Rides The bus playing as background music? Strange.

To paraphrase Cameron Poe, "He's on the right show."

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Seth and Ross in the opening credits.

[calliope1975]

I don't know if I've skipped one or two seasons and I'm confused by all these newbs (to me,) but I thought I'd check in on the Mother Ship once again. I did miss you, Rick.

I was hoping they'd use a heard-attack on sanctuary but I'm hoping it's an epic takedown and not another bust

Honestly, if it is as beautifully shot as What Happened and What's Going On, I won't complain.

[CletusMusashi]

I know some people were a bit rough on Alanna about her weight gain after the pregnancy, but, girl, if you want people to stop, you can't just show up for the scene with big hunks of candy hanging out of your mouth. I'm just saying.

[Irishmaple]

Is that woman telling me a sandwich made in 1983 is fresh??

[nodorothyparker]

Carl's driving now.  How much time has supposed to have passed again?

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Homage the the pilot, when Rick stopped at a gas station.

[CletusMusashi]

Not another monologue. Just shoot him please.

[chick binewski]

Holy crap even the unseen guest star has an annoying monologue!

[SoSueMe]

Shouldn't Coral be having depth perception issues?
