S08.E04: Some Guy – Pre-Air Speculation and Live Chat

[halgia]

A new weapon in the Savior arsenal proves to be a giant hurdle as fighting continues.

[iRarelyWatchTV36]

"A new Savior weapon" in the episode named 'Some Guy'.  

So what's the weapon and/or guy.... is it a Eugene brainstorm?  Walker!Eric??  Every Savior now carries around a pre-recorded Negan speech, played on repeat, so the 'enemy' blows their own brains out to avoid the ear-bleeding torture???

[BetyBee]

Is it the trojan horse of all the prisoners at the Hilltop?  Gregory said that Negan already knew the intel he gave him.  So there must be a spy (Some Guy?) and that spy could release and arm the prisoners.  

[Gobi]

It's probably the machine guns that showed up at the end of last week's episode.

[raven]

A hurdle?

Also, for some reason the episode title makes me laugh.

[nodorothyparker]

Given the last couple of episodes, this episode title makes me think that's what we'll be looking at in Part 4 of this season's shoot 'em up.  Who's that?  Some guy.  Who's he shooting at?  I dunno.  Some guy.

[leocadia]

The title leads me to believe that it must have something to do with Eugene.  Last season in "Hostiles and Calamities" didn't Negan say something to him along the lines of "So you really are just some guy..." ? or maybe I'm remembering incorrectly.  I don't feel like firing up the Netflix to check.

Good catch!  I read or heard one of TPTB say that someone was going to challenge Negan for most hated character.  I thought maybe it would be Gregory doing something really bad, but maybe it will be Eugene if he really helps Negan do some damage to CDB.

What's this "war" about anyways?  Some guy who talks too much pissed off some bearded guy who kills some other guys with a hand-ax after he makes promises to them.  Heard he ran down a dude in a cop car once too, but you know they say about rumors & assumptions...

All I could find was this:

Eugene: I – I am, indeed, a smarty-pants. I...taught myself to cast bullets. I...found a – found a machine shop with the necessary... I – I read a lot, and, um... Although my... Even though my memory is not considered eidetic, I don’t skim and I don’t scrimp. If knowledge is dropped, I do, indeed, pick it up.
Negan: (chuckles) Oh, you really are just some asshole. (The other Saviors look amused)
Eugene: N-No. I’m not. I have PhDs in biochemistry, as well as immunology and microbiology, and I have completed my doctorate, which makes me a doctor. Prior to the collapse, I was part of a 10-person team at the Human Genome Project, working under Dr T. Brooks Ellis to weaponize diseases to fight weaponized diseases. Fire with, uh...you know, f-fire. Well, see, interdepartmental drinks were – (Stops in mid-sentence, distracted by a loud walker which has been impaled inside the chain-link fence and is so badly decomposed that its body from the rib cages on down just suddenly drops away, followed by assorted internal organs)

[Nashville]

I'm betting the "some guy" turns out to be Carol - who the Saviors see make it to the building, but dismiss as "just some guy - and he's only one guy, what can he do?"  Their mistake.

I just bet that's totally accurate. It's the way I've spent the last couple eps. Who is that? Where are they? What are they doing?

[leocadia]

@Raven1707 - Thank you for looking up the correct dialog!  Obviously my memory was faulty, as that is definitely the exchange I was talking about.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Looks like this will one will heavily focus on The Kingdom and Eziekiel.

[JackONeill]

I wonder when the new season’s going to start?

Wait. What was that? You say it has? Who knew?!?

[AllyS]

I am going to go out on limb and say "Some Guy" is that man rambling to himself, that Carl left food for. Please, whomever you maybe, do not speechify, monologue, or make Shakespearean decrees...or I'll be wishing for Daryl to pop-out of no where to give give him the thump.

*groan*

The one person who gives Negan's vocal cord workout regime a run for their money.

I don't know about speechifying, but he does a lot of pacifying of imaginary people so he can ease his conscience before and as he's eating them.... at least going by the little bit we saw of him before.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Have to give props to Eziekiel's Squad, they're ride or Die.

[Armchair Critic]

I really wanted to see Ezekiel's beauty rituals... said no one

[chick binewski]

Guys don't be negative. We may find out the backstory of the Pancake Incident tonight.

[Gobi]

Great, more flashbacks.

[Irishmaple]

It’s a cult of personality but Ezekiel uses his powers for good.

Edited November 13, 2017 by Irishmaple

[MrsRafaelBarba]

He's preparing, slipping  his KANG persona.

This is earlier that day.

[chick binewski]

Montage of future dead people we never knew is always sad. I think?

[tennisgurl]

Eziekel is basically the definition of "Extra" and I still love it. 

[SimoneS]

The pet tiger, the most ridiculous thing ever.

[candall]

Ooh, I like King Ezekiel's look, but I'm okay with Morning Zeke, too.

[nodorothyparker]

Oh hell.  They're going to make us watch all the Kingdomers say their last goodbyes before riding off to die, aren't they?

[tennisgurl]

I want a whole episode from Shivas point of view sometime. 

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Khary  Payton has a nice body.

I love this idea, LOL.

[SimoneS]

Another damn monologue. I remember when people used to have conversations on this show.

[Armchair Critic]

Cute redhead guy can get it

[Boofish]

I love the people of The Kingdom. I wish he could have bought them all back home safe and sound

[maystone]

Wait. Did Dianne get killed? Because they better not have killed Dianne. I thought I saw her leaping onto the Ezekiel pigpile in the previouslies. Save Dianne!

[Irishmaple]

The man can talk!

[Mu Shu]

fuck!  Monologue.  Damnit

[AimingforYoko]

The slow pace is a double-edged sword, it extends the series to be as profitable as possible and gives actors like Danai a plausible out to pursue other(better) projects, but it is killing the narrative flow.

She's at Hilltop.

[MostlyContent]

Well, you're not going to be smiling for long......so zip it.

[riverheightsnancy]

Better not kill off King Z tonight-or I will be PISSED.

[Boofish]

This makes me a little sad. 

[Gobi]

And yet I monologue.

[mightysparrow]

Oh thank God!  The one thing this show doesn't have enough of is fucking monologues.

[SimoneS]

I expect him to bust out:

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,

[Mu Shu]

Ok braveheart.

[tawny411]

Another thing I love about Shiva. No monologues.

[Armchair Critic]

Ezekiel was an athletic coach in another life time - "we are one!"

[AimingforYoko]

Damn, the practical effects guys got to go wild.

[Straycat80]

the king lives!
