S08.E05: The Big Scary U – Pre-Air Speculation and Live Chat

[Armchair Critic]

"thin dick" - Negan sure has a way with words (eyeroll)

[CletusMusashi]

I think Gregory needs a few rounds of "Easy Street." 

[eejm]

Jeez, will Gregory FINALLY die?  I haven't seen a character who is more overdue for dying than Mickey Doyle from Boardwalk Empire.

Yawn.  Maybe I need a snack.  No, it's too late.  No snack at 9 pm.  Must be strong!

Or... there must be some leftover Halloween candy somewhere.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

I think you're a flat backed asshole Negan.

[chick binewski]

Oh good. We're sticking with penis texture as a theme tonight.

[minamurray78]

YOU GUYZ GREGORY IS SO INTERESTINNNNN

[raven]

I mean, we know Gregory isn't going to get killed here, etc.

There might (and that's a really doubtful might) if they had placed this scene in the premiere.

Nah, probably still be dull.

[headhoncho]

poor Lucille

[EllenC]

Is Maggie's awful, uneven accent starting to rub off more on Negan, or is it just me?

[Armchair Critic]

Negan doesn't look as threatening with his schoolboy haircut

[minamurray78]

"A thick and veiny show of " ugghhh shut up.

[CletusMusashi]

Lucille has a headache.

[candall]

People are a resource?  Maybe we're going somewhere with that Soylent Green thing.

[MostlyContent]

Is this new scary (as opposed to sneering) Negan suppose to be ................scary?  Snooze.

Are we backslidin'??? You tryin to weaken me :D

[minamurray78]

Again, it is incredible Negan hasn't been killed by his own people already.

It's like rock, paper, scissors - gun defeats bat, or at least person holding bat, every time.  Or is it should (Rosita).

Look out saviors!  Some windows are gonna break now!

[chick binewski]

Yes, you're evil and monstrous, yadda yadda yadda.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

A gunshot is the equivalent of doorbell in the ZA.

[CletusMusashi]

But how do they know Rick forgot his shooting pants?

[nodorothyparker]

Oh, so Negan wasn't just being his usual smartass self when he told Rick he was in a meeting.  I think we're supposed to think that's really clever.

[Armchair Critic]

Here we go with Father "Shittin' Pants"

[Gobi]

Someone with far less talent has been watching too many Chris Nolan movies.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Oh Gabriel, one head shot could've ended  GLOBAL suffering.

[raven]

Someone got paid to write this dialogue.

"Your friend Rick's an asshole."  "You're an asshole".

[MrsRafaelBarba]

The return of S5 Father Gabriel.

[chick binewski]

Sure, Jan.

[SoSueMe]

Looooong cold open.

[EllenC]

It's too dark on my TV to see much of this. Alas. I feel I am missing so much.

 

Oh, dear God, Gabriel, his confession? This ep is going to be.one.long.monologue.

It would have ended mine.  :)

[raven]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Father Gabriel is going to take Negan's confession.  NOOOO

[eejm]

Even though I like the character of Ezekiel, I'm going to be referring to him as "King Assface" now just because I like it so much.

[nodorothyparker]

Considering the death toll of red shirts the last couple of weeks, Negan's actually not wrong about Rick.  You don't know how much it pains me to type that.

[Gobi]

I sure hope we learn more of Red Hatchet's back story tonight.

[AimingforYoko]

Gabriel: "I'm here to take your confession."

Commentariat: "Nooooooooooooooooo!"

[mightysparrow]

SG just reminded me that this show has a surplus of extremely talented actors that they just let go to waste.

With an extra 13 minutes!

[CletusMusashi]

This season has been so crappy that I'm actually kind of enjoying Negan.

[candall]

You know the writers are so PROUD of this non-linear business.  And it might even have been cool, if the fill-in-the-timeline background were more interesting.

That's Red Machete; I know, it is difficult to keep all of the fascinating backstories straight :)

Reddy Machete!

[Lillith]

I haven't been this bored with this show since the "Governor-centric" episodes. It feel just so meandering and pointless. And yet hear I am half watching it.

weeks or you might say years. Oh, more time jumping. Delightful.

[raven]

Don't talk Rick, just shoot.

[CletusMusashi]

Is Rick trying to do a Negan lean?

[shanndee]

My earlier heavy sigh is being replaced by a sad sigh. It saddens me to be here enjoying the snark instead of staring attentively at the screen and eagerly enjoying or joining the after show thread. :(  

[CletusMusashi]

Wow. Even with a bullet through the diaphragm, these people still want to talk.

[candall]

Which of those many random empty rooms and hallways was supposed to be the chemical plant?
