S08.E06: The King, the Widow, and Rick – Pre-Air Speculation and Live Chat

[halgia]

An argument breaks out at the Hilltop; the consequences of the decision are life versus death.

[CletusMusashi]

I have to work tomorrow night. So y'all give my love to Michonne, who apparently might finally be allowed to do something. (Obviously Rick isn't!). And Rosita. Who at least fucking tried to shoot Negan. And...  yes, even to Dumpster Diva. Because, of all the ridiculously stupid new characters we have to deal with that make no sense whatsoever, she is by far the funniest. Probably completely unintentionally, but, hey, fuck it, I'll take whatever I can get. And she sure as hell ain't gonna monologue.

[Gobi]

I guess it's too late to have an episode titled "The Tiger, the Bitch, and the Warlord".

[AngelaHunter]

Might we get an ep where we don't need to hear any odes/references to,  or descriptions of Negan's almighty dick? It's starting to seem as though it should be listed in the credits.

There should be a writer credit for "additional dick dialogue".

[shanndee]

So, Zeke, Maggie and Rick centric? Hopefully more watchable than last week then.

Hopefully.

[CletusMusashi]

Wow. I just looked to see when the episode replays and... apparently every single other show on AMC has been cancelled, because this ep is going to just play over and over again all night long. And all afternoon they're just showing the rest of this season. Eggs in one basket much?

Preacher is coming back in the winter.

[Raven1707]

To be fair, tonight is the last night of a 4-day holiday weekend, viewership is generally down, and it's not unheard of for networks to resort to repeats & filler on such occasions.

There would be, but he's a 9 year old so they don't want to put his name up on the screen.

I looked at AMC's programming for the next couple of weeks.  Yeow.  Long swaths of MASH, Stooges, and Rifleman.  ("With Chuck Conners!") Multiple airings of Karate Kid and Hocus Pocus?  Looks like TWD is the only jewel in the crown.  And they're capitalizing on that as much as possible with Robert Kirkman chatting about the history of comics and Norman Reedus zooming about.  The less said about Comic Book Men, the better.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Almost time.

We can only hope.

What was all of that stuff Rick was scrounging?

[chick binewski]

Ooh. Dead drop. One more tie-in to Breaking Bad.

Hope everyone had a fabulous holiday weekend.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Hey Michonne!!

[Gobi]

What plan?

[RedheadZombie]

Carl and Michonne!

[candall]

Hi Michonne, from Cletus.

[eejm]

Damn, Aaron is sexy holding a baby.

[raven]

You know they are all like "damn I miss texting".

Goody goody, for real?

[mightysparrow]

They have a mail system?

[RedheadZombie]

More guilt for Carol.

[nodorothyparker]

What?   Did they all get a chain letter or something?  Who's delivering mail in the ZA?

Microwave Post Office.

They're winning???????

[raven]

Why two days?  Why is Rick so sure about 2 days?  NOOOOO not the garbage pail and OMG naked ew.

[chick binewski]

Oh good. They're annoying and nudists.

[SimoneS]

So far this plan has been pretty good, but of course, it never is that easy with this show.

Edited November 27, 2017 by SimoneS

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Seriously?

[eejm]

Why are several of the Garbage Pail Kids naked?

[SimoneS]

Of all the people, they could show us naked, this annoying woman? Really?

[RedheadZombie]

The first person the Saviors kill at Hilltop better be Jesus!

[nodorothyparker]

Naked arts and crafts in the garbage dump.  Sure, why not.  It makes every bit as much sense as anything else about this group.

Before this is over, the Saviors won't have a single unbroken window!

I'd think that could be dangerous while soldering.

[Red Fields]

Naked sculpting!

To make them even more annoying and stupid. Who the hell wanders naked in a zombie apocalypse where you may need to run for your life at any given moment? 

[SimoneS]

So Jesus is wasting  precious food on these people. WTF?

Kevin Costner.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Jesus is feeding this fucktards?

[Boofish]

No one rides harder for this show than I do but these garbage pail fools belong on Z Nation. 

[raven]

See, you have to feed the prisoners.

Why is Gregory talking?  LOL.  Shut up Gregory, though you can be a fun character.

[JackONeill]

A bumper crop of turnips. Yummy.

[eejm]

Let's all say a prayer that the argument at Hilltop results in Gregory's (hopefully painful and gory) death.  Amen.

[RedheadZombie]

Why would Rick go back there?

[Red Fields]

Of course he is!

[Straycat80]

Watch it Jesus, you’re dealing with a woman with pregnancy hormones.
