Kid gonna die.

[catrox14]

Why is Carol always stuck with disobedient children?

When did Carl become such a boy scout?  He used to be the toughest mother fucker in town.

Isn't he the one who rallied for Tyreese, Sasha, etc?

[raven]

I'm not in the mood for another story about a moppet getting attached to Carol.

[chick binewski]

They are just bouncing all over the place this episode.

[AimingforYoko]

Carl really took Negan's "future serial killer" shot to heart, didn't he. He's trying to be different.

[tennisgurl]

What Carols been missing this whole time...her very own Robin. Or possibly a Cousin Oliver. 

[eejm]

Careful, kid.  Carol doesn't have such a good track record with keeping kids safe.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Callback to Sophia.

 

The young actor is Madison Lintz's brother.

[SoSueMe]

Oh, they'll be talking about Carol's kid tutoring on TD tonight, I bet.

[RedheadZombie]

Can't they just find Carl a eye patch?  And cut his hair?

[eejm]

Calling it now: we'll see Siddiq on Talking Dead tonight.

[SimoneS]

Carl has always tried to help people, especially since Rick and Hershel got him back on track.

I like Carl so I appreciate the show is trying to do something interesting with him but there's too much going on and they won't do the storyline justice I bet.

Toughest mother killer.

Hee!

 

Carol and another child.  That should end well.

[candall]

Geez, another kid for Carol?  Please stop, show.

[nodorothyparker]

I love Carol, but I simply cannot watch yet another story about getting attached to another kid who's only going to end up dead, probably horribly.

[Bryce Lynch]

Yes, Siddiq, you need to honor your parents... unless they are total morons like Rick.

[tennisgurl]

Christ, why are fucking phone covers getting the Toy Story 3 treatment? This is making me weirdly emotional. 

[RedheadZombie]

Surely they won't kill Sophia's brother.  Surely . . . .

Negan is full of shit. I certainly hope none of the characters consider some insightful fountain of knowledge.

I don’t believe him. I think he is playing Carl.

[tennisgurl]

Just now, SimoneS said:

Negan doesn't know shit about anyone. 

Well, he does talk about shit a lot...

[RedheadZombie]

So Jesus stands 24/7 guarding the prisoners?  Is that why his hair is so dirty?

Carl does have an eye for spotting people that would be useful to the group.  But to go off into the woods by himself like that seems risky. 

[Cheetosandchoc]

This won’t go well.

[RedheadZombie]

Chicken coops won't contain the Saviors.

IKR.

Me: Hey writers, know what would be ground breaking? Attaching a kid to Carol without it ending horribly. Wouldn't that be a nice surprise for a change?

Writers: Nope. We like the established pattern. So do the viewers.

[SimoneS]

That is supposed to be a prison? They could bum rush them and kill all the Hilltoppers.

[catrox14]

Two at a time? Really. So Jesus is Noah, too?  I don't get Jesus' deal right now

Daryl's influence is starting to rub off on him.

[AimingforYoko]

Bye, Felicia.

[SimoneS]

Cal! Getting his revenge for the stolen pancakes.

[eejm]

Yee haw, Gregory is going in the hole!

Carl does have an eye, I'll say that for him.

[tennisgurl]

Hahahahahah! Greg goes to jail! While whinning like a bitch! This is giving me WAY too much joy.

"Look at the flowers, Henry."

[SimoneS]

Gregory crying is the one of the best parts of the episode do far.

[Boofish]

I hate Gregory but this is bullshit. Jesus belongs in that cage

[raven]

Ooh putting Gregory with the Savior prisoners is like putting a bunny in with coyotes.  Except bunnies are cute.

I like seeing the long haired creep get knocked around.  Will he never die??

[tennisgurl]

The pancakes have been avenged. 

[eejm]

Jeez, Carl.  Don't turn your back on the guy.  

[Cheetosandchoc]

Maggie should of killed him. Now they will revolt and kill half of hilltop.

fuck this show.

[SimoneS]

Even locked the Saviors are still full of braggadocio. Someone please kill them all.

[RedheadZombie]

I can't recall why Diane is at Hilltop.  I'm assuming it's because they wanted her to live.

[chick binewski]

Oh yeah. This'll be a bonding experience.

[raven]

This does not seem like a good plan, Carl.

I'm surprised the zombies got up from their meal.

Look at how the hat never falls off LOL.

I think Siddiq's mom would want him to not put himself into a position to get killed.

[Gobi]

138, 139, 140...

[tennisgurl]

Gregory crying officially bumps this episode up a letter grade.
