[AimingforYoko]

Looks like they should get a good supply of weapons, too. Unlike some people.

If only the show would give us more of that and less monologuing and conveniently timed pacifism.

The lesson we learned this week? Less pointless villain speeches, and more rocket launchers. 

These statements cannot be repeated often enough!

Okay, now I want to watch! I've got a movie on right now, but checked in to see if rumors were true. Gregory in a cage, and rosita cutting short a monologue? I'm in. 

I have to wait for everyone else to go to bed, since I'm the last person in my family clinging to this stupid show.  lol  So I'll be watching later, too.   With no commercials!

[SimoneS]

Got to say, I am quite enjoying this episode.

[tennisgurl]

Awesome outfit Jerry. He looks all kinds of fabulous. 

[raven]

"Yo!  Door's not locked."

Hee!

OK Zeke I know you're verrrry sad but you gotta get over it.

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? 

Probably lost their clothes the same place they lost 3/4 of their vocabulary.

Thank you for cutting yet another monologue short, Rosita.

Yup!  Almost makes up for Rosita DROPPING HER GUN.

[tennisgurl]

Its time for a Carol pep talk, which usually goes along the lines of "stop whining and get some shit done". 

[SimoneS]

Zeke speaking regular English. Guess the trauma of his loss has shocked the Shakespeare out of him. I approve.

[chick binewski]

And we get a Jerry one-liner too. 

[eejm]

Aw, Ezekiel...I liked Shiva too, but at least you have like 1000 extra pounds of meat a day to feed the nine surviving people of the Kingdom.

If only we could shock the stupid speak out of the Garbage Pail Kids. 

[minamurray78]

ENOUGH with The King's Speech, just get over it Ezekiel.

[mightysparrow]

Zeke, you don't have time for the luxury of angst.  ALL OUT WAR, DUDE!  Whatever's left of your community needs you.  If you really don't think you're worthy, you wouldn't hole up in a FUCKING THEATRE!!! 

[RedheadZombie]

Everybody needs a little Carol in their life.

[candall]

Everything going on seems to be hinged on this "plan" and I have no idea what the plan is.  Does anyone?

[SimoneS]

Carol and Zeke do the deed now!

[tennisgurl]

Just make out already guys. 

[SoSueMe]

Okay, if Zeke wants to lose some of that hair, I can actually see him with Carol.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Zeke get your punk ass up.

Yep. While most of the Saviors are trapped, they are systematically taking out the outposts and taking their weapons to weaken the Saviors. The garbage part of the plan is stupid though.

[eejm]

See Ezekiel?  Carol gets it.  The folks in the Kingdom need a little bullshit in order to keep going.  

[Lillith]

Thank God for Carol and thank God for Melissa McBride because I swear her acting has saved more than one episode for me. 

[tennisgurl]

To be fair, if I had a pet tiger and lost it, and I would pretty sad too.

The hair gives Carol something to hold onto when she rides that stallion. Ha.

Seems to be hem in The Sanctuary with the herd, take down the outposts. Let a few days pass to gather their manpower and supplies and let hunger and thirst and unrest set in with The Saviors and make a final assault.

I love how we're all so bloodthirsty!! 

NOOOOO not the savior prisoners.  Oh look they're plotting color me shocked.

[candall]

Carol, please just take Ezekiel to bed.

[SimoneS]

Poor Aaron. 

[eejm]

Aw, Aaron.  You'd look sexier...um, feel better if you had baby Gracie back in your arms.

OMG YOU GUYS ROSITA BLOWING THAT GUY AWAY BEFORE HE COULD MONOLOGUE MADE THIS EPISODE!!!

The show runners should institute a new rule.  Every time someone starts a monologue...rocket launcher.

[Gobi]

Looks like Maggie had that baby.

[tennisgurl]

Poor Widower Aaron.

Carol lost a child and found a way to go on.

He's annoying me.

I support this recommendation.

[mightysparrow]

Oh Aaron. 

Maggie, give the baby back to Aaron.  He needs someone to love right now.

[Mimiray802]

They are totally setting up Carl to take Rick's place. I don't want Siddiq to join team family. He seems smart and joining team family  makes you dumb. Also they are definitely foreshadowing Jesus being a traitor when Rosita said something like thank Jesus... Tara and Daryl rammed that music blasting truck.

[SimoneS]

Aaron looking very handsome tonight.

[raven]

That's right Maggie, kill em if you can't trade them.

Where you going, sad Aaron?  Don't go alone.  Why is everyone running off and not telling anyone what they're doing??

[SimoneS]

Of course, now he is going off with Enid alone. What is it with these people and going off by themselves?

Michonne lost a child and found a way to go on. 

I like the King but he doesn't get to feel sorry for himself.  People are depending on him.

[SimoneS]

So they have Rick half naked in the a container. Ridiculous, show, ridiculous!

Edited November 27, 2017 by SimoneS

[raven]

Fabulous foursome get ready to do something cool and we cut back to the junkyard BOO.  And Rick is locked up because he's not so smart.  He is naked though. 

More rocket launchers please.

[Nashville]

At least Rick doesn't have to put up with an annoying repetitive soundtrack....

 Exactly.

[catrox14]

Well that was a nothingburger ending

[chick binewski]

What. OK, we're not seeing the helicopter again til 2019.

[candall]

Would the story be any different next week if we hadn't had this episode?

Rick would have clothes on?  But, rocket launcher!
