God I hated that episode

There was no reason for it to be 90 minutes, that's for sure.  Now they have so many damn people and communities, I could understand a longer running time, except they waste all the time on nonsense.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Another non linear episode.

[Morrigan2575]

Caught the ebd of last week's episode. Thise trash can people are still alive!?  They suck

[SimoneS]

A flashback of Carl and Rick, not a good sign.

[CletusMusashi]

Yes. Put them all behind you with guns.

Dammit

[Armchair Critic]

So now the trash people are backing up Rick? He must have given the trash queen a little sumthin' sumthin'

[SimoneS]

The garbage people abandoned Rick. Ha. What a shock.

My husband refuses to watch, so I'm following the live chat while we watch Longmire on Netflix.   (On season 4 and it's a pretty juicy series, I feel a void that I can't discuss it with THIS group lol)

Oh my God, I still need to watch this season! I've been so busy, I almost forgot. Soooo good. 

[Morrigan2575]

I'm not liking these flashbacks

[mightysparrow]

Oh bloody hell, I hate all this time-jumping.

[chick binewski]

Do zombies really coagulate like that? 

[tennisgurl]

You mean the trash people are...trash?!?! Who could have seen this coming?

90 minutes? UGH!

I remember a time when an extended run time was exciting, not a thing to dread. I also remember a time when I would happily spend hours *discussing* the events of the show, not groaning about the stupidity of it. I really miss the days when the characters themselves had active, interesting discussion threads. I can't remember the last time I posted in a character thread. :(

I miss my show. Maybe I'll join AngelaHunter and have a drink or two tonight...that might help me express my snark in a more entertaining fashion.

Hello friends. I've made the executive decision to switch to vodka this evening.

I rarely drink, and only have a frozen margarita, somewhere in the freezer. 

I don't know if I'm going to watch. 

[SimoneS]

This show is so full of shit. Having Carl offering up this bullshit is how they are justifying Negn and Saviors living.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

So CMurda  and Jerry knows shit has hit the fan .

[SimoneS]

Carl is sweating. I am becoming more and more convinced that he was bit.

[Straycat80]

Was Carl hanging around with Jesus?

[SoSueMe]

Oh swell, now they're sweating Coral up.

[CletusMusashi]

Carl, you don't need to try to talk Rick out of shooting Negan. He's aleady got that part of the plan down real well.

[Gobi]

Tonight, on sensitive close-up theatre.

[Ohwell]

This is not looking good at all.

[SimoneS]

I am muting Negan. No one will ever convince me that that piece of shit deserves to live.

[Armchair Critic]

I'm ready for my close up Mr. DeMille..... LOL at what is supposed to be high drama, the closeups of their faces 

[CletusMusashi]

Glenn schmenn. I'd shoot these people just for whistling so much.

[mightysparrow]

All of those close-ups mean that NONE of those people are going to die.

[Morrigan2575]

No close ups on Carol! You hear me show! Carol does not die!

I hate Negan but JDM is still hot...kill him off so we can get John Winchester back!

[nodorothyparker]

Just once could we skip the artsy closeups?  We know who we're watching.

At least when they're nonlinear they have an excuse not to make sense.

[gatopretoNYC]

Well, I've had two glasses of wine with dinner, and I have Bacardi Pina Colada mix in the freezer if if needed.

And, five minutes in, and the ep is already dragging. I'd better pull the blender out of the cupboard.

[Ohwell]

I don't have alcohol but I do have chocolate

[catrox14]

Holy foreshadowing there in the convo between Rick and Carl.

[candall]

I keep hearing about this epic "scene everyone will be talking about."   Will it be one of those ten second show-enders?  Will we know it when we see it?

[chick binewski]

What the hell are you grinning at dumbass? It's 100 degrees, you got no a/c and you are still wearing that inexplicably tight leather jacket? Ugh.

If it's part of what was spoiled, you will.

My guess, Nicotero directed this episode.

Huge fan of Lucio Fulci, who did close up eye shots in his film.

And this week, we all find out that Negan has a micro penis, and literally everything makes sense. The end. 

This is the greatest comment.

[tennisgurl]

Hello red wine my old friend...

Maybe that will help me make sense of this freaking timeline. 

[eejm]

Oh hey, Aaron.  I kind of thought we wouldn't see him and Enid again this season.  I'm glad he looks all pensive and pretty.

I think I speak for all of us when I say if you decide to watch, guzzle, guzzle guzzle!  

[eejm]

Oceanside - oh yeah, that's still a thing.

[Red Fields]

If they are going to off Carl, the least they could have done was give him some screen time this season.

Awwwww thanks! And thank you Negan, for allowing it with your obvious overcompensation! 

[peach]

i just have regular old bud light.  it will have to do

[nodorothyparker]

They're going back to pester Oceanside after they stole all their guns?  I'm sure they'll be happy to see you.

[SoSueMe]

I was wondering whatever became of Oceanside.....

[Mu Shu]

Waste of 5 minutes so far!  Damnit.

[Ohwell]

Enid is a little better-looking now that she's older.

[catrox14]

Is Tara starting to look like Rosita or is that me?

And by Tara I mean Enid. LOL
