I knew it was going to be Carl's vision of the future

[candall]

Way to go, kid.  That's how all the great ones start.

Interesting.  My memory is that Carl did indeed mow him down in cold blood.  And I was paying better attention back then!

Yeah, also Rick, Carl and Michonne drove right past a hitchhiker and left him to certain death, then scavenged said HH's stuff on the way back. I tagged that as when our heroes started losing their humanity.

[tennisgurl]

Wait, the dream was Carls?!?! And holy crap this death is taking forever!

[wait.what]

So it was Carl’s dream all this time. Not Rick’s 

[tennisgurl]

Henry gets it.

Yes to both.

[wait.what]

Soooo, he’s not gonna die this episode?

[Gobi]

Generallisimo Franco didn't take this long to die.

They might still squeeze it in :)

Well, we have 10 minutes left. Or maybe two with all these commercials. 

[SimoneS]

If I was Rick and Michonne, I would tell Carl whatever it is that he wants to hear and after he died, I would go medieval on Negan and his asshole followers' asses.

[Boofish]

Rest knowing that kid tried to kill you and everyone you loved and only surrendered when he no longer had the upper hand. Do not feel guilty about ridding the world of one less asshole. See you at the crossroads Cooorruuuullll. 

[tennisgurl]

Talking Dead might get awkward tonight...

[EllenC]

Carol looking at the kid like ... uh, oh, another kid in my care?

AL's accent is a little painful right now.

Please tell me Carl is really going to die now.

[raven]

It's taking so long a lot of the emotion is gone for me.

Aw, Chandler looking cute on TD with his short hair.

[SoSueMe]

Chandler with a haircut on TD, finally.

[wait.what]

Is nicotero there to be sure chandler doesn’t say anything against the show??

[chick binewski]

Aw Chandler looks so cute on TTD. I'm feeling Tyrese-like bitterness tonight.

[SimoneS]

Chandler looks handsome with his short hair.

Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

[tennisgurl]

Chandler with a haircut! He looks great! I almost forgot what his face looked like!

[chick binewski]

Whatever you do don't look at the flowers Henry.

[raven]

Henry should be all l "hell yeah it's all right"

Carol, don't yell at the kid now.

[Straycat80]

Uh oh, Carol might take Henry to look at the flowers.

Yes!  I remember rewinding to make sure I was understanding correctly.  Uh-huh, they're backing up the car . . . door opens . . . backpack . . . day-ummm.

 

Good times.

[Gobi]

So, why was Rick limping in Carl's dream?

Carol, don't yell at the kid now.

"You made your bones, son! We're all proud of you!"

[raven]

I'm glad they brought up the promise Michonne and Carl made to each other.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Carl knows it would break them, how selfless.

[wait.what]

Did they ever explain the helicopter rick saw a few(?) episodes ago? 

Or did I dream that?

Spoiler

It's a spoiler from the comics. 

[SimoneS]

Awww, Carl wants to spare Rick and Michonne having to kill kill him.

FUCK THAT SHIT

[magpye29]

I've got something in my eye...I think it's a Volkswagen!

[raven]

They had to show fucking Negan. 

[Red Fields]

Oh shit!

My issue is that the dialogue is sometimes so soft and the music is so freaking loud.

They have to have music blasting - sad violins, rousing orchestral, suspenseful piano tinkling - loud enough to drown out dialogue.  If they didn't do this, we wouldn't know how we're supposed to feel during any given scene, cuz we're all pretty obtuse. 

[Gobi]

Since Carl is now officially a Christ figure, does that mean he'll rise from the dead?

[Straycat80]

Oh hell no! Negan in the happily ever after! Bull and shit! 

[magpye29]

Oh fuck no!!!

[tennisgurl]

Wait...the fuck? 

[Spartan Girl]

OH HELL NO. Negan does not belong in the fantasy!

[SimoneS]

Farewell, Carl.

[CletusMusashi]

So is Carl dead for real now, or are they gonna keep time-jumping around some more next week?

[raven]

Doesn't look like we're getting Carl's peaceful Utopia next week!

[SimoneS]

And just like that I am done.

[nodorothyparker]

So in whose fantasy is it that Negan's happily growing vegetables?

[magpye29]

BTW Chris Hardwick, it's not an unimaginable loss when Gimple's been beating us over the head with it for months!
