Apparently the black coat was causing the speech impediment.  Now that she's sitting around in her slip like something out of a Tennessee Williams play, Jadis remembers how to speak in full sentences.

OK show, having Rick threaten to kill motormouth 57 times in this scene doesn't make it any more likely than the first 57 times he did it.

"Simon takes matters into his own hands."

Different strokes for different folks.


The Lost and the Plunderers.....

the only thing being lost and getting plundered is ~47 minutes of my life whenever I decide to/can get around to watching this.

Aaron and Enid search for allies.

Well, guess they won't get help from Seaside, after that little "I shot Granny" oopsy. I wonder what bizarre groups they'll stumble on - troglodytes, tree dwellers, people living on mosquito burgers, or who kill poeple and wear their skins? After the Junkyard gang, nothing would be too far out.

Can't wait to see what Simon is up to, because I love 1-dimensional characters channelling Oil Can Harry.

I don't know if I'll tune in or not. Simon is better than Negan, but Oceanside needs to just kill Aaron and Enid right where they stand. When members of a pirate gang that has already robbed you come back again, killing, you do not stand there and listen to their excuses. You kill them. If you don't, then that storyline becomes as stupid as Rick and Negan constantly pretending that they are This Time For Realsies Actually Going To Kill The Other Guy.

I got Season 4 of "The Strain" from the library and I'm catching up on that tonight. If I happen to finish an episode right before 9Pm, then maybe I'll switch on AMC. But if it doesn't happen, I doubt I'll miss much.

In case I don't make it back, here's my live commentary for the episode, in advance:

Wow, Saviors sure do talk a lot. These night scenes are too dark. Rick is a moron. Just kill them. Yay, another artsy close-up. Yay, another monologue. Just kill them. Stop talking. At least Simon's a better villain than Negan. Enough already. Stop talking. Kill them. Where did those walkers suddenly come from? Aren't they supposed to be low on ammunition. Uh oh, I think there's one inch of Rick's beard that the sweat-bucket guy missed... nope, my bad. By the time Maggie passes her first trimester, Judith will be big enough to deliver the baby. Daryl needs a shower. Kill them. Shut up. Kill them. Shut up, stop talking, and kill them. Rick is still a moron. Fuck it, I might as well be rooting for Dumpster Diva.

I think that about covers most of it. There's never much else to say any more.

Don't forget...

Aw christ, get some wadded-up kleenex.  Gotta stop the blood coming out of my ears from the aural torture of the Negan monologues.


Its pretty flipping sad how far this show has fallen, in terms of keeping my attention and enthusiasm going.  Every time Negan shows up on screen, I just want to turn it off.  I let my mind wander until the long-winded monologues are done, while trying to keep from falling asleep.

I'm passing tonight in favor of the Academy Awards. I'll watch eventually, but I'm sure I won't be missing anything.

I hardly ever watch them, but I think I'll record them tonight. I'm supposed to be watching a movie with my dad, and I don't think the DVR has picked up TWD tonight, to Talking dead. Depending on how good the movie is, I might be here for the live thread.

I typically don't see many movies, but I saw quite a few of these and I find this more intriguing then what TWD could provide tonight. I couldn't have summed it up better than what CletusMusashi said above.

More monologuing zombies.  Better clothes, though.  Less sweat.
Not by my choice, I will be watching umpteen reruns of Pawn Stars and following along here.

Damn, Cletus, I feel like I already watched it now.

Just plucking that out for it's purity and simplicity.  Applicable in every scene now.

OK, I'm a tad late here, but how exactly is blasting extinguishers at rubble-fires a useful application of resources right now?

It's not but "Carl used to sit on that roof"

Please don't let the entire episode be grief porn.

I have 3 shows I watch on Sundays and now the Academy Awards are on... an abundance of riches for my DVR tonight. Watching TWD live right now but if it's too much grief porn I may be flipping back to the Oscars.

I hate to be repetitive but the show is so why not - I HAAAAAAAAAAATE the garbage people, stupidest story line I can remember on this show and that's saying something.

Oh Rick, those GPK can't be trusted.

 

Hold up, they're all walkers now.

 

Are we supposed to believe they would immediately leave Carl's grave for any reason, much less to go see the garbage people?  How about going to see if Judith is like, still alive?

I kind of like the GPK turning zombie. That means Rick can go there, deal with no vocabulary whatsoever, and go straight to killing zombies and getting absolutely no military backup. Not having them be human pretty much just eliminates the middle man, while providing the exact same level of customer service to Rick.

I think they left because they were going to overrun by zombies.  Going to see the garbage people is stupid though.
