S08.E11: Dead or Alive Or – Pre-Air Speculation And Live Chat

[nodorothyparker]

Quote

Daryl finds himself in bad company as his group heads to the Hilltop.  Maggie makes difficult decisions at the Hilltop as Gabriel's faith becomes tested.

[iRarelyWatchTV36]

Dead or Alive.... so wait.  They're playing fighting video games now??!  Don't get me wrong, the bouncy female parts are addictive, but is the middle of an "ALL OUT WAR" really the time for such?  Seems Eugene has made quite the upgrade from his old Atari setup we've seen in the past.

[nodorothyparker]

I thought maybe it meant they'd be trotting out '80s one-hit wonders as guest walkers.  That would still probably be an improvement over much of what we've seen..

[heisenberg]

Daryl drives a motorbike so I guess '80s one-hit wonders it is,

I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive. :)

But I bet they don't have the the budget to play the song, so the title and maybe the celebrity walkers too it will be.

What could possibly test FPP's faith? Doesn't he get to listen all day to Negan talking about shitting pants?

[Smad]

Is this another episode to skip? I'm just wondering because I skipped last week's. Can't wait to find out once I read the live chat/discussion threads.

Yeah, it's not like anything has happened yet that might test somebody's faith.

Just listening to Negan go on and on and on and on and... still going, is enough to test anyone's faith.

When that guy finally dies, they better 'brain' him to ensure he can't be a walker.  If there was one person who could actually find a way to speak after dying & be a 'talkative' walker, it'd be him.  TAKE NO CHANCES!!

Not to mention hearing how Negan rubbed one out (isn't that a sin of some sort?) right where FPP was sitting, just to help him calm down.  Guess they ran out of Ativan. I mean, I know FPP has done the same manymanymany times, but at least he has the good taste not to mention it. Maybe Kirkman found the Negan-floggin'-it imagery hot and sexy, but I did not.

So: Are we pissin' our pants yet in anticipation at another exciting, emotionally-impacting episode?

Every time Rick says, "I"m gonna kill you" - drink.

Does that much alcohol even exist?

[iRarelyWatchTV36]

I'm gonna do what I did last week, 'watch' it through everyone's descriptive reactions in this thread.

Just to kill time until 9p CST when the show I really want to watch starts.

"What is your pre-TWD ritual every Sunday?"
"Knockin' off a liquor store."

I'm well-stocked but it's hard to attain the fine line between being so looped you pass out, and just looped enough that what you're watching starts to make some sort of sense, or merely makes you laugh.

Rick to Gareth: "I'm going to kill you."

Rick kills Gareth at first opportunity.

Rick to Negan: "I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill you. I'm going to kill you."
Doesn't kill Negan. Goes out of his way, even risking his own hands being ripped to shreds, to NOT kill Negan.

You'd look like a zombie yourself afterwards with the amount of alcohol intake needed.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Stocked with Brandy and ready to Snark.

Don’t you want surprises?

[Mr. Sparkle]

I have a special Dubbel I've been saving. I'm not going to work tomorrow, so I can drink the whole thing. Provided I don't fall asleep during this snoozefest. 

[chick binewski]

The new Cran-Blackberry flavor isn't too bad a mixer if you cut it with club soda.

I'm afraid that's all the constructive criticism I'll have to offer tonight as the attempt to humanize Negan last week pissed me the hell off.

[Gobi]

Tonight,  on Palindrome Theatre, "Dine on no Enid".

[CletusMusashi]

I'm sucking down a bunch of wine right now. Because I buy those huge cheapass bottles of Fairbanks Port to cook with.

And because a few hours of beer has not sufficiently prepared me for more of this....

 You'll feed them? Feed yourself, too, Maggie.

[chick binewski]

Eyeballs open. Excellent strategy.

[MrsRafaelBarba]

They're looking for Gabriel and Doc Carson.

[nodorothyparker]

So this is what Rick and crew's management of Alexandria haven't managed to kill off yet, huh?

[raven]

A zombie!  Run!

[candall]

I was checking my DVR for a good lazy Sunday afternoon movie.  Uh-oh, there's last week's TWD!  (Sorry, Joseph Cotton, Teresa Wright and Alfred Hitchcock.) 

Whew, good thing I caught up.

hahahahahahahahahahahaha

Maybe that blue paint will be a recurring theme.

[raven]

oh hee hee Fr Gabriel and the doctor are lost.  I don't remember them getting away from the savior place, but whatever.

[chick binewski]

Maybe read the map for FPP. doc? 

[MrsRafaelBarba]

Not. The. Time. Or. Place. Tara.

 

 

What if Dwight shoved that walker away?

 

Could've went for Tobin and Judith again.

I read "Ben Carson" and became confused.

[SoSueMe]

Doc looks a little like Chuck Norris 30 years ago.

[nodorothyparker]

How big is this area that they're all trekking around in that they're "dangerously lost?"  It might have been nice had the show ever bothered to establish some geography for oh, any of this.

She’ll fade um, but she won’t mistrate um.

[Gobi]

I don't know about FPP and Doc Carson, but this show is on the wrong path.

[Straycat80]

Let FPP drive, that should be interesting.

It's been Blair Witch geography ever since they got to Alexandria.

That walker is really hungry.

 

I like Doc Carson, but worry about his fate.

 

Since Siddiq has joined the crew.

[CletusMusashi]

Oh, map schmap. Just wander around aimlessly and you'll be right back in Atlanta.

Yeah, just how far have they gotten from Georgia in all these years?

After Atlanta I've never had a damn clue how these people are getting around. Did they manage to completely skip the Carolinas?

The first episode I ever saw! 

[MrsRafaelBarba]

C'mon now, find a car and get moving guys.

[Armchair Critic]

The blind leading the blind? Is FPP a goner this episode? I enjoyed the actor in The Wire but he never did much for me in this role.

You are killing me with these MST taunts.  That's not a Directv thing.

[raven]

Aw, I feel for ya, Gabriel, squinting away, except without glasses I'd be walking into trees.

[EllenC]

glad to see old Scott is still around.

Even Ezekiel manged to completely skip the Carol's.. .'ina. Why do you think she's so grumpy?

[nodorothyparker]

Isn't it funny how these trees look exactly like the trees we spent like five years circling in Georgia?  Say, that is funny.

Shut up, Tara.

[EllenC]

Even though Tara has a point, she really grates my nerves.
