Based on what we know from previous storylines involving A) infected pigs at the prison and B) Termites eating Bob's "tainted meat", I fail to see any value whatsoever to having the pigs fill their bellies "with rot".

Do they not know after all this time that everyone is infected already anyway? Even those dopes on FTWD figured that out in a few episodes.

Were they just hoping to give the Saviors a stomach ache? Bad gas?

Does a tiger really eat as much as ten men? Yikes.

I think feeding the dead to hogs was both out of spite and to get their weight up, so the Saviors would be satisfied. Why waste other feed on them?

i like eziekel but it was tiring hearing him talking like king author, I mean really it needs to be toned down. I get why he's doing it, but still it seems like everyone would see through that and that no one talks like that.

carol, her choice in residence is iffy, the house looks like its right off some sort of main road and will see the lights on from a ways. anyone taking that road is going right in there.

I don't know if feeding the hogs undead has an impact, but the guy was totally doing it out of spite.  You might not die from eating mud or bugs or **** either, but you certainly wouldn't touch food if you knew that was in there.  At best, it might make them sick and at worst you can feel some little pinch of vengeance against these douche bags. 

The King's gig was over the top, but I thought it was pretty entertaining.  Why not set up some crazy fairy tale?  Dude has a pet tiger - I think he's allowed to be a bit eccentric.  He explains that he was a theater groupie moonlighting at the zoo, so it's not odd to me that an actor would get overly into character.  I was impressed that he saw through Carol so quickly and found a way to still keep her around.  I'm curious to find out the connection to the boy he wants Morgan to train as well.

I checked google out of curiosity.  An average human eats about 5 pounds per day.  A tiger might eat as much as 100 pounds in a day (!), but then lives off that meal, fasting for several days.  5-10 times as much as a human is probably more accurate, though I doubt humans in TWD eat as much as we do given scarce resources and that Tiger did not appear to be starving.  My understanding is that keeping large animals well fed is a pretty good deterrent to them wanting to eat people.

The boy Morgan's tutoring, I didn't make the connection at the time, but somebody elsewhere speculated that his father and the others who died "clearing a building full of dead" were actually killed by Negan/the Saviors. They were their "Abraham and Glen". Ezekiel covered it up for the same reasons he's covered up the food extortion. Thus,  he watches out for the boy out of guilt.

As predicted...not getting back to Alexandria until next week.

Egg sandwich vs dog food sandwich? I'd have to think about it.

Daryl's on easy street, what's his problem?

If you fled Negan, WHY WOULD YOU STICK TO PAVED ROADS? Or any open area? That whole sequence was odd. They seemed to now where the guy was, or why else send just one man after him?

Do we need the Fear the Walking Dead minisodes? So they intro a character who will appear in two episodes next spring? Yay.

Daryl needs to trim his bangs.  That's getting beyond annoying.

I'd take the dog food over anything with egg and pickles in it. blecch

The hubris of Hollywood writers, sheesh...you guys failed miserably at trying to make that asshat scumbag Dwight "sympathetic". Give me a break. Do they really expect everyone to forget how he murdered Denise in cold blood FOR NO REASON just a few episodes back? But I'm supposed to feel sorry for this redneck POS because Negan is boning his wife? (Who is not "super hot" BTW, Rosita crushes anyone in that group by a mile)  Give ma an fing break.

This stupid, ugly idiot is no more blameless than those pathetic losers in WWII who were "just following orders". He put himself in that situation plain and simple. He could have just as easily gone back to Alexandria last season with Daryl, told them all about the Saviors, and then he, his wife, Glenn and Abraham would all still be alive and well today because at least they would have had an inkling of what they were getting into. But he had to act like a scared puppy and go slinking back to Negan.

Kinda surpised that a show that just depicted two people getting their heads bashed in with a baseball bat would shy away from showing a dude getting his face burned off with an iron, but that is a flashback I would VERY much like to have seen.

I hate Dwight. I hate him worse than Negan. And I dearly hope they have the balls to kill him off instead of trying to cornhole him into some lame ass, unconvincing redemption story. Probably not, but one can hope.

My guess is that you'll get both.  He'll be redeemed and then get killed.

I am a comic book Dwight fan and hope they follow that arc for him.

That being said I agree that tv show Dwight really doesn't seem like anything more than a douche

When they took to him to that exam room, my first thought was "oh, they are gonna cut his hair!"

Yeah I've seen that too, Tracy...  I've seen it in the NE too in older more rural areas.
