The Walking Dead

[Dave]

I actually enjoyed last night's episode quite a bit.  That Rick v/s Negan brawl was tight.  Flaming Lucille!

I wonder what happened to Lucille.  Burned up?  Left behind?  Picked up by trash lady?

[Matt_Fury]

Negan regained Lucille, I'm assuming she's in the backseat of the Jadismobile.

Overall a good episode last night.

[Rob]

Good episode for sure, but Rick needs to be 1000x smarter about his ammo.  Negan was a sitting duck.

[BillCable]

Way too many convenient things keeping Negan alive.  I hope there's a rational reason that the trash lady was waiting right outside the building ready to pick him up after he got away from Rick.

[Scockery]

Tobin the stealth zombie, more capable dead than alive.

"Hey, we were attacked last nite, so no sentries tonight!" (Just the guy in the med bay and the nurse or whatever she was).

At this point, 75% of either side has to be dead.

Using "germ warfare" sure indicates this undead thing is a contagion. But the bites turned people before, but they rationalized the rotting corpses were so full of germs, that killed the victim and then whatever made them undead. If getting shot with an arrow stuck in zombie guts an hour  or longer before can turn someone over night, but constant exposure to zombie gore never did before...(except Gabriel), then whatever, man, just whatever.

Not sure how LP lady and her pals snuck over and left a calling card.

Is Lauren Cohan leaving the show or what? Predict she is and dies giving birth or killing Negan along with herself.

[Jesse James]

Noticed both groups multiply like wet mogwai when numbers are needed.  Kinda like bullets.

[Scockery]

Is that why Tara is so big, she's about to bud off and create new cannon fodder?

I'm hoping the beachside folks show up with Aaron's head on a pike.

Maybe the best way to end the season is a reset with everyone dead on the rebel side but whatever's left of Rick's core group.  A few saviors survive and Eugene is the sole NEGAN, and becomes leader of the great North..er...Mid-atlantic? tribe?

I'm still trying to figure out who keeps refining all that gasoline two years into the apocalypse!

And I’m wondering why everyone has aged eight years in just two!

[Scockery]

Show is starting to drag.

Feels like they separated Negan from the Saviors twice now, just to kill time.

Jadis is mysterious....spoooky...black helicopters...Negan sums it up "what the sh-t?"

It's that kingdom kid plot line I got tired of 5 episodes ago.

I'm tired of Morgan, so why do I want him on the spin off that I abandoned?

Rick skips the part where he gets people on his side and then drags out their deaths, and instead just shoots them in the back immediately. It's nice that he's sped things up, show runners, take note!

Who did Negan pick-up?
- Aaron, we see what leads up to that next week.
- Xander Berkeley's character whose name I cannot remember.
- Susan! WHO?
- Ferris Bueller's principal
- The hitchhiker from that old HBO series.
- Zombie Eric

I'm thinking its Laura- the missing Savior woman that was with Dwight when he double crossed and shot them.

I do love how they have no problems finding working cars all over the place.  I'm sure after a few years the gas in cars would probably still be okay, but I would think most of the batteries would be dead.

[Jesse James]

Gas is ok if you’re using it.  Storing it it develops moisture and that screws with how cars run.  “Fresh gas” would be a major problem especially with modern gas which is even worse to the fuel system of vehicles today.  This is why your mower may run like hell or snowblower if they’ve sat a long time.  Moisture and stuff can make them run at the very least like poop. If not outright refuse to start.  Plus there can be varnish build up on injectors and things, fuel pumps can lock up, lots of sediment can get stirred up and clog the fuel system from them sitting s long time then suddenly getting steady use.

Diesels would be more forgiving, especially if you had someone handy to work on them and keep the fuel lines clean on those too.  Batteries would wind up becoming something of a problem because the ones in stores would sit without charging and batteries are dated and rotated kind of like milk.  It’s bad to let them completely discharge.  In the show though a car starts right up that’s been clearly sitting for a year or two and yeah no.  It’s at least gonna need jumped, and that’s at the very least.

Another issue and one I’ve seen they just skip over is modern cars aren’t quite as easy to steal as the show implies haha.  That’s like headshots while riding in a moving vehicle to me.  Just suspend disbelief.

Cars that sit though have tons of issues.  Cracking vacuum lines, dry rotting tires, tires losing air naturally, starters freezing up, oil breaking down (it does so over time)...  lotsa things about cars are just not really realistic on the show.  I’ve chosen to ignore it. 🤷‍♂️

[Jesse James]

Btw def Laura the missing savior cuz they need to wrap that up somehow before the season croaks.

Jadis and the heaple were annoying but she’s become less so without them. 

Tara can go any time now.  I hate her character.

[Scockery]

Why did I think Laura was named Susan?

I've had car batteries go dead sitting just after a month.

Also, they'd need some air compressors.

[Scockery]

Still mucking about until the finale.

Aaron desperately searches for a storyline as the season nears to a close.

Dwight made the wrong call, as Simon is a bigger screw up.  Then again, Simon might have killed Dwight outright if he believed Laura.

Michonne found Carl's letter and read each word out loud...killing Negan softly with her song....
