The Walking Dead

[Coffeecakes]

If anything I am upset that Troy wasn't killed harshly enough. I wanted Daniel to fuck him up like Travis did to the guys who killed his son. Nick can go too, bitching and whining about psycho ass Troy. His own brother was going to put him down and he is appalled that Madison did it? He needs to shut his crackheaded ass up.

All the Clarks can go except Alicia. Daniel and Taka need to stay. Was sad to see Lola go, but she went out like a champ. Strand can stay even though he betrayed them. But they deserved after all he has done for them and still they would mouth off or be disrespectful like Daniel was when they first reunited.

I'd like to see Madison and Nick go. Alicia I could see the show revolving around. I think Strand, Daniel and Taka are great as well. I'm curious to see what happens next year.

Negan was right there. He was right there!!!

Fun episode mostly, even with that swiss watch choreography, but having Father Wimp be the new hostage is not as thrilling as, say, more popular characters?

I have no idea what to think of Future Weird Al Time, except to note that Rick still has time to shave his chest in the zombie apocalypse.

[DaisyNukem]

I found that episode underwhelming. I think I'm getting jaded with this show because all I could think was that if they defeat Negan, who is the next villain to come along? And how can he/she be worse than Negan? I'm also tired of Rick getting all the praise. Maggie is doing just as much as he is, but IMHO her job is much harder. She's in a new place with people who don't know her. Rick is leading the same gang he's been leading since the beginning.

I know, right? I get that they have a storyline to follow so they can't let it be that easy, but it still looks ridiculous that the same people who can land a shot between the eyes of a walker with a handgun at a thousand yards can't take out Negan from 100 feet away with automatic weapons.

Where the heck did Tara get a Twizzler and why did it take her so long to eat it?

Why was Darryl blowing everything up in his path? I mean, it was awesome watching him riding his bike blowing sh*t up... but why? Unless what he was blowing up was stuff that belonged to Negan, I didn't get the point.

I now know why they killed Abraham off last season. There's no way Abraham would have found himself with a loaded weapon in his hands and Negan in his sight and not have Negan dead before he could even open his mouth. Leave it to Rick to spend his moment talking instead of shooting. SIGH. Don't worry, though y'all. I'm close to pulling a reverse Samara and climbing into the TV to kill Negan myself. JDM is great, but Negan has plucked my last nerve.

I'd also like to take out Gregory. What a worthless waste of oxygen. Gregory is now filling the role that once belonged to Father Gabriel as being the most useless and harmful 'good' guy on the block. Father Gabriel, for his part, has now transitioned into the role of The Walking Dead's Kim Baur. I'd love it if he'd just do what everybody else has needed to do and kill Negan already... but I won't be holding my breath.

Coral left starving guy two cans of food and no can opener. Oh Coooraaal!

JDM is incredibly hot and I'd miss seeing him, but Negan as a character isn't working for me. Also, they give him some of the dumbest writing ever. "I hope you have your shittin' pants on...because you're about to shit your pants" sounds like a parody of an actual line. And it's hard to find a person menacing when they're saying stupid shit like that.

Ha, I noticed that too. I found myself checking the tops to see if they were the pull tab kind...they were not.

Still not sure what the point of the starving guy was, I'm guessing a future plot point but it didn't make sense in this one.

Why was Darryl blowing everything up in his path? I mean, it was awesome watching him riding his bike blowing sh*t up... but why? Unless what he was blowing up was stuff that belonged to Negan, I didn't get the point.

Maybe just an excuse to film Norman Reedus riding around his bike as a tie-in to the Riding with Norman Reedus show (or whatever it's called) show?

Or maybe the fires were supposed to draw the walkers? I'm not sure.

I'm also not clear on where the rest of the Saviors were. Aren't there like a ton of people within that community? Did they not notice all the gunfire?

Maggie's line about waging war into the 2nd trimester was the only indication that she's still supposed to be pregnant. Judith appears to be getting older so time is marching on, yet Maggie's stomach hasn't grown an inch.

The explosions were to drive the walkers to the Sanctuary.

I am glad that Badass Carol is back and that Morgan isn't whining about not wanting to fight anymore. That shit was getting tired.

I will never be able to hear "Another One Rides the Bus" the same way again. When Weird Al recorded that in a men's bathroom 37 years ago, he probably never imagined it being used on a dumb show about a zombie apocalypse.

[GirlyGhoul]

Do Walkers usually walk towards fire and explosions? I would think that would drive them away. (Of course, I'm remembering old school Night of the Living Dead when Ben lit a chair on fire to chase the zombies back, not any particular incident on Walking Dead that would tell me how these zombies react to fire one way or the other)

Speaking of NotLD, the In Memorium card at the end to George Romero got me misty eyed. There was another name before his, but I didn't catch it without watching the end credits again.

Maggie's line about waging war into the 2nd trimester was the only indication that she's still supposed to be pregnant.

I've been thinking the same thing since last season. She's not showing at all. Are we still sure she is pregnant? One of the doctors no dead or captured maybe ought to give her a check up.

I'm not watching anymore (stopped right at the beginning of season 6 tbh), but I'm guessing Maggie goes through a typical TV pregnancy: no signs at all until all of a sudden she will look 13 months pregnant (only around her tummy area of course).

Everything I'm reading about the whole Negan thing sounds so exhausting. Also, one of the good things about FTWD is the small core cast (and even that isn't safe, as the latest season showed). I saw a poster for TWD's new season and thought that there are way too many main characters now. I remember the show struggling to follow a less bloated cast.
