Am I the only one who wonders if Carl will have some brain damage from this?

I thought that at first, but on Talking Dead the director said the bullet hit the outside of his eye socket sending bone fragments into his eyeball & the bullet outward. So I'd guess no brain damage.

What. An. Episode!

My favorite moment might be when Eugene grows a pair and says something along the line of "People will talk of this moment..." and goes outside swinging. Great, great stuff.

People still hate Coral? He used to suck but he's been fine for a couple seasons now.

Yeah, I like Carl, he has turned into a good character.

Wow, that was a great episode. No lack of action to start the season. Intense. Nicely done.

Cool episode. The biker explosion at the beginning was BOSS. Are people upset that Glenn didn't die originally earlier this season? He sure is getting out of some "impossible" situations. Don't get me wrong, love the character.... but he should have been killed IMO.

Lots of deaths and action tonight.

Yes, that entire Glenn death fake-out last year was a mistake. The biggest one the show has ever made. Even before that, it was a little ridiculous how many impossible situations he gets out of. Then, they did it again last night. I think he is going soon - this season probably.

Tell me I wasn't the only one that saw the weird reflection in the window during the Carol/Morgan scene. I watched it three times and when Carol is looking outside the window her reflection gets blurry and it looks like she's a walker. It happens twice in the scene. Both at the start of it and when she turns back around after talking to Morgan. Maybe it was just me.

Can anyone confirm this or find a gif of it?

I noticed that too. Kept thinking, "they're trying to tell us something here." Foreshadowing perhaps.

And maybe it's just me, but did anyone else get a "they're jumping the shark" feeling when Rick waged war on the walkers and everyone went out to help? I was thinking, "oh come on, that many people go out to help slaughter walkers and they ALL survive?!" Any other episode, someone does something like that in a group of walkers a fraction of that size, and within seconds they have to retreat. And no guns? It was a bad --- scene, but a little far fetched IMO.

Still, great episode.

He did mess up by not taking out Ron a while ago when he had the chance. But he's going to be a bad *** cyclops.

His interactions with other teenagers aren't great, but I guess that is typical. I find him kind of boring when he seems to have been given Beth's babysitting role. So hoping pirate Carl is more interesting, and it isn't just a reason to make him babysit more.

Can't have damage if he doesn't have a brain in the first place.

I saw the 12:30 AM ET showing. I agree with the opinion from Talking Dead - this was the best episode in a long time - at least since they busted out of Terminus.

Wasn't realistic but it helped prove to Rick that these people are there for him and each other and together can accomplish anything.

Yeah, they did a good job handling the hoard, but they are going to get their butts kicked by the full force of the Wolves or Negans crew.

This. Carl went from annoying pissant of a character to just being a boring character. I don't hate on him now but he's just not involved in anything "interesting."

Morgan is the new Coral.

Hugely disappointing annoyance of a character.

Hate Morgan.

Die Morgan die!


I think hes coming around. This show is very character driven. Youre gonna get your wtf's with a lot of them as they really try to humanize everyone.

I just get tired of the people who get others killed because they are wussies or just plain stupid.

Change, or die.
