I'm probably in the minority in that I liked the episode, but the LOVE OF ALL ZOMBIES....STOP having arguments in wide open areas vulnerable to ambush. It is getting so tiring to see the conversations happen when you know someone is going to pop up on them.

Especially if one person is your only doctor.

I thought this season as a whole has been fanstastic, but last night's episode was a total snoozer. A bunch of whining "I'm good enough to kill zombies, I'm not weak, blah blah" SPLAT!

Really, no casual time outside the walls. Your head should be on a swivel checking things out all of the time!

Agreed. wtf. The entire Abe/Eugene argument seemed so contrived. Quit acting like little ******* to each other. And then we get it in spades when Denise feels the need to go stupid and then freak out. And why was Darryl being such an *** to Rosita? Dialogue was awful last night. And now Carol goes rogue.

The stupidity from some that should know better is getting unbelievable.

So are we to assume that even after getting ambushed (again), someone went back out just to retrieve Denise's body for burial?

Morgan is a meddlesome and annoying character. And we were all anticipating his return to the show. Do not like him being all Shaolin monk.

The Carol thing is incredibly forced. She went from a kill or be killed mentality to not wanting to kill at all. There was no big life changing event that would have made her change her mind. She just completely changed her mindset out of the blue. Its like the writers decided they needed to change her to keep her interesting with no reason at all for making the change.

This. We are required by the absurdity of zombie walkers to suspend disbelief (which is cool, this is fantasy scifi stuff here) but when the characters make the same mistakes again and again and again and never learn it gets a little stupid. Someone captures them or gets the drop on them every couple of weeks.

And does every single character on the show have to go through episodes of losing their way, losing their ****, losing their humanity, losing their nerve, getting into the grill of their closest companions and generally being in constant inner turmoil? Glen and Maggie maybe the only normal people?

You guys are silly. 99% of the time, they are alone and don't encounter any issues or people so acting super paranoid the whole time would be a huge waste of time. The show is like the cliff notes skipping to enormous amount of nothing that goes on between moments. She did act dumb but to expect an ambush in the middle of nowhere is equally crazy.

Did you see the last couple episodes before this one? That would be pretty life changing I would think.

yeah, thats a story that should have been either been cut out or they should have spent more time with it. The way they chose to do it makes no sense. I could understand killing people in their sleep would be a traumatic experience for someone but she A)killed innocent people while at the prison "for the good of the group" and B)didn't actually take part in that attack.

So how did Deight get the burns on his face? Punishment for something he did or did not do for Neegan?

Wondering when someone would comment on that ;-)
You will find out soon enough. They dropped Easter eggs on this when the Darryl was hiding from Negans men

Agreed, weakest episode of the new season.

Question: where are Heath & Tara? Were we not supposed to notice they weren't in this episode?

Out foraging still. Also when this was being filmed the actress was really pregnant. Covered it up wearing baggy hoodie early in the season.
