No, the woman leader (who shot Rick) didn't die.  Another, rats!

The Garbage Pail Kids turning on Rick was somewhat predictable, but a good episode overall.

I was sure Sasha was going to kill herself, but for some reason i expected them to see her slumped over body in there.  The realisation that she'd obvious turn just escaped me.

Sasha had the baggie with her in the casket...but Eugene is on very thin ice.

@SZonian

If she put it in a pocket, no one will find it on her walker corpse.  But if she just dropped it in there...

Whatever happens to Eugene will be deserved.  He said pretty much the same about our group tonight, so no mercy. The

That's something to look forward to for next season.  She needs to die.

Watching Talking Dead.  Sonequa is beautiful; love her dress and her earrings.  Jeffrey Dean Morgan looks terrible.  Reedus looks good, as always.

So did Dwight really turn against Negan?

Yes, she is beautiful.  Negan needs to die.  I don't even like the real man because he is so evil in that show.  He enjoys it too much.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan looked much better physically in Watchmen.  He's far too skinny now to really play a physically imposing guy.

They found it, just didn't approach it...they saw it from the freeway where they took the dynamite from...the Sanctuary's booby trap/walker eraser.

They wanted to fight Negan on their turf, not his.

Yeah, but as you saw.... that plan didn't go so well as they slunk away and escaped back to their respective ratholes.  This... means....war.  Unleash the dogs (and tiger) and let the real hell begin.

I hate to admit it, but you're not alone.

Same here.  Hate his guts.  Loved seeing Rick get in his face.

Rick and the Alexandrians placed way too much trust in the Garbage Pail kids...knew next to nothing about them, assumed that they would be against the Saviors, gave them dozens of weapons and then turned their backs on them when they were ready for the showdown...STUPID, STUPID, STUPID.  Otherwise, the plan might have worked to some extent.  They wouldn't have had the truck bomb sabotaged, wouldn't have been stopped from engaging Negan and crew.  Dwight was obviously unaware of the plan because he did what he said he'd do, slow them down by dropping trees.

The ominous signs and comments from Garbage Pail kids were all over the place before Negan showed up...I would have placed their people in positions where my people could watch them and prevent them getting the drop on all of my people simultaneously.

Serious lack of situational awareness and leadership on Rick's part.  He got a lot of people killed and injured because he didn't seriously consider the consequences of letting dozens of strangers into the compound.

I think so.  He cut the trees down like he said he'd do and left the wood figure with the "Didn't know" on it.

His wife is "free" of Negan, so he has no need to continue on with the charade of being "Negan".  I'm not sure he's really that bad of a character as they try to make him out to be.

Granted, he did put the arrow into Denise, but was aiming for Darryl, so there is that.

But look at the left side of his face, that his wife was taken by Negan, etc.  I think there's more to him.

@SZonian

Okay, because I wasn't sure what to make of those looks that were passing between Dwight and the group after Negan showed up.

I don't like the guy, but I know they're going for a redemption arc for him, and this show manipulates my emotions so well that I'm sure my opinion will change, lol.

I agree.  Rick went from not trusting 'anyone' on the outside .... to way too trusting of anyone he wanted to convince to join their cause.  There has to be a happy medium of caution in their somewhere.

It does remain to be seen.  You're right, this show has no problem leaving people's emotions twisting in the wind.   :laugh:

I remember hating Abraham and Rosita when they showed up.  They were just so comic-book to me, and they were intruding on my group, and I didn't want them there.  I came to love them, though, and it will probably be the same with Dwight.

I don't know, maybe love is too strong a word, lol.

@CatherineofAragon

If you think about not only Abraham and Rosita, but many of the others, lots of reasons to be skeptical or cautious.  But in the end, many have "redeemed" themselves when placed in a civil situation/environment unlike the Saviors.  Many of the Governor's people were manipulated by him, but a few would have fit in with Negan's crowd just fine.

Granted Alexandria is Ricks strong point and a good place to attack from, he should have set the ambush with Jayda's group outside the wall.

Crazy thing is that the kingdom comes to the rescue with a bunch of people who never wanted to fight in the first place.

Honestly I wish Merle was still around. Not as a member of the group but as someone who drifts around from group to group on his own always showing up to protect Darrel. I think he would have killed Neegan himself.

He'd have made a valiant but flawed attempt.  If he couldn't kill the Governor, he's not going to get the even more dangerous and well-guarded Negan.

The problem I see going forward is that our group has three areas to defend.  They can be divided, unless they decided to give up the Hilltop and consolidate in Alexandria, at least for the time being.  The Garbage kids have a well fortified junkyard they control, with the equivalent of armored vehicles (trash trucks).  Sanctuary is well fortified as well.  Saviors have numbers and will likely do a divide and conquer...well, they'll attempt that at least.

Wonder if the women's group will ever come around, especially since they clearly aren't getting their guns back now.

Rick's group needs more soldiers AND more guns.  Hell, I'd be checking maps for military bases and trying to scavenge guns and other weapons.  I would light that damned junkyard up, if you get my meaning, for their betrayal.   Then I'd go after Negan.
