Yeah, I'll echo most of the other comments.  This episode was pretty boring. Carl and his girlfriend are the worst.

The roller skating was exciting. 

 

[Mr. Mojo]

Good thing they just happened to stumble upon 2 pair of skates that fit them.

Jesus take the wheel of this show!

Exactly what I was thinking. What are the odds?

 

[The Big Guy]

It is weird not being a comic reader and still knowing various comic spoilers that are thrown around all of the places where people talk TWD.  I can't wait to see how they handle Sk8erboi at the Negan compound.

Jesus busting out the karate was pretty fun(ny).

 

[El Floppo]

Jesus busting out the karate was pretty fun(ny).

like something out of a boogie nights in-film dirk diggler tv show.

with Jesus's flying sidekicks and the fire in the background, I felt like we needed some 80's action music in the background.

Read something online which I thought was interesting - if you watch the grave scene with Maggie and Sasha both women have their hands over their bellies. This is the second time there's been a potential foreshadowing of Sasha possibly being pregnant. First was during Rick's dinner party dream scene.

Come to think of it, Jean Claude Van Damme isn't doing anything, right?  Let's get him in there!

Missed that.  Of course, that was also the scene where I couldn't take my eyes off of Maggie's butt in those jeans.

it would be like tom petty's cameo in the postman- except with more face-kicking.

Maggie and Rosita must never die.

For entirely character developmental reasons of course.

rosita has more than just that, she's a 5 star recruit

 

[packersfan]

rosita has more than just that, she's a 5 star recruit

I can appreciate Abe wanting to get some Jungle Fever on the side but dumping Rosita completely? That's just crazy time.  

 

[(HULK)]

I will keep watching this show because I love zombie stuff... but it really is disappointing me lately.

 

[Nathan R. Jessep]

I actually liked this episode better than last week's. Have I jumped the shark?  

 

[packersfan]

I thought it was really good too but I enjoy the set-up episodes quite a bit. If you give me an episodes with characters I give a chit about I'm pretty easy to please. This episode did that. An episode devoted to Dwight and him out on a road trip? Well that's gonna have me yawning and checking the clock most of the night. I don't care how big of a deal he is in the comics. 

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Enough with the pregnancy angle for main characters already.  Get some of those red shirts pregnant instead.

 

[tonydead]

Wow Maggie taking ever Hilltop happened a lot sooner than I thought. They are really rushing this thing, Season 8 must really be the end. 

Oh and : 

 at missing a zombie yet hitting a deer in the gugular. 

at roller skates.  

 

[tonydead]

I enjoyed the episode. 

 

[tonydead]

. Maggie seems destined to become the leader of Alexandria 

 

[tonydead]

didn't even put much thought into it.. could have been the family loaded a car with everything they could grab and two kids grabbed their skates. Kids tend to do dumb things( aka I'll walk to Hilltop by myself with no weapons, whatever could go wrong). Of all things to question about in this episode, this wasn't even on my radar.

 

[tonydead]

Do you have any idea how much noise a pair of roller skates makes on blacktop?  

 

[snogger]

Writers missed a opportunity there.. could have had a zombie  family on skates wondering around... Zombie Roller Derby

No matter how good-looking she is, someone is tired of her ####.

 

[FUBAR]

It was a drawn out set up episode to show both how weak Gregory is and have Carl sneak off to the Saviors headquarters. It was a snooze fest, no doubt.

That, and to remind us that Jesus saves.

 

[mr roboto]

So bad. Least interesting character ever. 

 

[Mario Kart]

Most edge of seat intense episode. Geez! Can't imagine. 

 

[snogger]

So bad. Least interesting character ever. 

Well. looks like I deleted my post rather then edit it.. basically said that we should have known this was going to be a story building episode since the previews for this week only said "coming in the next weeks"..

Saying that . .. Tara getting more info on how the Saviors can be even more brutal then they thought should help get the 3 main groups together. 

 

[mr roboto]

Why can't they spread things out a bit more evenly?  There's like 2-3 episodes each season that are great, full of action. Then the rest ####### suck. 

 

[James Daulton]

I'm a bit behind in the episode, where are all the dudes?  I would have a field day in that coastal Aphrodite compound. 

 

[James Daulton]

Ah, I see the reason for no dudes.  You'd think they'd be out recruiting them for heavy lifting and sex and stuff. 

 

[zoonation]

What a riveting hour of television!

that was the worst episode in the entire series. 

 

[shadyridr]

Hey I wish they had a Tara centric episode said no one ever

 

[MikeIke]

Horrible episode . 

 

[tommyboy]

Barffffffffff

 

[mozzy84]

No one can defend that episode. Total waste of time. 

 

[Jules Winnfield]

Dog#### episode

I would rather get eaten by a walker than have to watch that girl act. She sucked

 

[skol asylum]

Well I guess that's one way to get rid of Heath. Time for him to be the new Jack Bauer soon.

 

[Shrugs]

When they showed Tara lying in the beach, I didn't even remember who she was.

 

[shadyridr]

Agreed with above that that may have been worst episode of series.

 

[RenegadeGM]

I understand the need to build storylines, but an entire episode of Tara???

Two episodes until the midseason finale.  Better be a payoff soon.

 

[bigbottom]

I think the purpose of last night's episode was to make the other sub-par episodes of this season look fantastic by comparison. 

 

[TLEF316]

Yeah, just a brutal way to end a long weekend. An hour of Tara? LOL

 

[El Floppo]

I thought it was great. We needed an episode to show the viewer, via a couple sentence anecdote, that the saviors are really mean. Like, really really really mean. Also to show that zombies have gotten really bad at their jobs. Nailed it on both counts.

 

[pantherclub]

What a riveting hour of television!

that was the worst episode in the entire series. 

I thought last weeks took the prize but this was a snoozefest. 

One thing that kindof bugs me, they mentioned it had been a little over 2 years since everything started but Tara (and others) are still fat.

 

[snogger]

so.. seeing as @packersfan disliked the Dwight/Daryl episode due to no interest in Dwight, he must have been on a major last night....

70 minute episode to find out the Saviors kill to take control ... I think we figured that out a few episodes before but maybe some missed it..
The only item that could come back to "help" later is...

Natania tells Tara she and her people fled from the Saviors with nothing but the clothes on their backs. So how and where did they get that big cache of guns? 

 

[Jayrok]

Tara can not carry a whole episode, obviously.  She's just not a good actress.  That was so boring.  And she is so not funny.  

If the Saviors lined up their men and shot them, why would they leave that arsenal of weapons to the women?  The producers took great care in showing the viewer that they had a large amount of weapons and ammo.  I suppose those weapons will end up helping our gang at Alexandria.  

But seems pretty stupid for Negan to leave them that heavily armed.. or armed at all.

Well, they ran from wherever they use to be to their new hiding place... My guess.. They stole them from an outpost..

But as I posted just above you, it is a question, and probably the only thing worth discussing, about the whole 70 minute episode.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Here's an hour long episode featuring 2 characters you completely forgot existed

There were 2 things I liked about it though
