How in the world is Negan going to escape from being surrounded by so many walkers??? You see a dumpster in that scene?

I think what they were trying to do in that episode, was overlay Rick's dream sequence with the scenes of him standing over the two graves with no explanation. Guessing Carl and/or Michonne is in those graves.
Decent idea with the flash forward to a dream of a further flash forward, but again I thought it was poorly executed.

Got a chuckle on that too, but figured that's just how the show rolls so go with it.

yeah- at this point, whatever. at least it got the action going quicker. like how they selectively have people take a split second to turn into zombies after dying.
Supposedly a scene from the near future; shortly after this latest confrontation with Negan. New character being introduced from the comics: Siddiq. [\spoiler]
Why throw it in there with this episode where it confused itself with the other flash forwards I have no idea. Could have just as easily been done at the beginning of the next episode.

Killed the lookouts so they couldn't radio ahead that the whole squad was rolling in.
Detonated the explosives to keep the herd moving towards the Sanctuary. Darryl shoots the one ahead of him before turning left, away from the Sanctuary....to keep the herd moving that way and not following him.
All seemed pretty obvious to me.

all obvious. but not my question.Killed the lookouts so they couldn't radio ahead that the whole squad was rolling in.

who set those explosives in place for darryl to shoot at? if negan- why? if rick- nice detonation process... hitting them with a bullet from a racing motorcycle (as pointed out- racing ahead of a motorcycle speed zombie herd).

Considering they were blowing #### up all over the place and that they were strategically placed en route to the Sanctuary, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say it was Rick that had them set up.
As for the zombie herd being "motorcycle speed".....I didn't get that. Darryl slows down for them to "catch up", speeds off and shoots an explosive. Rinse, repeat.

Which scene is from the future?
Why didnt the preacher shoot negan?
Ricks "war plan" was incredibly stupid. Hey lets all bunch up at the front door.

I think the writers were going for a The Leftovers vibe to it.

The throwback to the gas station meeting the new character was happening while Rick and Carl were out setting up the explosives for Daryl to keep the herd moving towards the sanctuary.
Killing the outpost guards was probably as realistic as it could be. Imagine a random person standing a 12 hour shift on a deer stand watching absolutely nothing. You would not be at your greatest attention and pretty easy to kill too.
Rick has never been the master planner, so a weird plan makes sense from his character. Looked like they were trying to demonstrate to the garbage pail kids and potentially to a batch of the saviors that they are not invincible and their fortress is easily breached(Rick taking a Polaroid pic of the blown out building ala Negan's pics post Lucille). Now who could have predicted that Negan himself would step out onto the platform (not a single person has trashed him yet for that idiotic move) with all of his top Lieutenants to face off against the mobile armed group that just came firing at his doorstep.
Has anyone actually kept score on the kill numbers with Negan vs Rick? I think Rick's group is easily winning this by a score of approx 50-7 and 5 of the 7 were random red shirts anyway. Not bad for such a screw up like Rick.

Same here.jamny said:I haven't watched the show in a while but enjoy following along with this thread.
I feel like a recovering addict attending meetings to listen to the struggles of other addicts.

If Gabriel doesn't pump about an entire clip worth of rounds in to Negan, the show reaches new levels of BS. Which is obviously exactly what is going to happen.

Y'all are baggin on Rick but maybe Negan secretly has an army of vampires that Rick and crew just took out be shooting out the windows and turning them to dust with sunlight.
I mean, what other reason could there possibly be for wasting so much ammo to take out a few harmless windows.

Its a damn shame that we have to see interviews with the director and actors to figure out what is going on with this show. Why make it confusing? Its just a zombie show

You'd have to catch up on like six seasons of backlog right? No show is worth that.

That is what I was thinking and am pretty disappointed if I am right. I was digging the theory that it is in the future and Rick is looking back at Michonne and/or Coral or Judith's graves,

Oh, sorry, you were talking about FTWD. My bad. Same show, different name. So if you want more of what you are already watching, then sure.

I agree. You have to really really try hard to eff up a zombie show and they did that in spades.
Not sure why they had to get cute with the show but they did instead of making it a survival they made it a soap opera

I didn't think it was that confusing. They have shown Maggie, Sasha and Enid at those graves quite a bit. That setting has been used a dozen times. Only the camera angle was different.
El Floppo
Footballguy
Agree. But graves looked fresh. And the red eyed Rick implies shukes version... that's the only confusion.
snogger
Footballguy
The thing with "Red Eye" Rick is that it could be "Past Rick" visiting the graves before the War starts.. Or it is Between Present Rick and Future Rick..
But while watching I was 99% sure it that it is was Abraham and Glenn's graves.

the first two seasons were mostly terrible because the cast sucked. but through the miraculous process of natural selection, all the weakest characters have been murdered off to the point where this last season was actually pretty good.

this last season was god-awful... so bad, I was able to walk away without finishing. I guess I'm curious about what you liked in it... but also worried about being pulled back in to that crap-storm.
I mentioned in the other thread, but for me the premise of seeing how civilization reacts to, fails and becomes apocalyptic because of the zombies was the interesting part. they dealt with that inside the first half of the first season, IIRC. seeing people fight zombies and eachother in ways that were mirror images of the original, but done even worse... there's just no point. we already have one show that shows this stuff badly.

they got rid of the father who i thought was a character they completely bungled. In first season he snaps and murders a guy with his bare hands. If he had become that guy and stayed that guy throughout the show i would have liked him (shane- esq) but he was too soft. they got rid of the son, he was horrible. They kept the best characters, strand, madison, nick, alicia, daniel and then added 3 bad guys jeremiah, troy and walker. the last several episodes were good, the last one was very good. They also did one episode completely in spanish which was great.
I see the show on an upswing in terms of the story and characters.

I have to admit that scene recreation was pretty cool but every time I see an older episode I recall how much better the show used to be.

Same here. I had recorded something like 40 episodes. Then we switched providers, so I'll have to stream them I guess. Still not sure I can get into it. I don't like anyone in the show. The mom is mildly intriguing. The Samoan or whatever dad has all the acting range of a football. Young Johnny Depp is just a dirt bag and not doing anything to redeem himself IMO. The rich black guy was about the best character. And the chick that takes off and her little mini story after mini story was boring too.
