Good 2nd half episode to start the rest of the season.
rumors are that the season finale is going to be insane and incredibly sad.

Producers said they show will more closely follow the comic than in the past. So the finale will probably involve a baseball bat.
The question is who is on the recieving end?do they follow the comics or find someone else to take the fall. With Jessie gone now I still wonder if the producers would actually break up the only love story on the whole show?
The story isn't finished. the Comic hasn't ended.
Look for this show to have a "MASH" type of run. It's the most popular show in the world. It's not going away any time soon.
the "only" love story? Ummm...hello.......Maggie and Glenn have been happening for multiple seasons.
Glenn has been too lucky lately, I could see him going as he does in the comic. However, Steven Yuen has signed a new contract with the show.....so who knows. Maybe Carol goes.
I know this...something HUGE is happening for the finale........Multiple actors from the set were interviewed about the finale, and some said that on the last day of shooting, they didn't want to go to the set after reading the script. This points to a long time member meeting their demise. Last day of shooting was very emotional for all involved.
Not sure if you understand my post. Basically I was saying that if negan kills Glenn like the comics that there is no other romance in the show. Although that may not be a big factor to some I am sure they gather a ton of female audience with any kind of love story.
I can see Daryl or Abraham substituted for Glenn. Although Glenn has had WAY too many close calls in the last couple of seasons. How many lives does this dude have?
On one hand I think you could definitely throw Abe in it would have a similar effect but could you imagine the effect it would have if they followed the comics?
I won't be watching it until I get back from vacation. Is Glenn dead this week? It seems to vary from episode to episode.
Liked the episode, but the fact it was afternoon as they began walking out with guts on them only to cut back to them and it was dark and they were still walking through the neighborhood made no sense.
I also sense that they will stay there and rebuild/expand Alexandria. I would leave. The place is a mess, theyou know the Wolves know where they are at and also know some bad ass named Negan is out there.

All I am sure of is it's going to be a long 6 months, after this season's finale, waiting until next season with the fallout and how the characters handle Negan. It will also be interesting to see how AMC turns an absolute R rated character into PG - 13. I hope they push the envelope as much as possible with Negan.
Really didn't care for this episode. First, Daryl takes out the biker gang out with the rocket launcher right before he kills someone. Glen get saved at the last second before he gets eaten. Then Rick goes crazy and starts killing all the walkers in their city. There were some good parts of the episode but there were few parts that bothered me.
Good episode but some odd things like the daytime to nighttime thing you pointed out. Also, Gabriel takes the baby to the church, but it's a different church than Glenn and Enid hide in? They have multiple churches?
As for staying, they may have killed off the wolves and they may think they killed most of Negan's men. I wonder whether the pond was the town's water source though. I sure as he'll wouldn't want to try to clean that mess up.
Iv thought this as well. Daryl is definitely Ricks #2 as where in the comics its Glenn and then Abe. I think that is what really makes Glenn and Abe possible victims. I just don't know if they could slide Abe into the Daryl role that easily. The female fan base loves them some Daryl and that is the demographic that takes this show from fan boy love fest to mainstream blockbuster.
Daryl causes a lot of problems for the script writers, especially if they want to follow the comics a lot closer. He's pretty much the reason Tyreese was written off the show. I wouldn't be surprised if Daryl just leaves. Have him head west and end up meeting up with the Fear the Walking Dead group. They did say that show would catch up to the original series.
Didn't he set up a 'church' in a random house earlier this season? I think he started setting it up in the garage maybe? I assumed that's where they were. I could be completely wrong though.
That was my thought. The show swings back and forth from being able to fairly easily kill walkers (Rick and others doing so without losses in the midst of them) and being completely afraid to go anywhere near them without dying (meat coats, bazooka).
The group is in hand/hand combat, but three of the toughest/trained shoot that at the lake?
I get that the show can't have them shrug off killing walkers as no big deal, but they've drawn themselves in to a corner where it is only worrisome when there is a hoarde, any less and they can apparently walk right past them. That being said, the show has always been about human, non-zombie dangers like Negan, wolves, infighting, etc.
Alexandria has existed since the beginning of the ZA but now all of the sudden Negan is going to discover this place? How? His henchman were blown to bits so there is nobody to tell him who did it and where they went. Suppose they could be tracking Darryl, etc. since they first made contact with people from that group and had shot them up.
Easiest solution is to have one person left alive, although they wouldn't know where they went either. But they are ranging in the same areas, not unrealistic that they would run in to each other again. One of the Alexandria idiots out wandering around, or searching for new members, gets nabbed and tortured.
I've never read the comics, but I could also see them split the storyline, introduce Negan and his group entirely separate from Alexandria, and then climax them together somehow later on.
As any good repetitious show, they cleared out last season's impending, never-ending doom in the very first episode. Now we get to see them rebuild their "village" once again, only to have it lead up to impending doom again, this time with a name we already know.
Can't kill Rick......the show is HIS story. Carol won't go....at least not for a while.
Daryl could go.....Norman Reedus is wanted for a lot of film projects in Hollywood. But actors have been known to do other work, while starring on a popular show.
Negan hasn't "discovered" it yet. But he does. Like most survivors, he is not from that area and recently migrated into the region looking for places to stay. Remember, Rick and his group have travelled over 1000 miles to get to Alexandria. So other groups are on the move as well.
The group that Daryl killed, were out scouting for things to take. Like everyone else, they have no communication devices to let their people know what they've found.......No one is tracking anybody.
They writers also said that the characters from each show would never cross paths.
Don't be surprised that Daryl gets his head taken off by Lucille/Negan........instead of Glenn. Rumor is, that Reedus has not signed a new contract for the show and season 7.
I believe the Wolves were a small group and that with the death of the last wolf...they are all gone now. Several were killed during the siege on the Alexandria. Rick killed another 4-5 while he was in the RV, and then you have the one that was killed this week. There is no indication that any of them are left.
Reedus really is not a good actor, and this show has hidden his limitations well within the character. IMO he would be foolish to move on willingly. There is a reason he went 11 years between Boondock Saints and Walking Dead.
But Rick and Co don't know that. I also find it odd that Darryl didn't mention the group he tried to help and the others who chased him down... or perhaps that will come out next episode. Seems like if you have all of this hostile action in the area you'd probably move on after your sanctuary was overrun by zombies.
I also wonder if they don't jump ahead 6-months into the future to show Alexandria rebuilt and the people settled back into a normal life again in the next episode of two. But, what will the episodes be about if Negan doesn't come into play until the final episode of the season? I have to wonder why they would sit tight with dwindling numbers knowing all of this hostility is nearby.
I don't read the comics, but some of this stuff seems off.
But he didn't go 11 years without working. He's worked solidly since Boondock came out.
we don't know if Rick has had the conversation with Abraham, Daryl, and Sasha....I would assume that conversation is coming in the next episode or two. The show doesn't really make large jumps in time in one shot. They numbers are not dwindling so much as to now everyone in Alexandria seems to be on the same page, and know they have to fight to survive. Also, new friendly characters are on the way, and a new place to stay is also on the way.
The Sanctuary is mainly in tact. only one wall was compromised, and that is where the church steeple fell. Easy fix.
Also the hostility is new found hostility. And there is no sign yet of how big Negan's group is. Even with the Governor, his group of fighters was relatively small compared to how many people actually lived n Woodbury.
Yes, on garbage. Like Boondock Saints 2.
According to IMDB:
He was in Charmed for a couple of episodes, Law and Order, various other TV shows
"Detective in Morgue" in American Gangster
many of his roles have one name, like "Marco" or "Archie"
He was recently in "The Pawn Shop Chronicles" and "Sunlight Jr."
He was the trucker (credited as "Trucker") in the new Vacation movie, and I presume he got that solely because of TWD.
Simply put, he may have stayed busy, but not in good works.
Disagree, no way I move on from Alexandria. That was a well-built, self-sustaining home that reminds one of home. Sure it needed to be re-inforced, but it took a bunch of things converging at once to lead to the mayhem they just survived. The zombies piling up at the quarry, the team out at the quarry just when the bus (?) fell and let them out, the wolves attacking at that same time, the horn of the truck blaring to attract the zombies, all of the right people being gone from Alexandria when that happened, the wall eventually falling down, etc.
If one of those things happen they weather it easy, even a couple and they are good, it took a cluster**** to bring it down on them and they still largely survived. Now all of the residents are on board with protecting themselves and working together, perfect time to rebuild on that spot.
Also, they can't really assume that any of the past events will lead to future worse events. Sure, worse events might take place, but independent of anything that has happened so far. It isn't like they've now created a giant spotlight on themselves (although maybe they have with that fire).
Hell, I guess maybe that is how Negan finds them, a giant lake of fire spewing smoke.
