Yeah, all it takes is a split second distraction for Carl to turn into John Wick.
These points illustrate the way the writers work: let’s decide what we want to have happen—then we’ll make the characters as stupid/good with guns/inept with guns/whatever, needed to make what we want to happen, happen.
The events and incidents never come out of ‘what would this character actually do’ and ‘what skills have we established that these characters have,’ but instead, out of ‘what do we need them to do and to be in order to make our plot points occur.’
AKA bad writing.
(But some decent CGI, I will say–the tiger was more convincing, in this episode, than in some earlier episodes.)
Why did Rosita’s bomb fail?
I think Negan’s group disarmed them.
You made me think of this.
Yeah, pretty much.
That guy washes his hair, though.
Went back and rewatched that portion. Just after we see Rosita and Daryl working the bomb, we see cars being pulled in front of the gate. During that scene a trash dump woman is smoking a cigar and lingering near the bomb. I thought see got an inordinate amount if screen time for an extra…but I guess that’s why.
I’ve been avoiding the episodes (and these threads) until the Negan Problem is resolved, at which point I’ll binge to catch up.
I get the feeling you’ll need to wait until at least the end of next season to begin your viewing pleasure.
I’m patient. Like a zombie who’s been lying in a corridor for years until someone walks by.
Meantime, I’m enjoying Z Nation a lot more than I ever liked TWD.
He’s scared of Negan; how the hell is he supposed to explain him giving Sasha suicide pills (that he made himself) without provoking Negan to kill him. So instead he offered Negan a plausible explanation for Sasha’s death. Lucky for Eugene Negan appears to have bought it (at least for now) and has more pressing concerns to deal with. That being said if I were Eugene I’d have made extra pills for myself & keep them on my person at all times.
Didn’t look like it to me.
If he hadn’t bought it that would have been an immediate lucilling for Eugene.
The explanation was plausible. I think Negan was just choosing to believe it for tne nonce.
I had a much longer, nit-picky reply, but it comes down to this.
Overall, some good moments but lacking story. I feel like we just reset to the end of season six but with the main character death in this episode instead of the next one. I really didn’t like the 80s A-Team shooting. NO idea how so many, on both sides, survived.
I will be watching the next season but this could be the beginning of the end for me.
I think ultimately Eugene will be killed by Negan next season. I don’t think Negan fully trusts him. A possibility is Dwight sets up Eugene like he setup Dr. Say-Hello-To-My-Little-Furnace.
Another possibility is Dwight tries to setup Eugene but it backfires.
All in all, though I’m expecting some skullduggery between Dwight and Eugene.
Dwight could have proven his loyalty just by firing on his fellow Saviors even if Negan is still protected by plot armor. Don’t know why the writers had him take up with the Saviors at the moment of truth.
I wonder if the Scavengers will turn on Negan next season. Would be interesting to turn this into a three-way war. No way Alexandria could ever trust the Scavengers again which could be exactly what happens.
Study up on the garbage truck manuals.
That’s the problem with treachery; it only works once. No one is going to trust you again after that.
