I’ve got an idea for how Rick’s group could strike back against the Scavengers. They live in the dump. A few Molotov cocktails could cause a landfill fire that they don’t have the equipment to extinguish.
Dwight is familiar with large scale burns…and small iron burns too.
He’s actually more useful still with the saviors with them believing him to be on side, than one extra body back at Alexandria (admittedly with good intel)
I wonder when Negan is going to turn his Saviors loose on the trashy Scavengers? Given Negan’s moods, wants, and needs, it’s only a matter of time. But first, he has to deal with a real tiger, and I don’t mean Michonne, Maggie, or Carol.
And I agree about never trusting the Scavengers. It’s obvious that the Scavengers would change sides in the middle of a firefight if the price were right.
No, that doesn’t make sense. For the past season we’ve seen Dwight come to a whole crisis of consciousness with the Saviors. I think his desire to kill Negan is genuine.
And so far Eugene’s pragmatic cowardice hasn’t put him in a position to actually cause direct harm to his old friends. He’s tried to act as a mediator to defuse the situation. And he facilitated Sasha taking her own life. But Negan hasn’t put it to Eugene to “build a weapon to take out Alexandria”.
So I predict both characters story arcs will end with their giving their lives to achieve some sort of redemption.
Since Negan first came to Alexandria, I considered defenses against him. For example, IEDs lining the approaches to the gate. I don’t know if I posted about them, but I do know I mentioned ANFO truck bombs in the ‘Zombie bombs’ thread. They finally had a truck bomb (sort of), and it was sabotaged. I would have hidden ANFO bombs (and other IEDs, if I could get the stuff to make them) from near the gate (but not close enough to take it out) to the maximum distance of my killing zone.
Im talking about his own motivations in his own head. He knows he wont be trusted at Alexandria. His joining their side of the battle wouldn’t have achieved much at the time and would have blown his trusted status with the Saviors. As things are now hes in a position to deliver some highly effective treachery, regardless of what people in Alexandria think of him.
First time I’ve ever given an episode a “hated it” vote.
I thought that is was a good 45 min show compressed into an hour and a half viewing.
The surreal scenes were waaaaaaaay too long. Somebody should have told Sonequa Martin that her coffin dream face should look more like she’s dreaming and less like she’s getting laid.
And Negan just got ambushed and run out of town in a hail of gunfire after giving one of his waaaaay too long “I’m the bully” speeches.
Is that really the time when you flip off the guys who just humiliated you?
The guy driving him had to be thinking, “You just got your punk ass burned and a bunch of us killed because you wanted to bask in the glory of your idiotic plan which did not work”.
Also, how would a tiger know the good guys from the bad guys?
Best fan wank I can come up with is that Sheba recognized those from the Kingdom.
There is a 67% chance that she would pick a bad guy. That assumes an equal number in each group, of course.
They showed how they did the Shiva pounce. (Incidentally, Shiva is the Hindu god of creation and destruction.) A stuntman was dressed in a blue unitard, and was digitally replaced by Shiva (the tiger, not the god).
I wish someone would take some footage of The Blue Man Group and replace them with tigers. That would be fun.
