Holy shit, Jadis! ---

I’m glad Georgie seems to be a new character and not just a one-off. She’s obviously been doing very well for herself. And as far as Jadis knows Negan ordered her people slaughtered so he’s going to be in for an “interesting” time (although given that he’s _Negan_ he’s unlikely to end up in that industrial shredder thing). ---

If I ask AMC nicely enough do you think they would air the next episode now? Please AMC, I cannot wait a week! Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk ---

Stupid Rick is seen again. I hope Jadis gets Negan into the meat grinder toot sweet, as they say in France! ---

I did like that ending, and I think it would be quite entertaining to have the same interaction that Jadis and Rick had, only insert Negan: Jadis : I sculpt you after…those off Negan : Can I hold Lucille? Jadis : _shrugs_ Negain : I am 50% more into you now… ---

What did Georgie want with records? Is she planning to open a vintage vinyl store? Put on sock hops in the gym? ---

I liked this episode. Even Rick was tolerable. I liked White Pant Suit. She has a very Dale attitude (remember him) which was always my attitude too. There are plenty of resources available. The population is a fraction of what it was. Working together will always be better than forming small tribes and fighting since you maximize your chance of getting needed skills and knowledge. Negan’s scheme was just born of laziness and sociopathy. ---

Something I forgot to add: Is Norman Reedus filming a movie or something because Daryl seems to hardly be on the show now? ---

Even Hardwick on _Talking Dead_ made a comment about the “Storm Trooper shooting” by Rick as he’s chasing Negan. Sheesh, this thing is almost like a comic book sometimes!! ---

How many more times are we gonna see Rick and Negan fighting. Getting old. Negan needs to be dead. I can see Negan conning Jadis into helping him. She’s vulnerable, her group are all dead. I really hope she kills him though. Michonne had her a moment with Enid. The little girl needs to man up or she’s gonna die. And Daryl, he don’t need to talk so much. ---

I suppose that it is too much to hope for, that Jadis is taking Negan to the industrial shredder. ---

I loved that episode and think the Rick vs. Negan showdown was finale worthy. They should have gone all-in and had him kill him. I never would have seen it coming mid-season. “You’ll get us both killed!” “As long as you die first.” Loved it. Best of the season. ---
