    She probably did kill some of his guys but she might have run out of ammo and just gave up. No reason to beat her as I am sure Negan wouldn't have allowed that.

    Yeah, that whole area of walkers being used as a tool for creating dramatic tension has been tiresome for a while now.

    Sometimes they bumble around, clattering every loud object they can find and moving at snail pace... the next minute they're like silent ninjas, creeping up on people and moving through the undergrowth like a gazelle.

    I wonder if Sasha takes that pill and if Morpheous finds her after. Stay tuned.

    so is Sasha dead next episode or beginning of season 7 or does she have a reduced role in the next season?

    Her lead role in the new Star Trek series started filming back in January or February and will last a few more months while season 8 starts filming in May.

    Why be annoyed? They clearly showed the walkers came from the beach and the boat. They were covered in barnacles ffs. So they didn't come from the forest.

    True, but there were enough of them that you'd think someone would have noticed them long before they were only a few dozen feet away.

    So when I watched that scene in the moment, I guessed that the whole "Negan kills a guy for raping a woman" scene was meant to show his hypocrisy, but now I have seen on social media that a lot of viewers have interpreted more as "he's not all bad", conveniently forgetting that coercing women into becoming his wives is also a form of rape.

    So how did the writers intend it to be interpreted?

    isn't the next episode the finale?

    I think this has to be a monster cliffhanger like last season, no way do they have time to go to war and transition.

    I know, water is wet....

    I think the comic book attempts to portray Rick and Negan as similar authoritarian figures with charisma and expert reasoning skills but Rick chooses to draw people to him through leadership and community where Negan uses overwhelming force and initial violence then cult like devotion through a structured system (i.e. "points" in the sanctuary, scheduled deliveries of protection "stuff").

    The TV show went over the top to make him the villain and JDM also is a little over the top in portrayal. As a result some the "anti hero" and/or villain charisma is lost. Also, they are trying to condense multiple pages of comic book into brief scenes between Hyundai commercials which doesn't help.

    It is true though, whether rape or slavery, Negan in both is allowing and promoting a form of it but thinks his lesser of two evils redeems him (both are still evil).

    On the Talking Dead after show, they had "superfans" that met as a couple as Rick and Michonne and the "Rick" stated Negan gives you the choice of this or death so you'll almost always choose him.

    I think they meant us to interpret it that in his own mind he's the good guy.

    Perhaps they were on the boat trapped and then something fell off to release them.

    So Dwight good or bad? I think he'll end up saving them perhaps from a double cross by the junk weirdos.

    It does seem odd that the Saviors would have never come across the Junk People. On the other hand, it's also weird that it took them that long to come upon Alexandria.

    - I know it's part of that character's shtick, but Ezekiel's speechifying is really getting a bit annoying.
    - It's obviously due to the plot immunity of some of the characters, but the Saviors are possibly worse shots than even Stormtroopers. Even though about a dozen of them were nearby, not one of them managed to shoot Rick, Carl or indeed the tiger even once.
    - I assume that the point of the closing pan to Negan's force was to show how large it is, but it sort of missed its effect with me. That's a small amount of people to wage a full-on war against armed opponents, especially since they can use guerilla tactics. The smart move would be to hole up at the Sanctuary. Even if the idea is that he has more men than that at his outposts, it still wouldn't be enough to be sure of winning the war, only to be sure of having heavy losses even if he does win.

    That might be the least surprising double cross in cable tv history.

    "We know absolutely nothing about these people other than they are weird and live among trash, but lets give them a bunch of guns on the promise that they will fight for us."

    Also, why is all of their grammar mangled? Society hasn't collapsed long enough for all of them to morph into Yoda linguistically.

    where is the budget going? This show is a huge $$$ maker for AMC yet the episodes look like they have the budget of Z Nation

    i love how they promote it as "extended episode". it's just 60 mins while the regular is 42/43 minutes. but of course 30 damn minutes of commercials. this episode should have been 75 minutes at least. More action. It really seems this whole season has been lackluster with a few actual gems worth mentioning.

    When they showed his men it looked like about maybe 60 or thereabouts. I'd say that's roughly about the same Alexandria, Hilltop and the Kingdom.

    It wasn't an overwhelming force. Even if he can double that by bringing in people form his outposts (which would leave those more exposed), it's still not enough.

    Yes and, bear in mind, this was another incident where one of his men gets killed, (when Sasha was trying to munch him), and he's still up and about.

    I mean, is it just me? Would anybody else here start to think, 'Hang on... we keep dying and that bastard keeps surviving'. I can't help thinking at least a few of them would start to say, 'I'll have a go at head-bashing and wife/girlfriend bonking duties while you fend them off me' :D
