Who the fuck hired an interpretive dance group in the middle of an apocalypse?

Yeah, seemed like this was one of those episodes we just suffer through to get to the good stuff...

And Rosita is on my last good nerve. Not sure if ulits bad writing, bad acting or what but this, "Im going to lone wolf it and save the world all by myself! Never mind that Ive been shown time and time again that it isnt possible!".

I mean it seems theyre trying too hard to show us Rosita has a death wish. We understand, thanks!

I have to agree that most of the characters are just annoying now, but I have felt that way since the season of walking to terminus! I keep watching only because i've spent so much time watching. I recorded the first half of this season after watching the premier and just watched it all right before the mid season premier. Not sure how much longer i'll hang on, I wish they would kill Daryl or Carol so i'd have another reason to walk away.

Yeah I think it's all of the above. She's never been a great actress. The writing for her character is terrible though, I simply do not understand why she's acting this way.

OTOH, it finally clicked with me for they way they've been treating Carol. It never really made much sense to me what they were doing to her character, but it only took one line this episode for it to come together. We needed it like 7 episodes ago. She was terrified of the person she became.

Fer realz, when they came circling out, I told my wife they were going to break into singing "When you're a Jet".

I was very disappointed by this episode. Nothing went the way I wanted it to go and it was extremely slow.

Rick and the GPK (Garbage Pail Kids) had the only cool moment. I hope they use that idea of a zombie knight as a weapon against the Saviors. How does Rick allow that woman to push him down the slide? How does he not explain they stole from the Saviors, not Alexandria. The good news...the GPK are war fodder. I ensure they all die in the war. I understand they want to add something to go away from the comic but I think this was a poor idea. Obviously, we all know the guns come from Oceanside...war or deal is the question.

Carol is killing me. I can't stand what she has become and I can't stand people are lying to her. She is a shark but they are allowing her to be a guppy. I will refrain from making the political comparison but it is obvious.

For those saying Rosita is nuts...I agree.

I don't see how people think Richard is crazy. He is a realist. He knows there needs to be a catalyst to start the war. CAROL would be perfect, I think it will be the boy though.

I hate it, but I can't stop watching.

Speaking of repetitive writing.

I thought they have been quite clear in her reasons for going all peacenic this season.

The larger reason, though...

Is that she is now Michone.

Maybe. But numerous actors pull off being in two shows with short 10 episode seasons.
And why leave a huge juggernaught like TWD for a new web-series?

Granted, the new web-series is Star Trek, but it is still a risk.

That said, I expect her to die. There is an opportunity coming later this season, so it just makes sense.

I really can't hate on the new group that was introduced for being a bit weird when the episode ends with Daryl sitting outside a tiger cage in medieval times. I was fine with the episode, though my bar for the show is low. I was happy it wasn't set entirely in the kingdom.

But they have fully explained the background of Zeke and the tiger, and it kinda makes sense. If they give a backstory of the scavengers that they all suffered brain damage early on so they are unable to speak intelligently or that they had power but could only watch the mad max series on a loop, than I guess I can buy that. Short of that, though, and they are a horrible group.

Well the writers are developing her so that's why her character acts like she's pissed at everything plus she's hurting that Abraham died and all the other guys she slept with or got involved with end up dead as well. P.S. Sasha was like this in five with the death of Bob and then she becomes a bitch to Noah cause she blames him for Tyrese's death and Beth's death in Atlanta and then gets upset with the Alexandrians going on with their lives like nothing had happened.

It isnt that I dont get that, but either the writing is bad or the acting. Cant decide which...

Its approaching Annikin/Amidala from Attack of the Clones bad, if you catch my drift.

Dumbest episode by far. the show has turned completely unrealistic. Neagan was such a psychopathical killer that surely he would have gone to each of the communities after Daryl escaped and killed people in each one until he was sure they didn't know where Daryl was.

The choreographed dance routine the weirdo garbage people did was just the dumbest thing ever WTF?

Reminds me of the human slaves from the Planet of the Apes. The armor-clad walker was cool but the rest of it seems pretty dumb and trying way too hard to be edgy.

Tera is holding more loyalty towards that female group than to her own. Doesn't make sense.

Carol wanting to know what happened with the saviors doesn't make much sense.

Dialogue heavy set up episodes are fine when the plot is actually good. Hopefully something entertaining happens soon.
