My husband said much the same: 'Do you think the writers recently watched the Magnificent Seven?'

Can someone please remind me - in Abraham's flashback, he saw himself in bed with Rosita.

Whats happened to her - can't remember?!

I think that Abraham will die. I read the comics, so I more or less know what will happen, but still...too many signs around Abraham's fate.

I don't think it counts as murder considering the guy had a knife to Rick's throat and had just stabbed someone else. Definitely self-defence (albeit in quite a brutal way!). I did lol too at the "What?"

And that girl who punched Rick afterwards is very lucky Michonne only knocked her to the ground, and didn't draw her sword on her!

It does seem like they are taking Negan too lightly. The Governor was insane and got people to go along with him out of lies and trickery, and the Termites weren't really that tough when it came down to it, but Negan's seems like a more well organised operation.

I'm liking Jesus a lot. Tom Payne's very charismatic in the role. And Xander Berkeley's wonderfully slimy as Gregory.

I really liked last nights episode. It moved things along at a good pace.

Rick & Co seem to think they're indestructible - I think they might run in to problems with Neagan though - might see a few casualties soon ?

Nothing, he's just torn between attempting something with Sashs or settling with Rosita because it's comfortable.

rick and co killing people one settlement at a time lol

She's still around, just is busy with the tomatoes and cucumbers end of the business. Which is a shame, but I suppose there is only room for one or two kick-butt babes in a 42 minute episode.

I think even for TWD standards surely Rick and co would be a bit more wary about Neegan and co considering they beat a 16 year old boy to death in front of a group of people? That's pretty intense

I guess I loved the episode as it was very revealing of information but still I want to know so much more

Yes it doesn't quite feel right that Rick's group are all cocky and willing to go into war with a group they know very little about strength wise, and have had a couple of run ins with already (especially Daryl) to show they're at least as bad as any group they've encountered so far.

One minute the Alexandrian's are trying to get settled for the future and next they're going to war with a group that as yet doesn't even know they exist or where they are. Talk about reaping what you sow. Inevitable there will be deaths and for what? A few bits of grocery and to help a group they've only just met.

They'd do better getting that truck out of the lake and do some recon on the Saviours to see what they would be up against, and then decide how to help the Hilltop.

On second thoughts bring it on! Crazy stuff is more interesting that the US version of Emmerdale Farm. Just hope the more interesting characters don't get bumped off for shock value.

I think they're taking the fight to them to give themselves the element of surprise. It's only a matter of time before the saviours find them (even without the motorbike gang incident). They mentioned some sort of recon, and I imagine the next few episodes will be the build up with a big confrontation as the finale.

Hope so. Would be good to see them have a plan that makes sense and works as well as any plan can. i.e. No plan survives the battlefield.

Maybe they should infiltrate the Saviours and take them down from the inside instead of a full on assault.

Did the two who took Daryl's things belong to Negan's group?

If that guy wanted to kill Rick he would have just done it instead of simply holding the knife to Rick's throat. That hesitation speaks volumes.

Agree, Jesus and Gregory are fun characters.

Think there will be some "shock" deaths to come. Basically, Maggie, Glenn and Abraham are looking like good candidates but the writers may try to out think viewers and go in another direction.

To me it sounded like Rick and the others were just gonna go straight over to Negan's and kick ass. Not the best idea...

It's a theory they might have escaped from them, or from someone else.

I'm not a comic reader and I am getting sick to the back teeth of hearing about this Negan person, who just sounds like a typical bully. People have been talking about him since the first series.

Hopefully it will all be an anti-climax, like the Governor was. And Morgan too, he's turned out to be a tw@.


ETA: Really missed Carol last night.

I only watched the episode once so may be remembering it wrong, but I thought the two that stole Daryl's bike and crossbow were originally running away from Negan's group of bikers that Daryl later took out with the RPG. Pretty sure it was the same biker leader that was leading the chase of the 'fugitives'.

What puzzled me at the time was the biker leader saying the runaways had to choose to go back rather than being forced to, and they were only chasing them for what they had stolen. Diabetes meds for the sister that didn't survive the greenhouse zombies if I remember right, so the other two chose to go back with the meds after she got chomped rather than be on the run.

So some strange arrangement going on rather than pure slavery.

We're the people with 'W's on their forheads part of this Neagan's group? Or were they a completely different group altogether?

I think they are the "Wolves" a different group .

Nah, they were different groups.

No, they were that weird death cult that attacked Alexandria early this season. As far as we can tell they have all been wiped out.

Though if Daryl had yellow teeth and put a W on his forehead he wouldn't need to change his appearance in any other way.

I don't get the fan acclaim for Daryl. Merle was always the more interesting Dixon brother. I just can't look at Daryl without cringing at the filthy hair that's always in his eyes.

If we could vote on which regulars to get bumped off next I'd vote for Daryl, Glen, Carl, Eugene, Tara. I find none of them interesting characters.

Why are Rick and co so rubbish at finding food.

And keeping it dry..

My English is not all that, so I dont know how good Andrew Lincoln's American accent is.
But I think he has started to speak more ... forced... in the last episodes. Like he has to really think about how he pronounces words.

Or is that just me hearing things? I think everyone else is very good. I know many of them are British.
Shame that not one of them could keep their accent. There has to be some English folks in the USA
