AMC put up the sneak peak. spoiler alert it doesn't show much at all.

Hahahahahaq transparent as fuck, they showed like 2 seconds from the actual show the rest was stock.

the bright side the less they show in promos or the more obtuse they are that means a lot usually happens in those episodes

then again it's the second last before the midseason finale so it was going to be a good one anyway.

 

[Dunedain_Ranger]

Just rewound and that definitely wasn't Glenn's voice. The voice was too deep.

At first I thought Nicolas

 

[Dai101]

Ahhhhhhhhhh the preview is keeping the cards close to teh chest. But we gettin badass rick back.

Keep the RPG's away from him, please!

 

[User 479360]

Thanks for the sneak peak. I missed it because I watched my PVRed TWD 20 minutes in, and it only saved the first few minutes of Into the Badlands. Then again, it shows nothing.

That didn't sound like Glenn, although I could hardly make it out. I hope he's still alive, though.

This episode, as a whole, was the weakest one of the season. It had its moments, but wasn't anything special. It's too bad Darryl lost his crossbow. I wonder how long it will be before he comes across those idiots, dead on the road, and takes it back.

to be clear, that was the sneak peak for next week, this is the actual preview for it. Also kinda vague but it looks good.

What a good episode ruined by "a man knows".

Beyond that, though, I'm supposed to believe that hairy stinky gross old Abraham is going to have hooked up with both Rosita and Sasha, two insanely gorgeous women?

I guess it's a man's world.

 

[DangerMouse]

Mint condition walkers indeed LOL

 

[DangerMouse]

I just don't get why this show still writes people that would approach dead bodies like they are harmless. These deaths are so stupid and pointless, why even show them.

I think that might have been the most careless death yet!

 

[neoism]

almost done with this ep, still shitty but better than last week...


i swear this season has been good soo far but the pacing has been straight fucking garbage... rick has barely been in it at all...:/
2 more eps then a fucking 3 month wait..

Don't mess with firecrotch.

 

[WooHooAlex]

So, my (probably) completely ridiculous prediction for the finale. Because I think next week is going to be Rick/Alexandria drama with

Spoiler

Ron shooting Carl and probably losing a chunk of his face.

For the finale... opening scene prediction

Spoiler

opening scene is our first look at Jesus, who is on the run from a shit ton of walkers. He climbs onto the roof of a building to escape. He hears a gunshot (Nicholas killing himself) and runs over to the ledge to see what happened. Hes overlooking the alley of walkers and sees Glenn climb into the dumpster.

Spoiler

So that would mean the voice was Jesus Monroe, who saved Glenn, but Glenn is badly hurt and needs help.

Just an idea.

 

[DangerMouse]

What advice would Merle have for the guy who just lost his arm and LOL

LOL Yondu or Merle, Yondu pays better

 

[Butts-a-plenty]

So the entire first half of this season is going to be 1 day....right?

With the exception of Morgan flashback.

That would be cool.

 

[TheSeks]

Wow, that was pretty weak focus on the three. I also don't like how Abraham suddenly wants to bone Sasha just because she's lost everything like him and "gone crazy." What about Roseita, dude!?

 

[neoism]

Chris Hardwick is much more subdued in those Talking Dead promos. I remember the episode where lori was bit while pregnant and when his promo came up he was screaming "OH MY GOD, ZOMBIE BABY!" That was great.

wat? lori wasnt bit?

 

[User 479360]

Oh okay. Thanks.

It looks good, and it's nice to see Carol again.

 

[luxarific]

Wow, death of diabetes girl was about the dumbest and most pointless one in the entire series. Zombies are dangerous, boys and girls.

So what's the consensus - was Faceless Blue Jeans Guy

Spoiler

Negan

?

Also that definitely sounded like Glenn saying "help" at the end there.

Faceless Blue Jeans Guy - could have been

Dwight

I really think the voice on the walkie at the end was

Spoiler

Jesus Monroe

 

[BizzyBum]

Man, even I have to admit that blond girl's death was just awful. People do die and get bit in the dumbest ways imaginable on this show. That's something you expect to happen when the outbreak first happened, how does someone survive the apocalypse for two years and die like that? The only thing I can think of is they were also sheltered in some form of community since the start like the Alexandrians.

As a side note, what's the name of that chick? She was cute as hell, and I love that type of pixie haircuts on girls.

 

[lazybones18]

I want a TWD pop-up book

 

[jokkir]

Oh great, Morgan being a doofus for another ep again

 

[lazybones18]

Paris mention

 

[LifEndz]

Oh great, Morgan being a doofus for another ep again

"All life is precious. Even a maniac that just machette'd an unarmed woman. Even a crazed man that tried to kill me. Even..."

Yeah, it's incredibly dumb. And that whole "this ain't you. I know you." bit is also tired.

 

[RS4-]

lol at the upcoming Moron Morgan side show.

I'm surprised Daryl didn't see it before, then again, the show does make things obvious. I thought it was a random hut at first when he was next to biker helmet. And what a hilarious death with insulin girl. Hahaha.

Blue jeans guy, they called him Dwight? I can't remember.

edit - nm, Dwight was the chump that took the bike.

Faceless Blue Jeans Guy - could have been

Spoiler

Dwight

I really think the voice on the walkie at the end was

Spoiler

Jesus Monroe

The guy with the hidden face was called Wade. Dwight was the guy who stole Daryl's crossbow and bike.

 

[Samurai G0SU]

I liked this season so far. Excited to see negan at the season finale.

Rpgssss

 

[luxarific]

The guy with the hidden face was called Wade. Dwight was the guy who stole Daryl's crossbow and bike.

Thanks - sound mix was weird in this episode, I really had difficulty understanding what people were saying. Maybe I'm just going deaf though.

 

[FadedRevolution]

I'm in the camp that the voice on the walkie talkie didn't sound like Glenn.

Spoiler

Also was that dwight's wife? The chick with the brown hair? Is it possible he will later be a Savior under Negan?

 

[WooHooAlex]

The guy with the hidden face was called Wade. Dwight was the guy who stole Daryl's crossbow and bike.

Ya, realized it after I typed it

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

How do people die/get bit in the dumbest ways imaginable still years after the epidemic hit? -_- Good episode otherwise.

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

This show has too many scenes in it that make it feel like a parody of itself at this point, like random death scenes just for the hell of it.

 

[DXLelouch153]

i wonder how Morgan would react to ISIS?
i bet that fool would say to spare them too -_-
just off him already and be done with it

 

[SURGEdude]

Did everybody just huff some glue before this episode or something? The amount of dumbness was painful.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Pretty solid (comic)

Spoiler

origin episode for Dwight. Nice touch by having him steal Daryl's crossbow, as Comic Dwight also had a crossbow. Can't wait to see who he uses it on...

Abraham and Sasha's storyline was a little too similar to the Carol/Daryl episode from last season though. Their side of the episode definitely could have been spruced up a bit.

 

[M_A_C]

Did everybody just huff some glue before this episode or something? The amount of dumbness was painful.

Yup. This show has gotten so bad this season.

 

[Partition]

two god AWFUL episodes in a row this season is really decaying

Look I'm all for "WE DONT NEED ZOMBIE HORDES IN EVERY EP!!!" but it's quite CLEAR the facade of TWD all falls apart as soon as the action stops. The writers have absolutely NO CLUE how to write dialogue / character development scenes. The stuff with Abraham made me cringe so hard. The entire Daryl storyline was pointless, cheesy, and awful; pretty much just filler.

Now I can't wait to tune in next week when we figure out - OH Glenn is ALIVE for some miraculous completely unrealistic reason.

 

[Lumpy Onion]

That diabetic girl's death was so predictable. Episode was just OK. Kinda cool to see all those crispy walkers. That one in the helmet Daryl saw after he fell off the bike was such a pathetic sight. That image really stuck with me for some reason. Sasha and Abe's scenes were putting me to sleep.

Also apparently there is going to be a Negan coming into the show. I don't know who that is since I don't read the comic but I like the actor well enough. Hope he's a cool character.

Also, I hope Glenn is dead. But I'm guessing there will be some dumb contrivance.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

The Abraham and Sasha thing...I don't buy. What happened to Rosita, man? Sasha and Abraham have a shared experience, I suppose, morbid fucks, but there is no chemistry with their characters.

I actually thought this was a decent episode. It was fairly predictable, especially with Darryl going back to give them the medicine and the jump zombies getting that girl anyway...but I wouldn't say it was a bad episode. Kept me more engaged than last week.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

They address Glenn tonight or naw?

 

[zewone]

That was 100% Glenn's voice asking for help.

 

[Velcoro]

What an idiot. Sheesh. You would think folks would know by now to stay away from walkers.

Right she didn't even try to stay alive just gave up. This ep was awful.

 

[rainking187]

I really liked the "great cosmic Pete" line.

 

[Angry Fork]

For people who have read the comics, was the guy/girl who was with daryl also in the comics? I liked them it's a shame they did daryl dirty like that it's rare to see people not in Rick's group who haven't turned evil yet. I would've liked to see him bring them back to Alexandria.

 

[Theanine3D]

Wow was that Abraham hitting on Sasha scene really, really awkwardly written.

I've liked the other episodes so far this season but I can't find one single redeemable thing about this one.

Comic Spoilers:

Spoiler

Maybe. There is a character in the comics named Dwight who uses a crossbow like Daryl. When the character was first revealed in the comic, they only showed part of his body with the crossbow and people assumed they were adding Daryl from the TV show to the comic.

But since Darly isn't in the comic, nothing about this episode is from the comic. But a lot of people are thinking the guy is Dwight. The comic referenced and alluded to the next big bad several times before he showed up, and it feels like the same thing was happening here.

What is interesting is that this guy took Daryl's crossbow in this episode...

 

[SURGEdude]

They have really shat on Daryl's character recently. Dude went from badass as fuck to a ditzy side character.

Ah I see. So

Spoiler

is Dwight a good guy in the comics? (relatively speaking) The guy + girl in today's episode seem decent (and just did what they did to Daryl due to being afraid to trust people).

Also is there an explanation given in the comics for why groups which are crazy still end up surviving together somehow? Like the cannibals didn't eat each other but they ate other people, how was this decided/why? And the people with the W on their foreheads not attacking each other but attacking others. You'd think groups like that would disintegrate fairly quickly on their own due to what they're doing.

Why is it every new group that isn't Rick's seems to be really crazy/psychotic? lol Also is there an explanation given in the comics for why groups which are crazy still end up surviving together somehow?

Comic Spoiler:

Spoiler

I would say Dwight is a decent antihero type. Begrudgingly works for the bad guys, but wants to do things another way. If the guy and girl in this episode are the characters from the comic, the show is introducing an earlier version than we got in the comics. Some stuff goes down with them that you get as back story in the comic but might just happen as we go along on the show.

Sometimes the comics get into the inner dynamics of the groups. The group that is coming up is pretty clear about how things work, their structure, and what happens if you don't go along with their way of life.

The Wolves that we've seen, I honestly don't know what their deal is. They might be a lower order of an upcoming group, or something purely original for the show.
