I honestly did not remember that Tara was even alive. I just have so little investment in anyone who's left. Carl and his GF should run off and start their own show.
Alright episode, but this season feels like it's just spinning its wheels. Tons and tons of setup that I can only assume will go nowhere interesting in the end. 'Georgia as VA near DC' continues to be hilarious to me. Also, it's a looooong way from anything near Alexandria VA to any part of the Chesapeake Bay if you're going to walk it.
Also, why is everyone still so terrible at dealing with walkers still? It's comical how badly everyone looks like a flailing child when they show up despite it being like year 2 or 3 of this thing (and WTF happened to winter?).

This show is so fucking boring -- and this episode, while it had some good moments (I liked the ending sequence of her trip back home) it was so poorly written, paced, and acted I was a little taken aback.
I'm in love with Rosita though. If everyone's getting a long pointless episode can we at least give her one

They mentioned winter in the time skip from season 2 to 3 and how it just endedz And it has been the same year since then...it's beyond ridiculous now.
You are really assuming the set up will go no where? I mean is it not obvious that all these groups having a connection to Rick's mean that they are going to team up to take on the Saviors.
Wait, it's been the same year since season 3? How do they explain Coral growing up and going through puberty and growing long ridiculous hair

Apparently the show runners and some others say otherwise, but at this point in the show if they were following that timeline it should be winter by now, at least January.
I love fantasizing about zombie survival bases, and the bridge was one of the most unique I've ever seen. That's the only good thing I can really say about this episode.
It's interesting that there are secret communities out there, and it's cool that it was a community of girls, but it all felt so inconsequential. I doubt this community will ever come up again, and it really felt like the whole point was to show Tara's (Tera's?) character when she doesn't tell Rosita. I'm guessing they will eventually band together with the other communities to fight Negan, but even if it turns out to be true it won't save this episode from feeling pointless.

I think most people remembered her once she was on screen, but if you turned to someone ten minutes before the episode and said "Hey what do you think Tara is up to" they wouldn't know who you were talking about.
And she's been been around for two seasons but hasn't really done anything except try to fist bump everyone in sight, even when she's with the main group she just sort of fades into the background. To me she honestly feels like a character they meant to kill off but forgot; like they threw her in for that tension of her fighting for the Governor but once that faded that was about it for her. When you take a character like that and throw her under a rock since before the end of the prior season I don't think you can blame people for forgetting her.

I totally forgot Tara was even part of the Governor's establishment.

I forgot Tara existed.
Because she's a terrible bland character that hasn't been seen in a long time. The only reason she'll be remembered by everyone from now on is because she just gave us one of the top 3 worst episodes.

The show is really off the wall about this shit too. I think it's roughly day 600 or os now but after Season 3 there was a few months time jump to establish order in the prison with all the new meembers and building the community but even then it's weird and i'm gonna give some examples.
1. At the end of Season 3 they are wearing heavier clothing and you could see their breath from the cold then suddenly in season 4 it's like mid summer.
2. By season 4's end you know the season that started out in the bright summer days? Well the season is spread over what? 2 weeks max from start to finish yet by the final episodes you can tell how cold it is yet again by people talking and etc not to mention Rick is sporting his comic coat.
3. Same with the end of season 6 after having a bright and sunny adventure to D.C. to end up in bright and sunny Alexandria where Rick no longer needs his coat (until they start filming in like October/November again) where when Negan talks and specifically in a very common gif you see of him chuckling you can just tell how cold it is. You can't in the season 7 premiere though.
Wasn't there another time skip at Alexandria, by about 3 months. Would've covered Winter?
Episode was awful. One of the worst they've done. Everything about it was low-quality.
It doesn't snow in Georgia, except during an apocalypse.

I really enjoyed that episode. People really getting upset because the seasons aren't passing correctly and because you assume that all these plot threads will go nowhere, when it's obvious they will?
No, I'm down in it because it's boring and I'm tired of each storyline taking weeks off before I can see what happens next and the shoe slowly slowly slowly heads towards nowhere

no wonder the ratings of the show has dropped significantly after season premiere, it's been very low.
for somebody that reads the comics, the show is getting really boring

He left that bridge "oh shit I'm supposed to be on the set of 24!"
Haha, she's not a high-priority character, granted, but I just can't imagine completely forgetting that she existed. She had that episode before the Gov went crazy again, then the episode with Glenn, then she hooked up with Denise and flipped Rick off on that fence (which is one of my favorite moments of the series). She also told Eugene he was creepy when she caught him watching Abe and Rosita in the library. I mean, she's been on the show. Fair enough though. I suppose when the viewers forget characters exist, it's about the writers and pacing and these bottle episodes aren't doing any favors.
The actress was also pregnant & had the baby. They kind of wrote her out on purpose.
I also forgot about Tara, and Heath. That makes 5 X factors Negan doesnt know about with Rick's group.

Even tho Sasha is with Maggie she was in the lineup. Negan thinks Maggie is dead.
I mean yea its kinda obvious whats gonna happen. I even have a theory that each new community will have a member from Rick's group as their lead. Wouldnt be surprised if members from Rick's group took up residence in different communities. Just to be prepared for the next Negan.

Maybe I'm blanking here, but.. what was the point of hiding Maggie from Negan?

He wanted to take her with him.
Did he say that he was going to do this? Must have missed it. Thought he just hinted that it would have been nice to do.

Not sure but the implication was there. Which is why the reverend piped up and pretended she was dead.
Surfinn is right though. I don't think Negan said anything about taking Maggie before Gabriel dug the fake graves.
My thought was that they figured if Negan knew she we pregnant he'd take her back. They were just being overprotective of her. It's a small plot hole I think.

Sorry my bad, I meant the implication that he had further plans for Maggie.
Meh the hate with S2 is straight up hyperbole. It's a good season for the characters, just not so much for the plot moving forward.
Are they gonna have to hide her in the closet everytime he visits? Even after Jesus makes her their leader? 🤔

I think I need a few more episodes to understand just how bad the Saviors are.
Like, I get that they're bad. But are they REALLY bad?
I'm not sure.

How it would it feel different to say Game of Thrones? Your logic is flawed.
Pretty sure Negan blows up Alderaan in the next episode.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Next week's episode is about how they position the toilet paper roll in the incorrect underhand position instead of the preferred overhand position. These are some bad hombres.
Hey. I am a bigger fan if season 2 than most. Much prefer it over the shipwreck that was season 3.
