And he didn't finish his job. The guy who was supposed to be helping him was screwing Negan's wife, so they couldn't properly divert the herd. That's probably going to be a big part of the season finale.

Sex is bad. If you sex people will die.

 

[Disagree Guy]

Is this the first midseason finale that didn't end with a cliffhanger?

Season 2 midseason finale was them finding Sophia in the barn. Didn't end on cliffhanger.

 

[Baraka in the White House]

I can't help but think that episode one Negan would have immediately deleted Alexandria after getting shot at.

 

[ElyrionX]

A few questions:

1) What were those figures/statues Daryl saw in the room of the Savior he was hiding in?

2) What did Michonne see at the junction the Savior brought her to? I couldn't make it out but seems like a hugeass army of armed men?

3) Did the Savior in the car sort of implored Michonne to kill her, implying that she wanted out of her current misery?

 

[Devilgunman]

I wonder what they gonna do with Tara for part 2 since Alanna Masterson is having a baby. Use a stand-in and use computer to cut&paste her face?

 

[MarkMclovin]

Rick's power level has always been directly tied to his beard. He was such a god damn badass in Season 5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKphdQO36gk

The church massacre was hardcore.

I want that Rick back.

no idea

2) What did Michonne see at the junction the Savior brought her to? I couldn't make it out but seems like a hugeass army of armed men?
Negan's base where they kept Darryl

3) Did the Savior in the car sort of implored Michonne to kill her, implying that she wanted out of her current misery?
I believe so yes

[Red Liquorice]

Negan without stubble? Why would they do that? He goes from an 8 to a 5

I agree.

He went from badass to postman in a single episode

another?

i thought she just had one and she just hasn't (yet) lost those pregnancy pounds.

fake edit: yeah, in Nov 2015(!) she gave birth to her first child. Is she pregnant again?

Probably just pretend she doesn't exist. With the way the show has been written, no one's going to notice anyway.

She had a baby?

That explains the sudden expansion in the boob department.

 

[Nodnol]

Good mid-season finale; best episode since the premiere.

Have loved Negan so far; I just find him so funny and charming.

Hopefully now that they've spent the first half of the season showcasing the various pieces necessary for the downfall of the Saviours, the second half can present the uprising.

 

[sonycowboy]

Two things:

I loved when the exchange between the guy from the Kingdom, Carol, and Morgan. Obviously played for humor, but I like the way Morgan delivered it.

Richart: Carol, I imagine that violence and fighting is something you haven't been a part of.
Carol: You're wrong.
Morgan: You're very wrong.

Does anyone have a still of the group that Michonne saw with the woman she took hostage. I know it was meant to be a large group, but couldn't see it well enough.

 

[strafer]

So that girl with the long sleeve shirt, forgot her name, are they hiding her pregnant belly or something?...her boobage is massive.

 

[TommyTosser]

This show needs a complete reboot. Just start fresh with an entirely new cast and follow the comics down to the last detail. I would watch the hell out of an animated series based on the comics.

Unlikely to ever happen, you should try the Telltale Walking dead games, they might help your thirst.

Who the heck is spying on them?

Anyone got some juicy gossip to answer this?

...

I'm very curious about that too.

 

[Javier]

I feel Eugene is going to make the Saviors real bullets to earn Negan's trust but then he'll start making fake bullets and mix them up with the real ones.

Watch as in the season finale, one of the Saviors will be holding one of the important characters at gunpoint and as soon as he pulls the trigger, the gun (literally) backfires.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

I see our Queen, but where's her King and his fucking tiger?!?!?

Fail!!!

 

[Lionheart1827]

She already had the baby before her scenes were filmed. There was an article recently after the oceanside episode where she lambasted people for making fun of her weight when she literally just had a baby.

That was Dwight's room and those are the figures that Dwight carves himself. His grandpa taught him and we saw him making one in the episode he was introduced in last season.

Shell probably go on a missions to recruit the lake ladies then show up last minute with backup in the finale.

Now i really believe it was dwight that let him out (gave him lockpick note)

Do we have the words that were on the note anywhere?

Of course it was Dwight.

dwight joins up against Negan

im not making fun of her..she looks amazing. Also, I love curves on women.

I didnt say you were, sorry if it came off that way haha.

Was just pointing out that trolls were trying to make fun of her recently.

 

[Alpende]

I thought the episode was pretty good. It's almost as if having multiple storylines in 1 episode actually works and because of that it doesn't drag or become boring.

Damn my bad. I thought it's Nov 2016.

According to the spoiling dead fans they believe it is

Spoiler

somebody from a new community that's not in the comics. They live at a trash dump. Not much is known about them but based on some details from the end of the season it is possible that they could be on Negans side.

 

[Symphonia]

So, who was actually spying on Rick?

 

[Dunedain_Ranger]

I'm only hoping the second half picks up fast. I'm okay with the first half introductions and all that good stuff we needed to learn about the new characters. However, I can't see the writers having much room for slow episodes down the stretch I'm only
Assuming it has to pick up fast I mean daryls gone fat joeys dead it should pick up pretty fast right ?

 

[jroc74]

So I'm thinking bad ass carol comes back after hearing about Glenn and Abraham

Yup, especially finding out about Glenn.

Wouldnt be surprised if the person spying is from Oceanside.

Thanks.

 

[Surfinn]

Didn't realize how incredibly skinny JDM is until this episode. Man when he takes off that jacket, really lost some of the immersion. That was a dumb scene overall.

 

[Samurai G0SU]

well that sign probably had other people pass by it - and just like what happened with the wolves - traps are laid.

I expect something to develop from this in the upcoming mid-season.

"You win, but you still lose" can have different meanings than just the walking dead world

that's just me though!

p.s im not a comic book reader so i have no idea what is happening in the comic.

Spoiler

dont ban me again plz

Wow these numbers I was at least expecting 11 million damn.

 

[Surfinn]

Damn aren't midseason numbers usually much higher than middle episodes?

 

[cLOUDo]

Yeah, usually above 2+ millions of a middle episode

He looks starved and hollowed out.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

Me too. Surprised it didn't bounce a little higher heading into the mid-season finale. Still the highest rated show (cable or otherwise I believe). Killing off Glenn pissed off quite a few people.

 

[NoLongerALurker]

The msf didn't get the bump in ratings like I expected either. Believe I guessed 12mil last week. This episode did have to contend with the Cowboys vs Giants which was a big game as this is the first time in like 5 years both teams are playoff contenders. But the show will hit 15mil+ in the live + 3 days like it did last week.

I don't think the rating drop is a big deal yet though. One of my friends doesn't want to watch right now because Ricks group is losing right now and that isn't fun for him to watch and I've seen other people say the same thing online. So now that Rick and gang are ready to fight back we'll see more people tune in again. I certainly hope so at least because we're getting closer to the best storyline from the comics, though I don't think it will officially start until the season finale.

 

[DangerMouse]

Not sure if intentional but I thought it was a really nice subtle call back to the first episode where Negan said he wouldn't have messed with someone who had a beard like that to then see Negan remove his beard and have Rick beginning to grow his back as he decides enough is enough.

LOL yeah

 

[sfedai0]

I still dont get the note. Stupid passive aggressiveness against a group like Negan? So I guess war is on now for sure with Ricktator getting his gun back and Daryl escaping.

The note was from the dead guy that the stuff belonged to. Rick and Aaron probably didn't even see it.

Aaron saw it, but they probably just left it in there because they didn't expect the saviours to be at Alexandria upon their return anyways.

Hilarious how Spencer's guts just plopped out like candy out of a piñata.

Good mid-season finale after a pretty lackluster season thus far.

Spencers actor is fucking terrible at acting.

his death animation was shakespeare level of bad acting. Like what the fuck are you ding.
