Finally, we don\u2019t know the time frame of those shots, so I am passing on the Glen and Abe grave train. I felt this summed up my responses to Bri, Bitty, and Eric, and if you\u2019re right, well you get to make sure to remind me that I am an idiot.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0When the group assaulted the Sanctuary, was it smart to use all of that ammunition to prove a point? \u00a0Also, how did they not bring a sniper to take out Negan?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Briana: \u00a0Ugh! The entire point was supposed to be \u201conly one person has to die\u201d instead it was only one person has to talk our way out of killing that one person who has to die! Rick had so many chances to take him out and end it all. I mean I don&#8217;t necessarily hate that they shot the whole building out, but I do hate that they didn&#8217;t just kill Negan right then and there. \u00a0<\/span><b>(It felt like the whole point of the journey was forgotten fairly quickly. \u00a0I guess that doesn\u2019t make for great TV.)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bob: \u00a0Killing the person Negan does not destroy the idea of Negan. \u00a0A thought is more influential and persistent than a person. \u00a0They might just start calling themselves Simon. \u00a0<\/span><b>(I giggled at the Simon line. \u00a0While I agree with you that the idea of Negan and the Saviors is more than one person\u2019s life, I do wonder who would take over if Negan had gotten taken out in that moment. \u00a0Let\u2019s face it, Simon is smart but not tough, while Gavin may be slightly tougher, or at least have youth, but seems like a dumbass. \u00a0Arat was nowhere to be found, and Dwight is questionable. \u00a0Would there be too much in house fighting to determine the next leader that would enable the group to dismantle the Saviors?)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bitty: \u00a0I was so mad they used all the ammunition!!! As soon as Negan came out i yelled at the TV \u201cshoot him!!\u201d. (This made my husband mad cause he\u2019s on the Negan train) Back to bullets, if they were trying to attract walkers with the glass breaking they should\u2019ve just lit more fires. So stupid. Why prove a point now- shoot to kill. <\/span><b>(Because points make for better TV. \u00a0It was incomprehensibly stupid, but I am glad that Negan lives because without him, this show would be struggling. \u00a0He is the perfect counterpoint to Rick. \u00a0Also, Brian is right to be on that train.)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chris: \u00a0I think Rick wanted to show that&#8217;s is in control now. \u00a0Plus attracting the walkers could drive the saviors from their home, giving Rick and co. an advantage. \u00a0As far as bringing a sniper, if they killed Negan in episode 1, what fun would that be? \u00a0<\/span><b>(The lack of sniper thing drove me nuts. \u00a0I don\u2019t want Negan to die, but if I\u2019m Rick, I\u2019m bringing one. \u00a0What a terrible beginning to the season that would be!)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Raylene: \u00a0All Rick seemed to do this was trying to show that he has access to bullets and they didn\u2019t bring one because Rick is insistent on killing Negan himself. \u00a0<\/span><b>(There you go. \u00a0Rick wants that glory kill. \u00a0He wants to be the knight in shining armor. \u00a0He wanted it with The Governor, and he didn\u2019t get it. \u00a0He did get it with Gareth. \u00a0In his mind, he needs this to cement himself, or to do what\u2019s right as a former sheriff. \u00a0It\u2019s in his DNA.)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eric: \u00a0It was a GIANT waste of ammo. But it was meant as a show of force towards Negan and his group. They had no intention of killing anyone because they didn\u2019t assault the building. \u00a0<\/span><b>(Isn\u2019t it a tad baffling to want to show force when you could just have taken out 2-4 of those people up on that platform? \u00a0What scares you more: a group of 20-30 people wasting ammo and shooting windows, or that same group gunning 4 of your most influential members of your group? \u00a0It\u2019s a weird logical fallacy that I need to stop over thinking.)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kent: \u00a0It was simply a \u201cwho\u2019s dick is bigger\u201d moment. \u00a0RIck popped some viagra prior to his trip, maybe had a penis pump in the RV, I don\u2019t know. \u00a0I hated how this scene went down. \u00a0I hate to be that guy, but the comic did it so much better. \u00a0This was absolutely frustrating. \u00a0At the very least, I was hoping that Negan had snipers. \u00a0No snipers!! \u00a0This whole thing annoyed me.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0Are you mad at Father Gabriel for stopping to get Gregory? \u00a0Can Gregory show his face at the Hilltop ever again?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Briana: \u00a0I&#8217;m not mad at Gabriel bc that&#8217;s who he is. He&#8217;s the father and the friend to all. He&#8217;s selfless and assumes the rest of the world will show the same compassion he does. It&#8217;s never ever true for the poor guy but he&#8217;s consistent! I&#8217;m assuming at the moment no one will know it&#8217;s his fault Gabriel didn&#8217;t make it out so unfortunately no one has a reason to not have him show his face around.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bob: \u00a0No, that is who Gabriel is. \u00a0I can&#8217;t imagine Gregory failing to show up at the Hilltop again. I think Gregory will assume Gabriel dies, which he might. \u00a0It could end up an interesting scenario. \u00a0I wonder if the show will \u201cforget\u201d about Gabriel for an end of season reveal. <\/span><b>(Midseason finale sounds about right.)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bitty: \u00a0Season 8 and I still can\u2019t stand Father Gabriel. He\u2019s a liability. Has been, is now and will be again. Gregory will get killed before he makes it back to Hilltop. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chris: Not mad at Father Gabriel, it\u2019s in his nature to help. \u00a0I think he&#8217;s still wanting to atone for what he did to his parishioners at his church. \u00a0Gregory can probably still go back to hilltop. \u00a0No one will know that he betrayed Gabriel and he is arrogant enough.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Raylene: \u00a0I\u2019m not mad that\u2019s just who Father is I think he still carries around the guilt of locking his congregation out of the church. So when he hears a cry for help he just can\u2019t leave them behind. \u00a0Gregory can try to show his face at Hilltop but I believe he\u2019ll get the boot <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eric: Gregory is a coward Father Gabriel should have known that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kent: \u00a0I question how Gabriel\u2019s character has been done. \u00a0A lot of you are saying that it\u2019s in his nature, but there have been plenty of times that isn\u2019t necessarily true. \u00a0He\u2019s an incredibly complicated character. \u00a0He\u2019s got the guilt thing going, but he also tried to get Rick thrown out of Alexandria, he was a sniveling coward. \u00a0He did eventually man up and decide to stop being a little bitch. \u00a0Last season, Gabe was one of the best done characters who would do work. \u00a0I am mad at him. \u00a0I love Gregory and you all know this, but he didn\u2019t deserve Gabe\u2019s kindness. \u00a0Gabe is Judith\u2019s official babysitter, so not happy, and I\u2019m going to sit here with my arms crossed and pout.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0Out of every character in the show, who do you feel has the biggest axe to grind with Negan?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Briana: \u00a0Either Maggie or Daryl. They took Maggie\u2019s remaining family from her and Daryl still blames himself for Glenn plus all the torture stuff they put him through. <\/span><b>(Daryl is an interesting choice because he\u2019s gotta deal with the consequences of his actions for the rest of his life. \u00a0So he\u2019s a really good candidate because although he will blame himself, if it wasn\u2019t for the lineup, none of that happens.)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bob: \u00a0Maggie. \u00a0Dwight is absolutely the wrong answer. Dwight chose to go back most likely knowing full well what would occur. \u00a0He made that choice and that is on him. \u00a0Maggie&#8217;s husband and father of her child was murdered by Negan. That&#8217;s plenty of axe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bitty: \u00a0Tough question!! I\u2019d like to say Maggie however my mind goes to Dwight. We haven\u2019t known him long enough but he has a huge axe to to grind with Negan. Dwight has been mentally and physically abused by Negan for all we know, years. Negan abused his wife, raped her in the sense of the deal. Banished him, humiliated him and just keeps him around for a working dog. Dwight has a similar character story now to that of Carol in Season 1. \u00a0Battered, abused and ready for revenge. <\/span><b>(Woah woah woah, let\u2019s not throw around the word rape. \u00a0A deal\u2019s a deal, even if it\u2019s with a dirty dealer. \u00a0She chose to be Negan\u2019s wife rather than work. \u00a0That is on her. \u00a0The same applies to Dwight. \u00a0He\u2019s had opportunities, even more so than Sherry, and continues to back the wrong horse, or at least did, and he allowed it. \u00a0He\u2019s a fucking Lifetime movie. \u00a0The only axe Dwight should grind is with Sherry and himself.) \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Raylene: \u00a0I would say Rick he has lost many of his people, his supplies, his dignity(but not his hair) <\/span><b>(Ernie Tetrault approves this message.)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eric: \u00a0It\u2019s a toss up between Rick and Maggie. Maggie because of the death of Glenn. Rick because of the mental trauma Negan put him through when he almost made him cut Carl\u2019s hand off.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kent: \u00a0I must admit, I didn\u2019t anticipate or consider anybody choosing Maggie, and I am baffled by all of you. \u00a0I expected some Rick and Dwight, maybe a Daryl, but no Maggie. \u00a0Obviously, I choose Carl. \u00a0Carl has been used as this pawn, or bargaining chip, in this war in some ways. \u00a0Negan wanted his hand cut, then he was a second away from bashing in his skull. \u00a0Negan has humiliated his father at times. \u00a0I\u2019d also say that Ezekiel got no love despite him basically taking on the role of Benjamin\u2019s father. \u00a0Where\u2019s his love?<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0Why were Carol and Tara hiding from the walkers early in the episode on the overpass?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Briana: \u00a0So they wouldn&#8217;t distract them and set them off course and then also get themselves eaten.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bob: \u00a0They didn&#8217;t want to walkers to stop walking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bitty: \u00a0They were timing the herd. Also to look at the flowers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chris: \u00a0They didn&#8217;t want to create a distraction. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Raylene: \u00a0Perhaps they didn\u2019t want them to stop or turn back around I really don\u2019t know<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eric: \u00a0They were timing how long it took the walkers to move as a group.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kent: \u00a0It still doesn\u2019t make sense to me. \u00a0I get the timing aspect, but hiding from them when they can\u2019t just magically get up there, it just struck me as weird. \u00a0The walkers are more likely to sense them via scent or sound, not sight.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0Did you enjoy old man Rick\u2019s look? \u00a0Save the spoilers for a different blog, please.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Briana: \u00a0Ew no! Haha! That hair cut and beard were not doing it for me! Being old doesn&#8217;t mean you automatically have to have a flat top and curled under beard lol! \u00a0<\/span><b>(The flat top was an interesting\u2026..and borderline awful choice, but comedic too.)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bob: \u00a0I guess it was interesting. \u00a0His face looked the same, Michonne had no changes\u2026 <\/span><b>(Black don\u2019t crack, so no surprise there.)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bitty: \u00a0I hated how his beard got so fluffy.

They didn&#8217;t get where they are by being Negan\u2019s group. They got here by being the people who brought in new people and helped others. That&#8217;s who they should stay. \u00a0<\/span><b>(Yeah, you said it better than I did, so well done.)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bob: \u00a0Yup, like Gabriel saving Gregory, this is who Carl is. \u00a0His group will be fine, let&#8217;s not forget all those MREs they found. \u00a0<\/span><b>(Let\u2019s never forget the MRE\u2019s or the DRE\u2019s.)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bitty: \u00a0Leaving the cans was different for Carl\u2019s character. I think at the beginning of season 7 he would\u2019ve shot on site and said eff it and never gone back. Now he has a sense of responsibility and leadership. He has almost a hopeful sense about him. <\/span><b>(Carl is one of my favorites because I love his character\u2019s arc more than just about anybody else\u2019s, aside from Carol.)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chris: \u00a0Yeah he did the right thing. \u00a0He hasn&#8217;t lost his humanity. \u00a0<\/span><b>(Has Rick lost his humanity do you think?)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Raylene: \u00a0Yeah I think he did the right thing now that they are not giving half the stuff to Negan. \u00a0<\/span><b>(Not losing half of their stuff really does help.)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eric: \u00a0Yeah I guess, what\u2019s a few cans of food when food is scarce \u00a0<\/span><b>(Yeah, I think at this point, Alexandria has some to spare in the short term, and better to make an ally than an enemy.)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kent: \u00a0I liked the gesture. \u00a0Way back in season 4 I think (maybe late 3) when Carl was protecting Herschel and shot that one kid from Woodbury, and that\u2019s who Carl was then. \u00a0Carl has now had a chance to see various types of leaders and he is starting to come into his own. \u00a0Rick has to be trigger happy in his mind because he doesn\u2019t want to get fooled again.

I liked the speed and seeing all of the core cast in action. I liked the shielded cars. I liked seeing the different ways of killing the guards at the outposts. Everyone was involved in someway. And I loved\u2026. \u201cTHE HILLTOP STANDS WITH MAGGIE!!!\u201d <\/span><b>(Okay, in all fairness, Carol seeing the flower made me happy. \u00a0I miss Lizzie a lot. \u00a0That girl was awesome.)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chris: \u00a0I guess I\u2019m in the minority but I loved it. \u00a0It seems like everyone expects something \u201cbig\u201d in every episode. \u00a0The show has never really been like that. \u00a0All out war has started, and Gabriel is in big trouble. \u00a0Can&#8217;t wait to see what happens next week. \u00a0(Also loved all the scenes that payed homage to season 1.) \u00a0<\/span><b>(The episode for me is an average TWD episode, it wasn\u2019t bad at all, minus the ammunition thing, but the show has spoiled us with great premieres, and this didn\u2019t have that same vibe, at least for me.)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Raylene: \u00a0I felt it was lackluster \u00a0I was expecting a few major deaths or plot twists <\/span><b>(M Night Sham is disappointed at the lack of tweets.)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eric: \u00a0Episode did move slower than I would have liked. But you can\u2019t blow your wad right out of the box. Where are they gonna go if they kill Negan in the first episode. \u00a0<\/span><b>(Negan isn\u2019t going to die, same as Rick or Carl aren\u2019t going to die. \u00a0It hurts the product in some capacity that certain characters are put in situations that we know they will overcome. \u00a0The show is at it\u2019s best when expendable characters are put in bad situations.)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kent: \u00a0Season 2 premiere gave us the highway herd, Sophia going missing, and Otis shooting Carl. \u00a0Season 3 premier gave us that amazing first scene where you see how the group has become a great machine in how they scavenge and find the prison. \u00a0Season 5 premiere gave us the escape from Terminus and Carol cementing herself as the baddest lady on TV. \u00a0Season 7 premiere was the infamous lineup. \u00a0This premiere doesn\u2019t top any of those, so yeah, i was a little let down. \u00a0Then you add the fact that it was #100 and, well you expect more. \u00a0To take it one step further, they had this set up in the comics and it results in 2 deaths, so knowing that put a damper on this for me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Final Thoughts<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bitty: \u00a0I would like the action to continue. I would like to see Negan on the ground at Maggie\u2019s feet and I\u2019d like to see Rosita die. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Raylene: \u00a0I am hoping to see the Whispers possibly the season finale<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eric: \u00a0I am interested to see where this season goes.
