Let’s kick off the second half of this lovely 8th season with this blog.\u00a0 When we last talked, I was in a good mood.\u00a0 I haven’t been in a good one since that 7th episode.\u00a0 SO let’s do this!!\u00a0\u00a0Always feel free to leave your own thoughts in the comments section.\u00a0 All messages in\u00a0bold<\/strong> are written by Kent, and I know damn well that some of you just come to read my responses to you.<\/p>\n

The 9<\/span><\/p>\n

  1. \u00a0Let\u2019s start off with the obvious topic. \u00a0What are your thoughts on Enid killing Natania and what repercussions will come from this, in your opinion? \u00a0Speculate away. \u00a0Gold stars will be awarded for funny responses.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Bob: \u00a0Oceanside will now side with the Alexandrians. \u00a0Natania was the only person holding them all back. Nantania\u2019s non-child may have some trust issues with Enid, but\u2026 \u00a0maybe Enid dies as a price to be paid\u2026? \u00a0<\/span>(I don\u2019t know if a price has to be paid. \u00a0I question how many people fully backed Natania. \u00a0I am curious. \u00a0But hey, let\u2019s just kill off all of the young people, why not, right? \u00a0In theory, Enid should be killed.)<\/b><\/p>\n

    Brian: \u00a0another Ricktard move. Now Oceanside will join forces with negan and rule the world. And Enid will be given to negan as a sex slave. <\/span>(Sex slave? \u00a0Is Enid of legal age? \u00a0Okay, she is 18, so this comment gets a gold star!! \u00a0Oceanside is so going to start a social media movement.)<\/b><\/p>\n

    Raylene: \u00a0Well thankfully Natania is dead she wasn\u2019t helping Oceanside they unfortunately needed to make some progress and would have been discovered eventually. \u00a0Enid will be killed by the followers of Natania. \u00a0<\/span>(As I said, if Carl\u2019s dead, Enid serves no purpose sadly.)<\/b><\/p>\n

    Kent: \u00a0If Carl is dead, I can see Enid also getting killed as a penalty. \u00a0Her character hasn\u2019t served much of a reason, only as a potential love interest for Carl. \u00a0With that being said, it never made sense because one of the big reasons that the group has issues with the next big bad group is due to Carl playing the white knight for the leader\u2019s daughter. \u00a0The hope I had was that Oceanside was going to turn into the big bad group, but nah, fuck that. \u00a0I say that they may as well kill her and we find Heath\u2019s dead body nearby.<\/span><\/p>\n

    1. \u00a0Did you feel that this was really the appropriate time for Aaron to have Enid practicing her driving skills?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Bob: \u00a0I mean, really, when is a good time in a word like this? \u00a0I mean, whew, Enid is over 16 so we’re not breaking that law. <\/span>(It\u2019s important not to break the law in the ZA. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0I would think that aside from learning to shoot, kids should be getting driving lessons in these communities. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s a very needed skill. \u00a0How funny would it be to see a kid driving and Officer Friendly pulling them over?)<\/b><\/p>\n

      Brian: \u00a0my first thought was who cares\u2026.. but upon reflection, I believe that it’s a skill that must be learned so why not now. <\/span>(It really is a needed skill to survive, in my opinion.)<\/b><\/p>\n

      Raylene: \u00a0Perhaps Aaron\u2019s exhaustion finally caught up with him and he physically couldn\u2019t drive anymore. \u00a0<\/span>(He needs a Stu Redman from Stewarts. \u00a0For those unfamiliar, Stewarts is a local gas station with food and lots of ice cream and they have their own cans of energy drink. \u00a0We call them Stu Redmans, in honor of Stu from The Stand because his real name is Stewart, played by the great Gary Sinise. \u00a0What the fuck were we talking about again?)<\/b><\/p>\n

      Kent: \u00a0This baffled me in the moment, and actually annoys me even more in hindsight. \u00a0Even if she has to run, she clearly has a better chance of escaping on foot as she is nimble and great at hiding, whereas her trying to escape via car would potentially be a death sentence, that she may be facing in February.<\/span><\/p>\n

      1. \u00a0Ezekiel appears to be in quite the predicament. \u00a0Carol and Morgan are lurking. \u00a0Will he be saved in time, and if so, by whom?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Bob: \u00a0I think he will be saved only to have been mortally wounded. \u00a0Both Carol and Morgan, like Daryl’s\u2019 garbage truck kind of timing. <\/span>(We really need a term for TWD Timing. \u00a0Let\u2019s work on a term. \u00a0That may be a question for this coming week\u2019s blog.)<\/b><\/p>\n

        Brian: \u00a0He will be saved on another last minute totally illogical event and a Morgan king Carol love triangle will develop with a bitter Daryl killing Morgan on hopes to hold on to his trailer park sweetie..<\/span>(Hahaha, another vote of confidence for TWD timing!)<\/b><\/p>\n

        Kristi: \u00a0He will be saved. I see Morgan saving him this time since Carol was his hero last time. <\/span>(Either way, can they play \u201cI Need a Hero\u201d when it happens? \u00a0I don\u2019t ask for much.)<\/b><\/p>\n

        Raylene: First of all Ezekiel put himself in that predicament when he chained himself in with them. I can see him being the other big death. <\/span>(Ezekiel feels similar to Morgan to me. \u00a0He is so much cooler on TV so his character may have greater longevity in the show. \u00a0Of course Carl was way cooler in the show and\u2026…well there went my happiness.)<\/b><\/p>\n

        Kent: \u00a0Well, there is no need for another huge death for a few episodes, especially somebody as beloved as \u00a0Ezekiel. \u00a0With that being said, maybe it happens. \u00a0TWD has a penchant for doing huge deaths one right after the other. \u00a0Think about this. \u00a0There\u2019s Dale & Shane, T Dog & Lori, Andrea & Merle, Herschel & Governor, Lizzie & Mika, Beth & Tyreese, Deanna\/Jessie\/Sam\/Ron, and Abe & Glenn. \u00a0Yeah, there is quite the history there. \u00a0Yikes, I am now convinced that somebody else dies in episode 9. \u00a0I can see both Carol and Morgan do work and set him free. \u00a0I thought the dude who portrays Gavin has done an excellent job in his role and really wish to commend it. \u00a0He nails it in every scene. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        1. \u00a0Ezekiel seemed to be able to move pretty good tonight. \u00a0Do you ever wonder how these people heal so fastly despite the lack of doctors and good first aid and whatnot?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Bob: \u00a0Actually, I really think that you don\u2019t have time to pity yourself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
