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

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0Rick\u2019s car chase with Negan was the silliest thing in the Walking Dead since _______?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    Bob: \u00a0Glenn survived underneath a garbage can. \u00a0<\/span>(I figured somebody had to take one of my 2 answers. \u00a0I could probably provide 17 of them, but this is one that always sticks out because there is actually evidence that I painstakingly gathered to prove that they filmed it poorly just to be like \u201cHahaha, gotcha!\u201d)<\/b><\/p>\n

    Bitty: \u00a0Maggie having a teeny tiny baby. <\/span>(I think Herschel will be a good sized 3 year old coming straight out of her baby cannon.)<\/b><\/p>\n

    Kristi: \u00a0Killing off Carl. Cooorrraaalll! \u00a0<\/span>(If you take it literally, Coral\u2019s death was the last BIG silly moment, and one that still makes me want to don my Jigsaw mask and play some games.)<\/b><\/p>\n

    Chris: \u00a0Casting Tara. <\/span>(I read this the day you wrote it, and I laughed. \u00a0I came back a day or two later, forget this, and I laughed again. \u00a0This is one of the most brilliant responses in this blog\u2019s history. \u00a0Kudos, and a gold star.)<\/b><\/p>\n

    Kent: \u00a0I could write an essay about it. \u00a0One of the 5 biggest badasses getting bit earlier in the season, but Rick is just tossing them around this week and seemingly every week when him and Michonne are doing silly shit. \u00a0So many Rick and Michonne scenes, the \u201cin the nick of time\u201d scenes that they have been employing lately. But I want to take you back to season 5. Daryl and Carol saw the car and were looking for Beth. \u00a0They get in an ambulance. I have not edited these photos, they are in chronological order as seen in the episode. Physics are a hell of a thing and this along with Glenn were the only 2 instances that made me so crazy that I had to go frame by frame and screenshot. \u00a0Also, never forget Herschel\u2019s unlimited ammo in season 2 finale.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \u00a0Did you feel a little uncomfortable with Rick wielding Lucille?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Bob: \u00a0actually, I did. \u00a0I felt uneasy like something was just out of balance. \u00a0Why would Rick sleep with another man\u2019s wife? I was wondering if he might accidentally prick his hand on the barbs. \u00a0<\/span>(Well, he did sleep with Lori when he came back, and I believe Shane had clearly yelled \u201cClaimed\u201d one night in the tent, so per Joe and the Claimers, rules are rules. \u00a0So Rick is basically a terrible person. And yeah, why would they already have Negan dip Lucille in blood only to have Rick, the one character who can\u2019t die, be the first to wield her unknowingly? \u00a0This was silly itself.)<\/b><\/p>\n

      Bitty: \u00a0That scene was aces. Rick holding her was epic. I wish he had gotten pricked by her or something. At least we know how to push Negan\u2019s buttons now. \u00a0<\/span>(Rick the Prick getting pricked would have been poetic. \u00a0It\u2019s good to show Negan\u2019s weaknesses of sorts. It was a fun role reversal for a bit. \u00a0Had I never seen an episode, I would have wondered if Rick was a bad guy.)<\/b><\/p>\n

      Kristi: \u00a0Yes I did. He didn’t know it was covered in walkers blood so I was concerned he may cut himself. \u00a0<\/span>(But\u2026.but Carl was a visionary and he knows that Rick and Negan will garden someday. \u00a0Carl somehow also knew that Rick would have a cane. Seriously, why is nobody questioning this??? \u00a0How does Carl know that his dad ends up with a cane? Did he read the comics?)<\/b><\/p>\n

      Chris: \u00a0Yes. You don’t take someone\u2019s girl. \u00a0And you certainly don’t light her on fire and start hitting walkers with her. \u00a0What did Negan ever do to Rick to deserve this? Oh wait\u2026 <\/span>(It is kind of funny though to picture Rick picking up a female, lighting her on fire and swinging her at walkers at the most absurd level. \u00a0I like this mental image. Maybe make it Hilary Swank.)<\/b><\/p>\n

      Kent: \u00a0Of course I did, or I wouldn\u2019t have asked the question. \u00a0So now there\u2019s a part of me that hopes Negan captures Michonne and sets her on fire to prove a damn point. \u00a0Make it a bad burning, like when Andrea from TWD got burned alive in Silent Hill. Eugene could rig that up.<\/span><\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \u00a0Does Maggie have a bit of The Governor in her?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

        Bob: \u00a0No. She has angry pregnant lady syndrome. \u00a0<\/span>(I will be so glad when I can stop saying that pregnant lady hormones are a hell of a thing, but this pregnancy is just going on and on and on.)<\/b><\/p>\n

        Bitty: \u00a0I hadn\u2019t thought of this until they mentioned it on Talking. I could see that storyline happening only because she is still so bitter. <\/span>(Hypothetically, if we can get Maggie to a point where Governor was during negotiations with Rick right before Herschel gets got, I would be on board. \u00a0Like Simon gets captured and Negan comes to make a deal and Maggie borrows Michonne\u2019s sword and we get a slow-motion clip of Maggie saying NO and beheading Simon, then we could be onto something. \u00a0Until then, nah.)<\/b><\/p>\n

        Kristi: \u00a0I don’t think so. She is just trying to survive and keep her people alive. She made the right choice in the end. <\/span>(Until we learn that Georgie is the next big bad evil after the next big bad evil thing. \u00a0I still struggle to believe that we will make it that far on the show though.)<\/b><\/p>\n

        Chris: \u00a0She just needs an eye patch. \u00a0In all seriousness, I think there is the potential for her to snap like the Governor, but I think she is inherently a good person. \u00a0She has been through a lot, so I couldn’t blame her for becoming a ruthless dictator, but she has people with her to keep it from happening. \u00a0<\/span>(Yeah, even if Jesus wouldn\u2019t roundhouse some sense into her, Morgan and Carol would shut that shit down if they saw her change too much. \u00a0By the way, I really want to do a couples fight to the death tournament. Rick\/Michonne, Carol\/Morgan, Tara\/Denise hahaha, Daryl\/Beth, Carl\/Enid, Abe\/Rosita, Shane\/Lori, Governor\/Andrea, etc.)<\/b><\/p>\n

        Kent: \u00a0Nope, Maggie isn\u2019t smart like the Governor in that capacity. \u00a0She is very good at manipulation, but Governor was good at manipulation, but also had a plan. \u00a0He had a scientist working on make a better tomorrow and to learn about current threats. Governor had a plan that was still the best. \u00a0He just didn\u2019t have the right people supporting him. Maggie has the better supporting cast, but she doesn\u2019t have the foresight. She also doesn\u2019t have the supplies in all fairness. <\/span><\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. \u00a0Are you relieved that Rick and Daryl appear to be on the same page again?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          \"\"<\/p>\n

          Bob: \u00a0Meh. I am not terribly impressed with all the guilt riding on Daryl. \u00a0<\/span>(I think whoever wears the vest ends up feeling guilty forever.)<\/b><\/p>\n

          Bitty: \u00a0That was a real awkward bro moment. I don\u2019t think we\u2019ve heard Daryl talk that much in awhile but I honestly don\u2019t think it worked with his character. A simple nod or should pat would\u2019ve been sufficient and more \u2018Daryl\u2019. <\/span>(Yeah, Daryl is a guy that opens up to Carol and Beth and that is it. \u00a0Not a fan of this scene.)<\/b><\/p>\n

          Kristi: \u00a0It really wasn’t a concern for me in the first place so I feel no different. \u00a0<\/span>(Yeah, most people didn\u2019t give a damn, but here we are having this conversation because they impose it\u2019s importance.)<\/b><\/p>\n

          Chris: \u00a0The Daryl\/Rick thing didn’t interest me in the first place. \u00a0Daryl has surprisingly felt like an afterthought to me this season. \u00a0At least they didn’t hug it out. <\/span>(Daryl is going to have a big season next year I think. \u00a0That or his riding with Norman Reedus show will suffer. Actually, he\u2019s better in that show than he is in TWD, ha.)<\/b><\/p>\n

          Kent: \u00a0Wow, I thought somebody would have cared, but everybody seems to give as many F\u2019s as I do, and that would be zero. \u00a0I may have to listen to Easy Street now to feel more enthused finishing this blog.<\/span><\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

            \n
          1. \u00a0We know that Jesus is out scavenging. \u00a0Will we get any updates on his character, or will he just show up to save the day randomly?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Bob: \u00a0I forgot about him. \u00a0I think we will get an update maybe with a new group connection? ORRRR he will show up as a prisoner. \u00a0<\/span>(I definitely thought about him being a prisoner. \u00a0I don\u2019t think it will happen due to time constraints, but it was something I thought of.)<\/b><\/p>\n

            Bitty: \u00a0Who\u2019s Jesus again? Oh right, one of the really awesome characters that we never see anymore. Maybe he\u2019s chilled on the beach with Oceanside. <\/span>(I don\u2019t think you are that far off with Oceanside. \u00a0I\u2019ll explain in my answer.)<\/b><\/p>\n

            Kristi: \u00a0I also forgot about him! I think he will show up with some more survivors to join the group. After all, these people being taken out, they need to start adding some fresh characters. \u00a0<\/span>(Entirely possible that he found a group of Red Shirts that Negan had bullied or some nonsense. \u00a0Otherwise, a fresh group wouldn\u2019t just join\u2026..oh wait, it\u2019s TWD\u2026.my bad.)<\/b><\/p>\n

            Chris: \u00a0I think he will show up to help fight the Saviors. \u00a0I forgot about him to be honest.<\/span>(Doesn\u2019t this just scream a TWD moment of extreme convenience of him showing up at the exact right moment?)<\/b><\/p>\n

            Kent: \u00a0Notice that 3 of the 4 people above me had forgotten about this beloved character. \u00a0Odd right? I have my theories. Obviously, he could have found Heath. That would be best case scenario and therefore least likely. \u00a0I miss Heath. Here is my best guess. He\u2019s either showing up at the moment that they need him most or think about this. Jesus finds Aaron in some capacity. \u00a0Maybe he is a prisoner of Oceanside, or maybe he meets Aaron by happenstance. Let\u2019s face it, they have 2 gay male characters. Like they ain\u2019t gonna make that shit happen.<\/span><\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

              \n
            1. \u00a0Should Dwight have tried to take out Simon when they were alone?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              \"\"<\/p>\n

              Bob: \u00a0Not at all. \u00a0He is very afraid right now. \u00a0In other words he is all good but the carpet could be pulled out from underneath him at any moment. \u00a0<\/span>(It\u2019s interesting that Dwight is in some ways one of the most vulnerable and most powerful characters at the moment. \u00a0He\u2019s playing the long game and taking calculated risks.)<\/b><\/p>\n

              Bitty: \u00a0No, Dwight is still trying to figure out the right angle. Plus I think he thought that Simon would just pick up roots and leave. Not kill everyone first. \u00a0<\/span>(Simon did mislead him to an extent, and that\u2019s why Simon is the man. \u00a0The man who is going to die very soon, but still the man.)<\/b><\/p>\n

              Kristi: If he knew what he did to the garbage people, I think he may have. I think he was hoping he had some good in him. <\/span>(Interesting take. \u00a0If he knows about the Scavengers, does Dwight buy into any of Simon\u2019s rhetoric? \u00a0I doubt it. I hadn\u2019t considered that aspect.)<\/b><\/p>\n

              Chris: \u00a0Perhaps, but it was also risky. \u00a0He\u2019s still undercover, and there was the potential Negan was nearby. \u00a0Plus Simon is a badass. I’m not sure he can beat someone with that kind of mustache. <\/span>(The fear factor of Negan being nearby was my initial thought. \u00a0I did wonder though, if Negan witnessed it, would Dwight have felt any repercussions from Negan? \u00a0Also, and I was going to include this in my answer, but I think people underestimate Simon\u2019s toughness. \u00a0I think he is a scrappy, dirty fighter that is tough to kill.)<\/b><\/p>\n

              Kent: \u00a0Spoiler alert if you haven\u2019t seen last season\u2019s Game of Thrones and that potentially matters to you, skip my response. \u00a0Okay, so remember when Jaime made the decision that he had to try to kill Dany when he had that opportunity, despite Drogon being there? \u00a0Not many people agreed with me, but I felt that he had to take that chance to kill her, no matter how small his odds were because he may never get another shot at winning the war for his side. \u00a0In this case, I think Dwight should have gone for the kill. Negan was assumed injured, escaped, and hiding, or potentially dead. That leaves Dwight and Simon as the top dogs. Dwight wants to end this war. \u00a0With one 50\/50 chance, he can be the hero. You\u2019re damn right he should have taken that chance because then he is way more in control of his destiny than in any other scenario. In the ZA, being in charge of your destiny as much as possible is incredibly important. \u00a0He should have taken that chance in my opinion to end it all. <\/span><\/p>\n

               <\/p>\n

                \n
              1. \u00a0Did you want Maggie to trust Georgie?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                \"\"<\/p>\n

                Bob: \u00a0Yes. For a bad reason. I like Jane Atkinson. \u00a0<\/span>(Yeah, I know that she has been in a few things that you are a fan of, so I assumed you would be pleased.)<\/b><\/p>\n

                Bitty: \u00a0Yes!! I\u2019m a huge Criminal Minds fan am so happy to see her join the cast. I hope we see more of her. She\u2019s a cross between Deanna and Dale for me so far. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>(I miss Deanna and I have never seen Criminal Minds.)<\/b><\/p>\n

                Kristi: \u00a0I did. Although she seemed odd to me, I thought try to keep her captive was a bit extreme. I understand they had food that could help them, but she willingly met so I didn’t feel threatened by her. It was nice to see someone do something nice for a change. <\/span>(It is refreshing to see, what appears to be an act of kindness. \u00a0That would be the third one this season, at least. Carl saving Siddiq, and Oceanside allowing Enid and Aaron to leave unharmed were 2 others.)<\/b><\/p>\n

                Chris: \u00a0This whole part was odd to me, but yes I did want her to trust Georgie. \u00a0They need someone to break all the tension. I’m excited to see where it leads. \u00a0<\/span>(You\u2019re right. \u00a0A character like this adds intrigue and a bit of lightheartedness briefly. \u00a0I bet her and Bob Stuckey would have gotten along well.)<\/b><\/p>\n

                Kent: \u00a0I am split on this. \u00a0I really spent time thinking on this. \u00a0In a way, I think the right thing would have been to do as Maggie initially did. \u00a0Her people needed the food and they have been tricked or misled so many times, Terminus happened people, so in my mind, I wanted Tobin and Kent to be fed, so I wanted Maggie to keep everything. \u00a0But here is why I am glad she did what she did, and it is for a dickheaded reason. The last thing I need is two or more female characters having drama between them in a show that I am partial to. \u00a0Imagine how irritating Michonne and Maggie would have been had Maggie just took the food? We got a glimpse of that annoying \u201cWe\u2019re women, we can discuss things through\u201d bullshit. Here\u2019s the reality, they would have been catty as hell if Maggie didn\u2019t agree with Michonne\u2019s perspective and it would have devolved. \u00a0We all remember Queen Bee Lori at Herschel\u2019s. Was I not supposed to remember that?<\/span><\/p>\n

                 <\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. \u00a0Is Georgie trustworthy and will we see her again?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  \"\"<\/p>\n

                  Bob: \u00a0I bet she is and I can’t believe we won’t see her again.<\/span><\/p>\n

                  Bitty: \u00a0again, yes and I hope we do!<\/span><\/p>\n

                  Kristi: Yes. I don’t believe she would have given her the book of the future if she had malicious intentions. I do believe we will see her in the future. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                  Chris: \u00a0Yes and yes. \u00a0Though I’m guessing not again til next season.<\/span><\/p>\n

                  Kent: \u00a0Wow, nobody said no. \u00a0What is wrong with you people (or me if I am wrong…damnit)? \u00a0I truly believe that Georgie is one of the smartest characters on this show. \u00a0She may be nice to her people and strangers, but she has had to rule and in the ZA, you know that she will clash with Maggie and Rick. \u00a0Make no mistake about it, I think people are buying into an act. That\u2019s a good thing because it adds intrigue either way. I am just skeptical all the time.<\/span><\/p>\n

                   <\/p>\n

                    \n
                  1. \u00a0What will Jadis do with Negan?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                    Bob: \u00a0\u201cMate\u201d with him. \u00a0<\/span>(I don\u2019t know man. I don\u2019t think they are going to be that good of friends. \u00a0I do want this to happen though in a very weird way.)<\/b><\/p>\n

                    Bitty: \u00a0Paint him. Ha! Actually thinking she will trade him for Simon. However, at this point, Negan wants Simon dead so I\u2019m sure so this will be a weird twist. <\/span>(Yeah, the double cross could be a fascinating plot point that I could enjoy. \u00a0I accept that Simon is dyingm\u00a0unfortunately.)<\/b><\/p>\n

                    Kristi: \u00a0I’m following my last comment that Negan will let her take Simon out. Once she realizes that Negan didn’t know what happened they will bond in a sense. I need this to happen. <\/span>(Yes, when I saw the Jadis scene, I remembered your comment from before.)<\/b><\/p>\n

                    Chris: \u00a0I’ve been wondering. \u00a0My first thought was to give him to Rick. \u00a0However, I think she will try and make a trade to get to who she really wants, Simon. \u00a0<\/span>(Yeah, Rick can sit this one out.)<\/b><\/p>\n

                    Kent: \u00a0I don\u2019t see any other good stories that doesn\u2019t involve using Negan as a bargaining chip to get to Simon. \u00a0More importantly, what will come of Jadis after her vengeance?<\/span><\/p>\n

                     <\/p>\n

                    Bonus Deuce<\/strong><\/p>\n

                      \n
                    1. \u00a0Would the Saviors be better off with Simon running them as opposed to Negan?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                      \"\"<\/p>\n

                      Bob: \u00a0No. Simon is a believer in Torched Earth. \u00a0That’s not good for anyone.<\/span><\/p>\n

                      Bitty: \u00a0Hell no. The Saviors should keep Negan if they at all can. Simon is power hungry and doesn\u2019t see the \u201chelping people\u201d side of things. <\/span><\/p>\n

                      Kristi: \u00a0No. Simon is more power hungry than Negan. I will be happy to see him go. <\/span><\/p>\n

                      Chris: \u00a0I have a feeling we will get our answer next week. \u00a0I think Simon’s time as leader will be short.<\/span><\/p>\n

                      Kent: \u00a0Nobody is taking the bait this week. \u00a0Negan is actually the best leader that we have had in this show, for better or worse.<\/span><\/p>\n

                      \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

                       <\/p>\n

                        \n
                      1. \u00a0I know that this topic comes up a lot, but it is always evolving. \u00a0In principle, do you find yourself more on Rick\u2019s side or Negan\u2019s as far as what they are trying to accomplish and the methods that they are utilizing?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

                        Bob: \u00a0I find myself not really knowing what Rick stands for anymore. Negan I can still see so even though I don’t agree with it, it is better than chaos. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>(I think that is the big takeaway this season. \u00a0When Rick is focused and has a good plan and good control, he\u2019s fine, but how often has that truly been? \u00a0We got used to how he did things, but a lot of the time, it\u2019s been reckless.)<\/b><\/p>\n

                        Bitty: \u00a0This question was an easy\u2026 Rick\u2026 for me, LAST season. However this season I\u2019m slowly going over to the dark side. I wish he hadn\u2019t killed, Glen or Abe or terrorized Rick and humiliated Daryl but his thought process is growing on me. I wish we knew a little more about the workers and their system. They have so many people and Ricks group have so few. He must\u2019ve been done something right. <\/span>(Yeah, while we want to believe that Negan leads everyone by fear, and he does to an extent, I truly believe that if you gave the Saviors an out, I think most would stay. \u00a0That tells me something. Dwight wants out because of Sherry. Other people would also leave if given the chance, I am sure. It\u2019s not like people haven\u2019t left Rick\u2019s group or ideology.)<\/b><\/p>\n

                        Chris: \u00a0What is Rick trying to accomplish exactly? He’s not very good at killing Negan (we\u2019re talking stormtrooper aim.) \u00a0Rick\u2019s answer seems like it’s always killing. He’s angry about Carl, which Negan didn’t have anything to do with. \u00a0Plus he always wants everyone else to stick to the plan, then goes off on his own. I’m not either side. Negan is a psycho and Rick never has a plan that works. \u00a0Go team Maggie! <\/span>(If that last word was Ezekiel, I would like it more, haha. \u00a0Like, the leaders are supposed to be the smart ones, the ones who are best prepared. \u00a0This episode was practically a comedy at times. Maggie is at least accomplishing something at the moment, and has the best place. \u00a0The Kingdom is a decent fallback. It\u2019s in better shape that Alexandria, The Dump, and Oceanside.)<\/b><\/p>\n

                        Kent: \u00a0Negan is the answer. \u00a0Everybody has a directive. \u00a0Everybody has and serves a purpose. \u00a0The plan is to be executed. When people veer off of that path, there are repercussions. \u00a0Negan teaches accountability Millennials would hate working with Negan. Rick has punished one whole person, and that is when he gave Carol the boot, one of the most loyal people, who did the right thing. \u00a0Rick is not that great of a leader. I feel that for every triumph you can offer, I can come back with more failures, more disobedience. And as Chris said, why the hell was his aim so off this week?<\/span><\/p>\n

                        Final Thoughts – Also, hey did you know that only women can solve things peacefully while men are barbaric in solving issues? \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n

                        Bitty: \u00a0Can someone fill me in on where I missed the solar panels and helipad? Also I was reading on another WD blog a theory that Georgie may live under ground. I thought this was a cool theory especially since those twins were all cover up with brim hats and sun glasses, like they hadn\u2019t seen the sun in a long time. \u00a0<\/span>(Simon mentioned the solar panels and helipad last episode or the one before it I think. \u00a0I may have the wrong person, but it was brought up. I like the idea of underground Georgie. \u00a0It would be smart.)<\/b><\/p>\n

                        Chris: \u00a0I enjoyed this episode. \u00a0I’ve always loved Maggie’s character, and I was happy to see some focus on her. \u00a0I think Simon is going to bite the dust next week, but I’m wondering who will get to kill him. <\/span>(Simon has to die within the next 2 episodes it seems.)<\/b><\/p>\n

                        Kent: \u00a0I liked this week. \u00a0This second half of the season is proving superior to the first half, in my opinion. \u00a0I would like to see more Eugene, Gabriel, Carol, Morgan, Negan, Jadis, Simon, and Dwight this week. \u00a0Give me half of those and I will be happy.<\/span><\/p>\n
