The Walking Dead S7 Ep7 \u201cSing Me A Song\u201d<\/p>\n

Welcome ladies and gents to the only Walking Dead themed blog utilizing a 9 Deuce gimmick. \u00a0Finally, we really got to delve into Carl and Negan’s relationship, and it was fantastic. \u00a0We are all a little more upbeat after last week’s caTARAstrophe. \u00a0I am joined by the esteemed panel made up of Raylene, Cece, Bob, Briana, Bits, and Kristi. \u00a0I am your host, Kent, and if you see anything written in\u00a0bold<\/strong>, rest assured it is me making some comment. \u00a0Let’s get this party started!<\/p>\n

On a side note, a new blog will be debuting this Saturday, so please keep your eyes out for it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What do you expect Rick and Aaron to find, providing that they make it to Leslie\u2019s place?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Raylene:\u00a0 They will find guns, ammo, more food, and an underground bomb shelter. \u00a0(The bomb shelter is a nice touch.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Cece: \u00a0A dead woman. \u00a0(That’s the hope and the dream.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Bob: \u00a0Guns.\u00a0 And hopefully something new as it pertains to weaponry. \u00a0(Now I am curious what you have in mind.)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Briana: \u00a0Of course they’ll find the usual, food, some guns, ammo. Since Negan will be there waiting when they get back, unexpectedly as he is, it’ll probably be the mother load so they can watch it all be taken away… again!\u00a0(But if you are correct, would Rick be smart enough to hide the guns this time around?)<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Bits: First of all did I miss something? How did they know this place existed and why hadn’t they tried to work with this area before? And I mean really a boat full of holes? It would seem to me that Negan would’ve already taken everything from this person and place.\u00a0(One thing that Negan doesn’t really do is have a Eugene. \u00a0He doesn’t seem to keep many intellectuals, he has a lot of grunts. \u00a0Eugene is smart enough to map things out and keep a running record of the ground that has been covered. \u00a0Negan’s men don’t seem terribly interested in scouting, but rather getting other places to do that work.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Kristi: I’m hopeful that they are about to find an arsenal in there. They need to start preparing for war.<\/p>\n

    Kent: \u00a0Are they going to find much? \u00a0It’s been built up, and they have to come back with something, right? \u00a0I think that they find some weapons, hide them, and bring back some other random stuff for Negan. \u00a0I also am unsure if it will be enough to satiate Negan.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Should Carl keep the bandage on or off? Give me a yes or a no, and not a whatever he feels like or maybe response.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

      Raylene:\u00a0 Once it heals up completely Carl should leave the bandage off he looks more menacing that way.<\/p>\n

      Cece: \u00a0Off. It does make him look a bit badass.<\/p>\n

      Bob: \u00a0Off.\u00a0 It is badass and will always give others a moment of reflection and fear.<\/p>\n

      Briana: \u00a0I think Negan has a point with the bad ass thing! I say keep it off! It’s seriously gnarly!<\/p>\n

      Bits: No.\u00a0 He should keep it on but def get an eye patch!\u00a0(You get a comment for being the contrarian. \u00a0Eye patches kick ass, less we forget the great Governor.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Kristi: Keep it off! I like crazy Carl \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

      Kent: \u00a0I am guessing that it is not fully healed. \u00a0I’d be afraid of getting some walker particles in there. \u00a0And then what? \u00a0You can really cut it out. \u00a0Play it safe until you are sure it is healed, and then I’d cut the hair some so it is very visible to those who affront him.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. In theory, who has the best chance and or better plan to attack Negan: Michonne or Rosita?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

        Raylene:\u00a0 Michonne is a better fighter then Rosita but going into Negan’s turf she won’t be successful to get at Negan. It should be done from long range so perhaps that’s Rosita’s plan.<\/p>\n

        Cece: \u00a0Definitely not Rosita. She’s too overzealous about things. She’s trying to go in guns blazing. It just won’t work. \u00a0(While that is true, how stealthy can one be when the Saviors have a secure perimeter? \u00a0I don’t think that there is a right or wrong answer per se, I am still unsure about stealthiness helping you unless you are Jesus.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

        Bob: \u00a0Rosita has a better plan because she is going to wait for an opportunity or create one.\u00a0 Michonne may have a better chance though since she is going all out to get to Negan.\u00a0(That kinda sums up my thoughts. \u00a0Both have opportunities, so it does come down to the plan.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

        Briana: \u00a0I think they’re both stupid! Do none of these people realize they can’t take him out one person at a time? They’re just asking to be picked off one by one! United is the only way to take him out! However, for the sake of the question, I’m gonna go with Michonne! One bullet for a pistol or a samurai sword, a pistol, and a hostage. I’m taking the sword! \u00a0(You bring up a great point. \u00a0Consider Merle’s attempt on the Governor. \u00a0Merle had training and was way more skilled for this than either Rosita or Michonne. \u00a0He had ammo and still failed while dealing with way fewer obstacles. The only realistic way is to have a sniper like they do in Sasha, or do to a suicide bombing style mission. \u00a0Which…….I shouldn’t say anything more.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

        Bits: Michonne has the drive more than Rosita. I think Rosita is an emotional mess and a mean girl.\u00a0 Michonne has skill, knows how to conceal her emotions and was a bad ass with the Governor and can do it again. \u00a0(I absolutely would have bet my left testicle that you would go with Michonne. \u00a0Good ole lefty! \u00a0In a case like this, is skill more important than a risk taker?)<\/strong><\/p>\n

        Kristi: I want to go with Michonne because she is my favorite but I have a feeling Rosita is about to F some stuff upon. I feel like she has endured more at the hands of Negan.\u00a0(Rosita has a combination of crazy eyes and “Little Man Syndrome” with a dash of the “Why Me’s” working out for her at the moment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

        Kent: \u00a0I have to respectfully go with Rosita. \u00a0Michonne isn’t accurate with a gun, so even if she ascertains some guns along the way, they are somewhat useless to her. \u00a0We all love her sword, but the sword will lose a fight in Sanctuary. \u00a0Rosita not only has gun skills, but she is running on some crazy adrenaline and drive at the moment. \u00a0Like she doesn’t believe that Kevin Bacon was in Footloose level of stubbornness. Still, a solo gunner can’t be the answer. \u00a0A suicide run is, and at the moment, Michonne is more calculated. \u00a0If the idea pops into Rosita’s mind to simply get a big vehicle and just smash into Sanctuary, that can cause all kinds of issues. \u00a0Also, I hate to say it, but Tara is still in play potentially, although not part of the question.<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

          \n
        1. What do you think Jesus is doing?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

          Raylene:\u00a0 Jesus is in Sanctuary trying to remain undetected to see where Negan lives and how his operation works.<\/p>\n

          Cece: \u00a0Infiltrating somehow.<\/p>\n

          Bob: \u00a0I think he is observing and infiltrating at this moment.\u00a0 I don’t think he has tried to free Daryl.\u00a0 I feel like the boot thuds leaving Daryl’s door are very un-ninja like.\u00a0(I felt that note was left by Sherry or Dr Carson.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

          Briana: \u00a0I assume he got in the back of the truck through the vent on the roof to hitch a ride back to Alexandria! That’s the only thing that made sense to me for that little clip of him we got. On a side note, I was disappointed he wasn’t in more of this episode! I was looking forward to more Jesus!\u00a0(I’m on board with everything that you said here. \u00a0More Jesus would have been nice.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

          Bits: Jesus is being Jesus. He is a sneaky bad ass and is planning to help break out Daryl and keep and “eye” on Carl… see what I did there! In the words of Vanilla Ice.. GO NINJA GO NINJA GO! \u00a0(Pandering to my senses will get you everywhere, and Vanilla Ice does exactly that. \u00a0I don’t think he is going to break Daryl out though, but I can see him attempting that feat.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

          Kristi: I think Jesus is going to help Darryl and get some intel for the group.<\/p>\n

          Kent: I’m enjoying reading words like infiltrating and intel, and Go Ninja Go. \u00a0I honestly believe that Jesus bailed. \u00a0He came to get a specific bit of info, and he is either heading back to Alexandria, or my guess is that he is simply heading back to the Hilltop. Yes, that is boring, but who’s to say that he can’t have an adventure along the way?<\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Should Eugene have made the bullet for Rosita, considering all the possible outcomes?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

            Raylene:\u00a0 No he shouldn’t have made the bullet because when she screws the shot up which she will it will not be her that gets the punishment and Eugene knows this.<\/p>\n

            Cece: \u00a0No. As mentioned before, she’s not going about things the right way.<\/p>\n

            Bob: \u00a0No.\u00a0 Negan will somehow know that Rosita didn’t make the bullet so more people are going to die.\u00a0 Rosita will be a wife or go to the “whore house” place.<\/p>\n

            Briana: \u00a0I think he had to do it for her because it’s her and they have this bond over Abe and his death meant so much to both of them. But do I think it will have a productive outcome? No I don’t lol<\/p>\n

            Bits: Should he have made the bullet for Rositsa… No.\u00a0 Should he have made a bullet to prove that he is capable… Yes.\u00a0 He has big ideas.<\/p>\n

            Kristi: Hell yes he should have made the bullet! He needs to step up his game and grow a pair. His best friend was just murdered in front of him and hes too scared to do anything. Time to get off your add and be of some help to the group! \u00a0(You were my last hope to have somebody wholeheartedly agree. \u00a0You are the “gung ho Al” of the group, so this is no surprise. \u00a0You want shit done. \u00a0Still, I would be remiss\u00a0to not mention that you are severely\u00a0underselling Eugene.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

            Kent: \u00a0The answer is not easy. \u00a0Negan likes to be challenged, but only by certain people. \u00a0Carl can get away with it, but Rosita may not. \u00a0With that comes repercussions of the bashed in skull variety. Still, I get that Eugene has that bond and he has loyalty to Rosita despite a lot of issues. Desperate times call for desperate measures. \u00a0if you have faith that this crazy bitch can make a positive difference, then I say you take that chance. \u00a0Otherwise, you say no. \u00a0I feel like I would have taken a chance based on all of my decision making in every video game that I have ever played. \u00a0My motto is: If you ain’t dyin, you ain’t tryin’.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Favorite scene of the episode?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

              Raylene:\u00a0 When Negan said really your starving then immediately gives a insincere apologize to Olivia and offers to have sex with her. \u00a0(It really was a treat.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

              Cece: \u00a0When Carl shows Negan the ‘grand tour’ of Alexandria. \u00a0(It was nice to have some levity.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

              Bob:\u00a0 Negan holding Rick’s baby. Haha, I laughed all the way through this whole episode but that was the cream. \u00a0(What a great visual. \u00a0We never get that in the comic because Judith dies in the prison. \u00a0So this is all a nice new story possibility, and the music, it was tremendous.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

              Briana: \u00a0When Carl told Negan to jump out of the window to save him the trouble of killing him! I laughed out in surprise when he said that! Loved it! \u00a0(I laughed as well. \u00a0Really funny stuff.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

              Bits: The moment when Daryl looks up at the top of the truck as it pulls away.\u00a0 I made some shout out loud… \u00a0(I can totally envision this in my head happening. \u00a0It makes me laugh.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

              Kristi : When Negan brought Carl into the room to show him the power he had over his people. I know he is an ass but it was slightly impressive.\u00a0(It was nice to see power and respect that Negan has. \u00a0It added perspective to everything.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

              Kent: I’m going to cheat and offer 2, because I can. \u00a01. Jesus looking at Carl after the wave. \u00a0It was really solid. \u00a02. \u00a0Negan walking barefoot on the carpet. \u00a0I have no idea why this made me giggle so much, but the whole thing was the nice moment of levity compared to the rest of this season. \u00a0Also, there was a Kent sighting for a second!!!<\/p>\n

               <\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Is Spencer an asset to Alexandria? Also, would Spencer be better off living someplace other than Alexandria?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

                Raylene:\u00a0 No Spencer is not an asset he’d be better off dead.<\/p>\n

                Cece: \u00a0Hell no. He’s annoying, clumsy and gets in the way. He can live anywhere else as far as I’m concerned.<\/p>\n

                Bob: \u00a0He is an asset because he still wants to be free.\u00a0 He is good right at Alexandria.\u00a0(I am just happy that there’s one person who concurs with me.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

                Briana: \u00a0I really wanted to like Spencer. His family were such remarkable people and losing them really sucked because they were such great assets to Alexandria. But let’s face it, he was the last person of them that should have lived! He’s a total moron, he’s entitled like no other, he’s selfish, and he doesn’t actually do anything at all that gives him the right to have the ego he has! Would he be better off somewhere else, no. He doesn’t belong in this world. He only made it this far because of the fact that he lived in Alexandria. Ok I’ll hop off my soap box now!\u00a0(Wellllll, I will say that Reg and Deanna are really missed in my opinion. \u00a0They never had to die to move the show forward. \u00a0As a matter of fact, if Pete would have just killed Spencer instead of Reg, that could have been interesting. )<\/strong><\/p>\n

                Bits: I’m still undecided about Spencer.\u00a0 He’s still a pretty lame character to me.\u00a0 I can’t tell right now if he’s still looking out for himself or anyone else.\u00a0 However, I did notice that they made him pretty good looking this episode.\u00a0 Even his clothes are changing… hopefully he’ll get got soon.\u00a0(You get a comment because that he’ll get got. \u00a0Had you said he “gon’ get got” it would have been super sweet.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

                Kristi: I am not a fan of Spencer. I do not feel like he is an asset. I really do not think he would be better off anywhere as his character is really pointless to me.<\/p>\n

                Kent: \u00a0So I admit to asking questions that seemingly have obvious answers that tug on the current emotions. \u00a0This being one of them. \u00a0Yes, on the surface, Spencer is not a terribly likable person. \u00a0But he’s also not necessarily a bad person. \u00a0He brought back more supplies than anybody else has recently, in order to uphold the deal with Negan and buy time. \u00a0That keeps the people of Alexandria alive. \u00a0So when I read all of these comments against him, it feels like you want Negan to kill more Alexandrians. \u00a0Without Spencer busting his ass, Negan would need something in return, aside from Olivia’s sweet ass. While Spencer has shown a spoiled brat aspect to him, he has also not been afraid to get his hands dirty. \u00a0Remember when he was crawling across the rope? \u00a0He didn’t have to do that. \u00a0His attitude may be awful, but I think he actually has good intentions and more importantly the best intentions, in his mind, to help keep Alexandria up and running. \u00a0Does that make him a bad guy? \u00a0I think he would be better off just being a Savior because at least he would move up to a good soldier for Negan if he could curtail his attitude a bit. He’d be better appreciated, that’s for sure. \u00a0Tara comes back with silly novelty sunglasses and gets a pass. \u00a0Spencer goes out on his own, gets a bunch of supplies and reads Latin, gets hated on.<\/p>\n

                 <\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. Were you hoping to hear \u201cEasy Street\u201d when Daryl was placed back in his cell?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JoQ4GidQP-k<\/p>\n

                  Raylene:\u00a0 I was indifferent to hear the song although it wouldn’t have bothered me<\/p>\n

                  Cece: \u00a0Yes. And I’m disappointed I didn’t.<\/p>\n

                  Bob:\u00a0 Nope, I had forgotten.<\/p>\n

                  Briana: \u00a0Surprisingly, yes! How can they put him back in his box without his tunes! Lol!<\/p>\n

                  Bits: Without a doubt.<\/p>\n

                  Kristi: I have actually forgotten about Easy Street, so no.<\/p>\n

                  Kent: \u00a0The responses were fairly split here, to no surprise. \u00a0I love the song, so yes, very disappointed. \u00a0Just remember, when you’re on Easy Street, it feels so sweet because the world is but a treat. \u00a0We get to break out the good champagne while riding the gravy train when you’re on Easy Street. \u00a0I don’t know about you guys, but gravy is F’N awesome!<\/p>\n

                   <\/p>\n

                    \n
                  1. Name another song that you would have enjoyed hearing Carl sing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                    Raylene:\u00a0 The piano has been drinking by Tom Waites\u00a0(Great choice to suck up to me. \u00a0Yes, I would have loved to hear this!)<\/strong><\/p>\n
