One guy at Twitter, mirroring what everyone is saying here...
No one heard a Walker fall down a flight of stairs?
-No lookouts after a major battle?
-That kid couldn't just shoot through the gate?
-Everyone sleeping in the house slumberparty style?
-Who was watching the prisoners?
Back to the Gimple days

All I know is Walking Dead is still following it's basic formula
Make a cliff hanger for last week .... and then follow up the following week not even referring to it.
People tune in to see what going to happen to Negan and the first thing we see is Morgan having boring Rick style Season-3 style visions.
Also, they bump off annoying kid just to push a new one up to main cast from a secondary character ?
They need to cut out all the soap opera sub plots and focus on maybe 2 main plotsComment

I had the feeling that they ditched Negan for a few eps and gave some of his speeches to Simon. Yeah, I know, he is "Negan", but please, no more speeches.
Plenty of dumb moves in this one, again, but at least the walkers got some of the action. Which was a welcome relief from all the human psychology sessions.
I tried to watch is as a simplistic "monster on the loose" kind of story, and had some fun with that.
When the kid opened the gate, I thought "Carl Lives!!!!"
When the walker fell down the stairs, I was reminded of one of Homer Simpson's falls. Doh...doh...doh....

Wow, they really seem to be setting up Negan for some big redemption episode...last night he was so nice it was creepy. And Rick is acting more Negan than Negan was.Comment

It’s official...Rick needs to go. He has turned into an evil mothefer. Dude has no honor, no honor. Man of his word does not apply to him anymore. Instead of listening to his late son’s pleas...he became a lying weaseling murderer. How can audiences root for this dude now? Most of the runaway Saviours wanted to listen to Rick, except for one. One guy saves Rick from his fellow Saviour’s gun, then frees him (as Rick promises him welcome path to his camp). Then after a Walker is about to bite Rick, that Savior saves him. What does Rick do? He hatches him, mortally wounding him...then places a bullet on his head.
What kinda heroic human being is that? Johnystorm called it, Negan is now by far the more sympathetic character.
The whole point of watching is to root for characters. Well, that went out the window with Rick...I want him gone now.
There are lots of sites and fans angry at Rick. I’m posting one here...
Get rid of Rick or the entire bloody show...sigpicComment

It's stupid that Negan hasn't been killed yet, even though he has been in the perfect position to perish several times, nobody can pull it off. Stupid...Comment

I'm trying to think of an early instance of when it became the cool thing to do to blur the lines between the good guys and the bad guys. Seems like in comics, it was Miller's The Dark Knight or maybe Wolverine was already there... Can't remember.
But at least there were lines that the good guys wouldn't cross. There was honor there somewhere. Now, it seems like it's in vogue to show no distinction between the good guys and the bad guys. Yes, that may be a mature way to see the world these days, but for entertainment, I kind of like rooting for some ideal.
This nihilism phase in entertainment drains me. No wonder I keep going back to the old stuff.Comment

Negan's stupid bat(/girlfriend) should have had more damage from being burned, I would think. It just looked kinda dirty, not like it had been burning at all. And the barbed wire should have been blackened from the flames.Comment

That’s the least of my gripes.
How about...
*Fuel never goes bad
*Car batteries always work
*Tires never deflate
*Everyone has pretty white teeth
*No one really runs outta bullets (they say they do, but not really)
*None seem to come to a logical conclusion to travel far north, where it freezes...they could all rest for a few months outta the year, or if they get bored, start impaling frozen Walkers’ heads
*Maggie has been pregnant for it seems like years, lol
*Walkers, despite rotting flesh and loss of muscles, somehow still have force to bite down
*Seems like electricity is no problem, everyone has light
*Canned food has no expiration date in this world
*Funny how these inept people managed to survive, but not armed forces, Navy Seals, Delta Force, Green Berets, etc...for they were highly skilled, trained, and actually knew how to tactically fight with controlled shooting bursts...unlike these idiots who waste bullets like imbeciles, lol
...and on, and on...and on...

Remember, when last week I said the writing had improved somewhat?
Boy, was I wrong!
I'd like to nominate the scenes with Negan and everybody's favorite Garbage Queen as the worst I've ever seen. I mean, even Ed Wood would be turning in his grave. She handed him every means of escape on a silver platter. A gun, her precious photos, a moving trolley, inept binding material. Who writes this stuff? Somebody intent on annoying the viewer? A sociopath? Somebody who actually hates TWD? Come on, I was tearing my hair out, and I have so little left...
And now, seriously, I have to stand by Rick on this one. For years, we have been wanting our gang to toughen up and kill the Saviors. "You can't trust them, kill them all!"
And now it has happened, Rick has finally had enough. They caused his son to be killed. They killed so many friends. I can understand that Rick goes Terminator. These people stood by Negan for years, accepted his brutalities. Allowed them to happen. They had guns, Negan just has a bat, and they let him get away with it. All it would have taken is ONE bullet.
I have disagreed with Rick on so many occasions, he's not my favorite character at all, but this move made sense. Practically, psychologically, emotionally. I know it was brutal, but sometimes that is the only option. I wouldn't have kept the Saviors in that pen, giving them food. I would have eliminated that gang of sociopaths immediately.
I thought it was a brave move to have Rick make this decision, and it's the only five minutes in that whole episode that made sense to me.
With this "I loved my wife Lucille, I named a torture device after her", I fear that we are moving towards "let's pick strawberries together". Love and understanding. Wouldn't that be hilarious? After all that has happened? Kind of says "you should forgive anything". Not my kind of thing....
