***WARNING***
***You may want to stop here.***

***This is not a review. It is just my thoughts as I'm watching the show.***

Remember, I'm just writing what I see and reacting.


Opening with Negan's people looking for Gabriel and the Doctor, and Daryl is leading the rest of the Alexandrians on their way to Hilltop and overhears the Saviors. Tara allows a walker to attack Dwight. The Doctor and Gabriel are trying to figure out how to get to Hilltop. Gabriel is so sick that he can barely see, a walker is slowly creeping up on them, and of course, the car won't crank.

Gabe and he Doctor took care of the Walker, but Gabriel is losing his site and getting sicker, and hearing bells. They find a house. These are some messed up looking walkers tonight. Tara is still wants to kill Dwight. Rosita and Daryl are against. Rosita especially after losing Carl. Morgan, Carl, and Henry have made it to Hilltop. Henry is ready to kill the Savior that killed his brother. Jerry has made it to Hilltop as well. Morgan thinks they should tell Henry which Savior killed his brother. Carol does not agree and thinks Morgan has issues, too. How is it that Maggie is still not showing? Oh, Negan is not happy and is interrogating Eugene. Eugene is still feigning ignorance, even though he asked about Alexandria. He is about make Eugene in charge of an outpost. In this case, the factory to make bullets. He will have access to women and wine. Gabriel is trying to read the post left by the final owner who knew how to work a H.A.M. radio and was trying to reach people. The former owner, however, is tied to his bed surrounded by empty pill bottles with a plastic bag on his head.

Dwight tells Daryl and the others, that Negan did not want to go through the swamp because it's to dangerous. Dwight tells them that he is there to help them beat Negan, because if he goes back Negan is going to put his head on a pike. Daryl decides that they are going to try the swamps, even though Tara thinks its a bad idea. They are running out of food at the Hilltop and may not make it to the end of the week. Dr. Carlson tells Gabriel he needs to rest, but Gabriel has found some pills. The pills are antibiotics that Gabriel needs. Dwight tells Daryl that everything he did was for Sherry who helped Daryl to escape before she did. Rosita and Scott (I finally found out Kenric Green's name) volunteer to help Daryl get rid of the Swamp Walkers.

Gregory and Maggie meeting at their "prison." Maggie tells him give her a reason to kill him. One of the Saviors asks for some free time out of the pen. Maggie refuses and tells them they won't be getting food either. Rosita stepped on a walker. This reminds me of the sullen swamp in The Divine Comedy.  Siddiq and Daryl are clearing walkers. Tara volunteers Dwight to kill a few walkers who has entered their safe zone. Gabriel's fever has broken, and he accidentally breaks a piggy bank which contains keys and a map. Dwight apologizes for Denise. Tara wants to kill him, and she shoots at him, which is of course a bad idea. This can only end badly. Of course, they are right by a group of Saviors looking for Gabriel and the Doc. The Doc and Gabriel are looking for the car; Gabe reads the sign that was making the noise, and tries to warn the doc, but it is too late. The Doc has stepped into a bear trap, and a walker is coming upon him. Man, always, one step forward, two steps back...

The Doc tries to fight them off; he kills two, but blind Gabiel has to kill the last one, which he unbelievably does. The Saviors are about to go to the swamp, but Dwight gives himself up to the Saviors. Thanks, Tara. Daryl is pissed at Tara for letting Dwight get away, but they are on their way to Hilltop. Back to the Doc and Gabriel, they make it to the Jeep only to get captured by the Saviors, who for some stupid reason kill the Doctor and take Gabriel back.

Daryl and his crew have made it to Hilltop, and once again has to give Carol and Maggie bad news about a death-this time Carl's. Enid is devastated. Morgan tells Henry that Gavin killed his brother and he got Gavin so. Siddiq thanks Maggie for her hospitality. He volunteers to work in the infirmary. Flash to the bullet factory where Eugene. Negan brings in Gabriel and proclaims that Carlson helped him to escape. Negan wants Gabriel to work at the bullet factory. He wants Eugene to speed up the process, while that can't happen, he has given Negan an idea about attacking the Hilltop with catapults of body parts. Maggie is going to put the Saviors to work. Gregory tell Maggie they should evacuate. There is an announcement that Rick has arrived at Hilltop. Negan is going to using bio-waste from the walkers to fight against the Hilltop. Oh, boy...I'm sick of Negan...

Until next week...
