Hey, every one! It is season finale time!!! Who will live? Who will die? Who will freeze to death in the storm? Opens with Eugene's radio. Ezekiel's voice stating that the Kingdom is finally broken. With winter, the fires raged, rot spread, and the Kingdom has fallen. They need help and shelter. Daryl brings food to Lydia. They plan to move everyone to Hilltop. He talks about never forgetting the magic and love that the Hilltop brought. Carol is sadly going through some of Henry's things. Ezekiel rolls up the charter to take with them. He talks of the ones who died bravely defending them, like Tara. Aaron and Michonne have arrived with members of the Hilltop to try to get the people of the Kingdom to safety. Carol and Ezekeil are the last to leave the Kingdom. He talks of how the ones who died were valiant, and now they must be valiant, too. Farewell to the Kingdom...

The Hilltop is in a bit of disarray with Tara's death. They have tried to contact Maggie, but no word from her. Alden starts in on Lydia about the Whisperers who seem to be following them. Daryl tells him to lay off Lydia. Carol is eyeing Lydia suspiciously. Daryl tells her that Henry wanted her here, and she is a good kid. He asks Carol what does she see when she looks at him. She says he sees him. As she touches his arm, Ezekiel looks back a little jealously. Jerry tells him that the barometer is dropping, and a storm is approaching. All the power is out in Alexandria, and Eugene recommends that everyone using firewood. Aww, Ezekiel is jealous. He wants to start over with Carol without Daryl being a third wheel. He says the last few months without Henry have been difficult, and he just wants a piece of what he has lost. Daryl doesn't really answer him. Lydia wanders off by herself and spots a frozen walker. She seems hypnotizes by it. She is attempting to let it bite her, but Carol comes through the woods, and she stops. They decide to stop for the night, and they end up at the Sanctuary.

Back to Alexandria, where Negan is basically being well Negan teasing everyone especially the paternal threesome. Judith is worry about Dog, because she promised Daryl that she would take care of him. Negan smells something off before the fireplace explodes. They all decide to move to Aaron's house, but it is almost white out conditions in Alexandria. Back at Sanctuary, Carol and Daryl talk about Ezekiel. She says he blames Daryl because he can't blame her. She says that she feels like she is falling apart again. Daryl tells her he can take her away, and he would take care of her. She asks if he wants to leave. Lydia is listening in on their convo. Meanwhile, Michonne and Ezekiel are discussing the next step in getting to the next wait station. They only have enough food for a few days. They aren't going to be able to travel with the wagons, and the best way through is through Alpha's territory. Carol tells him that those borders were hers not theirs. Ezekiel says that he doesn't want to start a war, especially with an enemy they don't really know how to fight.

Michonne and Ezekiel are discussing the plan. He blames himself for their situation. Michonne tells him they are stronger together. She thought they were better alone. She said that is how Alpha was able to get to them because they didn't know each other anymore. So they set out in the night hoping to cross Alpha's border without initiating a fight. They come to the pikes, and Ezekiel stops briefly before they continue into Alpha's territory. Meanwhile in Alexandria, they are trying to make it to Aaron's house when Judith hear's Dog and runs after him. Negan lets go of the rope to follow her. Well, we see three walkers frozen solid as the group makes its way toward the river. Daryl and Michonne check to see if the river is solid. Lydia sneaks off. Carol goes to find Lydia, and some walkers come out of the snow bank.

Although they have to fight walkers, everyone makes it across the river. Carol catches up to Lydia. Lydia tells her that she has to die. She tells Carol it could be her, and no one has to know. She says she is the reason Henry is dead. She begs Carol to kill her. This is how she loses no one else. Lydia says she is too weak like her mother said. Carol tells her she is not weak, and they have to go. Back in Alexandria, they are still trying to find Judith, and Negan gets hit in the leg with a piece of wood, but he finds Judith and Dog. He tells her that she wanted spend more time with him. He gives Judith his coat and sets out with her and Dog to find everyone else. 

Finally, they make it to Hilltop. Lydia is looking at paintings of Glenn and Hershel. Daryl tells Lydia to get some rest that they are traveling to Alexandria the next day.

Michonne sees Negan in the infirmary, and she thanks him for saving her. Negan calls Siddiq Dr. BabyDaddy. He talks about how her and the Kingdom were stuck in the weather. He says that Michonne was ballsy for cutting through Alpha's territory. Negan tells her that no one ever thinks they are the evil one. Alpha tells Beta she has made mistakes, but she needs to be strong for what comes next, as he beats her with a switch. Ezekiel is back on the mic, talking to Judith. He tells her just because they lost the house, doesn't mean they've lost their home. After he leaves, the voice of a woman comes across the radio...So, who is the lady on the radio?

Welcome back, everybody!!! I'm not really looking forward to the next episodes as much as I normally do. Knowing that there are only two Rick Grimes episodes left is so depressing, almost as bad as the post Glenn episodes.

Episode opens again in bed with Rick and Michonne. They really are trying for that family. No one has noticed that Gabriel is missing. Michonne and Rick looking at plans, breaking up fights, serving the sick, but Michonne is missing her katana. So, she is sneaking out killing Walkers in her spare time. When she isn't working on the charter or taking care of Judith. The Grimes family dynamic is seeming to be not enough for Michonne. Now, she finds a fresh walker hanging from a tree, and she is attacked by another. She ends up find a bat similar to Lucille that she uses to kill the walker with, but she leaves as the rain begins, with still no idea who this recently deceased walker is. 

Back to Hilltop and Maggie is teaching the animals to little Hershel. Everything seams to be running well at Hilltop. Georgie has been sending Maggie letters. She has taken a crowbar with her. Jesus believes that Negan should have died at the end, and that Rick made a mistake leaving him alive, but he is unsettled about Maggie's plan for Negan. The rain has created a deluge, but the rain may take out the bridge. He says there are two major herds running parallel to each other, but they do not seem like they are going to merge. Carol has decided not to go back to Sanctuary. She tells Rick that they need to figure out life for themselves at the Sanctuary. He tell her that she gives him hope. She is instead returning to the Kingdom. Still no one has noticed that Gabriel is missing. Jerry shows up and tells Rick that Jesus has relayed a message that Maggie is headed to Alexandria. Daryl offers Rick a ride on his bike. New character, Nora, who tells her that crows are taking some of their crops, and Negan is not eating. Rick asks Daryl to pull over. Daryl has messed with the relay to allow Maggie to get into Alexandria. The two get into a fight, and they roll into a hole that looks as if it was man made for something not on the up and up. Sooooo, both are stuck at the bottom.

We return to life with Negan, as Michonne tells Negan that he is to end the hunger strike. He wants Michonne to stay and talk to him in return he will eat. She gives him 20 minutes. Daryl and Rick are arguing. He says he can't believe that Rick is allowing Negan to live after what Glenn did for him. Rick believes killing Negan is only making hims a martyr. He tells Rick he believes in all these other people, but not in his own group. He tells Rick to let Carl's dream go. Rick says he never asked anyone to follow him, but Daryl tells him maybe he should have. I honestly see it from both sides, but seriously, I'm more team kill Negan.

Negan is mocking Michonne being in Alexandria while Rick and the rest build the bridge. She tells him they are rebuilding the world. Negan is telling Michonne about his wife. He tells her that his wife had cancer, and they would have loved to have had a kid like Carl. She tells him about her son Andre. He tells her that his wife was weak, but she made him strong. He is messing with her head telling her that she was glad Andre is gone because he would have made her weak. Finally, Anne and Gabriel, even though no one has noticed that both of them are gone. She kisses her unconscious lover. I don't understand how this works. She is going to turn him before delivery? He tells her that he forgives her for what she is about to do. He temporarily stops her from using a walker to turn him into a walker. Then, she knocks him out.

The Saviors have taken guns from Alden, and they want to fight Oceanside for killing their people. Carol over powers them, but now there is shooting. Rick and Daryl hear the gunshots, and they are working together to get out of the hole, before the herds converge. Michonne is looking at her katana again. She confronts Negan as she returns with his food. He tells her that they are the same. She tells him that they are not. She wants to bring people together. She says she gets strength from the dead, but she lives for the living. She says that he is trying to connect with her. He wants to see Lucille, and he thinks Michonne will bring it to him. She tells him the bat is still out on the field. He is desperate to see the bat, and he appears to be beating his hand against the wall.

Now walkers are falling in the pit with Rick and Daryl has made a step stool out of some of the walkers as they both frantically try to climb out. Rick has made it out he is trying to help Daryl out. Brother, Rick says. Take my hand, and they are both out. Rick says he is going to take the Walkers in another direction after Daryl tells him to sacrifice the bridge. He tells him to be safe. Gabriel wakes up in one of the trailers she used to hold prisoners. She left him a note, but she is gone. Michonne is reading to Judith. She sees a bat in the picture of the story she is reading. Maggie sees dead walkers and Rick's hatchet. Rick is surrounded by Walkers. The horse throws him, he lands on exposed rebar, and he is pinned to a piece of concrete as the walkers are converging from two directions towards him. Now, we are down to Rick's last episode, and things don't look like they bode well for Rick Grimes...sigh, see you next week. Bring tissue...

Welcome back, everybody!!! Last week, we had a little issue with the old cable company, and well, hopefully, all the problems have been rectified. Only one more episode until the season finale. 

Opens with Rick reading Carl's letter and looking at Judith. Awwww, Carl is reading it, and reminiscing about the happy days with family before the fall. Jerry walking with the littlest baby. Showing everybody in the calm before the storm. He is talking about everybody finding a way to peace. That if Negan won't do it, that he should. Carl wants the killing to stop. So, Michonne is about to read what Carl wrote to Negan, huh, why did she wait this long. It wasn't like Rick has been around to stop her. 

Of course, Gregory is back with the Saviors and talking to Simon. I hate this dude. Oh, so Simon thinks he's in charge, and he does not know that Negan is back. Uh-oh, so stuff is going to hit the fan tonight. Speaking of stuff, Gregory has a ton of it coming out of his mouth right now. Simon is like, dude, you are a dead man. Wow, this speech Gregory!!! That big talk lasted all of five seconds. He is going to be coffee boy for Simon. Dumb. The ladies of Oceanside has said that Aaron is on his own. Eugene is still making these people eat some mac and cheese and sardines...eww. He has turned into a boss who is trying to boss the guys into the number of bullets they need to keep Simon. He has Gabriel masked up. Gabriel is trying to screw up the bullets. Gabriel is falling back to the scared Gabriel. Ugh...Eugene has taken him off the line and told him to go sit in the corner and keep his crying to a minimum. LOL...Rosita and Daryl have kidnapped Eugene. A whistle, and Dwight sees that Negan is back. Dwight told him Simon was number two, and he was just following Simon. He tells him to remember this conversation when the time comes. 

Ha, Simon, Negan's home. He is talking about screwing up Hilltop. He doesn't know that Negan knows about the Heapsters. Negan says that he should have taken out Simon in the beginning. He makes Simon get on his knees and tells him all is forgiven. They want to keep Hilltop cut off. Negan plans to try to snipe them until they are scared to leave. He holds Dwight back and sends the rest off. I think Negan picked up that girl savior who got away from Dwight. I think Dwight is going to die tonight. 

Eugene is already getting on Daryl's nerves. Eugene is trying to justify his becoming "Negan." Eugene blames Rick. Rosita says he'll live, but they will keep him for his knowledge. Someone may be in the bushes watching them. Dwight is still in spy mode, but in comes Simon, who still wants to take over the Sanctuary after Negan let him go. Simon is planning a mutiny against Dwight. Dwight is siding with Simon? What? One or both of them is dead tonight.

Eugene is up to...eww, he just threw up all over Rosita. Of course, he is hiding in the ashes. Whatever happens to Eugene now, I'm done with him. Walkers are stalking Aaron, who at this point is running on fumes. Yet, Aaron took out five of the Walkers, before he wakes up to the ladies of Oceanside. He gives them a King Theoden fight speech before passing out again.

Dwight is back where he started earlier tonight. Simon and his mutiny crew with Gregory...LOL...really? This is the crew that is going to take out Negan. Simon wants to take out Negan and then destroy the Hilltop. Dwight turned on Simon...LOL. Whooo. Took out the whole crew except Dwight and Gregory. Simon asked Dwight why. Dwight says Negan would win. Now, Negan tells Simon that he knows about the garbage people. Then, he goes all Ric Flair. To be the man you've got to beat the man. Simon is still talking trash as he is about to fight Negan. Negan is holding up well considering he's been in a wreck and a fight, and Gregory is trying to sneak out. For Real Dwight, you are going to trust Gregory? Well, Negan just choked Simon to death. 

This commercial for next week's The Walking Dead with Negan bringing Gabriel as a hostage reminds me of Hershel. Gregory actually came back to Hilltop and brought the map that Dwight gave him. Now, Dwight and Negan are together in the bowels of the Sanctuary, and Negan has "made him his right hand man." I knew it!!! I knew that's who he picked up. The girl who escaped. She has told on Dwight. Negan used Gregory to send his fake plan. He said he thought about killing Dwight, but he has some other plans for Dwight. Negan wants the bullet order filled by tomorrow morning. Eugene is full Negan, and he will fulfill his orders. Man, Negan put Simon on the fence. Michonne is talking to Negan. She tells him to shut and listen. She is reading Carl's letter to Negan. He said the same thing to Negan that he said to Rick. Negan said that he will not accept their surrender. He only wants them dead. That Rick started this, and their destruction is the only way to start over. Season Finale Next Week!!!! Looks like they are meeting on the battle field!!!

Who is Jadis hiding? She's pretending to be dead as they kill her people. She has an Ikea room in one of the containers? Why does she have Negan's bat? FYI, I am hating CableOne right now. They are giving me a thousand reasons to cut the cord. She has Negan tied to a rolling dolly.

Carol and Ezekiel are talking. Ezekiel wants to look for Henry, and Carol does not want to go. Ezekiel can not believe that she does not want to go. He tells her that he thought she was brave, but she is a coward. Tara tells Daryl that she is clean, and Dwight used a clean arrow. Daryl still does not trust Dwight. Now, Michonne is reading Carl's letter and offers it to Rick to read, but he does not. Rick reveals to Michonne that he has not read Carl's letter. She told him that she did the same thing when it happened to her. She tells him that Andrea stopped her, and she is going to stop him. He's not leaving until he reads the letter. Morgan is off to find Henry and Ezekiel. Carol decides she is going with Morgan. Maggie and the rest are now meeting to see about the Saviors. They believe they don't have enough ammo. Rosita reminds them about Eugene "the bullet maker." Negan tells Jadis that the murder of her people wasn't part of his plan. She doesn't need to hear that as she puts the bat next to his head to shut it up

Missed a piece sorry guys, but I came back to Morgan and Carol trying to pick up Henry's trail. Rick decides to go after the Saviors after seeing Carl's hat. Alden (finally got his name) the "good savior" tells Rick about the dive bar. Negan is mostly loose now and has a gun and flare as Jadis pushes a corpse between him and her. I messed up with this segment. Sorry guys, important phone call. Hopefully, I will not miss any more.

Morgan and Carol have come across a walker herd. They see a Walker coming toward them impelled with Henry's stick. Morgan is determined to continue after he killed the walker. Morgan tells Carol she saves people, and he watches them die. Carol tells him that he knew that she could come back, and she knows that he can come back, too. Morgan says that he has to be the one to kill Henry. Jadis and Negan are discussing as Negan threatens to burn her pictures which is all she has left of her people. He tells Jadis that the bat was named after his wife Lucille. There is a helicopter. What is this? Jadis signaled, but it's gone. He tells her that he can settle the debt, and she does not burn the bat. Rick comes across the herd and Morgan. Morgan's cheese has definitely slid off the cracker. Rick tells Morgan that he is out there for them and to finish it. They will finish it together. They see a hand and leg, and then Rick gets knocked out.

Rick and Morgan have been captured by the runaway Saviors. Jared needs to die. For reals. They think that is they give Rick and Morgan to Negan that they will have a win. The other Saviors want out. Rick is trying to convince them that his way is a way to a fresh start for all of them. Jared, of course, does not believe them. Rick is telling them a herd is on the way. Jared is telling them that he saw Morgan kill one of his own men. Morgan agrees saying that he came here to kill all of them, but that the herd is still coming, and he should save his bullets. He says it doesn't matter because everybody turns, and here comes the herd. Finally somebody knocks the crap out of Jared. The other Saviors free Rick and Morgan. Then, Rick and Morgan killed the Saviors, except Jared who is trying to escape. Morgan sees him though. Jared sucker punches Morgan and has him down, but Morgan throws him off and locks him in with the walkers who summarily eat him. One Savior is still alive, and Rick tells him that he lied and put a bullet in his head. Morgan walks past Rick saying "Everybody turns." Rick tells Morgan that he saved him. He asked him why did Morgan save him. Morgan tells Rick that he saved him because his son was there. Rick is looking at himself covered in blood in a broken mirror.

Negan tells Jadis that she did not lose her. He insists that she tell him about the helicopter. He tells her to come with him. She chooses to stay. Carol has found Henry. She apologizes and says that he can survive. I thought Zeke went out to look. Carol brought him back. 

Carol and Zeke holding hands, and Morgan and Rick made it back. Morgan told Henry that he killed the men who killed his brother. Henry apologizes for that. Morgan ends crying alone. Jadis brings in a suitcase. As she contemplates. Negan picks up a hitchhiker. He tells the guards that they are to keep it quiet. Rosita and Daryl have found Eugene's warehouse. Rick has showered. He thanks Michonne and tells her he is sorry and that he loves her. She leaves him alone to read Carl's letter. Episode ends with Rick reading the letter. Only two episodes left...

Until next week...

Ugh, Negan starting the show. I hate this dude and Simon. Must we start at the Sanctuary. Dwight and Negan confrontation on tap. Dwight feeding him a lie. NEgan buying the line of garbage, and telling him to get ready for battle. They are headed to Hilltop to give wounds to make them turn. No head shots, and don't kill them. Not that Simon is known for following direction. Simon tells Dwight that he is to ride with him per Negan's orders. Scene ends with Negan in his black Charger with Lucille riding shot gun in a bucket of walker guts as he tells her how beautiful she is. I'm really sick of this dude. 

Rick and Michonne are walking through the gates at Hilltop, which is starting to resemble a shanty town with all of the tents. Aww, Judith is reunited with her father. Daryl and Rick exchange heads up before Rick goes to the graveyard. Daryl rolls in talking about how unfair about the people who are here and gone. Daryl apologizes for the Sanctuary hit. They both agree its time to fight. Rick tells Daryl he's okay, and they they well be okay. He thanks Daryl for getting every body to Hilltop. Maggie asks Rosita if he will come from back from this. Rosita says no, we just keep going. They agree that it won't be over until Negan is dead. Simon asks Dwight what he thinks of this road trip. Simon does not believe that this will "warning" will not work. Dwight says he is not paid to think. Dwight says that Rick, the Widow, and the King don't scare, which means he thinks this will not work, too. Someone has left a set a crates asking for phonographs, and they will offer the key to their future. Michonne and Rosita agree to take the records. Rick has spotted the Saviors caravan and more specifically Negan.

Simon sees the SUV coming does nothing, and Rick hits Negan and gets him away from the caravan. The Saviors want to check on Negan, but Simon says they block the road while he and Dwight go and check on Negan. Rick has caused Negan to wreck and over turn his car, and is wasting bullets shooting at Negan has escaped to an abandoned building, and both are followed by walkers, and Rick is now out of bullets. Rick throws his ax at Negan who falls and is dangling on the edge of staircase. He goes for Negan's fingers, and Negan falls, but you know Negan is like the Coyote. He's gonna get back up.

Who are these Hipsters Maggie, Michonne, and Enid are meeting with. Who is this Glenn Close wanna be named Georgie. This woman is wearing a seersucker suit jacket and pearl earrings. The woman is preaching goodness, but Maggie and Enid aren't buying it. Maggie wants the Hipsters to come to Hilltop with them. Rick and Negan are still insulting each other in the dark. Negan doesn't understand "Rick's problem" in letting him try to "help them." He says in honor of Carl he will lower their take to 25%, and Rick gets to be his janitor. Rick tells Negan that he doesn't trust them after he wiped Jadis's people. Uh-oh, Simon, somebody is in trouble, and Rick now has the gut covered Lucille. 

TOO MANY COMMERCIALS!!!!!!!! 

Simon and Dwight discussing wanting to kill Negan. This is not going to end well. Simon wants to team with Dwight and move on from Negan. They've found the "accident," and all I can say is that this cannot end well for Simon. They are contemplating staying and looking for Negan, or go back and start new with the Saviors. This is when Dwight decides to take a smoke break, wait a minute...he sets Negan's car on fire, and he and Simon are walking away. Hey, Jerry. Michonne still believes that they should honor their vow, and she tells Enid to stand down. She tells Maggie that things don't always work our, but this is not what Carl wanted them to do. Rick tells Negan he can't save anyone because he doesn't care about anything but that bat, and Rick declares he will let Negan kiss Lucille goodbye before Rick sets the bat on fire. 

AGAIN, TOO MANY COMMERCIALS!!!!!

Rick is fighting Walkers and Negan with the burning Lucille. Negan calls Rick a psychopath who's going to get them both killed. Rick says as long as Negan goes first. Negan has escaped. Maggie agrees to abide by the terms. They exchange the records for the crates. Georgie gives her a book on how to build up the Hilltop. Enid tells Michonne about Natanya. Michonne tells her that there has to be something after the fight with the Saviors. Dwight asks his men, who they are. They say they are still Negan. He says they need to keep to the job at hand. Simon has decided to erase the Hilltop for Negan. Oh...Negan didn't escape. Jadis has him at gunpoint, and she knocks him out!!! Wow...

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...

Michonne and Rick have just finished burying Carl. They taking a look at what is left of Alexandria. For a moment Rick thinks about leaving the gun Carl used to kill himself hanging on the cross. When Michonne returns to their home, she breaks down when she sees Carl and Judith's handprints. They try to put out the fire at the gazebo, but give up. As they leave Alexandria, Rick asks Michonne what did Carl mean. Did he just want them to give up? Michonne suggests reading the letters. Rick's not ready, but Michonne finds that Carl wrote a letter to Negan. He tells her he needs to talk to Jadis, but Michonne is not sure. And of course, there is a trap. Michonne and Rick are trapped in the dump pit surrounded by what looks like what used to be the heapsters.

Negan...ugh, I'm so sick of him. He's looking for Rick and the crew. He realizes that Carl played him. They don't know what's happened to Gavin, and they think all is well at Hilltop, and Simon is not happening. He wants Simon to go and turn the trash people to their side. Simon thinks that the Saviors should cut their losses considering the Hilltop, Alexandria, Kingdom, etc. won't learn their lesson. Simon thinks the Savior way has not been working well lately. OH, a delivery from the Hilltop you say? Maggie's present has arrived. Dean's dead, and Simon is ticked because those are his people. Negan tells him he will stand will stand down and do his job...

Well, the fish people have Enid and Aaron, and they are going to allow Cindy to decide what to do with them. Well, that was quick. Cindy decides they live, but tells them don't come back. Aaron has decided that he will stay behind, but Enid needs to go tell Maggie not to come there. So, Enid is on her own to return to the Hilltop.

Now, to Simon. Simon is at the dump heap. This must be before Rick and Michonne arrived. He tells Jadis that she needs to apologize for helping Rick. Jadis said no deal with Rick that she delivered him to them. Simon says BS, but he says that Negan wants them to go back to their deal, and all is forgiven. There is a condition that they give up their guns. Heapsters don't want to give up the guns. He tells them that they will protect them if need be. Jadis gives up the gun. There is a helipad and solar panels at the dump? What was it? Simon wants to know, too. Now, he feels that they should apologize. She tell him there is remorse, and he shoots one of her people. She says it again, and he shoots another. Then, he kills all of her people. Simon done messed up. He lies to Negan, who has just received a call from Rick via CB.

Oh, so Jadis can talk like a normal person. She said that they made this into a canvas. Rick says he is done with Jadis who is sitting on the heap in a gown. Rick doesn't help her get out. He says that she is useless. She calls her people to her. She has a Chipper, and she is chopping She chops them all up into a pile of sludge. She alone is left at the dump. She had food hidden. What else is she hiding in the dump?

Rick says that he didn't want Jadis dead, he just wanted her gone. Now, he has left with the letters Carl wrote to him and Negan and the CB. He reads Negan's first. Tells him that Carl asked them both to stop it. Rick says that he is going to kill Negan. Negan is visibly shaken over Carl's death. Negan blames Rick for Carl's death. He tells him that he should shut this down. Negan tells Rick that he failed as a leader and a father, and he should give up because he has already lost.

Until next week, y'all...

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

Of course, we begin with naked Rick in trouble again, because he trusted the stupid trash people again. Jadis is photographing Rick for one of two reasons, she still wants to sleep with him or for ransom. So she could sculpt him? What else did she say? I hate her. 

Eugene breaking out the KWL chart, must have minored in English. Eugene now telling Dwight to stop the back-stabbery. Eugene is a mess. BTW, what is happening with Gabriel, Eugene? Eugene just wants himself safe, he claims he's Negan, but just told Dwight, he will keep his treason to himself. Female Savior says they have a day maybe two. Gabriel has multiple infections. Did he tell Gabriel that he looked like a potato and crap casserole? 

Where is Morgan? He has a bead on Daryl. ONe of Negan's wives, is reminding Eugene that he could have ended this, but he only wanted to keep himself safe.  Daryl wants to break into the sanctuary, but Rosita doesn't want to be a part of this. She thinks its going to fail.

Negan and Eugene meeting. Negan telling him how smart he is and how he knows how smart Eugene is. Tells Eugene that he respects him. What is Eugene doing? What is his speaker leading him to do? They brought Sasha's coffin back? Is he going to use the ipod to fix the boom box? I'm thinking this side trip by Daryl is a mistake. It has fail written all over it. Michonne doesn't think it is a good idea. She is bailing on Daryl, too. 

Eugene is trying to lead the walkers away with his little airplane device, but someone is behind him, is that Dwight? Yep, it's Dwight. Eugene is such a turd. Just former traveling companions. Dwight killed the glider instead of Eugene. This is going to be bad, so bad. Well, maybe not too bad, the walkers are in the building. Eugene you better run dude. Eugene is gone. He only cares about surviving. He is about to give up Dwight. The intercom system? Eugene makes me sick. Now, he's drinking himself sick. I can't with this guy...

Making Rick fight another monster, and he defeated the monster and attacked Jadis. HE has its face right in hers. Took her down a peg. Rick wants to kill Negan by him by himself. He has her agreeing to a fourth of the plunder, but Rick and the Heapsters arrive at the Sanctuary, somebody is hanging from the water tower, no snipers are answering, and the lot is empty thanks to Daryl and Tara.  Mid-season finale next week y'all!!!

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

Yeah, I'm still recovering from last week and the death of Shiva, and now, we have to deal with Gabriel and his stupid decision to help Gregory. Speak of the devil. Flashback to Gregory in the Sanctuary, where I believe he should have died. Simon is an annoyance. Man, Gregory deserves to die. Seriously, this is the dude Gabriel risked his life for. Gregory says he doesn't like to kill people. Negan says he likes to kill people. Oddly enough, Negan and Rick have similar ideas. Dwight leaves the room for a smoke, probably to signal Daryl.  Did Gregory really believe that he was still in charge of the Hilltop?  Seriously, the nickname the Widow is perfect for Maggie. Gregory is the wussiest wuss who ever entered wussdom. Simon is always for kill somebody. I don't think I could work for Negan. He wants to capture the leaders (Maggie, Ezekiel, and Rick) and kill them very publicly. Now, here we are where the season began. Crap, I had forgotten about Eugene. Seriously, Gabriel you had a gun. Negan calls him a big baby.  Please don't tell me this is going to be an hour long rap session between Negan and Gabriel. 

Negan calls Rick an a**hole to which Gabriel responds that Negan is an a**hole. Truth. Thank you! Even Negan thinks Gabriel is stupid for trying to save Gregory. Gabriel feels there was a reason for him to save Gregory. Negan, thinks Gabriel is creepy. For a second time, I agree with Negan. Then, Gabriel gives him a creepy smile and says he's there to take Negan's confession. Boy, bye...

Rick and Daryl look like a raggedy tag team from the NWA days. The Savior who was driving the Humvee, just informed Rick that only Zeke, Carol, and Jerry were the only survivors from the Kingdom. Then, Rick put a knife in his head. Negan believes that a lot of people are going to die without him leading. Negan, of course, is just as creepy as Gabriel by telling Gabe that he pleasured himself where he is sitting. 

The remaining Saviors are plotting, and Regina is plotting to kill some of the workers. Eugene is making better suggestions, so she suggests that they use Eugene. This other random dude has figured out that one of their own has set them up. Dwight has gotten ballsy since the real Negan "maybe" dead. He challenges them to stop back biting and get out of the Sanctuary. Simon buys the bravo, but then again, Simon believed Gregory, but Eugene looks hella suspicious of Dwight.

Eugene and Dwight make a heck of team. He took over from the previous leader by making them "strong." Now, he wants to make Gabriel strong and find his purpose. This dude Gabriel is still trying to get Negan to confess. Gabriel went to far, and now the walkers are breaking through.

Rick and Daryl are fighting now.  Daryl wants to kill everybody, Rick is all nah, we got a plan. Rick is kind of tripping now. Daryl and Rick are really rolling around on the ground fighting while the guns are in a vehicle that is on fire, and nooooowwwww, explosion. Guns are gone.  This cannot end well with Daryl and Rick walking in opposite directions.  Negan is trying to convince Gabriel to come out and walk across the courtyard. Now, he is confessing his greatest sin to Negan. Negan is confessing about his real wife. He is telling how he could not put her down at the end. I love how he just punched Gabriel dead in the face for saying that he is forgiven.  Ugh, I hate it when they do the dead guts thing. I wonder what the fish people are up to...

These are some rank looking walkers. Where have they been? Gabe and Negan are not having an easy time getting through these walkers. Uh-oh falling zombies. The Workers are not playing anymore. The Workers are saying they are tripping. Simon is trying to keep them in line, and Regina killed one of the workers. And who shows up, Negan and Gabriel. Negan has some of the second best lines. Abraham always had the best. I don't know why he always has to talk about his junk, but here we are.  They are taking Gabriel to number 2, and I don't recall that place. I hope it isn't where they kept Daryl, and I definitely don't need to "Easy Street," again.  We only have seven minute left.

Eugene sees the paint on the bag. Eugene knows now that Dwight is the one who is helping Rick and the Crew.  Rick is on the road alone, and wait a minute, where did a helicopter come from? Eugene has been put in charge of finding the mole. Who is this watching Rick? Gabriel is where Daryl was.  Has Gabriel been bitten? So many questions that will not be answered until next week!!! See you then!!!!

Welcome back, everybody!  I can't believe that we are already at the mid-season finale. The open at the Hilltop with Maggie at Glenn's grave. Then, Gregory telling her not to let her "little" rescue go to her head. Can't wait until that guy is gone. Then, back to Alexandria with Negan giving Carl shaving lessons and cooking a meal before making both Carl and Olivia feel uncomfortable. Back to Rick and Aaron at the crazy dude's compound. Negan is pissed that Rick is not back, and he says Lucille is hungry, before asking Carl to pass the rolls. Yeah, I hate this guy. 

Eugene is looking like death warmed over. Spencer is giving over the supplies he found.  Megan's peeps are as obnoxious as he is. Over to the Kingdom with Carol and Morgan, where Carol calls back to Morgan. She is either going to end up with Ezekiel or Morgan. Speaking of Ezekiel, his head knight just showed up to Carol's house for a conversation. The boat expo is not going hunky dory as Aaron fell out of the boat before reaching the canoe.  Daryl is taking his time escaping grabbing clothes and a bite to eat before taking off. 

Aaron and Rick discussing the repercussions of living under Negan's law, and somebody is watching them. Michonne is not going to kill Negan today, but she wants to change things for herself. Now, Sasha arrives with an apple pie, which Maggie immediately digs into. Maggie is curious as to where Jesus is.  Sasha lies, because she wants to kill Negan, too. Although Enid wants to join, Sasha wants to keep Maggie safe. Ezekiel's Knight, I forgot his name, is telling them about the camps.  He feels that the Kingdom is about under attack. He needs their help to talk to Ezekiel, before the Kingdom falls to Negan.  Everybody wants to take out the the Saviors, because they knows they cannot survive this way.  Found the Head Knight's name, it's Richard. He just asked Carol and Morgan who no longer want to kill, to join him in attack the Saviors.

Rosita and her bullet talking to Father Gabriel about killing Negan with her one bullet. Rosita wants to suicide, because Abraham would fight. She's listing why everybody else has a reason to live, she skipped Sasha though. Gabriel is trying to convince her to lose this stupid idea. Back to Daryl's long escape, and back to the Kingdom. This show is suffering from ADD tonight. Richard is telling Morgan that you are going to have to fight someday.  Carol and Morgan still don't have a clue as to what has happened yet.  Somehow they need to find out about Glenn and Abraham.  Carol puts them both out. I feel like some much has happened and so little at the same time.

Spencer is back at his house that they trashed looking for the gun.  Does he really think this milquetoast act is going to play with Negan?  Richard has a hidden camper?  Every body has an RV. I really can understand his level of frustration. Now, Rosita mocks Spencer playing dress up with Negan. I really hate Spencer. Rosita is so done with him. Daryl finally makes it to the outside, and there is fat Joseph. Daryl just beat the crap out of Fat Joey!  Daryl is pissed. Daryl is ready to kick a** and take names, although I think he just scared the crap out of Jesus who showed up as he took out Joey.  What are they looking at. I guess that was just one of Negan's army outposts. Michonne realizes that this is futile. She killed the woman and is returning home.  Spencer is such a dill. How did that note get in there?  Was it the guy in the house? Meanwhile, they are beating the crap out of Aaron. Spencer is out here bad mouthing Rick to Negan. Really, Spencer? Negan should put you in charge. Poor Aaron. His heart is still beating he says.  Negan is sizing up Spencer just right. This is not going to end well Spencer. Bye-bye Spencer.  You have no guts literally and figuratively.  He asked them to clean up what's left of Spencer and for someone to finish their pool game. Rosita pulled out her gun and fired. She shot Lucille. Now, someone else will have to die. 

Now, Negan knows about the bullet making. Arat, hate her, she cuts Rosita's face as Rosita lies about making the bullet.  Aaaaaand Olivia is dead. Man, he can't even stop fat shaming Olivia in death. Tara and Eugene step up.  Now, Negan is taking Eugene the bullet maker.  I hate Negan. Boy did Spencer make a mess. And of course, Rick has to kill he his reanimated corpse. I really need Carol know what has been happening.

What is Rick contemplating in the jail cell. Michonne is trying to put the fight back in Rick. They all have to fight not just one or two of them.  Rick and the gang have arrived at the Hilltop. Look who else is at the Hilltop!!! Daryl Dixon!!!! That was Rick's gun Fat Joe had!!! The gang is back together!!!! Now we just need Carol and Morgan! Who is this guy that was watching Rick and Aaron and now spying on Alexandria. Soooooo, much!!!!! See you guys in February!!!

Hey, we're living on Easy Street...okay, I won't torment you with that song tonight. I haven't thoroughly hated a song with so much passion so quickly since Katy Perry's "Firework" earwormed its way into my life. I tell you, I would have broken a lot quicker than Daryl Dixon appears to be. Tonight, we get an extra 25 minutes of show. Hope it is a good one, but good one's usually means someone dies. Long as it is not Michonne or Daryl, I'm cool.

Rick and Michonne are still a couple I see, and apparently, he is sleeping a little to peacefully for her. What did she hide in the fireplace. OHHHHH a nice gun, I see. Where is she going? What is Michonne up to?  What is she keeping watch for? Are Rosita and Spencer still a thing?  Here comes Negan...butthole...Man, I hate that dude.

Funny thing, at the same time Negan said little pig, little pig let me in, the same line was dropped on Walker, Texas Ranger.  He is a little early with his Saviors. Daryl looks a hot mess. Man, I hate Negan.

Rick can't even talk to Daryl or Daryl loses a body part. He has Rick carrying his dang bat.  Who is this lady?  Dwight is such a pizza face butthole.  I want Dwight and Negan to die such terrible deaths. I want Daryl to kill Dwight, and Rick or Maggie to kill Negan, preferably both at the same time. Michone is not good with the gun, but the machete, she is very good at.  Well, she shot a deer.

They found Deanna's stash of videos. Man, Rick is so broken right now. He needs to get his stuff together. The Rick in that video is not entirely dead Negan, and you are stoking the fire. They are pretending that Maggie is dead. Carl is firing off at the people trying to get the medicine. Carl is showing that baby serial killer. At least Carl's hair is better. Where are the guns Rick? Thanks, Carl.

Well, Carl has messed up the gun situation.  Arat is the girl apparently. He insulted the woman, calling her fat. Rick is wants to rip Negan's neck out so bad right now.  They found Daryl's bike, but Rosita is still suspicious of the area. Spencer is so dumb. Like, Negan would not have found them anyway. Negan was already working his way to Alexandria, anyway.  They found out about the bazooka.  Michonne has those guns? Or Tara and Heath? Or Maggie and Sasha? Negan is threatening to kill Olivia the bookkeeper? Really? Neegan is a horrible person.

Hiding guns is not the answer. Rick is preaching to the people about the hidden guns. They just don't get that Negan is now in charge, and he sees the guns as a threat to his being. They realize that Michonne is not there. Spencer is so stupid. What is Rosita doing?  Are these the Saviors that came after them and killed Denise? Ugh, I hate Spencer. How is it that his dead brother was the smarter of the two?  How did he survive as long as he did?

Gabriel is sneaky as hell; he just crept up on Rick. Where does he come from no where?  They think Spencer has them? He's been hoarding food still?!! They found the guns. I hate freaking Spencer. Tormenting Enid for wanting to keep the balloons Glenn had given her. Just tell on Spencer. He's useless anyway. Threatening to kill Olivia unless he tells who had the guns.

Michonne does not want to cooperate, and Dwight is a .... I hate him riding off on Daryl's bike. Negan just continues to torment Negan. Rick is having flashbacks as Negan kills this walker.  Oh, Negan has to die if for nothing else, that last comment to Rick. "Vengeance for the plunderers." on the sign outside of Alexandria. Negan, that would be you...he needs to die a slow painful death...

Watching Daryl leave was depressing. Spencer is such a...Man, he is so stupid. Spencer is such a jerk bringing up Glenn and Abraham. Rick saved your stupid life. He wants to die. Ahhh, Rosita has the gun. That was one of their guns that Michonne had. Michonne is still wanting to fight. Rick is telling Michonne about Shane. Rick knows Judith isn't his daughter. Just admitted it to Michonne. Rick just wants to keep them all alive. Michonne is going to try, but she still wants to fight.  What's burning?  They just burned the mattresses.  I hate Negan. Well, we are off to the Hilltop next week...Until next week.

Welcome back, everyone! I feel that last week's happy little tryst to the kingdom is a short, little break in our collective misery, and this week will be a small walk through hell.

Why are we starting with Who's the Boss? Is this life with Negan, Dwight's view?  Is he sling blade? What's with the mustard? What's with the letters on these guys? Is that why the hanging dude had a letter X? He is eating eggs, but serving somebody dog food?  Oh man, it's Daryl, and he's naked. He is making Daryl Dixon eat a dog food sandwich delivered by Dwight. I hate Dwight with a burning passion. I want him do die a slow death as well.

Are they torturing Daryl with bad pop music? I mean, I would break if you did that to me.  Man, this easy street song is so freaking annoying. Who is this person singing this song?  I feel like Daryl will be George Michael Waking me up before you go-going in a minute. So Daryl now has a letter-A. So, his girlfriend is not dead?  He's ticked that she talked to Daryl. Negan's got the hook-up on everything. Poor Daryl. Where exactly are they?  What are they going to do?  You can be like the zombies, the runners, or like Dwight?  The Choices...

I hate this freaking song...already. I need Dwight to die at the end of that crossbow.  Negan is offering him a girl? He mentions that Dwight hadn't had any action since Eugene bit him downstairs. Serves him right.  Y'all, I'm ready to punch somebody because of this song!!!! Fat Joey didn't lock the door?  He had one job. Plus, how much electricity are they burning through in this camp? Well, that was nasty. I just realized that he is wearing Daryl's vest. I wonder what happened here? Where are these zombies coming from?  The girl found Daryl and told him to go back. that it will be worse if they catch him. that he won't be able to get away. Fat Joey. Why is Daryl so hard-headed? Daryl has a death wish man. Aaaaaaaannnnd there's Negan. Daryl, really?!?!

Get on your knees, Daryl. Just save it for another day. Just say Negan and spare yourself. I freaking hate Negan. All of his men are cultists. They say what ever he says. They even call themselves Negan. Daryl caught the bat like, caught the belt during a whooping. Now, Daryl is in for a beatdown. What happened to the bike? That was the guy from the chicken coop. Is Sherry falling for Daryl? I bet Dwight's been bitten. Serves him right. This guy is not buying into Negan's stuff. This guy is saying he would rather be dead than go back. This guy is saying that Negan is the monster not the walkers. Dwight is just as bad as Negan. Alright D, but you know there is nothing left. So, Dwight kills him? Daryl still has people to live for. I still think Dwight has been bitten.

Dwight's back and sharing cigarettes with Sherry.  He's courting death. Not this song again. I I really, really hate this song, and the monster who recorded it. Dwight is telling him he is lucky. Did he just put a picture of Glenn's body? Oh, I hate this piece of crap...Now, playing Roy Orbison? What the what? The Saviors are just a...Crying, really. Now, Daryl breaks and is crying.  Dwight is a wet turd, man...Negan wanted to marry Tina. That's why he and Sherry ran away. Sherry sacrificed herself to marry Negan save Dwight. He wants Daryl to take Dwight's place. Who are you Daryl?  Daryl refuses to say he is Negan.  Man, he is about to kill Daryl. Daryl is thinking about his "family." That's why he won't break. Daryl is gonna die man...Man, he brought ole boy back to be on the fence. What a piece of crap. I hate Dwight. I guess, we will get to see Rick's group next week. Shaking my head, y'all... See you, next week...

Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe...

A child's nursery rhyme hasn't been made that creepy since A Nightmare on Elm Street's little jump rope ditty.  When we last saw our heroes, they were separated with Carol and Morgan on their way to what has to be the Kingdom, Father Gabriel in charge of the handful of people left in Alexandria, and the strongest of the warriors captured by Negan and his army. In an effort to get Maggie to the Hilltop Colony, our heroes, in their infinite wisdom, piled into an RV trying to get her help. Instead, they joined Glenn, Rosita, Michonne, and Daryl who had been captured by Dwight and Negan's Army.  Now, Rick, Carl, Michonne, Glenn, Maggie, Daryl, Aaron, Abraham, Eugene, Rosita, Sasha (did I miss anyone?) are on their knees at the mercy of Negan and his beloved, barbed-wired, baseball bat, Lucille. The season went dark as one of our beloved heroes died at Negan's hands, but which one?

After watching the preview trailer, I have concluded that it will be Abraham. Here's why. Rick has to watch, per Negan's instructions. Negan also said that they were to kill Carl if Rick got out of line. So, Rick and Carl are safe.  Daryl and Maggie are the walking wounded, so how would killing them make Negan look stronger and deadlier?  I'm eliminating all the women, because I have heard that he doesn't really do that to women. Plus, the bat is named after his wife. I don't think it will be Glenn, because even though he dies this way in the comics, the show likes to change things. For example, Andrea is still alive in the comics, and they have switched character outcomes before, like Dale, Carol, and Hershel. By the way, they already ticked people off with Glenn, so I don't think they want that again. Denise took Abraham's earlier death, plus Abraham looks like a real threat. He looks like he would rather die taking a chance slitting Negan's throat. He was also the one helping Rick carry Maggie. Who would be the better example? I'm left with Abraham who looks like the right hand man. Why does Negan have to be so evil and so handsome? PS...they had better not kill Daryl and Michonne.

Here we go, previously on The Walking Dead.  I'm not ready...Negan is such a butthole. Rick really has a pair, too.  He just saw somebody, A FRIEND, lose their head to a baseball bat, and he threatens to kill Negan. What is he going to do with Rick's hatchet?  Negan and Rick are now locked in the RV, and we are in a commercial break. I hate them so much right now...really. Y'all, they made us wait 7 months and now a commercial.

Rick and Negan in the RV. Negan has a pair, too. Leaving a hatchet within arms reach of Rick. This dude tore out a man's throat with his teeth. Negan is all bad with the gun, though. They are just screwing with us now...Flashbacks of each person through Rick's mind. He thinks he's breaking Rick right now. The Flashbacks are killing me..Negan threw the hatch out of the RV for Rick to fetch in a gang of walkers. It was on the roof, and they aren't going to let us know until the end of the show.

It was Abraham, who went down with a suck my nuts...Apropos. Adios, big read, I'm going to miss you and your one liners...Daryl just punched him.  Now, he is killing Glenn...Not Glenn, too!!! Why did they have to kill, two!!!??? Negan is going to die a horrible, horrible death at the hands of Rick Grimes. Negan has to die a horrible death at the hands of Rick Grimes...A horrible terrible death without weapons...I'm so angry right now...

Rick has officially lost it, and I hate to be Negan when he finds it...Rick just went to sleep. that alone says a lot about this dude. Negan is just rubbing salt. He is going to regret this in the near future. Why is he giving the hatchet back to Rick? I hope what is about to happen isn't what I think is going to happen...

What are they about to do to Carl? What is going on? He wants Rick to do what? What the what? Nah, man...Negan has gone to darn far...TOO FAR...Carol had to be crippled right now, cause she would have effed stuff up...He wanted him to chop off Carl's hand. What are they gonna do to Daryl?!!! Not Daryl, too!!! He is threatening to bring pieces of Daryl back? I hate that SOB..The last time someone threatened Carl like that, that dude had his throat bitten out...Rick is broken for the moment...just for the moment. Carol is on the bench...even with her crying breakdown, she is the real lethal weapon...

Abraham and Glenn are dead. Rick is broken. Carol and Morgan are MIA...I'm not in a good place right now. Carl is about to go full serial killer. Maggie is a strong woman telling them all to go back, and she is going to get to the Hilltop by herself. Rosita and Sasha making up. This is so sad...I'm crying now... Y'all...I'm sick watching them load up Glenn and Abraham...I'm sick...see y'all next week...

Dead Viewing: Season Six, Ep. 16: "Last Day on Earth"

As always, there will be spoilers, because these posts are my reactions to what is happening on The Walking Dead.


Well, folks, it's that time again-the end of another The Walking Dead season. I hate to use a cliché, but I'm already on pins and needles, and there are still 12 minutes until the show begins. What's going on with Daryl? I don't think he is dead, but how badly is he injured? What about Rosita, Michonne, and Glenn? Of Course the elephant in the room is the emergence of Negan. *Sidenote: AMC, did you really have to cast someone as hot as Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Negan. I'm going to have a really hard time vacillating between I want you, and I want you dead. Cause, y'all know this guy is hot, right?


Is Morgan going to die messing with this damn horse? That's the guy that Carol left alive by mistake. Is he following Morgan or Carol? Who the hell is this running? Where is Carl going? They are freaking me out with the whistles. All the good warriors are going in the RV? This makes no...come on!!!  I'll be your anchor man. Eugene, man. There is too much tension, and the credits haven't even run yet. Just Survive Somehow...WHY IS EVERYBODY LEAVING?!?! WHO IS GOING TO PROTECT THE FORT?  Y'all are leaving Gabriel in charge?!! What the why?! Gabriel is wearing a Mr. Roger's sweater for goodness sake. Carol is still alive. She looks a hot a** mess. Who is this guy they are beating? Is he from the Hilltop or Alexandria? I'm not going to even speculate on who will die tonight. Where is Heath and Tara?


Rick actually comforting somebody. She might die. Rick is the only character that I think is safe tonight. Abraham just has such a way with words. What the b**ch? The Saviors really are not that bright. Rick is at the I don't give an eff point right now.


Carol and Morgan...They want each other. There is so much tension between these two. Abraham is talking future actions with Sasha? Babies? Nah...One of you isn't coming back.  Really, Abraham? They are not going to return fire? How many roads are they going to go down tonight? HOW MANY ARMED POSTS DO THE SAVIORS HAVE? They are like freaking roaches...


Well, there's that guys friend the Saviors strung up.  Why did Morgan feel the need to cut him down? Aaaaaannnnd Carol's gone, again. Come on Carol. That Horse is still alive? these dudes have set up a zombie blockade? They put Daryl and Michonne's things on the zombies to let them know they have them. These Saviors are killing me. They cut Michonne's hair. They are dead meat.


They are lined up like cheerleaders on the road. Morgan walking around with this loud a** horse. I guess Carol got the dude that was following them.  Nope, she didn't get him. Crap. He just dropped the rosary. Seriously, he just shoots Carol?!  I have to believe that Morgan will finally see what Carol means. Having to kill for someone you love. We only have 38 Minutes left. This is how it opened. Who is in the barn?


Come on, she should have lost that baby by now. Maggie should have lost that baby by now. This guy doesn't really know what to do with Carol. There is Morgan!!! Who are these people in the laser tag outfits? The Saviors are true pieces of crap. Why are they wasting all of these resources? Eugene is finally making sense, and then he didn't. Eugene is sacrificing himself for everybody. Awwww...I didn't think I would be that upset about Eugene, but I have grown to love this dude.


Nahhhhh, not the whistles!!!! These sons of bs... How did they already get the RV? I want Rick to kill this dude first. Yeah, Carl is going to kill you, bruh...this is Terminus all over again. Man, all of them lined up on their knees. My nerves are shot right now, and they left Gabe in charge of Alexandria. He can't rescue nobody!!! For reals, he is going to that dark place where he bites out throats.  You know, Michonne is going to kill that dude with her sword. Here's Negan...Seriously, why is he so hot. Negan is quite calm. This is just...wow. Negan. I'm not liking this at all, but man, Negan is fine. Lucille is about to drink the blood of one of our beloved soldiers. Look at Carl, not even a little scared. Man, Negan, the suspense is killing me. Rick and Carl are just plotting. They are going to kill you, Negan. Not today. He called Carl the future serial killer. Man, We have to wait until freaking October!!!!!!  Who did he pick!!!! I freaking hate you!!! What the crap?!!!! I'm so pissed right now. This fade to black and with the killing off screen. I really hate this. Now, seven months to wait. I really hate this.
