Dead Viewing: Season 8, Episode 12-"The Key"

***WARNING***
***You may want to stop here.***
***There will be spoilers.***
***This is not a review. It is just my thoughts as I'm watching the show.***
***I update during commercials.***
Remember, I'm just writing what I see and reacting.

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...
