When did King Ezekiel escape from the Saviors? I must have dozed off during the last episode.

Here's a review:

But weren’t the Saviors using weapons covered with zombie blood? This gets it into their blood stream via stabbing or slashing. That isn’t the same as smearing zombie blood on your skin unless you believe it should infect them by absorption through their skin? I can understand if some of the blood got into their mouths or eyes.

The issue I had was how fast the wounded people turned but that was just to make the plot work.

Apparently Carol knew the bearded walker when she and Morgan split up. Who was the bearded walker, anyone know?

The original guy that was running Hilltop? Didn’t he bolt along with the few savior prisoners in last weeks episode when the gate was opened by the kid?

Edit. I thought you were referring to one of the walkers that had the kid trapped.

That was the single worst job of tying someone up any time, anywhere.

**SPOILER** It didn't work.

I don’t think so. I think she just recognized that it was lanced with the boy’s stick.

Yeah, I re-watched that part and Carol noticed it was Henry's stick in the walker's gut.

They are doing a little evil/good role reversal just like Breaking Bad. They made Negan look like the good guy trying to console the garbage lady.

They lost me.

How did the garbage lady tie up Negan. Then Negan ends up with a flare and a gun and the photos and still be tied up???

That's not the part where they lost me. They lost me when the garbage lady didn't kill Negan.

I also laughed at the scene where the garbage lady plays dead by posing with her ass up in the air. Good thing for her they didn't have any necrophiliacs in Negan's team.

Then after she gets up, she takes off her outer clothing to reveal a pristine white underthing. Which is trumped by her going into a pristine Ikea furnished bedroom.

These people are taking themselves too seriously. I just want a zombie show.

And in the end, Negan picks up a mysterious hitch hiker whose identity is yet to be revealed. I'm going to be anti-deadwood and not give a fuck who it is.

I'm guessing it's the Savior woman that knows Dwight set up the ambush that got all but her killed.

Good suggestion. Next week's preview showed Negan ominously wanting a word with Dwight. Throw in Simon's reckoning and Negan's running short of officers. Maybe Eugene gets Peter Principled up to way over his funky head.

I wasn't paying full attention to this episode. What did Rick lie about?

Hilltop had captured some Saviors who broke free. They in turn then captured Rick and Morgan. As there were some injured Saviors, Rick convinced most of the rest if they all went back to Hilltop, the injured could get medical care. Rick said they'd be safe, his word as a man. Then Rick and Morgan killed the lot.

Not unlike Darryl and Rick running across a Savior in the weeds some time back. Rick gave his word that the guy would be ok. Darryl promptly shot that guy. I believe I said at the time, Rick's assurances of safety are as good as Jack Bauer's, prepare to die.

I'm getting more and more embarrassed to reply to this thread.

I don't really care what happens to Rick at this point. I basically see him at the same level as Negan. The only characters I really trust at this point are Carol, Michonne, Maggie (since she kept her deal with "Martha Stewart"), and possibly Dwight.

So is this going to turn into an only women can keep their testosterone in check enough to save humanity show?

I love how this thread stayed on page 2 even after the latest episode. Smile

That's how bad this show has become.

I welled up a little hearing Carl read his letters.

OK, I didn't....

I looked for it, too, but I wasn't going to revive a zombie thread. LOL
