end of the war tonight?
do you really think they are going to wrap up this storyline with tonight’s episode?
shareAnother lame cliffhanger I'm sure! Bunch of bullshit.

War won in one second. More ridiculousness.
shareI thought it was a cool episode. Really, what else could they do....have yet ANOTHER drawn-out gunfight? Eugene's little trick was awesome. And Rick bearing down on Negan was intense. Ultimately, a hand-to-hand fight to the death. And even though Rick was physically bested, he proved once again...he will do anything he needs...to get the upper hand. His tactic...got Negan to drop his guard just long enough...to regain the upper hand. I thought it was a great episode.
Also, a very underrated scene....was Daryl showing Dwight mercy. That was a powerful and poignant scene for Dwight, and the acting was brilliant. It was really rather heartbreaking. His story arc has been a tragic one, and ultimately he wanted to redeem himself and do the right thing....knowing full well Rick's group still would never forgive him. I'm glad Dwight lived, and I hope he ends up doing something significant down the road.
Agreed a really good ending for once.
I just wish had of killed Negan though as you know he will eventually get out and start a fight back, but i guess without Rick saving him them there's no plot development for Maggie and Daryl to plot behind Ricks back in S9.
gbu....yes. It would have been easy to just have Rick kill Negan. Good guy triumphs over bad guy. But it creates a lot more complexity by Rick sparing his life.
shareMaggie and Daryl to plot behind Ricks back in S9 (and Jesus)
This totally blew my mind! What on Earth? BUT, I'm thinking this will be the swan song for both Rick and Michonne ( and Andy and Danai). This must be their absolutely last season.
So EVERY Savior loads his/her firearm with untested ammunition and goes into battle?
Not one gun was loaded with old ammunition. Every Savior pulled the trigger at exactly the same moment?
Just because Negan test fired a few rounds from a revolver (probably .38 or .32) doesn't mean the ammo for all of the other caliber rifles/pistols would work (.223, 7.62, 9mm, .45).
And of course everyone else, people with tons of firearm experience by this point, was too dumb to recognize Eugene's deception?
And all of the guns blow up in the Savior's hands???? Would have been better, and more realistic if Eugene had sabotaged the cartridges with a light powder load, causing the bullets to practically drop out of the barrel, and causing the firearms to not cycle properly and "jam". That would have given the "good guys" a few seconds to get the upper hand.
Yea, a little deus ex machina.
sharer5d4d2....if you approach a show like this in that way, you will just find infinite flaws and you will be miserable. It would be like watching Enter the Dragon and saying: "Oh sure, like each of that group of 25 black belts are going to run willy-nilly straight into Bruce Lee's punches, one at a time, and never land a blow". It would be like watching Commando and saying: "Oh sure, Arnie is running through all sorts of grenades blowing up all around him, yet not one powder burn or one scratch of shrapnel." It would be like watching Rambo and saying: "Oh sure, Rambo can hit 80 people with his one gun, all by himself...but not one of the enemy's multiple machine guns even NICK him." It would be like saying: "Oh sure, a shark is going to get a running start and actually LEAP up onto Quint's boat like that." It would be like saying: "Oh sure, a boxing match would even REMOTELY look like this choreographed exchange of punches....20 unanswered blows from Rocky, then 20 unanswered blows from Clubber, etc, etc." It would be like saying: "Oh sure, like Rocky could REALLY take the beating Thunderlips dished out on him, and then just spring up....run over, pick Thunderlips up and toss him out of the ring." It would be like saying: "Oh sure, Philo Beddoe could take continuous blows, square in the face, from Jack Wilson.....each blow would make a loud "CRACK!" sound, like 2 boards smacking together....and he just stay on his feet and keep taking those kinds of blows." It would be like saying: "Oh sure, like John McClane would fall down that elevator shoot, miraculously grab onto an open vent...and then defy physics pulling himself in."
Would you like me to keep going? Because there's 150,000 more where that came from. Why not just enjoy it for the outlandish, unrealistic fantasy world that has been created, and not sweat the small stuff? You tightass. Just sayin.
Yes. Please continue.
shareI agree with this. I was happy the way it ended. Yes, I would love to have seen Negan killed, but this is more interesting.
Agree about Dwight. Daryl showed infinite mercy and restraint. I hope you are right and Dwight does wonderful things in the "New World Order".
So, gentlemen, let's discuss the prospect of ending the war tonight.
Gentlemen, I have no intention of killing Negan and killing Simon and killing Eugene and killing the Redhead Chick, not to mention winning the war single-handedly for the Hilltop, only later to find myself standing before an Alexandrian tribunal. If you want to win the war tonight, we have to make a deal.
