I thought for an obvious filler episode it was a decent enough job at providing backstory to just how crazy Alpha is and slowly peel away at Lydia's character. I hate how they did a great Negan/Judith story last episode and then in typical TWD fashion neither he nor Judith appear in the following episode. I was hoping the next back story episode we would've gotten was Negan's and I think after last week this would've been the perfect time for it. I just hope we get alot more Uncle Negan and Judith scenes imo thats been the best thing we've gotten since Rick's disappearance. From the previews of next weeks episode it looks like its gonna be a good one. With only 6 episodes till the season finale these next couple of episodes should cover a lot, I just hope we get atleast one episode that covers what happened with the X marks and what went on right after Rick went missing.

A lot of people have been very critical of the show this season, but to me this past episode was one of the worst in the franchise.
The A story that was set up promisingly turned out to be just a bunch of standing around, then leaving.
The B story involving the Kingdom residents' mission was infuriatingly frivolous for the risk involved, then to see them just brush off the danger was again an insulting gesture to the threats their world should pose. Showing expertise in these situations is okay, but the amount of times the group has entered God mode with no losses has been ridiculous the past couple seasons.
Not-Carl making his need to get some strange seem like some noble and altruistic move. If a dude was in Lydia's place he wouldn't have thought twice about the Hilltop's actions.
Daryl going on a rescue mission (instigated by aforementioned p*sshead Henry) with someone who doesn't have all mandated senses to help stake out all threats, and can only communicate with Daryl by freaking notepad. In the dead of night.

For those of you who wanted Carl dead... I give you HENRY! Yay! /sarcasm I hate to admit it now but I was one to want Carl gone from the show I was never a huge fan but Henry could be the worst character on the entire show. I liked the young Henry before the time jump but this Henry is rough to watch. Tonight's episode was good imo the Kingdom stuff was a little boring but I love Zeke and Jerry so I was happy seeing them again .All the stuff with Daryl and Alpha was good and next week's episode looks great I'm glad we get to see Beta so soon and the Whispers camp. Its a lot of things to get through before the finale if they stay close with the comics and answering the questions about the X marks so the last couple episodes should cover a lot of ground .

I thought it was a good episode tonight the stuff with Gabe,Rosita, Eugene and the Doctor I could've done without but I think that was mostly done to see up something down the road. It was great to see Beta can't wait till next week to see him and Daryl together. The more I see of Judith the more I like her,she was great in the scene with Michonne. Speaking of Michonne I know she's getting a lot of hate since Rick's disappearance but I think we will get the answers to why she:s like this and the X's real soon.

Daryl vs Beta was awesome! I didnt think Daryl could come close to filling Rick's boots but he has proven me wrong he's been great imo since the mid season premiere. I wasnt impressed with the Highwaymen but thats about the only thing I didnt like about this episode the rest was really good.

i've actually gotten somewhat invested in the walking dead after the last season and a half. i feel like its slowlyyyy starting to get a LOST vibe to it. i can't quite figure out what exactly it is, but its pulling me back in
i say this as i'm watching a replay of tonight's episode. so there's that

The Highwaymen were my favorite part because for once they encountered a new group and solved their differences peaceably. No tanks, no cannibalism, no executions, just a simple offer of letting them watch a movie. Not everybody in the zombie apocalypse has to be an ass.

I think the part about the movie is what I didnt like the most ,just seemed odd that they been taking people's stuff but now they happy to work for free to get to watch a movie .I guess if I haven't watched TV or seen a movie in about 10 years I would jump at the chance too but i did like they're scene when they came riding in on horseback to save Tara and company . Tonight's episode was another great one imo I hope we see Winnie again maybe as a Whisper or let her turn good. Kids always freak me out in horror movies and these kids was just the right amount of brutal for me . I hope the fair lives up to the comics but if its anything like the show has been since Rick's disappearance I say its probably gonna be better then the comics.

Tonight's episode was pretty goddamn good. I'm looking forward to next week's finale...at least it doesn't interfere with WrestleMania like it has in the past.

And tonight finally delivered!! Holy crap!! That was hard to watch. Some of the longtime characters gone just like that! I hope next week ends with them letting Negan out and giving him Lucille, saying they need his help. That would be awesome.

As a reader of the comics I'm sad but also relieved. The King survived.

Seeing Enid and Tara really bothered me the most. For sure. Henry got to me too...even though he was a dipcrapfor most of the season. As soon as I saw Daryl go to stop Carol from looking, I figured it'd be Henry.

I think it supposed to be around a hour and 15 mins next week . This was a great episode even better then I expected it to be from the spoilers . I hope we see Michonne or Judith let Negan out next week and get to see a Negan vs Beta fight. Since Alpha mentioned wanting to meet the Queen I hope we get Killer Carol back to match up with Alpha .
