Also, these garbage people are just boring and weird.

This season has been completely drawn out.

Here's what you need to know if you're skipping this episode: Rick and Michonne care about each other, they find guns, the garbage people want more guns than what they found, Tara tells baby Judith about the seaside group (ok, so we know she's gonna tell Rick), and Sasha and Rosita are going to go snipe Negan.

It's a culture we don't know presenting a new way of tackling the zombie apocalypse. It's when we see Rick and co. go on a supply run for the 100th time that I hate it. At this point in the comics, the spare walker is no longer the threat, it's the people. When they focus on that element, it's a better show.

I mean seriously, what more do Carol, and I hate to say it but...Daryl have to offer us at this point? Im just so tired of their Shtick.

And if not her then maybe others due to her lack of action.(or over reaction)

You then have Gabriel, Rosita, and Eugene (phase 3 survivors). Other than that, it's all DC area people. It goes without saying that eventually that number of pre DC area folks goes down as time goes on, but I'll leave that at that.

Negan's past is just now being introduced in a series of side comics in the publisher's monthly promo magazine. It's good, but do not expect it anytime soon. We're not ready to add depth to his character (yes, his character gets SOOOOO much better).

I was wondering about the Whisperers...   You think they will come after the Negan arc or kinda get introduced (if not directly)  during this upcoming conflict.(next season)

(03-06-2017, 06:44 PM)BmorePat87 Wrote: My guess is this season finishes like this:

Episode 13- trailers implies Kingdom drama, shit goes down, Carol is ready to fight, she has Ezekiel join Rick.
Ep 14- Rick and Co go to Seaside to get guns and help. Get at least one.
Ep 15- Sasha and Rosita are in the Sanctuary and get caught. 
Ep 16- Negan brings his captives back to Rick and Co who then tell him to **** off and begin the war.

Then the first half of season 8 is the war. The second half of season 8 is the precursor to the Whisperers arc, with the season ending with talking zombies  :O

Then we see the Whisperers in season 9 and deal with them for the whole season. There's a particular event that will make headlines that I can see occurring prior to the mid season break in this season. 

By that point, the comic will be about 35-36 issues ahead of the show. Currently it's about 50 issues ahead.
