The Walking Dead: No Brainer (37)

Yeah, at the beginning I was totally convinced that Sasha and Abraham were gonna die. I got so caught up in the scene I forgot that Darryl was still around. Same with Glen. The show runners have definitely succeeded in making me legitimately think any character can die at any time.

 

Maybe the invincible Glen thing is to build up a false sense of security for him, only to have him meet his doom like he did in the comic?

 

Loved the ep. Definitely one of the best in the series.

Daryl is a badass, glad he's given something more to do than drive on his bike. But there could be trouble ahead...

Spoiler

apparently there was a car seen driving off in the background after he blows them to bits and the speculationis that was Negan driving away. If he saw the whole thing, Daryl will meet the bat. There's a lot of sound logic behind that assumption, all of which I hate because Daryl is hands down my favorite character.

 

Spoiler: show and comic spoiler theories

I think that theory has some merit because I read many of the actors comments saying how heartbroken they were over certain developments during this arc. Andy Lincoln said he felt sick to his stomach when he read the script, and it is well known that he and Norman are definitely bros. I mean I guess it could still be Glenn meeting the bat, but I think it could be Daryl's time to go. Gimple said the plot will not be completely identical for this storyline too so maybe that will be one of the divergent elements.

 

That was a really fun episode. At first it sort of felt like the usual TWD filler episode but apparently they figured out how to do it right.

Spoiler: Stuff and Thangs

I can watch a mini series of Daryl and Rick's road trip to finding supplies. These two just have an awesome chemistry between them. Wasn't really expecting Jesus so soon, thought they were going to spend an episode showing the aftermath of last week, instead they did a "couple weeks" time jump. The ending was also..... something. My favorite part(s) of the comics starts when Jesus appears so I'm really looking forward to the rest of the season. Let's see how this goes.

 

Fun episode. Digging that Jesus dude.

 

They are following the comics almost to a tee and its going to be one fun ride.

A lot of awesome lines this episode:

Spoiler

"your world is about to get a whole lot bigger."

"Looks like s***"

"When you were pouring that bisquik, were you looking to make pancakes?"

"Put your weapons down!"
"I don't think I will."

"It'll cost us something."

Maggie's whole deal talk with Gregory.

"What?" (Never seen someone stab someone else in the throat?)

 

I finally caught up. Read the comics some time ago so i know what will go down... still can't wait.

 

Jesus is awesome... but we already knew that .
Seriously though, this guy is fun .
