After Rick comes to the realization that Alexandria might not be as safe as he thought, decisions must be made about where to go.

1. I haven't read the comics

but my partner has. I try not to ask him who's good who's bad but always end up doing so.
I wanna know, don't wanna know. ugh

This season is looking really good

[NewJeffCT]

2. well, nobody

is 100% good or bad on the show.

6. The Benny Hill thing was awesome!

[NewJeffCT]

7. yep

that music is classic

[Baitball Blogger]

8. It was a classic!

[NewJeffCT]

9. welcome back

only a few minutes to go

[Baitball Blogger]

10. Can't wait.

Wonder how Carl is going to take to Michonne and Rick's new relationship.

[bettyellen]

11. Hey guys! The oscars are boring, so here I am!

[NewJeffCT]

13. Chris Rock's opening monologue

was pretty good

[bettyellen]

15. yes, but went on too long.

[charlie and algernon]

12. "We should talk..."

"The fuck you want?"
"You're out of milk."

[NewJeffCT]

14. LOL

Close your eye Carl...

[Iggo]

66. Still funny.

[charlie and algernon]

16. Shit. Abraham is getting flashbacks.

He's a goner.

[NewJeffCT]

17. Looks like Sasha shot down Abe

but, why fool around if you have Rosita

[Baitball Blogger]

21. Abe is a lost lamb and he feels a closeness to Sasha because she also

went through a rough patch. But, he seems to be a loyal man because he's still with Rosita.

[bettyellen]

18. Ohh, he still likes Sasha.

[NewJeffCT]

19. yes

her and Rosita are both quite attractive.

[NewJeffCT]

20. Carl finds out the hard way

about his "mom" and "dad" sleeping together.

[charlie and algernon]

22. Heh, and everyone else found out at the same time too

[NewJeffCT]

23. yep

kind of an awkward moment for the two of them

[NewJeffCT]

67. On Talking Dead

Maggie said that scene had to be filmed over & over because the crew was laughing so hard...

[Baitball Blogger]

24. "The world is about to get bigger."

Lots of potential for plotlines if the villages can manage to remain civilized.

[NewJeffCT]

25. yes

that's a big IF

[bettyellen]

26. I am the only woman who cannot stand Rick getting sexy. Bleeech.

[NewJeffCT]

27. wasn't he most known

for a romantic lead role before he was on The Walking Dead?

[bettyellen]

29. I've only seen him in "Love Actually" and his part was kind of creepy- he had a huge crush on

his friend's finance. So much so that he was always cold to her. And she finds out after the wedding when she insists on seeing the footage her shot of the wedding- and it's all close ups of only her. Most women would be creeped out by that, but of course she is charmed. Bleh.

[NewJeffCT]

28. gotta love Abraham

were you trying to make pancakes when you were pouring the Bisquick?

[bettyellen]

31. it's raining so he is wearing galoshes. Doubling up on galoshes!

[charlie and algernon]

30. Hilltop!

[NewJeffCT]

32. yep

and, it looks like we'll get Gregory tonight, too

[bettyellen]

33. Gregory! Don't know who that is, but....

[NewJeffCT]

38. yeah

he's kind of a dick

[bettyellen]

39. Yup, that he is!

[charlie and algernon]

41. Yeah, but that was a great scene

If we get more scenes like that, negotiations over civilization with great actors, the Walking Dead is going to have some great seasons coming up.

[charlie and algernon]

34. Hey, it's that guy!

He's in everything! Who the hell is he, lol?

[NewJeffCT]

35. Lots of one liners from Abe tonight

Good Gracious Ignatius!

[bettyellen]

36. what did Rick mutter under his breath on the stairs, after telling Maggie to talk to him first?

[charlie and algernon]

37. Xander Berkley!

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0075359/

[NewJeffCT]

40. yep

he's been in just about everything, it seems. I remember him playing another ass in Nikita

[bettyellen]

42. The Oscars is doing a pre written scroll with Winner X would like to thank.... Y, Z, A B, C......

that starts going as soon as they are walking toward the stage. New and better ways to bum wish the winners out of there every year!

[bettyellen]

43. Aww, and they just washed up, too.

[NewJeffCT]

44. that certainly took a change

for the worse.

[charlie and algernon]

45. I'm still afraid for Abraham tonight.

Great one-liners all night.
And now he just lost Rosita's necklace.

[NewJeffCT]

47. yes

certainly a bad sign. The Walking Dead usually isn't very subtle with their symbolism.

[bettyellen]

48. Oh shit, is he the surprise guest on Talking Dead? Nooooooo!

[Baitball Blogger]

46. Getting bad vibes for Abraham.

He lost his killer instinct and he lost his necklace from Rosita.

[NewJeffCT]

49. Now we get The Saviors

introduced.

[NewJeffCT]

50. Confrontation

is something we've always been good at

[NewJeffCT]

51. The Art of the Deal

by Maggie Greene

[bettyellen]

52. I noticed last week they had new photographs, this week- sonograms?

[charlie and algernon]

53. NOOO!! Never show baby pictures before a big fight!!!!

Haven't Glenn and Maggie ever seen a War movie?

[bettyellen]

54. Too calm of an episode for my tastes!

[Joe Shlabotnik]

57. 2 'calm' episodes in a row,

but its pretty hard to top the mid-season return. Its building though.

[Solly Mack]

55. Decent episode to get things rolling.

Tick-Tock goes the death clock.

[Joe Shlabotnik]

56. yup Abraham and Glen are done 'fer

or so we are being led to believe.

[Solly Mack]

58. They do seem the most likely given the portents.

And, well, the comics.

[NewJeffCT]

59. Not sure

Daryl & Abe both saying they had an easy time with The Saviors before is a bad sign for both of them

[Solly Mack]

61. I hissed at Daryl for saying that.

He is another possibility.

[Joe Shlabotnik]

60. I've never read the comics

but have heard enough to know. That said, the TV show can go any way it pleases, but Glen has escaped death too many times, and Abe is cracking up.

[Solly Mack]

63. I think Abraham is starting to think he can have more.

I think that's messing with him. He sees Sasha and he sees a future.

Rosita is kind of the rebound companion, so to speak.

His wife is dead, his children are dead, he has given up on living. Eugene comes along and gives him purpose. Something to latch onto and not think about his family. Rosita was part of that episode - the battle to get to D.C..

I think maybe Abraham is now seeing possibilities, and that's why all the questions about babies and such, and why he's so seemingly self-assured in his opposition to it. He's not really against the idea anymore, he's just fostered a "What's the point?" attitude as a defense mechanism for so long, it's hard to put it down now. I think he's asking questions to compare with things he is already thinking.

I think he's in love with Sasha. He might care for Rosita, but he's in love with Sasha.

Or so it seems to me.

[Joe Shlabotnik]

64. Interesting insight,

But I still think it will end tragically for all of them.

[Solly Mack]

65. Oh, I agree. I think he's a goner.

Which would play right into Sasha's issues - all the men in her life die.

[ebayfool]

62. I'm thinking Abraham and Spencer.

They both have been getting loving touches lately. Kiss of death when the characters are made more sympathetic!

Dayum. Or Sasha.

[NewJeffCT]

68. preview from next week

full of big spoilers...

[charlie and algernon]

69. hmmm

Highlight to see spoiler speculation: [font color=white]I wonder if the Walking Dead would have the guts to do a Kirkman Remix and show a woman (Maggie or Carol) get beaten with a bat? Even for a show that shows kids getting shot in the head, that may be a bridge too far. Though a podcast I listen to has been saying that Tara and Heath could be candidates for the bat. Afterall, they'd be coming back from their two week mission just in time for the showdown. They've also speculated that the season finale could show Negan doing eeny, meeny, miney, moe, but the screen fades to black just as he gets to moe and we have to wait till next season to find out who got the bat.[/font]

[NewJeffCT]

70. True

they've actually lightened up the show in a few spots - in the comics, Michonne wasn't just attacked by the Governor, he was raped by her. On the show, Beth attempted suicide, but in the comics, Tyreese's daughter actually hanged herself. (And, the daughter's boyfriend failed to kill himself and was killed when Tyreese found him with his now dead daughter)

That said, they did show the guy that became the Penguin on Gotham dying by baseball bat back at Terminus.
