3. Kirkman was saying the worlds coming together thing will be taking off fast

So who's the mystery person following Rick?

[NewJeffCT]

4. Not sure who it is

to be honest. I thought maybe it was Dwight or maybe it was the girl from Oceanside, but apparently it is not either of them.

[Baclava]

5. It could be them

6. Thank you for posting! Forgot it started up today.

[NewJeffCT]

8. well, we need an escape from the depressing real world

with the happy go lucky world of The Walking Dead.

[Baitball Blogger]

9. You are not kidding.

[bettyellen]

20. Man in the High Castle helped me get through last month!

[NewJeffCT]

21. the second season was interesting

since the entire thing was beyond the book. Season 1 ended where the book did.

[bettyellen]

22. Didn't read that, but the one written by the guy who wrote Devil in the White City was good-

About American diplomats in Berlin during the Nazi take over. Here we go!

[Solly Mack]

7. Yay!

[NewJeffCT]

10. a few more articles

11. Viewing repeats. Negan picked up Judith. Child needs to be scoured now.

[NewJeffCT]

12. Negan may be a horrible tyrant

but, I don't think he's that dirty. And, he cooked Carl spaghetti!

[Solly Mack]

13. I wouldn't want him touching me. I'd feel dirty.

Rosita is making me angry all over again.


I may not make it to the premiere. I'm getting tired.

[NewJeffCT]

14. ok

I understand that.

I'm hoping for a Rosita, Sasha and Maggie bottle episode...

[bettyellen]

16. Why is Rosita pissing you off?

[Solly Mack]

48. I was watching the episode where she bullied Eugene into making her a bullet.

Haven't seen tonight's show yet. Wasn't feeling well.

[bettyellen]

15. I missed all you guys! Am watching the Grammy's now...How is everyone?

[NewJeffCT]

17. getting by

in Trump's America

[bettyellen]

18. I'm going to switch over and watch TWD too. So sweet of you to give up those Hamilton tickets...

I know if it was me I'd have the two of them arm wrestle and take the other ticket!

[NewJeffCT]

19. I entered the lottery twice

once in my name and once in my wife's name. The entry under my wife's name won, though she could have passed the tickets to me. She loved the show, but her overall interest in theater is much less than mine. (My daughter was going no matter what)

[bettyellen]

34. Well done!

[bettyellen]

23. Here we go!

[NewJeffCT]

24. Gabriel not paying attention on the watch

it seems

[bettyellen]

26. I'm trying to remember who is at which camp- Maggie and who else is with the saviors?

[NewJeffCT]

27. Maggie is at Hilltop

with Sasha and Jesus and Gregory.

Eugene got taken to the Saviors/Sanctuary

[NewJeffCT]

30. Ezekiel is at the Kingdom

with Carol and Morgan

[bettyellen]

31. Oh god yes! I hate it when they get all spilt up- thank you!!

[txwhitedove]

25. Who was that, the hooded figure!??

[NewJeffCT]

28. same figure from the end of the midseason finale

I think. My guess was Dwight or the girl from Oceanside

[txwhitedove]

29. I like the Dwight theory, but that was creepy.

[NewJeffCT]

32. Interesting encounter

at the Kingdom. Funny reactions to the tiger

[bettyellen]

33. Carol! She's still a favorite!!

[NewJeffCT]

35. yes

she could be a key in the long run

[Liberal Veteran]

36. I think if Carol advises Ezekiel to join, he will.

Now she has a way to know about Abraham and Glenn, at least.

[bettyellen]

39. You called it!

[bettyellen]

37. Yay teamwork!

[NewJeffCT]

40. Yes

interesting to see Rosita stepping up, and then that was a cool way to smash your way through a lot of walkers.

[bettyellen]

42. Have you ever seen Ghost Ship? Best start to a horror movie ever, and you can basically stop

Watching after the crazy first big scene.

[NewJeffCT]

44. No

I've never seen Ghost Ship

[Baitball Blogger]

51. That opening haunted me.

[bettyellen]

55. It was something, wasn't it? The rest was a let down. HA just got the pun!!

[bettyellen]

38. Ghost Ship reference! HA!

[bettyellen]

41. Well Adele just got the biggest emotional standing O ever,

Not sure for what though!

[Laffy Kat]

43. Kudzu. That stuff takes over everything.

Who are those peeps?

[NewJeffCT]

45. I'm bullish on kudzu

it's going places

[Baclava]

46. Cool, mystery boot tracks led to a whole new group of people

Another mystery. Who was Rick smiling at in the last scene?

[Iggo]

47. I assumed he was smiling because he was looking at an army...

...right at the time he needs an army.

[Baclava]

49. I thought maybe it was because he saw somebody he knew

the preacher?

[NewJeffCT]

50. that's what I was thinking

myself

[Baitball Blogger]

53. I don't think it was the preacher based on teasers for next week.

I do think he sees an army, though I wonder where they have been hiding all this time. Unless its the Muddy Boot gang.

[Baitball Blogger]

54. Aaron said he was going to help the preacher.

What is up with that? What is the preacher up to?

[Iggo]

52. On my second watching, I'd have to agree.

He was looking at something or someone specifically, not all around like I thought he was.

[Baclava]

56. Did anyone else notice a head popping up in the car with father Gabriel when he left Alexandria??

Somebody riding shotgun

?w=600

[Iggo]

57. I did not.

[Baclava]

60. i always re-watch episodes ...i want to know

possibilities

the comic line always provides possibilities

[steve2470]

58. yep I saw it

At first I thought Gabriel might be going rogue but then I saw the person pop up in the seat.

[Baclava]

59. his behavior sure seemed strange, so we got all kinds of mysteries going on now,

Muddy Boots, getaway cars; new peoples
