What if she's wearing an Eric mask?

But what if the mask came from a man?

Beane must be a really busy man.

Me on Lehner's save percentage being even lower this year: It's been 8 games. Who the hell cares?

Ahh, so you think she could be poisoning their own water supply? I hadn't thought of that. She'd be hurting her own supply as well though. I'd say those scenes played out as if Alpha was sending her to do it.

Sabourin is the one who Auston Matthews did the "who are you" jersey check to in a preseason game, right?

I don't know, the nut tapping lecture was thrilling stuff. Seriously, that whole scene was pure gold. They've done it a few times on the show, but we still have no idea if the tainted water or food will actually do anything to you. There was the walker in the well in season 2. The canibals eating Bob's tainted leg in season 5 (?). But then you've got people walking around covered in walker blood and guts and being completely fine. And didn't someone freak out at some point after having blood drip into their mouth? So we have absolutely no idea if it actually does anything to you. But if they're fine after being covered in the stuff, I doubt highly diluted blood in a river will do much either. The interesting thing there though is that they teased a bit that Gamma is actually having issues with Alpha. That's a quick change given how quick she was to off her own sister. But yes, it should get very interesting now with Negan in place. I won't get spoilery, but I hope it goes in a different route than where the comics did.

Even with that, they need that last second line of defense to protect the bridge. Also, with the intersection right there, that advanced warning marker doesn't work for anyone who turns there. Can you really put up something on those streets too that would be hit even by the trucks that have no intention of turning?

Spoiler alert: My friend walked by a karate studio this weekend that let the kids show up in halloween costumes. He saw a taco beating up Kylo Ren.

At least he won't have to dig through the Bluth's trash for a meal anymore.

An advertisement disguised as an apology? I don't know a thing about these guys, but I'd play both sides too if it sold more of my product.

They are pushing that one pretty hard right now. I'm getting a little sick of the ads that run in front of every single episode of shows I watch on Amazon. That one does have me curious though.

Daryl let him out, didn't he? It seems a bit reminiscent of when he was let out of the Sanctuary (I forget if it was Dwight or Sherry). You'd think that there's no way he'd ever let Negan go, but it looks like the whole fatherhood thing has him doing anything he can for Lydia. Saddiq's PTSD is so severe at this point that I think we'll be finding out shortly that he was forced to behead a couple of the pike victims. The tearful goodbye for Luke as he's leaving with Michonne and little ass kicker? It seems like they're trying a little too hard to make us think he's not coming back alive.

So do you want a prize or something? The whole thing was a string of a few comments in response to that point.

Definitely. I fully expect to see them fighting together at some point during this movie though. There's going to have to be a team up against Palpatine.

Cornell absolutely belongs on any list. As for this specific list, they nailed #1 and then stopped trying.

Pretty much all of JJ Abrams' movie was a repeat of storylines and this one is him again. So I wouldn't be surprised if we see a bit more of that. Just bringing back Palpatine fits into that. By the way, I really wish they had held back on any reference to him in each of the trailers. It could have been a huge surprise. But anyway, could they hide knowledge of a twin from Leia the way they did with Anakin? I'm sure it's much tougher to do with a mother, but I wonder if they could try it. Then Luke "abandons" her but keeps a eye from the distance Obiwan-style. That doesn't really mesh well with his portrayal in the Last Jedi, but maybe after he lost his way, he lost track of her. Who knows.

I haven't watched El Camino yet, but I really hope Jessie Pinkman doesn't flee to MA.

You know what throws me off the most in that shot? He's wearing the mask. They've pretty much completely moved away from that thing at this point. Anyway, that trailer gives me a sibling vibe for those two.

It's an incredibly minor thing, but I'll point out that the +14 does include the fake goal awarded for winning that one shootout. It doesn't change your point one bit, but I really wish the NHL wouldn't include those in their official stats. Anyway, I wanted to say that the number of OT wins gives me a little doubt, but looking over the schedule, there's actually been less of those than I thought. I guess that's the problem when they play 3 west coast games that I can't watch, all I remember is the three consecutive OT games just prior to that trip. So far, they're different than last year. I don't see that quit that I was so worried about, particularly in a game like last night after falling behind 2-0 early. Speaking of OT, that one last night was great. They lost control of the puck just once during the entire 3 minutes. Granted that one loss of control lead to a rush the other way, but they completely controlled the entire OT.

I was waiting for her to turn, but I must have looked away before the eyes opened. But yeah, alpha’s got some scouts on them and Carol probably did see a few in the woods. She’s crazy but not that crazy I guess. yeah, he’s the only new one so far this season. I’d love to know where he came from. Some highway men tie in maybe?

So it seems like Alpha has someone inside the communities. Lydia would be too obvious. It makes me wonder about Siddiq, but all the PTSD doesn't really mesh well with him being a mole... unless its guilt. After that, the only meaningful options would be someone from Magna's group since they're still new to the community. If it winds up being some no namer, that feels like weak storytelling to me: "oh yeah, you know this person we've shown once lurking in the background? Mole." Edit: I guess your last line probably hits on it. There are single whispers hidden in various places, reporting back. I just don't know how any of them would have been able to survive that storm unnoticed, and then able to report back. Did the eyes open on the dead one? I wasn't really paying attention.

The oh so common home-and-home series with the Sharks. I can't say I've seen one of those before. Thank god they're back to start times I can actually watch.

I've had trouble with the site recently too. I can access things on my phone, but anything I've tried on the laptop has not worked.

There's only one piece that is going to get that return and it's Ristolainen. Even then, I'm not so sure you get it with a one-for-one deal anyway. So I don't think the possibility of additional pieces in any deal was ever out of the picture.
