Good episode last night, some vengeance being dished out.

Not bad.
I hope the next two episodes aren't like Carl's last 2.   Just kill the man off and watch the Talking Dead for the fluff

My guess is A's are leaders, B's are workers.  I think that's why she captured Rick and Negan.  (Both A's)

yet she said she thought Rev was a B.

Another dumb episode.  At least we know why some of the saviors were killed (vengeance).  Trash lady and her helicopter friends add another layer of stupidity.  Really, nobody else has seen that chopper?  So ready for this series to be done.

The jadis stuff is really weird, but I thought everything with the saviors in this was done really well.  For the first time in a while, there seems to be some logic behind their writing.  Of course there's going to be bad blood between these people and it's not going to go well.  Maggie and Daryl are completely ok with someone getting revenge on the people who killed their husband and brother?  It all makes perfect sense.  The only real issue I have with any of it is how poorly developed most of these characters are right now.  But that's the new writer being forced to play the crappy cards she was dealt.

Rick saw it.

yes, he did, just not at night when things a QUITE!!! 

 

 

The helicopters have been seen throughout the series, starting back in the very first episode.  

 

It's a shame that he just casually threw that sweet HK MP5SD5 away..  Definetly picked that up off around a Navy base near Alexandria.

I’m guessing the bridge is the symbolic bond holding Rick’s vision together, and that in the end it will get knocked down by the raging waters, and Rick will get washed downstream with it, thus leaving his fate unknown.

The opening graphic says it all. 

 

A murder of crows.

Oh come on.    How does Rick escape that ???

 

 

I'm guessing he doesn't.  I'm guessing they show a long drawn out series of events of him getting back to Alexandria, but then it's all just one big hallucination.  He dies right there on that rebar.

This is a pretty good guess.

I'm already preparing myself for Hardwick's over-dramatic and breathless promo for Talking Dead next week, when he'll help us "process" what we saw in next week's episode.  I enjoy TWD, but the talking dead is just too much for me.  It's like when the WWF kept trying to push that it was real. There's no stakes in this show or characters that I need therapy after the fact.   

For my money I think someone flies in on a magic carpet, saves Rick and then he lures the herds to the bridge and Rick has to metaphorically and literally take out the bridge to save Alexandria, etc...

The only thing enjoyable about talking is the Quiz's and the memorials  

 

oh and calling that drunk from Alexandria a Porch Dick.

The whole thing feels like a bit of a cop out.  They have to be taking him very far away or else he'd never stop trying to get back to Judith and Michonne.  But anyway, I get that he was on the other side of the bridge, but wouldn't they at least try to recover the body at some point?  Or at least try to spot him from a distance to confirm he's dead and then put him down (assuming a blast wouldn't destroy someone's head)?

 

And then, of course, the helicopter flies in during broad daylight and no one notices it?  The rest of it was fine, but the helicopter stuff really takes it too far.

The plan for multiple movies pretty much shoots that down though.  I stumbled onto an interview online with Gimple after the show last night and they've apparently been planning this for a long time.  They had originally targeted the middle of last season to write him out, but then plans changed.  This whole thing, marketing Rick's last episodes, has been one big elaborate plot that's been in motion for a long time.  I'm actually amazed that they were able to keep those plans quiet until now.  Hindsight's a wonderful thing, but now you can see how heavily they've foreshadowed it for a while now.

I liked the episode.  I thought the time jump was slick even if the "Judith...Judith Grimes" was a little over the top...and needed the James Bond horn music. 

 

That was also Lauren Cohan's last episode.  I think she will be back because that show she's in on ABC looks like the usual high concept ABC mess (I see you Last Resort) that'll get a single season.

The way I heard it ......    he wants out of the TV series 

movies and TV series are not the same.

Lil Orphan Annie.   And how did she get Ricks hat to fit her?  

 Lauren Cohan's last episode this season.    She may be back in season 10 or beyond.

They spun it as him wanting out, but the truth was that they wrote him out because of the planned spinoff.  They fooled everyone and they deserve a big thumbs up for pulling that off.

I did hear them talking 

 

the theme is they “evolved”. 

 

If I were that interested I’d look into it. ?

You did hear someone talking, but the walkers haven’t evolved. It’s a story line from the comic book.

Having become pretty bored with the show, I'm somewhat encouraged by the last couple of episodes and new direction.  It really was time for Rick to go, and I'd like to see Maggie leave as well.  The movie ideas and a new story line for Rick will be interesting when that rolls around.
