. But of course, maybe Dwight is biding his time for revenge.

It feels that way for sure.

Negan's empire does feel like a tinder box, that's for sure.

As an aside, does any one see any similarities between the attempted breaking of Daryl with another TV miniseries from the 1970's?

There was another show where a main character was captured, transported, humiliated, beaten, etc. until he finally adopted a new name and got on board and cooperated with an evil system. He did try to escape though, and on one occasion got part of his foot chopped off.

Spoiler

Although there are a lot of differences, the same scenario plays out with Kunta Kinte in Roots, the mini-series that aired on ABC in 1977. I remember being riveted to this show as a 6th grader

Dull, dull, dull.

Negan is the worst of villains--no redeeming qualities whatsoever except the writers like writing him, otherwise we wouldn't have gotten an extended episode that was essentially an exercise is seeing how bad he is. We get it, let's move on.

Problem is, with so many seperate locations and characters, I'm thinking not much is going to happen during this season. The next episode is at Hilltop, yet ANOTHER place with some of our characters.

I'm REALLY not enjoying this season so far.

Agreed! Negan is a perpetual and tiresome monologue personified. He is a cartoon of a character and is making it really hard to suspend disbelief; even in a zombie show. Why would anyone follow this guy? I am waiting for some backstory about how he rose to power and built a following, but I am not confident that will happen. Also, what benefit is it to him to leave Rick's people vulnerable and with minimal resources to produce more sacrifices? I get the idea of limiting their firepower, but taking it all seems short sighted. Mostly though, I am not sure if the show has anything to offer if they intend to drag abuse and torture out indefinitely. There has to be some light or some showing of human perseverance to make it worth anyone's while. But... that's just like, an opinion, man.

I love it so far. Negan might just be the biggest d#$% I have seen on TV in a very long time. I just want to punch him then I remember it's JDM. That says much for me.

I fell asleep in 2 of the 3 episodes this season.

If this is what Season 7 has to offer, I am wondering if there will even be a Season 8.

...quit giving the guns away Rick! Its ok to hide a few, you could even alter the "inventory" to cover it!

They came a week early or he probably would have. By the way anybody see this? I think it might be legit.

It appears Daryl wasn't just having mini-post traumatic twitches. During that scene when he would not speak, he was blinking Morse code. It spelled "I, East". That makes sense because I thought Rick's stare was a bit odd at the time.

Serious? Did I miss something? When did these guys adopt that communication mode. I am not buyin it.

I don't think a whole episode would go to the hilltop, there is too minimum there. As far as losing all of the guns, remember how the hilltop had no weapons? Doesn't seem so strange anymore. Why didn't they tell Rick that information prior to sending him after negan?

Negan will die and hopefully die a dark miserable death. Rick is defeated but the fire is in him. Once there is a real opportunity, it's going to happen.

I'm a bit confused on timelines and disappointed we didn't see the somber trek to the hilltop for Maggie to see the doctor. Also, since negan has been told Maggie is dead... I'm not sure how she is kept hidden and not forced back to his compound.

Although having Maggie and Daryl both there could go very wrong for him.

I was hoping for now negan backstory but now I find myself wondering, when does Rick being up that Morgan is still gone? Or Morgan say I have to go see Rick? Somehow this group, the hilltop and the kingdom have to all come together and make something happen.

I'm enjoying the season. It is miserable right now but it is supposed to be. Negan outdid himself this week. Dude is a friggin psychopath through and through.

You have some serious eyes to have caught something like that

Rick is probably trained in it and there was Morse code chart depicted earlier in the house in Alexandria that would seem to indicate they were practicing it.

I saw the chart too, didnt think anything of it until I read your post. For the most part all I see is daryls hair and his black eye, cant even tell that he is blinking

You may be right, but it seems like a stretch.

It just seems like some of the fans that come up with these theories are more into the show than the writers.

Thought you were referring to The Prisoner w/Patrick McGoohan

That is all the chatter on the W D discussion boards. I looked it up on the internets

Oddly enough, I never saw that Morse code chart until last night so I think the writers were foreshadowing it as well.

Similar to the hilltop not having weapons. or the hilltop leader being weak and unwilling to do anything and the frustration we all had with it because we did not understand why. Bodies with missing heads that you had no idea why in season 6 and etc.

That one, I must have missed, never heard of it. Was that a TV show, movie or what?

TV show that occasionally reruns on the BBC stations. Real weird and awesome old TV show.

It was way ahead of its time. It was #2 in a character series. First one was Danger Man. The Prisoner was about;

The title character of The Prisoner (the otherwise-unnamed "Number Six") spends the entire series trying to escape from a luxury island prison community called "The Village", and to learn the identity of his nemesis, Number One. The Village's administrators try just as hard to force or trick him into revealing why he resigned from his previous job as a spy, which he refuses to divulge. The location used was the Italianate village of Portmeirion in North Wales....

By the way there was an American remake but it wasn't all that great. Didn't capture the feeling of the original.
