So was the mid-season cliffhager whether or not they finally got a pasta maker?

They have lots of unlikable characters now:

BORDERLINE
Coral - not sure what to do with him.
Rick - one bad plan after another but he is the leader of the Ricktocracy
Tara

I really wanted Darryl to floor it in that truck and try and take those guys out, but I guess they had too much ammo.

Step 1) Fire Abraham's RPG at center of Motorcycle Gang
Step 2) Duck below dash while flooring gas pedal
Step 3) Mow down gang
Step 4) Once past gang, stop, exit vehicle, and using truck as shield, clean up any survivors with Sasha's scoped AR and any remaining RPG rounds.

carl's "no offense but your dad was an ******* line" made me laugh at the horribleness of the writing.

I wanted him to say porchd*ck.

Does anyone else hope that Sam is the next one to get bit? He annoys the hell out of me.

Does anyone else include everyone on this thread?

Because, ya.

Anyone else worried they are pronouncing it knee-gan? I always pronounced to nay-gan. And I think with all the terrible accents and crummy dialog it's gonna come off like sci-UHN-tist.

No, because this is the spoiler free thread and/or most of us discussing the show on this thread have never read the comics and therefore Negan (knee-gun) is all we've ever known.

There was a lot of talk on this thread leading up to this episode that Rosita was due to be walker bait.

Maggie is on a shaky homebuilt scaffold over a walker pit.

Jesse is walking in the horde and her possessed kid is trying to get them all killed.

In an instant the hottest chicks on the show could be Carol, the fat chick from the pantry, Tara and her sweetie doctor friend, Sasha & Michonne.

Not sure I'll be able to continue with the show if they kill off Maggie, Rosita, and Jesse

Yep another "spoiler not spoiler". And they always seem to be from the same group...

I don't see how this is a spoiler ... he revealed nothing about the comics at all ... maybe he "always pronounced it nay-gan" after seeing the casting announcement?

Here's what's wrong with comments like the one above.

TV viewers who've never read the comics are completely clueless about settings, plot lines, characters, and scenarios when they are introduced. We don't know if these settings, plot lines, characters, & scenarios are going to be major events or minor events. Many times, the writers introduce us to these things as cliffhangers designed to pique our interest and even confuse us, and the are typically presented in a vague way so that we don't know what was meant by the final scene.

For instance, all we viewers know about the Neegan group is that there are 5 or so guys on motorcycles with a leader who's a total a-hole. He said the truck & everything in it now belongs to Neagan. To a viewer, that means practically nothing. In fact, it creates a ton of questions with no answers at the moment:
* What is Neegan?
* Maybe Neegan is an individual person?
* Is Neegan that a-hole talking? After all, he seems like the kind of a-hole who might speak in the 3rd person.
* If Neegan is that guy, perhaps he only has that gang of 5 guys to back him up. We've seen that several times before on this show (The "claim it" group that Darryl fell into; the crazy chick Rick found in the woods; etc).
* If Neegan is just those 5 guys, they'll be dispatched very quickly and this won't be that big of a deal.
* Or maybe Neegan is a community like Alexandria, Woodbury, or Terminus.
* Maybe these guys live in Neegan and the community has claimed this territory as Neegan territory.
* If that's the case, perhaps Neegan's method of operation is to confiscate everything that passes through its geographical limits.
* If this is the case, Neegan has a community leader like the Governor or Deeana. He's probably a bad guy...but not necessarily. Maybe Neegan just really likes protecting Neegan turf.
* Maybe Neegan isn't a physical community as much as it's a faction of people...similar to what The Wolves appear to be.
* These guys may be all there is to the Neegan gang, but Neegan could also be a gang of 1000 people.
* Maybe Neegan is an individual guy, but is a dictator in control of hundreds of people.
* If so, these 5 guys and this Neegan fellow will cause a lot more issues than just a small group of 5 d-bags.
* Maybe that group of 2 girls & that guy who stole Darryl's stuff were escaping Neegan?
* Maybe the PATTY truck belongs to Neegan (whoever or whatever that is) and that's the only reason they're taking the truck. It's not about robbing everyone who passes through there, it's about recouping their property.
* Maybe The Wolves are smaller faction of the Neegan gang?
* Maybe The Wolves are at war with the Neegan gang?
* Maybe neither group has ever heard of the other.

A message board filled with people who've only watched a TV show with no knowledge of the source material would discuss all these questions. I would argue that discussing things we don't know the answer to is the funnest part of this show and most other TV dramas like this.

However, we all now know the answer to almost all of these questions ("Neagan" is an individual guy who's a very major character...most likely bad...and that dude talking is not him) because our fellow TexAggers have posted so many things that "reveal nothing"...except the answer to nearly everything above. Someone posted about who was cast as him before he was introduced, which means we know what he looks like and that he's significant enough of a character for this person to care. We even know how to spell his name, which again means he's significant enough for anyone to care. Since "Deanna" has been spelled different ways on this thread and most of us don't even remember the name of the Terminus leader, it's safe to assume he's more significant than either of those two leaders. There have been hints as to whether he is evil or good as well by the tone of the posts.

In other words, those posts that "reveal nothing" have stolen countless discussion topics from this thread.

The "spoiler not spoiler" is a favorite troll of several folks on here.

It's not a spoiler when it's mentioned in a commercial and later during the talking dead. Move on.
