Anything else is just annoying.

emo kids dig getting emo blow jobs

The biggest problem with this show is how the jump around and have the featured episodes on one area where we forget about others. I'm assuming this is all happening simultaneously but instead of jumping from group to group in one episode for continuity we are expected to remember 3 weeks from now what happened the last time we saw such and such. It had been 9 episodes since we last saw Tara. Understandably I was confused when I saw her lying on the beach. Hell I didn't even remember if she was alive or not to begin with. 9 episodes. But yet now she's supposed to keep my attention for an entire episode plus an additional 10 minutes.

While Tara was passed out on the beach, did anyone else expect to see a Greenpeace ship off the coast trying to determine why she beached her fat azz?

Yeah, without "previous scenes", I would have been completely lost. There's a difference between a few reminder nuggets might help set up the viewer vs. needing to remind you where one character that you haven't seen for a season is + even scenes aren't enough for you to remember the other guy's story, including his friggin name.

QFT.
This show is in a death spiral right now.

Anyone else find it annoying how Tara went from lying about her origins to telling WAY too much? Seriously...STFU. I knew when she started going on proudly about how they had taken out an outpost that it was going to get her on their bad side again.

Not only is it stupid, it's not believable to me. Nobody in their right mind would do that. Just say you're from a peace-loving community just trying to stay alive.

And then the stupid "you sure a larder's not a boat?" thing was so forced and cheesy. Ughhhhh

Yeah, that was incredibly bad. WTF did she pull a fishing story out of her ass? Even if you don't want to tell them about your community, it's as simple as "A friend and I have been scavenging and finding ways to survive (there were more of us, but they're dead), we ran into a pack of walkers at a bridge, and I ended up in the river and eventually on the beach." Simple as that. Hello, idiot. They are shooting strangers on sight, and now you've just explained how dangerous your group is in vivid detail.

Just really bad and unbelievable writing.

I had assumed Heath left the show and they just weren't going to mention him again

Well that was a waste of time. No idea if Heath is even alive.

He's alive. They don't hide deaths from us.

Her story didn't bother me. Yes, it was dumb to tell them about Alexandria, but Tara is dumb, so what did you expect? There are lots of dumb people n the world, and lots of dumb characters in the show. Makes sense to me.

I'm more inclined to think that the character is just dumb and naive versus the writers being that dumb. Tara has never been a character that really survives well on her own. If Carol was making those types of mistakes on the other hand I would blame it on the writers because she is supposed to be way smarter than that.

My complaint will be is, will Tara's episode matter at all in the end? Are all of these locations going to team up to take out the saviors or was it yet another pointless episode with characters we will never see again.

The only way I see to take out neegan is through a coordinated resistance of all the places he has under his thumb. So far there is Alexandria (people but no resources), Hill top (which basically has no people or resources except food), Ezekial's kingdom (people but maybe limited guns and limited trained personnel), and the ocean village which has members the most reluctant to fight but somehow has a large gun stockpile.

I think the only reason I keep watching this show is because I've invested so much time in it already. It's becoming pretty ****ty and frustrating.

As annoying as the side story thing is, I imagine they'll end up being an extremely vital part in taking down Negan and the Saviors.

Yep. The Kingdom will bring the people, Lesbo Island will bring the weapons, and the Hilltop will bring the booze and weed.

I'm noticing online there are a lot of diehard fans getting upset that people are criticizing the show. I saw one story that this was the 2nd lowest rated show of the series. And of course all the comments are questioning the intelligence of anyone that dares say anything bad about the show. They act like any criticism is unfair and claim people are simple minded if they don't like an episode. Meanwhile their simple minds can't grasp the fact that we're not complaining because the episode didn't have Rick or Daryl in it (I'm tired of those characters anyway) but rather it's just bad writing and bad acting around a character that has never been interesting.

I understand character and plot development. I know what they are trying to do with all of these different communities. That doesn't mean they're doing a good job of telling the story and keeping it interesting. And it doesn't mean I can't be a fan if I don't just sit there and lap up every drop of piss they sling my way. Well actually I'm probably not really a fan at this point. As was said above I'm kind of just here now because I had already invested all this time in it and want to see it through. I made that same mistake with Lost.

And Coral will bring the lulz with his one-eyed tough guy stare.


Last night was f'ing brutal. This is the equivalent of spending an episode during the height of the Sopranos - Johnny Sac war to update us on Meadow's friend from high school choir.

Tara was about the least consequential and memorable member of the crew and she gets an extended episode? I get it that they needed to show that there was another group out there with guns. Do that in 10-15 minute scene and move on to something that the audience cares about.

Also, don't write a starving character who has lived on nothing but soy sauce packets that is 50 pounds overweight. Just skip it.

God, that episode was torture to watch.

I think that the one-on-one conversations between Tara and anyone else in this episode (whether it was Heath, or Spear Chick, or Rosita) annoyed me more than anything, because they all fell into the same weird-ass back-and-forth routine that almost every conversation on this show is starting to have.

They all seem to go like this, and for the life of me I can never understand what the F they're even talking about.

Person A: "It's not about this day...it's about CHANGING".
Person B: "But see? That's the thing....it doesn't even matter if someone doesn't understand.....because I think YOU belong".
Person A: "You're wrong. I've been there....I've seen what it takes......and someone CAN'T go back. Unless there's a key. And I am starting to think that there never WAS a key...".
Person B: "Yeah....I get it....I get YOU.....Don't you see that??"
Person A: "THAT'S BULLSHYTE!!! AND YOU KNOW IT!!!! It's ALL bullshyte!!!".
Person B: "Is it? Because you said something to me one time.....about meaning something....I mean, REALLY having to own it.....And as much as I hate to admit it - with every bone in my body, you were RIGHT".
Person A: "I was doing what I had to do to survive! Like we ALL do! Like YOU'RE doing right now!!. Like Judith is DOING!!!".
Person B: "Am I? Because I thought that I was dying....".

And on and on they go. I can never follow what the hell they're talking about.

This episode was extremely bleh for me. The previous few (after the bludgeoning) makes sense to me even if some were slow. I'm ok with slow. I'm not okay with characters no one cares about and to have an entire episode following that girl and about the village was pretty craptacular viewing.

As mentioned above, this episode was basically revealing the stash of weapons. It better be anyway because no one cares about Tara or the village women.

When they opened the trailer, and you could see racks of ARs inside, I had a big question mark over my head. Where'd those come from? And later we hear that the Saviors killed every man and boy over 10....but left them with all the rifles? Or did they stumble across a miraculously-untouched Cabela's while wandering through the woods? That said, I didn't hate the episode like most on here seem to have.

Question: when they took Tara out of the village, I assumed it was to get her a little ways away and then kill her - not to actually take her back to Alexandria. But then why did the two guards let her go to take care of the walker?

They didn't let her go.... she bailed by offering to go first. First mover advantage.

Right, but when she says "I've got it", why doesn't one of them say "No, stay here. We'll take care of it." Not a huge deal, but I was wondering if it meant I was misreading the scene - that maybe they did plan on following her back to Alexandria?

She said "I got it" and jetted before anyone could say anything.

If y'all have never seen these, they are usually pretty good. I think he could've expanded it this week.

The 13 Most Ridiculous Things from Last Night's The Walking Dead

Damn, Tara. Did you REALLY just mistake that black zombie with dreads for Heath? Just because the zombie was the only one on the bridge not covered in sand and also looked a lot like Heath from the back? NOT COOL. I read some pretty compelling fan theories last night suggesting Heath put on a dress in his final moments. He couldn't hide who he was any longer! It's also worth noting that Fear The Walking Dead did a similar thing with a zombie lookalike fakeout and it's corny and lame and please stop doing this crap on these shows.

Not sure this applies anymore. Might want to change to "Welcome To Alexandria: We got no guns. We got no food. Our Glenns' heads are falling off." JOIN US NEXT WEEK! Will we find out what PPP stands for? Lot of fans think it means Please Pkill PCarl. What ever happened to Heath? He drove that RV with his eyes closed straight into a better TV show and away from signing head shots at Comic-Con for the rest of his career. Will all those ladies with guns prove to play a pivotal role in taking Negan down? There are only two episodes left in this half season and not a whole lot has happened, so it's safe to say yes but also safe to say it literally won't go down for another calendar year. NONE OF THIS AND MORE on S07E07 of The Walking Dead!

The only way to watch this show is to DVR a season at a time and watch it in a few days. They're just wasting episodes now until they kick Savior's ass in the end of the season. That's it for this season... we see who got their skull bashed in from last season, then a bunch of easy-to-churn-out episodes that mean nothing and then the ass-kicking episode. It's amazing these people get paid to do this.

FINALLY! An episode with people (Lesbo Island) who have some tactical sense!

1. Camouflage netting around buildings.
2. Camouflage netting above common areas.
3. LP/OPs (listening post / observation post) out beyond the first line of defense.
4. Early warning system that alerts your people and not the intruders.
5. Clothing that blends in with surroundings (you are, after all, trying to hide from people, not zombies).
6. A compound away from high speed avenues of approach.
7. All members seemed to be trained to fight (no strap hangers).
