The Walking Dead 8.6 "The King, The Widow and Rick" (spoiler alert)

[NewJeffCT]

I was out of town last week, so could not get a thread started last Sunday -sorry about that.

With things looking up for Rick's group, an argument breaks out at the Hilltop. The consequences of the decision are life versus death

3. 30 minutes to go

season 8 has been going pretty well so far - like it more than 6 or 7 so far. Of course, Season 7 part 2 was going great until the last 2 episodes.

[NewJeffCT]

4. Rick voiceover to start

over sad scenes of The Kingdom and Hilltop

[NewJeffCT]

5. Rick voiceover saying they're winning

and he's going by himself to visit the Junkyard. Does that seem like a smart move?

[DashOneBravo]

6. This will be interesting

[NewJeffCT]

7. all by himself?

and, they have nudists in a junkyard?

looks like Carl will be back this week, judging by the "Previously On" segment

[NewJeffCT]

8. Carol tries to see Ezekiel

but, he doesn't want to come out

[DashOneBravo]

9. I saw the naked lady

We will find out soon enough.

I can't belive Jesus is giving away the food

[NewJeffCT]

10. Interesting

now we know why Rick was taking the polaroids - evidence for the Junkyard Dogs. Still, they didn't take Rick's deal

[NewJeffCT]

11. hmmm

Rick gets locked up by Jadis and the Junkyarders, but he seems rather confident of his situation,

Tara and Daryl seem ready to team up to do something.

Michonne and Rosita are ready to move out together as well

12. Anyone know how many episodes left? n/t

[NewJeffCT]

13. tonight is episode 6

of 8 in the first half of the season. Season 8, part 2 will start some time after the Super Bowl.

[Iris]

16. Thanks. I thought we were getting close to the end of this half. n/t

14. 10 or 11 year old boy

trying to join up with Carol to get revenge for his brother

[NewJeffCT]

15. Carl seems to make up for his dad

with Siddiq - gives him food and water, finds out Siddiq has killed 237 walkers

17. "Baby girl I don't think you are going to use that thing"

[Iris]

18. That was epic!

[NewJeffCT]

19. good moment

glad we got some Michonne, Rosita and Carl last night. The show has been doing better with having each episode have more than just one location this season, but they still have had major players like Carl and Michonne gone for several episodes. That's why TWD doesn't rise to the level of Game of Thrones - almost all the time, Game of Thrones will give you a little bit from each location, and maybe one location is dropped each episode and just for that one episode. TWD has characters/locations drop out of site for weeks on end still.
