And he's still only 26, even though it feels like he's been here since the Reagan administration. If his head is ok, he's a highly skilled player who should be right near his prime.

It's amazing how much the actress playing the female rebel leader looks like the one from the original movies. I couldn't tell you a thing about that character, but for whatever reason, I recognized her immediately.

I don't understand how Ennis can look like both a teenager and a 40-something at the same exact time.

Clearly the guy who runs the Philly twitter is a Walking Dead writer dropping yet another hint that it was Glenn.

I've never had a Creed in my office, or at least I hope not. None, no one who killed a guy and took his place.

Did you cut and paste that, 4mer? It's amazingly accurate.

He left her tied to a chair with dead Milton (I think that was his name) in the room. She wasn't able to free herself before he bit her.

The boss at the bank that Kim was trying to take with her to her new firm, am I just remembering him from previous episodes or did he have a Breaking Bad role?

He mentioned a specific flower, didn't he?

I'm telling you, it's gophers.

That line at the end is exactly why they wind up being polarized, they are aimed at a very specific demographic. When that's what you are, there's going to be so many more of the people who don't like or get it. If that's what you want to be, that's fine, but it will never be for everyone.

I see that the Sabres signed another ex-BU guy in Matt Lane (local kid) to a deal with Rochester. They sure have been picking up a lot of those guys in the last two years.

And it's still happening even after Lou left. Hopefully it's just a a few remnants left from his days and the product will change over the next few years.

The writer is particularly harsh with Norman. #1 golfer in the world, 2 major titles. I'd gladly be called a choker if I had that resume.

My wife picked up Trainwreck at a redbox this past weekend. My god, what an appropriate title for that movie. How on earth was that one so positively received?

In my town, the charge for the sewer is identical to the water charge. So basically they're assuming that every drop of water that comes out of your faucets goes back into the sewer. It's a total sham. Most of the year, that's fine, but in the summer when watering the lawn they make a killing. It wouldn't be billed that way if I had a separate water meter connected to the hoses, but they charge crazy permit fees to have that installed. I'm sure it doesn't compare to rates out that in CA, but man, this past summer's bills were not fun (new lot, new sod).

That was all I could think when seeing it, tire spikes... or he's got some nasty gophers in that garden where he needed the soaker.

This stuff was everywhere you looked though. I'm sure there were some who were unaware, but for those people, Negan couldn't have seemed like a threat at all a couple weeks ago. They were plowing through his people with ease. Pair that up with week's of "uh oh, big bad Negan" on talking dead clips and I wonder how confusing it had to be for those who were unaware.

Problem is, I do t think you can do a character like superman without a lot of it. Some may think that will ultimately hurt the superhero movie trend, but I don't think so. I do wish they'd go more towards the cartoon route with all of this stuff though. They can do anything they want there. DC had some really good stuff over the years and I wouldn't mind seeing more of that instead.

Lost in everything with the ending, I forgot to comment on the Morgan/Carol stuff. I've hated where this whole story has been going, but I really liked the twist there. All along I figured Morgan's view would get him and others killed. Instead, he kills the savior to save Carol. Great change there. It instantly changes my view of him. But then again, since they're so loyal to following the comics line per line, I guess none of this actually happened.

It really was the mid season finale all over again. I suppose it wasn't as awkward as that one, but it wasn't good. Ending your season with a teaser (season 2 with Muchonne showing up and the prison off on the horizon) is so much better. I don't see the whole Lucille thing catching people's interest and watching more. It only serves to irritate.

I'm right there with you. The whole thing is very awkward

So is that kind of like being a tool?

And even saying that they were careful won't stop people from dissecting the whole scene. Even the audio doesn't mean much of anything. Since they distorted that, it's like any of that sound didn't really happen at all. They can change the group reaction at will when they do decide to film the actual scene since we heard absolutely nothing. Any of those slowed down clips could be nothing more than random noises they threw in to have some fun (well that and the human brain can make you think you heard whatever you want to hear). I'd have to go back and watch it again, but I seem to remember them switching from person to person in their point of view of Negan standing in front of them, to really give a roulette feel to the whole thing. The only people you could even consider ruling out (other than worthless Aaron) would be whoever is on the left end if Negan walked from the person's left before introducing them to Lucille. I don't remember how he approached the final person. And speaking of the Tara/Heath run, I really wish we could get a map of where all of this is happening. Which way did they head off so that they avoided Survivors (if they did)? Which direction is the Hilltop? Which direction are the Saviors? And that other group? Given what happened last night, I have a hard time seeing any of these groups moving around without Negan knowing it. I seem to remember Morgan saying that Carol went off in the opposite direction from the Saviors, but then again, she did run into one of their trucks on the road. Just about the only direction where I assume none of these other groups come from is the South.

That's just the people out there in the woods at that moment though. They have to have some back protecting their home too. Either way, they've got a major numbers advantage over Alexandria.
