Those are the people who get killed off over and over on this show. That was pretty much the whole point of the episode, especially the comments from the Detroit Tigers hat guy. The moral compass of the group always dies on this show. Dale, Herschel, and now Tyreese. If the priest wasn't still so new to the group, he'd be next.

I wasn't too crazy about the episode, but that may just be because it was a long weekend. It did start to get good right at the end though. I look forward to tonight's follow up because before even seeing Tuco in the previews, I was already interested.

I'm glad he's gone. The character has outlived its usefulness and he was deadweight this entire season. It's also fitting that it wound up being a teenage walker that got him. A crappy death for a crappy character. I'm not entirely sure who else is deadweight at this point, but that person better watch out. They've been trimming the fat this entire season with Bob, Beth, and Tyreese. I'd say Tara next, but people seem to like the eye candy. And the British voice on the radio, that was Andrew Lincoln (Rick), wasn't it?

Trust every test known to man. Analytics, standings, the eyeball test... they all point to the same exact answer.

When I'm at a movie, I always refer to the ridiculously oversized drinks as either diabetes in a cup or cancer in a cup.

Have they given a time frame for when all of this is happening? Hopefully it's enough time so that there are plenty of struggles before he becomes Saul Goodman.

It does feel somewhat similar to Frasier. You've got a supporting character who wasn't there when the show started but became a big part of it. He's coming from a completely different background so it could potentially go a completely different way than the original series. The prequel setup is the big trap though. They're handcuffed a bit on where they can take him. I'll gladly admit though that this is just me blindly searching for reason to feel pumped for this show.

I hope it delivers. I can't remember ever having a show that I have so much hope for, but at the same time, worry about it flopping. There's no middle ground here, this show is either going to boom or bust.

Did you check in Nigeria?

Watch how few 2015 1st round draft picks get traded at the deadline this year. That'll show you just how much McDavid means. Bubble teams will hold on to that 2% chance of landing him instead of making that last second push.

Goonies reunion. Make it happen! edit: Chloe as Sloth?

This sounds like a story written solely for the purpose of getting people to click on it.

There has been so little advertisement going into this half season. I like it because it leaves me with absolutely no clue where this show is going. All I know is that with this and Better Call Saul, sunday is going to be a great night.

That and the fact that they won a combined 10 games over those two years.

I assumed I was reading the writings of a Nigerian prince.

I have one or two of the 20 ounce bottles of Coke Zero or Diet Dr. Pepper each week day and I keep telling myself I'm going to break that habit. I drink a ton of water during my work day and it really would just be a matter of filling up my water bottle one more time instead of hitting that vending machine. Either that or I start considering coffee if I want some caffeine. I've never been crazy for hot drinks or else I would have done that a while ago.

It's kind of sad to say, but I think this team is capable of running the table. Obviously it won't happen, but this thing could go on for a while.

This thing is a two horse race. Look at this Sabres team. They're not closing a 9 point gap on anyone. I guess I'd still slightly consider Arizona, but if they get to 10 points ahead of it, I'll throw in the towel for them.

The comping of items and the larger tip are directly tied together though. Would you still be tipping like that if you were in some random place for the first time and didn't get that treatment?

I figured the story was going to go a different route. When I figure out the tip, I pretty much ignore the change. So if 20% comes out to $5.35, I just give the $5 (cheap I suppose, but just call me lazy). With the automatic 20% button, they're now going to get that extra 35 cents. It might not seem like much at first, but it'll add up over time.

Does anyone actually know what each of the symbols on the number row are without looking? I can get most of them, but if I ever need to use a $ or %, I need to look down to see where they are.

I wasn't even aware that Eastwood was the director until I read this thread. I guess that says something about how they're choosing to market this one. Then again, if Cooper is as good as they say he is (still need to go see this movie), they're marketing it exactly as they should.

When I saw the first number, the first thought that crossed my mind was "that's what, since December?". 11 powerplay goals and we're past the halfway point of the season. That's incredibly bad. Looking at the stats, all but two other teams have at least 11 powerplay goals at home. They're clicking at an 8.8% powerplay efficiency on the season. Truly incredible.

I love the quote I heard the other day where people have started to leave the Sabres off of their figures because they completely ruin the scale.

My father-in-law worked for the highway department in NH and when my wife moved to Boston he told her that the breakdown lane is the worst possible place to go if your car breaks down. That says it all right there. The damn thing is called the break down lane, but if you actually break down, you don't want to be anywhere near it. I can't imagine anything that will spook out of state drivers more than the first time they encounter someone flying down that lane. I was lucky that I never had to use that road to get to work, but I don't even want to think about how much of a nightmare it is to exit or merge.
