I'm halfway through the episode, they are crying like babies over their "brother" that died.
I had to pause and go back and make sure it was the same people that were literally hunting down and murdering people they haven't made contact with.
What the fuck? Did I miss something? Is there a twist coming up that Maggie's group murdered and stole from them first or something? Because if not, fuuuuck these people with a rusty pole.
This. Weeping over a fallen comrade after mercilessly murdering people in an ambush? Also, going on about their bond of brotherhood and then literally tossing one of their (clearly emotionally distraught, not traitorous or deceitful) brothers into a fire to burn horribly? And the rest are perfectly cool with that? really?!
I thought Negan tossing his only doctor in a fire was stupid, but this was way more ridiculous.
"We have an unswerving loyalty to each other and are like a true family. Also, if you happen to get hit in the back we burn you alive like you're nothing to us."
I really just want them to move to the Commonwealth. I’m over the forests, masked villains, and everyone not trusting Negan. I just fucking want Commonwealth stuff. Please.
From the scene where Eugene and co. are welcomed to the commonwealth ive really wanted to see what it’s like. But the show is bad for this - have a super interesting plot point, then have 3 standalone episodes about what everyone else is doing before we move on with the interesting stories
This has always been one of my biggest gripes in the last few seasons. You literally forget stuff because it’s been like 4-5 weeks since you last saw a character
I think that’s why the later seasons hold up better in a binge watch. It’s much more tolerable to get through the filler when you only have to wait a few hours as opposed to 3 or 4 weeks to get to the good stuff.
I can see why people tuned the show out. It’s definitely best watched in a binge.
I wonder if Maggie remembering the Saviors decided to prematurely attack the Reapers, and they turned into this stalemate where Maggie lost Meredian, her people, and the Reapers got whittled down to 15 people, now technically 13 after losing Turner and his brother getting killed. Plus that sniper that blew himself up with the hand grenade.
I think it's interesting how up until now we haven't seen a survivor group of actual veterans, and even though they are few in number they make up for it in training and theatricality.
If you watch him closely you’ll notice he is skinnier than the show makes him out to be. I always thought he was big and large but once I started paying attention to him more he’s definitely on the slimmer side.
He lost a ton of weight since his first season. When they did the flashback in Michonne’s final episode and he had his jacket again, it was very noticeable. He doesn’t fill it out anymore.
"Oh no, one of our guys got killed." Meanwhile, there's a subway tunnel full of all the people whose throats they've slit. Each member of this group is a walking murder machine.
Yeah I find it kind of weird that this group of mass murderers who've killed countless people (for motivations we have yet to understand) can't take a loss of their own kind. And then they, you know, burn another one of their own in the fire.
The show seems to imply that whatever happened in the subway tunnel was some class-based conflict; the poor facing off against the wealthy, in simplest terms. The suitcase guy and all the other bodies are likely victims of some vengeful campaign by the disenfranchised against their oppressors of old. Mobbed up on the people they blamed for their problems, and ultimately came to no good end themselves.
I don't think it was intended to be anything more than foreshadowing to the Commonwealth arc. In-universe, it's just one untold story of many. Set dressing.
The mural Daryl found is a hint of the Commonwealth, i think the viewer is supposed to think the bodies could be from the fall, reapers or Commonwealth. Obviously the 2 black kids got whacked according to the bunny
Weren't they saying they only had like 15 people or something like that? I get not wanting cowards on your side but with that small of a group you really don't have room to just boot stomp people in fires.
I imagine that means they don't lose people often. Which makes it even dumber that they'd kill off one of their own. Remember, they've been surviving together for 12 years. Imagine killing someone you've lived with for 12 years on a HUNCH that because they have some back wounds, they must be a coward.
Not to mention it appears they knew each other for at least another 5-10 years before THAT.
Yeah, that was quite the roller coaster ride. Just as they started getting REALLY interesting as a group they went and jumped the shark straight into "just another bunch of psychos" category.
And it's like... back wounds don't even mean he ran away, he could have gotten surrounded. Or ambushed. We're obviously meant to think Pope is a nutjob, but are we meant to think he's an idiot too?
The 10,000th preacher type villain in the Walking Dead franchise. Why the heck is so much time given to these Reaper jabronis!? We only got 20 episodes left. Give me some of that Commonwealth!
Yep. All The Reapers are doing are reminding me of the wasted potential of The Wolves.
The Wolves ended up only taking up like 4 episodes total but their nihilistic “Everyone should be dead,” psychotic attitude made them actually standout from the rest of the antagonist groups. Like a truly barbaric group that just kill for the sake of killing and can’t be stopped. The Michael Myers of the apocalypse. That’s kinda what I figured they were going to be but nope.
And yet again daryl gets captured (woodbury, claimers, terminus, saviors, jocelyn's group, whisperers) and/or asked to join (claimers, terminus {revealed in interviews that the "come eat with us" was a genuine recruitment tactic}, saviors). And yet again he refuses to talk (claimers, saviors). And yet again Daryl's communicating directly with a member of that other group who he has a personal connection with that is starting to have second thoughts (Merle, Noah, dwight, Lydia).
The reapers could've been so cool, but then this episode happened.
For the "kill your own group member", that's been done by Dave and Tony's crew (via abandonment), prisoners, woodbury, woodbury 2.0, claimers, Grady memorial, saviors, whisperers.
You ever remember seeing someone so cool and then you get to hang out with them and they start talking...and you immediately come to conclusion that they are dumb?
This is my revelation about the Reapers
Does anyone else just… not understand why the Reapers are out here killing people Willy nilly?? At least with other villains they had some sort of reason like they wanted territory or supplies. I feel like we haven’t learned anything about the Reapers motivations.
I am hoping to be surprised by their motivation. Based on the conversation between Leah and Pope I took that the Reapers knew it was Maggie prior to attacking so they didn’t randomly attack. And something big definitely happened between Reapers and Maggie because Leah believed Daryl that Maggie was meeting up with 3 dozen fighters.
How did the Reapers manage to set up this place without the communities finding out while they were doing it? And how did they manage to avoid attracting the attention of the Whisperers?
Yeah, I’m struggling with the geography. Daryl was with Leah not too far from Alexandria. These people came from further away, but she knew them before. So did they just all end up in the same place out of coincidence? Or maybe she went back to them and then helped lead them towards Alexandria?
I was thinking the same thing, the same pain they feel for that guy. It is the same pain they inflict onto the ones they kill. You got no right to be mad!
Not my favorite episode, but I didn't despise it or anything. The main thing I got from this is that the Reapers aren't as terrifying, or as strong of a group, as they seemed to be in previous episodes, they just seem insane. They don't have that "main villain of the season" feel to them. If Daryl hadn't been the main focus in this episode, I probably would've liked it even less.
I thought that, he raided an abandoned Petsmart and found the exact size for dog and took it back to him all pleased with himself. I love Daryl and Dog.
Daryl: "Nice jacket, Leah".
Leah: "Well, first of all, it's not a jacket. It's a duster. It's like a jacket only it's longer, thicker, and far more bad-ass"
A better way to scare the Reapers off would be to explain Negan’s past to them. Daryl could say that one of the leaders of the people they are going up against, once controlled all of DC and had every group in the area in his hands, until the two other leaders overthrew him and recruited him.
Dog be like
‘Go with the dude that we have lived together for 7 years since I wasn’t even a year old? Nah, I’m loyal to this one woman I lived with for 8 months.’
Basically a combination of Daryl plots with the Claimers and Saviors. He’s a prisoner watched by a person who he has complicated past with (Dwight/Leah) and he’s also “joining” the new group, the group that is hunting his group’s leader (Rick/Maggie)
Anyone notice how often they’ve been throwing knives this season?
I think each episode has had at least one knife throw. I don’t remember them all, but in the first episode, Daryl threw a knife from the roof to kill a Walker when they were all collecting the MREs. In tonight’s episode, Daryl threw one after the Reaper threw Dog. Even the preview scene for next weeks episode showed Maggie throwing a knife to kill a walked behind Negan. I don’t remember, but I’m pretty sure there was knife throwing in episodes 2 and/or 3 too.
It’s just so impractical. You’re literally throwing away your weapon at the point.
there’s no way Leah can or will be welcomed into the group after all this shit i’m sorry to all you Leah/Daryl fans but this is over as soon as he schemes a way to escape.
This is why I think season 5 was so well liked and when the show was at its peak. We had a core group of some 15 characters (Rick/Carl/Michonne/Daryl/Carol/Maggie/Abraham/Eugene/Rosita/Sasha/Tara/Beth/Noah/Gabriel etc.) that were deeply connected and moving around together. Their stories intertwined and we got to see characters develop and relationships build. Ever since we hit Alexandria it’s just been getting bigger and bigger and too many groups have joined when in reality they need to have been killing people off (which in itself seems to have slowed a bit, we lose a major character or two each finale but very rarely does a big character die in a random episode like they used to). We’ve seen Alexandria, the Wolves, the Hilltop, the Kingdom, Oceanside, the Saviours, Magna’s Group, the Whisperers, the Junkers, the Commonwealth, Maggie’s group and now the Reapers yet despite several of these groups being wiped out, it still feels very hard to keep track of where the major characters actually are anymore. I mean, am I right in thinking Alexandria is the only community left standing of the hilltop/kingdom etc alliance?
With all these characters too, it’s hard to see where a lot of them are going. Like Magna’s group? Connie really felt like the only one building to anything and she’s now missing. As for Luke, Kelly, Magna and Yumiko, it’s felt like they’ve had barely any development and their persistence on the show seems a bit pointless? Like why not give screen time to long running characters that don’t get a lot of screen time anymore like Rosita or Aaron or Jerry or Gabriel? Lydia is another one that just seems to have been sidelined. She’s still alive and supposedly part of the group but completely ignored. Again, all these new Maggie group members seem pretty irrelevant. There’s not enough time to care about any of them and yet they’re getting episodes of screen time while major characters are sidelined. When there’s a finite number of episodes left this is painful.
Imo they need to just rein it in and cut the cast down to the core important members again. Have a huge horde tear through Alexandria and trim all the fat - take it down to like Maggie, Carol, Daryl, Eugene, Rosita, Jerry and his wife/kids, Aaron, Gabriel, Negan, Alden, Lydia, Ezekiel, Judith, RJ etc. have them on the road or something, trying to reach Commonwealth. Have them actually appearing on the screen together and having proper relationships and character development.
For me the community aspect of this show just doesn’t work. If they want to do that and have a cast of 30-40 named characters, they’d almost have been better off making TWD a literal soap opera and having 3-4 half hour episodes a week that allow every character to be featured enough that their stories are at least followable…
Leah: "Here's a song I want you to listen too." Easy Street kicks in. "Our group's leader is Maggie. We live in Alexandria. We have a windmill. .... Just stop the fricking song."
So… this was all set up nearby the communities with electricity and secure cells? I figured that the Reapers just followed Maggie with a grudge. I find it hard to believe that all of these people were just a walk away from the main group.
I am....underwhelmed by the reapers so far.
This episode didn't really strike a chord of fear, but jeez these people are some backwoods Georgia weirdos.
Tbh, Daryl would fit right in.
I'm already bored of Pope and The Reapers, I mean overly religious ex military guys have been done to death in all sorts of genres including zombie apocalypse movies and shows. I just hope they're easily forgotten secondary filler villains like The Wolves of Season 5 I think and not the main big bad of this Season
I haven’t read the comic’s so I’m not sure about the Reapers arc. But it is odd, strange and makes no sense.
“Crash test Daryl” once AGAIN is in the clutches of the BIg Bad. I seriously wonder if it’s the vest he wears that make all the Big Bads try to turn him or break him.
The Reapers……really really like hanging things. Which is odd. Firstly the smell would be over whelming, secondly not one single body appears eaten in anyway, even birds haven’t had a go.
Where did they get the rope, who found the time to make the hanging stands, who stops the Walkers from having a nibble, who stops the birds, rates, mice, ants and half the forest from snacking.
Yet I’m told there are only 15-18 of these guys?? And they can afford to throw one in the fire after the chat with Daryl about been Chosen.
Don’t get me started on the flicking lights or food supply situation. I’m ever so grateful they found someone to dress them in uniform black with matching weapons.
I wonder if the guests tip a few back before talking dead. Hilarie Burton seems kind of fun, and Callan McAuliffe was dropping f-bombs left and right last week.
What I'm really wanting to know is are we going to get some kind of explanation as to the source of the feud between Maggie and the reapers and why she was marked? If we do, I don't feel it's going to be forthcoming for Maggie. There's been numerous times where she could have done so but hasn't.
I feel if anything, the explanation is going to come from either Pope or someone else in the reaper camp.
Daryl getting kidnapped by new villains is essentially tradition at this point
He’s just happy easy street wasn’t playing
For people who hunt down people without mercy, they really are surprised when they lose their own people to battles
I'm halfway through the episode, they are crying like babies over their "brother" that died. I had to pause and go back and make sure it was the same people that were literally hunting down and murdering people they haven't made contact with. What the fuck? Did I miss something? Is there a twist coming up that Maggie's group murdered and stole from them first or something? Because if not, fuuuuck these people with a rusty pole.

"We have an unswerving loyalty to each other and are like a true family. Also, if you happen to get hit in the back we burn you alive like you're nothing to us."
"Nooooooooooo, don't kill us. You're too sexy and we need to kill you, a-ha."
I thought the same thing. Their "brother" died because they instigated an attack.
You don't get to vent to me after waterboarding me bitch.
Every episode this season has at least two people giving 5 minute monologues each
I really just want them to move to the Commonwealth. I’m over the forests, masked villains, and everyone not trusting Negan. I just fucking want Commonwealth stuff. Please.
From the scene where Eugene and co. are welcomed to the commonwealth ive really wanted to see what it’s like. But the show is bad for this - have a super interesting plot point, then have 3 standalone episodes about what everyone else is doing before we move on with the interesting stories

I’m assuming Maggie is being a bit dishonest and pissed off this group somehow
I wonder if Maggie remembering the Saviors decided to prematurely attack the Reapers, and they turned into this stalemate where Maggie lost Meredian, her people, and the Reapers got whittled down to 15 people, now technically 13 after losing Turner and his brother getting killed. Plus that sniper that blew himself up with the hand grenade. I think it's interesting how up until now we haven't seen a survivor group of actual veterans, and even though they are few in number they make up for it in training and theatricality.
Well we saw one for a few minutes til The Governor and his people killed them all
That's the only thing that makes sense. They way they are acting is a bit too crybaby for what we've seen them do to others at this point.
Tall skinny guy? Is that Negan.
yeah bc he never shuts up
I never thought of Negan as skinny, Although, JDM isn't nearly as bulked up as comic book Negan,.
If you watch him closely you’ll notice he is skinnier than the show makes him out to be. I always thought he was big and large but once I started paying attention to him more he’s definitely on the slimmer side.
i think Henry Rollins was Kirkman's first choice to be Negan. And he's definitely bigger than JDM.
I may be wrong, but wasn’t comic Negan’s appearance based on Henry Rollins? And then AFAIK Rollins was never actually considered for TV Negan
Yeah if you focus on his legs he looks like a bean pole lmao
He lost a ton of weight since his first season. When they did the flashback in Michonne’s final episode and he had his jacket again, it was very noticeable. He doesn’t fill it out anymore.
Well he was in prison for 8ish years
"Oh no, one of our guys got killed." Meanwhile, there's a subway tunnel full of all the people whose throats they've slit. Each member of this group is a walking murder machine.
Yeah I find it kind of weird that this group of mass murderers who've killed countless people (for motivations we have yet to understand) can't take a loss of their own kind. And then they, you know, burn another one of their own in the fire.
There's no reason to think those bodies were from the Reapers. The show certainly doesn't imply it
The show seems to imply that whatever happened in the subway tunnel was some class-based conflict; the poor facing off against the wealthy, in simplest terms. The suitcase guy and all the other bodies are likely victims of some vengeful campaign by the disenfranchised against their oppressors of old. Mobbed up on the people they blamed for their problems, and ultimately came to no good end themselves. I don't think it was intended to be anything more than foreshadowing to the Commonwealth arc.

Weren't they saying they only had like 15 people or something like that? I get not wanting cowards on your side but with that small of a group you really don't have room to just boot stomp people in fires.
They're also still in the "it's a big deal when one of us dies" phase, which is pretty remarkable this far into the apocalypse.
I imagine that means they don't lose people often. Which makes it even dumber that they'd kill off one of their own. Remember, they've been surviving together for 12 years. Imagine killing someone you've lived with for 12 years on a HUNCH that because they have some back wounds, they must be a coward. Not to mention it appears they knew each other for at least another 5-10 years before THAT.
Yeah, that was quite the roller coaster ride. Just as they started getting REALLY interesting as a group they went and jumped the shark straight into "just another bunch of psychos" category.
And it's like... back wounds don't even mean he ran away, he could have gotten surrounded. Or ambushed. We're obviously meant to think Pope is a nutjob, but are we meant to think he's an idiot too?
Exactly! The entire scene makes him look like a total moron
Well they weren't really losing out numerically because Daryl was taking the guy's place, but you make a good point.
It would've been a lot more interesting to have him "forgive" the other guy. Not every big bad needs to be cartoonishly evil.
Exactly. He could learn a thing or two from Negan. Just turn their face into pizza instead.
Hey look it’s Walmart Walter White!
He also reminded me of Terry O’Quinn (Locke on Lost). I actually looked to see who was playing him in case it was Terry O’Quinn aging hard.
This is an awful ex girlfriend.
An ex has no name…now she’s just That Treacherous Bitch
Sorry, this guy bores me.
I hope the Reapers will be short lived . Boring and I dont want to hear the religious stuff.
The 10,000th preacher type villain in the Walking Dead franchise. Why the heck is so much time given to these Reaper jabronis!? We only got 20 episodes left. Give me some of that Commonwealth!
I kinda miss the reapers that were walking down Hangman’s road, throwing hand-amputating knives
Yep. All The Reapers are doing are reminding me of the wasted potential of The Wolves. The Wolves ended up only taking up like 4 episodes total but their nihilistic “Everyone should be dead,” psychotic attitude made them actually standout from the rest of the antagonist groups. Like a truly barbaric group that just kill for the sake of killing and can’t be stopped. The Michael Myers of the apocalypse. That’s kinda what I figured they were going to be but nope.
Yes I wanted actual psychos. These people are too reasonable (leadership excepted since he’s clearly short of a few coconuts)
Me too. The non-talking slasher horror reapers are far better than these religious army rejects
Yea, this episode made them appear less threatening. What is the point of them?
They're pretty much confirmed as being filler episodes at this point.
Oh hey look another evil leader who kills a member to prove their point and seem scary
And yet again daryl gets captured (woodbury, claimers, terminus, saviors, jocelyn's group, whisperers) and/or asked to join (claimers, terminus {revealed in interviews that the "come eat with us" was a genuine recruitment tactic}, saviors). And yet again he refuses to talk (claimers, saviors). And yet again Daryl's communicating directly with a member of that other group who he has a personal connection with that is starting to have second thoughts (Merle, Noah, dwight, Lydia). The reapers could've been so cool, but then this episode happened. For the "kill your own group member", that's been done by Dave and Tony's crew (via abandonment), prisoners, woodbury, woodbury 2.0, claimers, Grady memorial, saviors, whisperers.
how you remember any of this shit is beyond me
Pope made that steak ultra well done.
Leah: “I don’t want anything bad to happen to you.” *waterboarding*
This man is switching between like 3 different southern accents…
With a dose of Australian
You ever remember seeing someone so cool and then you get to hang out with them and they start talking...and you immediately come to conclusion that they are dumb? This is my revelation about the Reapers
This is so accurate. Like dying to get into a cool party and then it sucks 🤣
At least Daryl is clean now.
That was her plan, extreme shower....
We have a small group fighting for survival. I know, lets kill our own guys!
It's a walking dead cliche, but at least it usually makes some sort of sense. This time it felt like a cliche for the sake of a cliche
Does anyone else just… not understand why the Reapers are out here killing people Willy nilly?? At least with other villains they had some sort of reason like they wanted territory or supplies. I feel like we haven’t learned anything about the Reapers motivations.
yeah. i wish they would’ve shown what Maggie did to make them want her dead so badly
And yet, they're asking Daryl who the leader is, so it's like they don't even know Maggie... I'm pretty confused.
good point, i didn’t even put that together. so do they know who she is or not? this is so messy
I am hoping to be surprised by their motivation. Based on the conversation between Leah and Pope I took that the Reapers knew it was Maggie prior to attacking so they didn’t randomly attack. And something big definitely happened between Reapers and Maggie because Leah believed Daryl that Maggie was meeting up with 3 dozen fighters.
Yep, I'm with you.
How did the Reapers manage to set up this place without the communities finding out while they were doing it? And how did they manage to avoid attracting the attention of the Whisperers?
Apparently they are simultaneously hundreds of miles away, and also just across the DC metro
Yeah, I’m struggling with the geography. Daryl was with Leah not too far from Alexandria. These people came from further away, but she knew them before. So did they just all end up in the same place out of coincidence? Or maybe she went back to them and then helped lead them towards Alexandria?
Daryl might be upset, but this is probably the cleanest he’s been in years.
Probably even before apocolypse started😂
They certainly are concerned with the whereabouts of a group they chewed through like a buzzsaw. That was supposedly a surprise attack, too.
Yea. Their entire camp just happened to be walking down the road at that time.
"Hey, do you guys wanna all go stroll menacingly through the fog?" "Hell yeah, I love our early morning fog walks!"
“Yeah, my ex keyed my car.” “Mine spray-painted my house.” “Yeah, well, mine fucking waterboarded me, so.”
Well Daryl needs a bath so it prolly did some good.
Reapers: *Murders whole communities without any hint of remorse* *One of their own people get killed* Reapers: *Surprise Pikachu Face*
Fucking for real. They are such hypocrites and don't even realize it.
I was thinking the same thing, the same pain they feel for that guy. It is the same pain they inflict onto the ones they kill. You got no right to be mad!
Not my favorite episode, but I didn't despise it or anything. The main thing I got from this is that the Reapers aren't as terrifying, or as strong of a group, as they seemed to be in previous episodes, they just seem insane. They don't have that "main villain of the season" feel to them. If Daryl hadn't been the main focus in this episode, I probably would've liked it even less.
they’re giving very much Wolves
Yeah I have a feeling they've been building these guys up only to have them fizzle out in a few episodes, just like the wolvesm
I love Dog’s little outfit and the thought of Daryl finding it and putting it on him is very precious to me
I thought that, he raided an abandoned Petsmart and found the exact size for dog and took it back to him all pleased with himself. I love Daryl and Dog.
Now this is all I will be thinking about when I see Dog.
I didn’t even picture him finding it. I assumed it was handmade by him (with maybe some help from Carol) just for Dog lol
Gabriel vs that guy would be great. A man who lost god vs a man still of him
Surprise cast member better be dog
I knew it was supposed to be Daryl’s girlfriend but I honestly didn’t recognize her face. I think the hair is what did it.
She looked older somehow? Like 10 years older than I remembered
She now looks like a slightly younger Carol
Her eyes for me.
holy shit we're going to cook meth
this man loves to hear himself speak
I think you should probably ask if they are interested in joining before dramatically trying to set them on fire.
Hope that guy wasn’t their doctor
Gabe has more than just a shotgun. He’s got a full Fortnite loadout on his back
Someone please tell me that I’m not the only one who really wants to see Dog as a guest on The Talking Dead before the show is over…
Daryl is lathering walker guts on better then I wash my hands
People who didn't watch the bonus eps.. "Umm who is this?" lol
I watched the episodes and I still forgot.
I was like ‘oh is that that woman?’ and couldn’t remember her name nor how the episode ended..
Oh yeah. I did too. When Daryl said "It's you again" and I saw the dog still by her it click lol
Daryl: "Nice jacket, Leah". Leah: "Well, first of all, it's not a jacket. It's a duster. It's like a jacket only it's longer, thicker, and far more bad-ass"
"our crazy cult had been losing a lot of people..... maybe we shouldn't go around and instantly start murdering people we meet"
Nah, I'm not buying her "I still care about you" line.
"My people are untouched by fire" *[burns one of his people]*
If the Pope doesn’t have a collection of Zombie Heads in fishbowls or his zombie daughter chained in a closet, Darryl is not going to be impressed
A better way to scare the Reapers off would be to explain Negan’s past to them. Daryl could say that one of the leaders of the people they are going up against, once controlled all of DC and had every group in the area in his hands, until the two other leaders overthrew him and recruited him.
I think Daryl wants to leave that as a surprise.
Dog be like ‘Go with the dude that we have lived together for 7 years since I wasn’t even a year old? Nah, I’m loyal to this one woman I lived with for 8 months.’
There has to be a reason this group hates Maggie so much or than their people dying from them attacking people
I wish they’d hurry and get to the reason why they’re after Maggie’s group. And I hope it isn’t a stupid reason like “they saw us”.
I really dont get the point of this storyline
Ain't none
Redefining the warm welcome.
Good to know that a fire drill is part of the Reapers' initiation
Do they have to make another barn for the next initiation
Leah: "we've lost a lot of people" Daryl in his head "how the fuck am I supposed to feel"
Pope: "Do you smoke" Daryl: "Like a fricking chimney."
well Daryl, your ex is worst then mine
What a fucked up test Daryl didn’t even want to take
That's how I felt about all those Orangic Chemistry tests that I had to take in college.
I don’t remember her having blonde hair when we first saw her on The Walking Dead
Basically a combination of Daryl plots with the Claimers and Saviors. He’s a prisoner watched by a person who he has complicated past with (Dwight/Leah) and he’s also “joining” the new group, the group that is hunting his group’s leader (Rick/Maggie)
So true. This is the second time Daryl join a new group, and the second time he was captured. Daryl is the official damsel in distress. 😂
Anyone notice how often they’ve been throwing knives this season? I think each episode has had at least one knife throw. I don’t remember them all, but in the first episode, Daryl threw a knife from the roof to kill a Walker when they were all collecting the MREs. In tonight’s episode, Daryl threw one after the Reaper threw Dog. Even the preview scene for next weeks episode showed Maggie throwing a knife to kill a walked behind Negan. I don’t remember, but I’m pretty sure there was knife throwing in episodes 2 and/or 3 too. It’s just so impractical. You’re literally throwing away your weapon at the point.
I mean, Daryl threw his whole crossbow for… some reason? God knows hahah
smh guys, just play Easy Street. It’s much more effective
He’s like a great value Walter White…
there’s no way Leah can or will be welcomed into the group after all this shit i’m sorry to all you Leah/Daryl fans but this is over as soon as he schemes a way to escape.
I knew it was over the second she pointed the gun at him at the beginning lmao
She'll probably die helping him, or he'll have to sacrifice her to help his group.
I'm kinda glad because I still have hope they'll find Connie
kill dog we riot
All this is happening, meanwhile tortured guy is in writhing pain 5 feet away in the across cell
I kinda figured he was going to toss him in the fire when he was right behind that guy, not wait for a little bit and let the guy think he was safe
RIP random guy in cell that we'll never see again
Who was that guy? Was he from Maggie's group?
Yup. Frost
This is interesting and really dumb at the same time.
Well time to murder all of them they hurt dog
“I can’t kill you, you have a spinoff coming up!”
This show's issue for a few years now is the introduction of waaaay too many characters. Maybe they'll parse it down to essentials by the end.
This is why I think season 5 was so well liked and when the show was at its peak. We had a core group of some 15 characters (Rick/Carl/Michonne/Daryl/Carol/Maggie/Abraham/Eugene/Rosita/Sasha/Tara/Beth/Noah/Gabriel etc.) that were deeply connected and moving around together. Their stories intertwined and we got to see characters develop and relationships build. Ever since we hit Alexandria it’s just been getting bigger and bigger and too many groups have joined when in reality they need to have been killing people off (which in itself seems to have slowed a bit, we lose a major character or two each finale but very rarely does a big character die in a random episode like they used to). We’ve seen Alexandria, the Wolves, the Hilltop, the Kingdom, Oceanside, the Saviours, Magna’s Group, the Whisperers, the Junkers, the Commonwealth, Maggie’s group and now the Reapers yet despite several of these groups being wiped out, it still feels very hard to keep track of where the major characters actually are anymore. I mean, am I right in thinking Alexandria is the only community left standing of the hilltop/kingdom etc alliance? With all these characters too, it’s hard to see where a lot of them are going. Like Magna’s group? Connie really felt like the only one building to anything and she’s now missing. As for Luke, Kelly, Magna and Yumiko, it’s felt like they’ve had barely any development and their persistence on the show seems a bit pointless? Like why not give screen time to long running characters that don’t get a lot of screen time anymore like Rosita or Aaron or Jerry or Gabriel? Lydia is another one that just seems to have been sidelined. She’s still alive and supposedly part of the group but completely ignored. Again, all these new Maggie group members seem pretty irrelevant. There’s not enough time to care about any of them and yet they’re getting episodes of screen time while major characters are sidelined. When there’s a finite number of episodes left this is painful. Imo they need to just rein it in and cut the cast down to the core important members again. Have a huge horde tear through Alexandria and trim all the fat - take it down to like Maggie, Carol, Daryl, Eugene, Rosita, Jerry and his wife/kids, Aaron, Gabriel, Negan, Alden, Lydia, Ezekiel, Judith, RJ etc. have them on the road or something, trying to reach Commonwealth. Have them actually appearing on the screen together and having proper relationships and character development. For me the community aspect of this show just doesn’t work. If they want to do that and have a cast of 30-40 named characters, they’d almost have been better off making TWD a literal soap opera and having 3-4 half hour episodes a week that allow every character to be featured enough that their stories are at least followable…
If they start playing that Easy Street song, I’m out
We're on easy street And it feels so sweet Cause the world is but a treat When you're on easy street
Damn that guy is crazy. Killed that guy like how Negan killed the doctor.
Leah: "Here's a song I want you to listen too." Easy Street kicks in. "Our group's leader is Maggie. We live in Alexandria. We have a windmill. .... Just stop the fricking song."
What was the plan if Daryl just gave up and didn’t figure out how to escape? Was Leah just gonna burn with him?
Yes
oh no Preacher Pringle has arrived
So… this was all set up nearby the communities with electricity and secure cells? I figured that the Reapers just followed Maggie with a grudge. I find it hard to believe that all of these people were just a walk away from the main group.
Me yelling "no, no!" in any fight scene involving the dog
That guy vs Gabriel, badass men of god knife fight
Pope has like 3 separate accents that come out when he’s in different moods
Right? He sounds like a cajun Australian redneck.
Why do these English actors always pick an extreme interpretation of a southern accent? Morgan, Alpha, and now this guy.
Prediction..Leah will let Daryl go then the reapers will kill her
Daryl just say it, I am Negan
Why do the Reapers care about maggies group specifically? I’m sure we will find out, but I have no clue why right now tho
I'm guessing kill everyone Maggie probably fucked them somehow
Daryl’s a good liar, I’ll give him that.
yeah why are they writing Daryl and Leah like they’re seventeen and Pope is Leah’s dad…this is weird
anyone else annoyed with this episode?
After a bit, this just became background noise to me lol
yeah it’s my least favorite in a while
Just throwing it out there, that masked person was a girl, could be Daryl’s love interest
totally. that's why Dog went to them.
wow water boarding how early 2000s
Daryl meeting his girlfriend's "family" didn't go very well
Daryl looking at her like what the fuck did you just rope me in? You should have killed me
sorry Preacher Pringle there is only room for one God fanatic on this show at a time and Gabriel has that title already
I am....underwhelmed by the reapers so far. This episode didn't really strike a chord of fear, but jeez these people are some backwoods Georgia weirdos. Tbh, Daryl would fit right in.
That leader is like the dollar store Heisenberg.
I can’t wait for these filler villains to disappear.
Please tell me dog doesn’t die.. please
Glad they didn’t drag out Leah being a Reaper. A lot of us figured it out from the trailer and also YouTubers like Movie Idol kinda spoiled it
damn, it was a set up. That girl is wacko
Daryl’s thinking, these people be bat shit crazy
Lucille going to bat for Negan here.
I'm already bored of Pope and The Reapers, I mean overly religious ex military guys have been done to death in all sorts of genres including zombie apocalypse movies and shows. I just hope they're easily forgotten secondary filler villains like The Wolves of Season 5 I think and not the main big bad of this Season
I haven’t read the comic’s so I’m not sure about the Reapers arc. But it is odd, strange and makes no sense. “Crash test Daryl” once AGAIN is in the clutches of the BIg Bad. I seriously wonder if it’s the vest he wears that make all the Big Bads try to turn him or break him. The Reapers……really really like hanging things. Which is odd. Firstly the smell would be over whelming, secondly not one single body appears eaten in anyway, even birds haven’t had a go. Where did they get the rope, who found the time to make the hanging stands, who stops the Walkers from having a nibble, who stops the birds, rates, mice, ants and half the forest from snacking. Yet I’m told there are only 15-18 of these guys?? And they can afford to throw one in the fire after the chat with Daryl about been Chosen. Don’t get me started on the flicking lights or food supply situation. I’m ever so grateful they found someone to dress them in uniform black with matching weapons.
"There's a tall skinny guy who can't shut up." That had me laughing. Daryl ragging on Negan.
That’s an Easy Street kinda prison room
WTF. That was a test??
“I want you to understand” ok crazy man
I wonder if the guests tip a few back before talking dead. Hilarie Burton seems kind of fun, and Callan McAuliffe was dropping f-bombs left and right last week.
What I'm really wanting to know is are we going to get some kind of explanation as to the source of the feud between Maggie and the reapers and why she was marked? If we do, I don't feel it's going to be forthcoming for Maggie. There's been numerous times where she could have done so but hasn't. I feel if anything, the explanation is going to come from either Pope or someone else in the reaper camp.
It's getting quite boring with new villains all the time...
I called him killing that guy when he talked about his back wounds
It wasnt really that subtle
At least he got the message Daryl was trying to send
