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

They at least need to kill the long-haired blonde guy, and I think at this stage he's proven that that would be a just execution. They are absolutely telegraphing that he's going to do something bad and they will all regret letting him live. It would be ironic if he ends up killing Jesus, although that's definitely the kind of ham-fisted writing that this show seems to have swung towards.Still think they should execute all the POWs.
Good episode,Carl helping the new guy Sadek shows there is still some humanity in the world.
My take was that Rick didn't know if Siddique was a Negan spy or not. Who knows, even now he might still be? I think it is less likely now, but he certainly couldn't trust him in the middle of the battle. If Rick had been sure then he would have shot him. So, I'm not sure that Carl bringing him back now is such a large problem. You do have to ask how he has survived on his own all this time without ever coming into contact with the Saviours (or any other group) and only killed one man who had already been bitten.I enjoyed Carl's interaction with Sadiq
Reckon the dude that got roasted didn't think so either. It was awesome.Rosita RPGing that dude was pretty awesome though, although I can't imagine that was safe to do at that distance.
That could be exciting, but where would they go? The zombies around sanctuary are the key for keeping the region relatively peaceful. Maybe the trash tribe will accept them as long as they are fine doing weird stuff, while flashing boobs and butts.On the POWs. Are we getting set up for a mass prison break for the mid-season finale?
He is stubborn and I think the idea comes from his roots as a sheriff. Back in the days his job was to bother these sort of people, so why not now, when they're living in the Ricknation.Why oh why did Rick have to go visit the trash can tribe, they've already proved they can't be trusted.

I think Carl is trying to get back on the mission that Daryl abandoned. There are still people out there that needs help. People who might have important skills or even knowledge about things Ricknation needs. Things that are next to impossible to get alone, but with a group effort possible to achieve. And most noticable thing is that Saqid has survived longer than Carl or Rick without a community as @Dave pointed out. He is also proper skinny looking for being in that state.Carl's storyline was the highlight for me, although this show has conditioned me to assume that Sadiq will turn out to be a murdering psychopath or something.
Dilly dilly!Much more looking forward to Vikings and the return of GoT.
Plot armour.I too loved their interaction, although I was shaking on Carl's inability to put down the zombie. How did he not get bitten?
Oh, I remember that, and I certainly don't blame Tara for holding a grudge. It just seems strange for Darryl to go from being happy to use Dwight as an inside man to suddenly and without any interaction or provocation ready to march into the Sanctuary and murder him.Re: Culwych- Dwight murdered Denise and tortured Daryl so it is revenge suddenly brought up again.
Yes it seems some relevant scene(s) has been skipped. He has been moodily ignoring Rick's direction and killing people with little provocation. Perhaps he was musing on this revenge, but he didn't seem bothered before when he was signalling with Dwight.Oh, I remember that, and I certainly don't blame Tara for holding a grudge.

In the first episode Daryl told Dwight that he will kill him if there was monkey business. It happened and people died on Kingdom's side. Daryl also proved to Rick that he's not going to shell out mercy. Dwight has crossed him one too many times, so it's time for revenge.It just seems strange for Darryl to go from being happy to use Dwight as an inside man to suddenly and without any interaction or provocation ready to march into the Sanctuary and murder him.
I agree. Suffering along 'til the end. Enjoying the occasional bright spot.I thought this episode was a right stinker. They have been getting really bad this season and only 1-2 episodes so far have felt interesting - last weeks being one of them.
'The Walking Dead's Pollyanna McIntosh Discusses Nudity, Jadis Laying With RickMcIntosh, who appeared on ComicBook.com's After the Dead on Sunday night, opened up about the scene which required who to sit in a junkyard set wearing only an apron. "Those bare shoulders are pretty sexy, huh?" the actress joked. "It's more that the eye imagines, than what you see, which is kinda fun, not so much for the lads there, which was of course fun for me doing that scene." The Scavengers apparently like to have a few men walk around with extra skin showing, as well.
When it comes down to it, though, Jadis and her group are simply shedding the bounds created by civilization in shedding their clothing. "My feeling on it is that Jadis is a pretty open minded person, and she's created this world for them to live in," McIntosh said. "And part of it is being the human animals that we are and feeling comfortable and being a big family and it's not about necessarily a sexual thing, it's just whilst the apocalypse is a terrible time, there's also the opportunity to really live the way that you choose to live. And there's a freedom in that, and I think that's what that scene expresses."
As for tossing Rick into a hot container with no clothes on, the move seems like a tactic from the perspective of those looking in. While McIntosh won't rule out the possibility of Jadis working with Rick to defeat Negan, she does tease a few potential tricks on the horizon, which may or may not include fulfilling her "lay with him" request from The Walking Dead's Season 7 finale.
"Speaking for Jadis, she's always got something up her sleeve," McIntosh said. "She's always up to something, so I think part of the fun of her is the mystery. Is she madly attracted to this man, or does she just like figuring him out through playing some games with him? You know? I think going visually and going on his spirit, I don't see why she wouldn't rather fancy him. I mean, we all love the show and watch the show, and Andy [Lincoln] is an attractive guy, especially in that character. Rick is a powerful and capable leader, so yeah, she could do a lot worse, couldn't she?"
