Yeah, Noah was a bit much. I was trying to eat while watching that.
spoiler not needed. it's TV talk.
speaking of spoilers...a request for the comic folks - 4 gravestones were shown in the preview.
1)noah
2)aidan
3)??
4)??
tara? the wife beater? aidan's buddy? father gabriel?
who is it?
I hate having a mound of dirt for no body but the first two seem clear. third might be Tara, she might not survive her wound. If not here two other candidates:
Spoiler:
Rick and Pete go at it a 2nd time about him abusing his famnily, and in the scuffle, Regina, the wife of Douglas Monroe, who is the leader, is killed by Pete and then Rick shoots Pete. I can see Deanna's husband, who is named Reg (?), being killed instead. To Pete and Reg could be the other two.
So in the hour epsiode they would need to have the fall out from returning home without Aiden and Noah, Rick arresting Pete and then him going crazy at the end intertwined with Darryl and Aaron.
We were trying to figure out what Aidan had admitted to before he died. It was as if a deathbed confession of some sort but for what wasn't quite clear. It was almost as if he was implying that they had done things in taking over Alexandria but it wasn't clear.
(And growing up here, their Alexandria bears no resemblance to the actual one...)
Aiden was asking his buddy not to leave him but his buddy (Steve?) said he has to that's what they do. Alluding to a previous supply run where aiden and his buddy left two others to die? I think lol.

Yeah, I realized that. Alexandria in general though - many of the nicer neighborhoods on the outskirts of the city were built on reclaimed marsh and swampland. And WAYYYYY more developed. And FWIW, the original survey of Alexandria is said to have been made by George Washington. Though as far as the post office is concerned, Alexandria spreads the whole way down from the city itself all the way adjacent to Fort Belvoir, and west all the way almost to Springfield. Not much in high ground but there are some small hills, so thinking of the wide area that is called Alexandria by the post office can give some more free license to the production team.
At some point in the show - can our heroes stop being surprised by the 400 walkers that were literally feet away. Every week there are scenes where either one or in some cases lots of walkers somehow go undetected. I get it - it's a show... but there has to be a better way to deal with that.

Yeah, this annoys me too. I like how the walkers gasp and groan and growl loudly when they're attacking the heroes but a large pack of them can still stealthily sneak up without making a sound.

I think this is true. It seems to be their "practice" to not try to rescue their own when one becomes overwhelmed. I thought this was illustrated when Abraham's group was ambushed while loading the construction supplies and no one from the Alexandria group lifted a finger to rescue Francine.
I also think this is why Nick ran made no attempt to help Noah and Glenn after he got out of the revolving door.
Michonne you suck. I'm more annoyed that drunken surgeron wife beater husband put more of a fight up against Rick than the Governor, Shane, Gareth, and Tyrese, I can't wait till that guy gets ripped apart
Rick was coming off like a lunatic. I know this is a new world and all, but why not tell everyone, "This guy is beating his wife so badly that the boy wants a gun to defend his mother"? That would have made him come off a lot better than ranting and raving in the middle of the street about getting things done.
Well rick is still kind of a lunatic who is struggling to keep his dark side in check. Bad fighter though - especially for a cop. A bunch of white collar civilians are pretty good at beating him up.
And hey, lady who plays Sasha...please dial back what you're doing with your face. It's making everyone very uncomfortable.
That fight was a little lame...Rick would've thrashed him normally. Not sure what was going on there, other than hamfisted attempts at keeping the other guy alive for something else.
If we end the season where I thought we would they need to cover a lot of stuff next week.
As far as next season and eventually Negan:
Spoiler:
I think the person who will end up getting killed will be Carol. I don't think anyone doesn't like her and she is definately "B" level after Rick, Darryl and Michonne. That death would hit the hardest yet of anyone.
i think it would be a mistake if carol ends up dying any time soon.
1) i don't think it would be that big of a "NOOOOOOO!!" moment for the audience since she's not exactly warm and fuzzy
2) her character development is the most pronounced out of anyone. she's important to keep around.
