Thanks for the headstart.

Thank you for kicking this thread.

Gonna be a bloody next few episodes, I fear.

It was so sugary sweet, people all over were gagging.

That was quite an unceremonious dump.

I think Abe's just got a crush on Sasha and decided to make a move on her, rather than stick with Rosita. Personally, I think Abe should have counted his blessings...

What a jerk

I think I will do a debate thread in GDP, see if I can't force people to be nice again. ;-D

thanks for asking, though.

Pop in and say hello to the debate thread... which I am starting in a few, in GDP.
I FORCE people to be kind to each other, LOL.

The Walking Dead. I'll vote for Clinton or Sanders in the GE, so it doesn't really matter to me.

Gregory is certainly an asshole.

For Shits and giggles.

ENT. Some time in the Future. An Elementary School Classroom.

A woman, in her 30s, walks around the classroom, looking at the children's pictures hanging on the wall. The pictures are of families. Everyone is happy and smiling. The woman smiles to herself.

There is a knock on the door. A man walks in.

Ted: "Ma'am? The President is ready."

Woman: "Thank you."

Ted leads the woman down the hall. At the end is the President, surrounded by her staff. The President looks up. She is a distinguished woman with stunning gray hair. It is Maggie Rhee. She smiles brightly.

Maggie: "Judith!"

Judith: "Madam President. It is so nice of you to invite me here."

Maggie: "Please, call me Maggie. I saw you grow up. As far as I care, you're family."

Judith: "You're too kind."

They embrace.

Maggie: "It's been far too long. How are you? How's life in Memphis?

Judith: "I'm wonderful. Charles and Glenn are doing great."

Maggie has tears in her eyes: "You named your son Glenn?"

Judith: "Your husband saved my life. I only wish I could do more. He was a great man."

Maggie hugs Judith. They have a long embrace.

Maggie: "It is so very nice to see you again."

A staffer comes over.

Staffer: "Ma'am, we're ready."

Maggie: "Yes. Thank you." She composes herself. (To Judith) "You ready?"

Judith: "Yes, let's go."

They walk outside. It is revealed that the school is named The Rick Grimes Elementary School. There is a statue of Rick outside the school.

Judith speaks at the podium: "We were the walking dead. Destitute and on the verge of extinction. But a few people decided to fight. My father, was a great man. Glenn Rhee, Daryl Dixon, my brother Carl, my mother Michonne. We were on the verge of death. It is with great sacrifice that we are here today, finally free from the scourge of the walker plague that had us on the brink of extinction. We WERE the walking dead. But THEY fought back so that WE might live."

The camera pans out to reveal a bustling, mid-size town as the screen fades to black.

They'd still need walls and weapons, but a large community could be a great place in the long run.

Where, 30 years out, the zombie threat has been nearly neutralized outside of perhaps cold areas or places near water.

going about Alexandria set to some oddly upbeat music

Oh no! She's up to something.

I think

Carol leaves the last cookie on Sam's grave. She feels guilty.

she thinks it's partly her fault.

But, yeah, she probably feels a twang of guilt.

a page out of Arya Stark's book...

Abe, you are cold, and you were an asshole to Rosita

Abe was a two timing jerk in the comic book, but also a more prominent player there.

Gregory's head... I assume it will be a fake head in a sack or something?

didn't realize they had so many

Something very bad is going to happen.

I can only imagine the others..

Oops, here we go.

I believe they are Lucille's handiwork

Is that a kind of gun?

It ain't pretty.

but, it's best to see for yourself

I think my blood pressure just spiked up when that alarm went off

that was a pretty badass amen there

I like the badass bible quoting Angel Gabriel

to become a paladin

Father Gabriel will never equal the sheer badassery of Samuel L Jackson in that role in Pulp Fiction.

that was quite a cliffhanger

Get Morgan out of your head! If you weren't so busy chastising Maggie you might have heard people nearby.

OK. That's out of my system now.

Bloody episode.

why a bunch of women were out in the Woods as well?

of the Saviors that were at the place... so, why would a group of women been out wandering at night?

Just seems strange, considering the comic.

Alicia Witt, the red-headed ring-leader, I have never liked in any role she's ever starred in. So maybe she dies after a couple of episodes.

and don't think I would have seen anything she's been in

Perhaps she's Negan's favorite at the moment and that's why? Maybe that's how they'll explain it.
