So the dude Daryl blew up wasn't Negan?

I believe the bikers were some of Negan's minions.

Too bad for Rick his nascent girlfriend got munched. No loss at all with her two kids becoming Zombie ChowÂ®, however. Glad to see both of them go.
The preacherman grew a pair, and so did the fake scientist guy. That was unexpected.
Carol got to put the coup de grÃ¢ce on that dirt bag that Morgan refused to off. More proof that she was born again hard.
I wonder if Morgan is going to get his act together finally? I hope so, as I like his character.

Black male characters on TWD are like red shirts on Star Trek. He's toast.

When Carol started muttering "I should have killed you[Morgan]" I began to wonder if she might have some unfinished business with him.

That's strike two for Morgan, in which he left people go who later tried to kill Alexandrians. I don't think anyone is really pleased.

Rick and Michonne sittin' in a tree...

Okay, another lame move nit to pick: Why did they give up the car when they found the truck? Bad tactics. They knew their car was in good shape. Truck was an unknown quantity with fuel of an unknown condition. One guy shoulda drove the car and one guy the truck. In fact the truck did break down when Jesus was driving it.

Sometimes I really think that they've survived the Zompocalypse in spite of themselves, not because they're good at it.

My nitpicking aside, I do have to say that I liked this episode. Even though it wasn't really action packed, I thought it was a good, "day in the life during the zombie apocalypse" episode.

It gave the sense of, "This is how the world is now, and this is how we live now". The mundane aspect was actually pretty powerful.

Music score advice:

For when they were chasing "Jesus" around in the field, the music score should have been Boots Randolph's "Yakety Sax," otherwise known as the Benny Hill Theme.

THAT would have been awesome and hysterical. Would also have shown the writers have a good sense of humor.

I agree with you 100%.

It comes right up there with my absolute favorite episode, one that was particularly brilliant and not really action packed... What's Happening and What's Going On.

That's the one where Tyreese is bitten by Noah's little brother and dies. It was an absolutely brilliant bit of psychological drama.

Yup good episode. Two in a row....prepare for some level of stupid in the next episodes....

Yeah I wouldn't have left the black car, either. consider that during their run in with Jesus, they wouldn't of had to run to chase him. They'd easily pursued him in that car.
Now, to get that truck out of the lake....

Tangent: I can't remember - can TWD zombies "survive" underwater? I know in several zombie books I've read, zombies are still viable underwater. I can't remember if TWD zombies are or not.

On another note, do zombies float or sink? I would think they'd have enough decomposition gases in them to float.

A few seasons ago, didn't we see a zombie underwater that was chained into place? Some sort of lake or pond, and as I recall, the zombie was still moving.

Yes. The governor was standing on a pier and there was one chained to something in the lake.
It would be a huge risk. Don't they show someone fighting with a zombie underwater in some of the previews?

"Don't they show someone fighting with a zombie underwater in some of the previews?"

I THINK that those were previews for Fear the Walking Dead, which restarts on April 10.

After the slow-roll suckfest that was season 1, season 2 had damned well better start with a bang or I'm done with it.

I know that they wanted to show things as they started, instead of coming in to zombie world as they did in The Walking Dead with Rick coming out of his coma, but holy *expletive deleted*it, they could have compressed the whole "our neighborhood is an armed camp guarded by the Nat Guard" from 3 episodes to 1.

As for floater zombies, that's an interesting observation. You'd think that once someone becomes a Zed that their stomachs would distend from decomposition and, especially more so, if they ate a human or animal. Yet all of the zombies look like they've come out of a spin class at Ghoul's Gym, even in the beginning.

They've set the Jesus chase scene to Yakkity Sax...

It's interesting that Ricks group has now become muscle. Also, the trailer for next week shows markedly better gun handling when they're clearing a hallway. This *expletive deleted*it with Negan will be interesting to say the least.

In a sense, they were muscle ever since they arrived in Alexandria. In volunteering to take on Negan and the Saviors, they've become, in essence, mercenaries.

I suspect that they will underestimate the Saviors as an adversary, and this little adventure is going to go all sorts of sideways.
