The Walking Dead, Season 7-*SPOILERS ABOUND*

[Exian]

Great fucking episode!

I loved seeing more of Dwight's and Eugene's stories. Really just expanding on lesser known characters in general was sorely needed. This episode sticks out as being not more of the same. What's interesting is we saw both characters on their way to switching their respective sides, but by the end I think they just met in the middle. I feel like the end where Dwight and Eugene were sort of sizing each other up hinted at a possible team up.

And that damn song. When Eugene's fate as Negan's prisoner was slowly being revealed to him and he was being shown to his room, I still felt like the other boot was going to drop. I feel like when he locks the door and hits play on the stereo, that was the director saying to us that this was Eugene's version of what they put Darrel through. Even when the wives were asking him to betray Negan, I thought that was a test to see if he could be trusted.

I gotta say, though, I completely saw him submitting to Negan, but I didn't think he'd enjoy it as much as it looked like he did. But! At the very end, there was a hint of this being part of his plan to get out or on top. What do you think?

I don't agree; Extian. I thought the episode was boring as hell. The show without Rick's group poking the scene is just off. It's just as terrible as the one with Morgan and the guy with the stick.


Nothing against Eugene and Dwight, but they would not fair nicely on the entertainment scale without the main actors.

You have a point, the stars of the show are the stars for a reason. But I enjoyed learning about those characters because they don't exist in a vacuum and what happens to them will effect Rick and his crew.

Similarly, Rick and his crew don't exist in a vacuum. The problem with only having episodes center around them is that it starts to look like they do exist in a vacuum. It gets boring and stale when they don't have to deal with new elements. And without fleshing out the other members of Rick's crew they all start to lose their personalities. "We are Rick"
