The Walking Dead - S06E11 - "Knots Untie" 2/28/16 *spoilers*

Abraham getting so easily overpowered was a little strange. I honestly thought his GF was dead as I don't recall seeing her for a season or so!

 

"We don't have a problem with confrontation."

Truer words were never spoken!

 

Abraham having thoughts about Sasha while naked Rosita is standing in front of him is just plain crazy.

The way the whole thing went down at The Hilltop just seemed like our gang got setup by some kind of long con. I wouldn't be surprised if there is no "brother" being held hostage and this was all just a setup to get the Alexandrians to do their dirty work for them.

Wow...a long con involving the leader getting gut-speared and 2 of their guys killed?

 

Well, if you really want to sell it...

 

Not sure why Rick would sign up to eliminate another group. There will surely be causalities in doing so. Seems like a bad idea.

 

Yeah, something big is coming. I think that was made clear when Maggie said "It's going to cost us something". Rick and Michonne getting together, Glenn & Maggie's baby, rebuilding Alexandria, finding another community they can trade with, etc. Skippy's right, no one does stay happy for long on TWD.

 

I think they realized that was the only thing of value that they had to trade.

 

It was a decent episode to set up the introduction to negan. Hopefully they do that soon and not drag it out until the finale.

Still not sure why Rick told Maggie to be the negotiator??

The RV getting stuck scene was a bit odd. First they didn't show it stuck until they were getting out. I thought it was engine issues at first. Not a big deal but it seemed odd the way they did it. Then, all of a sudden, Jesus points out that they're here. Seems like he'd have known that well before they got stuck. Just not sure what the whole point of getting stuck was??
Didn't like Gregory at all.

 

Yeah, that part doesn't fit so well. But perhaps the stabbing of Gregory was supposed to be relatively minor just to sell the ruse, and then they underestimated how Rick & Crew would react.

Deanna had tapped Maggie as a potential leader and as one who could be good at diplomacy rather than just brute force. I think Rick recognizes that if he were in a negotiation with someone like Gregory, he'd probably punch or kill the guy rather than maintain his cool and negotiate effectively. In a situation where they're dealing with potential friendlies and they want to give a good impression, Maggie is much better at that than Rick.

 

When "the next big thing" goes down, I kind of expect either Glenn, Maggie, or Michonne to get offed. Possibly not, maybe they'll go with a lesser character or two. Father Gabriel? Morgan? The first three would be risky, especially Maggie given the circumstances. But the way they've been building Glenn/Maggie and Rick/Michonne, it almost seems like foreshadowing.

 

Would have been easier to just take the food from the Toppers by force.

 

Neither did Rick, which is why he asked Maggie to negotiate. He would have just punched him, or worse, and that would have ended the negotiations quickly.

 

My money is on Glenn being the next big casualty. They've been setting us up with him escaping sure-death scenarios. So when it happens next, we will expect the miracle save; which won't come.

 

Anybody notice Maggie/Laurens haircut on Talking Dead. They usually don't just change hairstyles out of the blue unless something major happened.

 

I think you mean "Seven Samurai".

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. At least they're bringing the fight to the bad guys and not just sitting tight and defending the peasants' home turf.

 

Take a fish from a man, and you eat for a day. Teach him to give you fish, and you eat for a lifetime.

 

Spoiler

Though the show and comic don't follow exactly, that's the comic scenario.

 

Damn it. Thanks a lot for the possible spoiler. Please delete your post or put it in spoiler tags.
