Hope this episode won't be so painful to watch.

 

[Drizzle]

The Kingdom should be a far more pleasant experience than the premiere, but I just hope they don't spend the whole episode there.

 

[Elevator Man]

It's Gimple's m.o. to make episodes that aren't just centered around Rick from time to time, but on characters that have been separated from the group in different locations. This probably won't be the only bottle episode this season either. We might get an episode that goes into Negan's backstory, there's also the mysterious Tara and Heath adventure. Heck we'll probably get an ep that delves more into Jesus, Gregory and the Hilltop community (especially with Maggie and Sasha heading there). So it wouldn't surprise me if this ep is only centered around Morgan, Carol, and the Kingdom.

Do you think there is even a little chance of Negan showing in the episode?

 

[Jason Kane]

Probably til next week but today it's Kingdom time!

 

[squeekness]

I want a tiger, too.

 

[Slick]

Shiva!

 

[Jason Kane]

Yes

 

[squeekness]

Ha, ha, Carol. "Are you ****ing me?" I was waiting for that.

 

[Evelisse]

I'm guessing they want the rot filled pigs for Negan's cut...

I hope

cause all my Negan apples would be spit shined

 

[squeekness]

When it comes to "Not thinking twice", I'd rather have my Peter, Paul and Mary.

Looks like you called it.

 

[Morg]

so now we get to see what happens when they eat the pigs after they ate that walker...oh fun

 

[Slick]

I hate the Saviors so much.

 

[Jason Kane]

I hate the Saviors so much.

Ditto

 

[NotNickFury]

That is an ingenious plan. It's been years since reading this arc, so I forget if The Kingdom folks did anything similar to this in the comic in regards to their arrangement with The Saviors, but as far as the show goes, that's a pretty smart idea.

It reminds me of, and I don't know if the show will do this, but

Spoiler

the idea of coating weapons in walker guts in order to infect other people when attacking them.

I think Ezekiel might just grow on me. Hope they don't kill him off too quickly like most of my other faves.

Ezekiel so far has been done to perfection. I love the actor, and I love how he's playing the character. Definitely going to be a new favorite of mine if this is any indicator.

 

[Jason Kane]

Carol gets a house?

 

[Evelisse]

Ezekiel wants some Carol

and pomegranates take to much work to really enjoy one

 

[Drizzle]

To follow up one of the most intense episodes, it's only fitting that we get one of the most mellow episodes, if not the mellowest of the whole show to date. I thought it was going to be really slow but I quite enjoyed it. It's cool to see Shiva around, though she's just window dressing for now.

I think Ezekiel might just grow on me. Hope they don't kill him off too quickly like most of my other faves.

Same. I was iffy about the actor (I was worried he'd be too young as I was expecting more of a Keith David type), but he sold it for me during that scene with Carol at the end.

Can't wait until the Sanctuary next week!

 

[NotNickFury]

This felt like the equivalent of "The Next World" following up on "No Way Out" with how light hearted it was since it a pretty focused episode. I like how Ezekiel saw right through Carol's BS act- the people of The Kingdom are at least smarter, it seems, than the people of Alexandria- and was upfront about who he is and how he pretty much had to take on this role after being raised to near god level by the people.

But, at the same time, he's not a pushover like Gregory and is willing to fight, even if he would rather not. He's like a more proactive Morgan. He may not advocate violence, but he's willing to fight if the time calls for it, even if long term by giving poisoned pigs to the Saviors.

Too many darn seeds.

 

[rashad]

Solid follow-up episode. The look of the Kingdom is great. Awesome introduction for Ezekiel. His scene with Carol before she left was amazing and so well acted on his part.

DEUCES BABY!
