We're uploading all of our episodes - two a week, starting with Episodes 1 & 2, this week - to our #FacebookPage! Carol, heavily medicated + Dave, heavily caffeinated = An Episode PACKED with insights (a ping-pong of slurred & stammered speech). * Carol's prediction of The Junkyard Gang's fate comes true... as well as #CarlGrimes having writen a note to #Negan * #RickGrimes is stuck: not ready to make Carl's dream real. Just when you thought there was the occasional breakthrough * #Michonne may be struggling, still stuck on the future of Alexandria, but is trying her hardest to reach Rick... * Why did Negan keep The Grimes House intact? * Simon vs Carl, in Negan's eyes: The Brut vs The Most Prized Resource * Simon & Negan: a complete shift in our perception of them from when they were first introduced * Sending Simon to The Landfill (after witnessing his behavior in the conference room): Negan's biggest mistake. * Poll: Who will END Simon?

SquawkingDead.com: overhauled AGAIN! Long, but stay the course! We go pretty deep & get personal! Background Music by Bear McCreary * #TheWalkingDead has refined their solitary character-centric episodes, and this one, with #EugenePorter, is peak. * Try as you might, #TheSaviors get blood on their hands * Constant, scattered, and subtle reminders throughout the episode of why being a Savior sucks * Eugene is a Dufus and Dwight ain't f***in' around - both are committed to what were once opposing causes * Eugene is a good guy that has only known safety, but the lengths that he goes to maintain it... * Why Eugene is "#Negan": his talents have actual purpose at #TheSanctuary, as opposed to his uselessness in Alexandria * #DrCarson cuts through Eugene's Savior bullsh** and gets #FatherGabriel... weed... via con juana * Why the guts won't work, anymore, or why the Toxic #Walkers made Father Gabriel so sick, so fast *ding-ding* * Why Tanya's priorities may not be right, but she's not wrong: either way, another l
