#TheWalkingDead S7 Ep 13 "Bury Me Here" Recap & Review

The episode starts with the kingdomers loading the truck with one cantaloupe, but the mood was a little off everyone looked so sad. 

Carol is waking from what seem to have been a nightmare and light her lamp them a cigarette, while Morgan continues to train Benjamin little brother who was complaining about waking up so early to train. Carol heads out to the Kingdom and takes down some walkers in a tree with a street sign which made me a so happy I love badass Carol. When they open the gate to let her in and saw all the walkers down the look on the faces was priceless, she asks Benjamin for Morgan. Carol wanted to know why Daryl and the team came to the Kingdom and if everything was ok at Alexandria. Morgan refuses to tell her what happen to tell that what happen between her and Daryl is between them. Morgan offers to go with her to Alexandria, but by Morgan response, Carol knew that everything was not ok and they were hiding something from her which brought her to tears.  Carol head out and Benjamin offer to accompany her to cottage telling her that he could miss the drop because he was inspired by how she handled the walkers and wanted to learn from her but she refuses to tell him to go the drop. 

We see Richard behind a building digging, while Ezekiel looks out his kingdomers studying, picking cantaloupe walking around. My favorite scene of the night Nevada comes to talk to Ezekiel and steps backs a little when she sees Sheba and Ezekiel tell her that Sheba like he and she mumble “that’s what I am afraid of” (the look on the face had me crying from laughing). She had come to tell Ezekiel that is garden had Weaver, and the trees had to cut down and burned to prevent it from spreading and encourage him by telling him that they could all grow back, Sheba agrees and roared, and Nevada tells him that she think she pissed herself. Benjamin gives Morgan and house warming present; a framed he had found while out scavenging. 

The Kingdomers gets ready to meet the Saviors for the Kingdom's weekly drop off, on the way, there was a roadblock, and they came out to investigate, but there was nothing out of the ordinary except for a grave behind the building that said bury me here. Though it was disturbing the Kingdomers continues on their journey by clearing the road and heading out. 

Gavin tells them that they were late and Ezekiel try to explain, and he told him that doesn’t care, and Jerry yells don’t interrupt the killing, and Jared knocks him in the head with Morgan’s stick, and Gavin tells Ezekiel not to bring that your highness shit to him. He told him that appreciate that he has been delivering but things have become unnecessary tense, and he did not go this route for it and ask them for their guns. Ezekiel asks Gavin to give Morgan his stick back, but he told him that he had a choice and Morgan told him that it was ok. Gavin told them that he took their guns because the thing was about to get emotional because the was only 11 cantaloupes and not 12, Ezekiel told him to count again, but when he goes over, there was only 11. Gavin told Ezekiel that he would have to teach them a lesson and Ezekiel try to offer double the regular delivery, but Gavin did not have it. 

Gavin tells them that he was going to teach them a lesson right not, and Jared points his gun at Richard, who says “Just do it,” but shifts his hand at the last second before pulling the trigger and shoots Benjamin in the leg. Gavin tells them to settle down and tells Jared to give Morgan back his stick and get in the truck and not say a word. He then tells Ezekiel to listen “you will make your deliveries on time it’s A’s or S, not I” and that he needed to bring 1 Cantaloupe the next day no more and not less. They rush to Carol’s cottage, but Benjamin eventually dies after bleeding out.

Morgan left the cottage and became deranged, as he was before learning aikido, experiencing flashbacks of his son and wife. He contemplates suicide but backs out. He kicks a crate and finds the missing cantaloupe and realizes that Richard intentionally hid the cantaloupe. Morgan returns to the Kingdom and confronts Richard, who explains that he planned to provoke the Saviors into killing him, as Gavin had promised he'd be the first to die if anything ever went wrong. Richard promised Morgan that he would tell Ezekiel everything and that he would spend the rest of his life making up for Benjamin’s death.

The Kingdomers return to drop off the one Cantaloupe, and Morgan immediately asks Richard if he had told Ezekiel and he told him not right now, Ezekiel tried to inquire what was going to, but the Gavin and the Saviors drove up. Gavin asked about Benjamin with no response he knew he was dead, and immediately tells Jared to start walking before he killed him. Richard walks the 1 Cantaloupe over to Gavin and attempts to explain that he understood but before he could, Morgan who was frustrated by Richard not telling Ezekiel the truth strangles Richard to death. Morgan, they explain to everyone that Richard staged the missing cantaloupe to start a war. After exposing Richard's plan, Morgan assures Gavin using the same word Richard told him, that he knows what's at stake if things went wrong, to which Gavin frightfully consents. Morgan tells Ezekiel that Richard thought that he could choose and that why Dwayne but corrected himself and said, Richard.

Morgan tells them to head back to the Kingdom, then drags Richard's corpse to the open grave he had dogged and buried him there. He then returns to Carol and confesses that Negan and the Saviors killed Abraham and Glenn with a baseball bat and later Spencer, and Olivia. He explains that Rick wants to fight the Saviors and that's why he was in the Kingdom. Morgan prepares to go, intending to go after the Saviors and promises to kill them one by one, but Carol convinces him to stay using the same line Ezekiel told her “you can go and not go.” Carol returns to the Kingdom and finds Ezekiel, telling him she's moving to the Kingdom. Carol tells him that they need to fight and prepare for the imminent war. Ezekiel agrees but tells her that it would not be today as he plants with Benjamin’s younger brother. Finale scene we see Morgan back at the cottage sitting alone on the porch, shaping the end of his fighting stick into a sharp point.

#TheWalkingDead Season 7 Episode 8 "Hearts Still Beating" Mid-Season Finale

Sunday, December 11th, 2016 Sunday's90 minute Mid-Season finale was a whirlwind of drama, blood, fear, anger and death, all at the hands of Negan and his Saviors. But, the episode was no less exciting and entertaining...

****SPOILERS AHEAD. IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE MID-SEASON FINALE OF SEASON 7, I SUGGEST YOU TURN BACK NOW****

The eighth episode opened up with Maggie at Glenn and Abraham's graves. She was dressed down in work gear, jeans, an oversized shirt, gloves and a hat. After a moment alone, she made her way to the guard post. Who shows up? No one other than the lovely ass-of-a-leader, Mister Gregory. He tells Maggie that everyone is speaking kindly of her and Sasha but not to let it go to her head. Maggie simply smiles then asks if he is going to eat the apple he is currently shining on his suit jacket. He said that he is, but one of his guards says "Dude, you know she's pregnant, right?" Gregory tosses it to her, and she gnaws at her bite in a victory.

Next, we have Negan. As we last saw, Negan was making himself at home withinthe Alexandrian walls. He was shaving, telling Carl "Always again the grain, kid." Then, he set the straight razor down, Carl's eye looking down. Then, Negan begins to cook! He made some kind of homemade pasta, rolls and whatnot. Tara meets up with a teary eyed Olivia and hands over the powdered lemonade Negan requested to be made. Tara offers to take over but Olivia declines. She goes in, makes the lemonade and brings it to Negan. Carl was busy setting the table for four when she came over. He picked up a glass and poured some for Negan. He smiled big and takes a gulp. After waiting for some time, Negan grew tired of waiting on Rick, so he tells Carl "Lucille is hungry." He puts on a napkin bib and asked for Carl to pass the rolls. When he doesn't, he says "Please." And Carl hands them over.

Rick and Arron at back at the boathouse they discovered in the last episode. The only way across the pond is a bullet riddled dingy. Rick tells Aaron that he can sit this one out. Insulted, Aaron tells Rick that he'll pretend he didn't hear that as he breaks off panels from the sign the person had left for intruders.Rick and Aaron paddled through the walker infested pond, attempting to get to a canoe but things didn't go as planned...Aaron fell in. Rick yelled for him but Aaron went under. It was some time before he resurfaced and swam to the boathouse dock and Rick paddled over too. They gathered weapons, food and other supplies for home. Boy, are they in for a rude awakening... 

When the show came back from commercials, Eugene was just coming back from the outside. Spencer was handing over all of the supplies he'd found including the compound bow. The woman from episode three, the one Dwight was playing a drinking game with was all on Spencer, wanting to buy him a sandwich and take him home. Eugene was watching and she asked if he was watching. He said yes then she told him to get a move on. He left. 

We finally got to see Carol after six episodes! She was settling into her home nicely and found Morgan had dropped off a present for her. Fresh produce. But, she busted his bubble and told him that she had already been brought some. Courtesy of King Ezekiel. He was about to leave when a knock was heard. Ezekiel's main guard and fighter. He wanted to discuss business with them. He told them how the saviors had made a deal with them (just like at the Hilltop) and that the saviors are not to be trusted and that King Ezekiel wanted to get a plan together to take them down seems how things were getting towards the breaking point. They needed more fighters on their side then Morgan says how Carol is probably the best fighter in the room. He tells her that she needs to step up for the sake of the Kingdom but Carol doesn't want anything to do with them. She just wants to be left alone. He leaves. Then, after a few harsh words to Morgan, he leaves too.

Daryl made it out, the key from the last episode in hand. But, complications arose, and he had to hide. Guess where? DWIGHT'S ROOM! He ate peanut butter (despite disliking it) and changed. He changed his clothes, even wearing a hat and snuck out. It was his bike key, and he got his bike, but Fat Joey was out there. He ended up surrendering to Daryl, but Daryl beat the hell out of him, splitting his wig. Daryl grabbed the revolver that he had on him. Jesus showed up, and they left. 

Spencer cleaned up and got ready to meet with Negan. He brought him a bottle of alcohol, maybe a scotch or Brandi. They sat down, chatted, then they played a round of pool! Spencer brought up the fact that Rick wasn't the original leader and how he took over after his mother, father, and brother had died. After a moment of bad mouthing Rick, Negan says to Spencer "Why don't you just kill Rick yourself? He's out there risking his life, swallowing his hatred getting me shit while you, on the other hand, are trying to get me to do your dirty work." Spencer tried to backtrack, but the damage had been done. Negan split Spencer's belly wide open, and his guts spilled into his hands. Negan asked who wanted to finish the deed but nobody stepped up. Then, what does Rosita do? Takes a pop shot at dear ole Negan... 

Aaron and Rick had just returned from getting supplies, Aaron getting the snot kicked out of him, when they heard the shot. Rosita had missed Negan by literally a bat's wooden shaving. He went irate, Arat dropping her. Negan went off like a madman, saying how she ruined Lucille's perfection. Then, he asked her who did it. She said she did. Negan asked again. She grit her teeth and said that she did it then, Arat cut her face. Negan told her to kill someone. She killed Olivia. Then, Rick shows up. Rick went irate but Negan said how he did him justice, how Spencer was trying to get Negan and his men to kill him and not to mention, Carl sneaking inside of the Hilltop truck and gunning down a bunch of his men. Shortly after and the confession of Eugene's bullet making, they left, Eugene in hand.

After he killed walker Spencer, Rick went into Morgan's cell. He was with his axe and the note from the person they got the weapons with. Michonne shows up and they talk. She points out how he once said that everything they did was for them, only them and they can take on the Saviors. Then, they kiss. 

In the final scene of the episode, Maggie was visiting the grave sight of her fallen husband. Then, she went to the guard post. A smile instantly met her face and she called to Sasha. When they opened the gates, Rick, Michonne, Carl, Rosita, and Tara were there. Maggie smiled and Rick gave her a hug. Then, guess who was there? Daryl and Jesus! Rick in disbelief, he rushed over to him. Tears notwithstanding, Rick and Daryl embraced. Tara and Rosita embraced, then Rosita and Sasha and finally Sasha and Michonne embraced. Carl and Enid exchanged smiles. The group was back! Then, Rick and the group headed for Gregory's office...

What does this mean for the Alexandrians? What does this mean for the Saviors? What do you think is to come in part B of season 7? Let me know! What are your thoughts on this episode? Leave your opinions in the comments below!

#TheWalkingDead Season 7 Episode 5 "Go Getters" Recap and Review

Sunday, November 20th, 2016

****SPOILERS AHEAD. IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE FIFTH EPISODE OF SEASON 7, I SUGGEST YOU TURN BACK NOW****

Sunday's episode 'Go Getters' was the feel-good, slower paced episode that was needed. A break from the Saviors mayhem was overdue. Maggie and Sasha were a force to be reckoned with at the Hilltop and Jesus was back in action with his Hong Kong Fui, proving once again who should really be running The Hilltop.

Episode 5 opened up with Maggie looking at a vase of flowers (resembling Rick and Beth's hospital wake-ups). She was with the Hilltop doctor, Dr. Carson. He told Maggie that her baby was okay but due to severe trauma, the placenta had detached from the uterus. With rest, she and the unborn child would be okay. Sasha waited outside for Maggie. When she came out, they visited the graves. Abraham and Glenn had been buried at Hilltop which apparently wasn't approved by Gregory, The Hilltop's ass-of-a-leader. He told Jesus and the girls that they were to leave. Jesus convinced him that they would be able to stay at least the night. He would talk to Gregory later.

Next, we saw Carl, Aaron, Rick and Michonne talking. Rick and Aaron were going to go on a run for the saviors for when they returned. Carl didn't want to go, neither did Michonne. So they stayed while Rick and Aaron went. Michonne was given a radio and before he left, she gave him a smooch that I'm sure had fans going crazy. (Richonne for the win!) Carl was watching Enid preparing to leave when he stepped up. She wanted to check on Maggie. He wasn't going to stop her. She went. But while she was biking her way to Hilltop, a car came flying in, crashing into a walker and killing it. Carl and Enid went to The Hilltop together.

Back at Hilltop, Jesus gave Maggie some clothe that were his so they'd be more comfy. But when they were all cozy for the night, trouble struck. Music played, walkers intruded and hell broke loose. Sasha, being the badass she is, went after it. She killed walker after walker running to the vehicle that played the music. A hand with a middle finger lock was on the car. Maggie told Jesus that Sasha needed help so He jumped down and he went to business. Then, she told a few other Hilltop-ians to close the gates and they did. Maggie had a surprise in mind as well. Sasha and Jesus at work, Maggie grabbed the tractor and mowed down some walkers and the music car. Sasha and Jesus killed the remaining walkers.

The following day, Jesus was in Gregory's office trying to convince him that the girls could stay. Sasha and Maggie busted in, Sasha sacrificing her safety for Maggie's then some Saviors showed up. They came in, Simon in charge, Jesus hiding Maggie and Sasha. Gregory, like a dog on a six inch lead, followed every one of Simon's commands and looked pathetic. When the saviors left, he confronted Jesus about hiding Maggie and Sasha in his closet. Maggie laid down the rules, sucker punching Gregory, then Jesus made a call that would put Gregory out of leadership, deciding that he wasn't what was best for The Hilltop anymore.

Enid and Carl were seen outside of The Hilltop's walls as Simon and the saviors loaded up their supplies. Enid and Carl had a mutual understanding that they both wanted Negan dead, but for personal reasons, not for the good of Maggie, Sasha or Rick. Enid snuck in while Carl stayed behind.

Enid was seen at the graves with balloons on the right grave. (Abe's). Sasha and Maggie knew but Maggie didn't have the heart to tell her. She gave Enid the pocket watch that her father gave Glenn. As they ate dinner, Jesus went to work again. He jumped inside one of the Saviors' truck and poured one of the booze bottle out. Carl popped out behind one of the boxes. They were both on their way to the Saviors main compound...

#TheWalkingDead Season 7 Episode 3 "Service" Recap

Sunday, November 13th, 2016

****SPOILERS AHEAD. IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE FOURTH EPISODE OF SEASON 7, I SUGGEST YOU TURN BACK NOW**** 

Sunday's episode of The Walking Dead had many fans on the edge of their seats, yelling at their television sets. And at the end? Crying. Negan is a nasty villain with a good side, sadistic humor and all around son of a bitch. 

Sunday's 90-minute special opened up with Michonne and Rick in bed. No, nothing nasty. Recovering from their wounds. Rick laid one way, she the other. She got up, dressed, and snuck out her stashed rifle from their mantle. As she stepped out to leave, Rick was seen in the doorway watching her go. She was walking in a field, climbed atop a rusted and busted car, sniping a walker...or attempting to. She never hit it. She ended up lobbing its head off. 

When the commercials ended, we were brought back to Alexandria. Rick greeted Judith as Rosita and Spencer prepared to leave on a supply run for the Saviors. But, they got stopped. Negan and the saviors appeared by the truckloads. "Little pig little pig. Let. Me. In." Spencer opened the mesh gate, Negan smiling like a crazy man. He told him to let him in, and Spencer acted like a dumb person. Negan said he knew his impression was big enough. Then, Rick appeared. He let him in. Negan tossed Lucille into his hands and marched right in the "Safe Zone."

After a cat and mouse game between Rick and Negan, Negan informing Daryl was not to be looked at or spoke to; Negan had a woman by the name of Arat and the saviors sent to work. They went through the Alexandrian's homes and took whatever they wanted. Including their furniture.

Dwight spoke with Rosita and told her that he wanted Daryl's bike. He took their guns, dumped their water and even her hat.

While the saviors did this, Rick and Negan walked around Alexandria. He even cracked a can of soda. Negan wanted to know where the widow of "number two" was. Then, father Gabriel appeared. He scared the crap out of Negan with his crazy smile and his outfit. Then, asked if he wished to pay his respects. Negan did, along with his Negan-type apology. 

Everything was going well until Arat found Olivia's weapons records. She found that there were two missing, a clock 9 and a .22. Negan threatened Olivia's life so Rick pulled everyone together and told them that things would be much smoother if they accepted. They needed to give up the guns to protect the community, and it's people. No one fessed up so Rick, Gabriel and Aaron went on the search. Spencer had hidden them along with a bottle of liquor and food. He brought them to Negan. 

Rosita and Spencer found the bike. He loaded it up as she went for a gun run. She took a gun from one of the dead saviors, and they headed back. 

Michonne was seen looking at the walker's tracks and come to find out; she's shot a deer. Negan and the saviors were packing up to leave, Negan saying his final good-byes to Rick when Rosita and Spencer came back. They gave the bike to Dwight, Dwight taunting Daryl and then he sped off. Rick asked if Daryl could stay, but Negan wanted Daryl to convince him that maybe he could stay. He stayed silent. Rick sudden asked for a moment before they left because he spotted Michonne in one of the burned down houses out front. He went to her, convinced her that it was best that they handed over the gun. She walked back to Alexandria with the deer on her shoulders. Negan told Rick "he loves a woman who brings dinner and doesn't expect him to put out." After a few choice words from Negan, the saviors left.

Spencer said to Rick as he walked away, "We should've made a deal with them while we had the chance," then went, to taunting him about how it lead to the dead of Abe and Glenn. Rick told him that if he ever mentioned that again, he'd break his jaw and knock out every tooth. Then he walked away. 

Rick was at the house putting their bed back together on the floor when Michonne appeared. She wanted to argue, but Rick spoke first. "I had a friend. I don't talk about him much. He got Lori and Carl to safety right after it all started. I was in the hospital when it all started. I didn't know what was happening. My friend, his name was Shane, he and Lori were together, they thought I was dead. I know Judith isn't mine. I love her; she's my daughter, but she isn't mine. I had to accept that role protect her. So I could keep her alive. I'll die before her. Hopefully, that's a long time so that I can raise her protect her and teach her how to survive. I did what I did to protect everyone so that nobody else had to die. This is how we live now. I accepted that." Michonne picked up a blanket to help out Rick, and she told him "I'm gonna try."

In the final scene, Michonne was at her shooting spot. She saw something and went to investigate. When she saw what it was, it mortified her; the saviors had burned every last one of their mattresses.

#TheWalkingDead Season 6 Recap Plus Season 7 Details

The highly anticipated seventh season of the hit zombie apocalypse drama, The Walking Dead, returns this coming Sunday. Millions of fans await with eagerness and dread... The unknowns eating away at them... But the wait is almost finally over!! (Thank God)

If it wasn't massive hordes of flesh-eating walkers or packs of individuals deeply sickened by the New World known as the Wolves, it was the one and only Saviors terrorizing the welfare of the Survivors. Season 6 of AMC's hit drama The Walking Dead, was jam-packed with drama, love, joy and fear with a mix of the everlasting unknowns that the show will always have, but this season set a whole new perspective to the show's standards.

If season 5's finale wasn't big enough, the first five minutes of season 6 should have done it... The premiere episode, which aired October 11th of last year, was action packed from start to finish. The episode opened with Rick and a few new members in a quarry filled of walkers. They were blocked by semis, thousands deep. But the top semi slipped off the quarry's edge and walkers started to pile out. Rick, Daryl, Michonne, and others pit their plan into action to steer them away from Alexandria. 

The episode jumped from past to present many times, seeing the build up to that point in time in the episode. Tara woke up from her unconscious state shorty before Glenn and Nicholas arrived at the Alexandrian infirmary. Then it jumped to Glenn, Heath and Nicholas clearing a building that could detour the dead ones. While they do that, Rick, Michonne and Morgan meet up at a designated meet spot and wait. Sasha and Abraham are in a rusted out car, Daryl next to them leading the pack. They needed to lead the giant pack of walkers 20 miles away from Alexandria. Rick then meets up with Pete while the walkers are being lead successfully away. He got bit in the face and, well, Rick ended that problem. Then... The horn sounded...

Episode two opened with a short back story of Enid, Alexandria's newest member (next to the Survivors' arrival). It jumped right into Carol baking dinner, but when she looked at the lady across from her, she was stabbed... This led to the battle between the Wolves. Spencer managed to get a Wolf driving a semi (hmm... Connection?) which crashed into the steeple of the burnt church which created the horn blow. After a minute, he was able to shut the horn off. Then Dianna showed up. She stayed in the truck. After almost an hour of battles between the wolves and the Alexandrians, they won. When Morgan went to go home, the head Wolf was in his house. He knocked him out and the episode cut to black. 

In episode three, we saw the remaining group on their way back to Alexandria. Rick splits to get back to the RV to help lead some of the broke away walkers back on the road while Michonne, Glenn, Nicholas, Heath and a few other Alexandrians make their way back through a  shortcut. But, they ended getting caught by the herds. Fortunately, they were in a building (at that time) so then Nicholas and Glenn head out on a mission only to be caught by the herds. What does Nicholas do? One of the stupidest moves ever on the show... He shot himself in the head, falling on Glenn and leaving many fans wondering if he too got torn apart by walkers... Rick got to the RV but was ambushed by Wolves who shot up the RV. Rick killed them all but the RV wouldn't start as the walker horde swarmed in...

Episode four was a slower pace episode, Morgan's backstory after Morgan left Atlanta. He met up with a man named Eastman, 'The Cheese Man' who helped him regain his humanity after the incident while looking for weapons (season 3). Come to find out, it was for the Wolf. Back in season 5 (either episode 15 or 16), when the Wolf approached him and wanted everything he had. He gave it to him. 

Episode five opened up with Dianna listening to Michonne talking when she caught a glimpse of something. Rick. They let him in, gather a plan together to fight off the walkers while Spencer decides to risk his life to lead the walking corpses away from the Alexandrian gates. He falls from his wire and Rick, Morgan and one other helps him. After that, all calmed down... For the time being.

Episode six was a Daryl, Sasha, and Abraham episode. They were miles from the designated drop spot and made the turn to head back to Alexandria when they got shot up. Daryl ducked and took a sliding stop while Abe and Sasha took after one of the cars. Daryl was able to sneak by and get into a forest, but he was injured and bleeding, probably from a flesh wound from a bullet. He ended up getting caught and tied up by a blonde guy, a red head and a short haired girl (later to be named Dwight and Honey). After a bout between the three, he escaped but helped them when people hunted them down only to get his bike and crossbow stolen. While Abe and Sasha are waiting for Daryl to come back, they hold up in a building. Abraham finds an RPG with three unloaded heads. Daryl goes back the way he came and discovers what his captors were talking about when they said "Patty" a fuel truck. He drives it back to where Sasha and Abe are waiting then the head home when they hear a distress signal over the radio calling for help.

In episode seven, we saw what happened to Glenn. With a miracle, Glenn was able to pull himself from the walker most pit and hide under a dumpster. Enid slipped out in episode two and was making her way to Glenn. Well, she found him. They worked their way back to Alexandria. Rick, Tobin, and a few others were building up the slab of the wall to help defend the walkers outside plus the slowly caving in the steeple. Just as Glenn sent up his signal to Maggie and Rick, the steeple came crashing down, and walkers began to pile in...

In the midseason finale, we saw as the wall fell and the horde that once surrounded Alexandria now engulfed the safe zone. People ran for their homes, and some took cover in houses that were close. Rick, Dianna, Michonne, Jessie, Ron, Sam, Carl and Judith held up in Jessie's home. They discovered Dianna was bitten. They gathered a plan as other did as well. Eugene, Denise, Tara and Rosita were in a garage while Morgan and Carol were held up in his brownstone.  Rick and the others fought off the walkers that broke into the house. They blocked off the main level. They kill walkers, cover themselves with the gunk to hide their scent and sneak out into the thousands of walkers... Then Sam says 'Mom...' I mean, really kid? It's the fricken apocalypse... 

In The Walking Dead midseason a sneak peek clip, we saw Daryl, Sasha, and Abraham in the gas truck. But they ran into a problem... 8 men on motorcycles sat waiting, armed to the t, stopping them. Come to find out; they were the first of Negan's men known only as... The Saviors. And they had come to take everything they had. 

In the midseason premiere, we started where we left off with Daryl, Sasha, and Abe being held up by some of Negan's men. One of them makes another take Daryl to the back to search for everything they have. While doing so, the head guy in this scenario tries to give Sasha and Abe a scare and almost shoots them when a ball of fire engulfs the bikers and blows them to bits. Back at Alexandria, the group walks through the most pit of the dead. Rick pulls them aside because he realizes that the first plan is too risky. So Father Gabriel takes Judith, and they go back to the church to hide. Rick and the others go on, but Sam freaks out and gets attacked, then Jessie follows. Ron was about to kill Rick when Michonne stabs him. Ron pops off a shot and in the trajectory of Carl. Carl got shot in the eye. Rick picks him up and runs him to the makeshift infirmary inside of Denise's home. She works on him while Rick grabs his one and only Red Handled Hatchet. Be goes on a killing spree. Then others join in and before you know it, as many as 15 people are hacking down walker after walker, corpse after corpse before Abe, Daryl and Sasha show up, not only saving Glenn's life (he was being swarmed by walkers) but the whole Alexandria community. They back 'Patty' up and drain her into the lake then Daryl lights the water on the fire and the walkers go to it, burning to nothing. At the end of the episode, Carl is in a bed, recovering, Rick by his side. His hand moves after a touching moment. He'd be okay.

In episode ten, Rick and Daryl go on a run, Eugene mapping out the areas they should check. Shortly on the run, they find a truck full of goods. They stash the rig and drive it home. But they stop. Daryl finds 'The doctor's order' orange soda. But they're ambushed by a guy named Paul Rovia, "but his friends called him Jesus." He tricks them and takes the truck. They find him, tie him up and leave him, but he's on the roof. They tangle with him; he almost steals the truck again before Daryl gets him, accidently knocking him out and the truck rolling into a lake... Whoops... Rick convinces Daryl to play nice, so they tie him up and bring him home to Denise then Morgan's home. Then... Michonne and Rick get intimate. Ooh! Richonne became a thing.

Episode eleven is where we met The Hilltop. Jesus told Rick, Daryl, Michonne and a few others that they traded with other communities for goods and other things as well, Rick and the group were intrigued by the idea of more people, so they put a plan together to go to the Hilltop with Jesus. But along the way, they ran into a car wreck. Rick, being the way he is, thought it could be a setup. It turned out not to be, and they saved three or four Hilltop members, a doctor included. Upon the meet with Gregory, Hilltops' leader, Maggie was the chosen spokesperson. When things didn't go Gregory's way, our survivors were going to leave. But an unexpected fight between a member of Hilltop and Gregory caused a fight to happen after Gregory is stabbed. Maggie then precedes to make a deal with Gregory for protection against the Saviors... bad choice... They agree to give the Alexandrians half of their food in return for protection. In the end, big mistake. Maggie and Glenn saw their baby for the first time, and they were nothing but relieved smiles.

Episode twelve was strictly business. They had one mission in mind; get back the missing member of the Hilltop and take out the Saviors' compound. They did just that. Everything was going great until a savior came out of his bunk room and got the temporary drops on Abraham. Sasha had him covered, and this started a war that, in the end, our survivors won. Tara and Heath left for their medicine and supply run. One of the saviors attempted to escape on Daryl's bike, but Daryl tackled him and beat the ever-loving snot out of him. Then, the radio sounded... Carol and Maggie were captured. 

Episode thirteen showed how Maggie and Carol got captured, held hostage and almost killed. Carol, going through some weird moral crisis, pleaded for them not to get hurt, for any of them to harm her and especially Maggie. But Carol pulled it out, killed them all, Maggie killed the one that sliced her belly with a walker then the others were incinerated. Rick and the others came to the aid of Carol and Maggie and took them home.

Episode fourteen Daryl got roped into going on a medicine run with Denise and Rosita. Come to find out, Denise and Daryl had quite a few similarities including their brothers'. While on their run, Abe and Eugene went on a run of their own. Eugene had found a place suitable for making ammunition. But, they got in a fight and the two parted ways. That made his grumpy self-feel something he hadn't in a while. After the run, they were on their way back when Denise found a cooler, but a walker was in her way. Damned if she wasn't going to get that cooler, but she paid for it in the end... While giving a well-needed speech (in my opinion), Denise took an arrow through the eye, the blonde man from the burnt forest (Dwight) behind the bow. Daryl's bow. They stood toe to toe, firearm to firearm. Then, Eugene came into the picture... He knelt in front of 'D...or Dwight.' Whichever they liked better. After bullets had flown and wounds were made, they went home, the Saviors receded and went back. Eugene caught a bullet, but he'd be okay. Daryl and Carol buried Denise. Then in the middle of the night, Carol left Alexandria.

Episode fifteen is when they figured out Carol left. Tobin told Rick that she'd left sometime during the night.  One of the front cars was missing. Then Daryl jets off.  But he tells Rosita at the gate. Glenn and Michonne get in a van then Rosita hops in with them. They jet off after him. Then Rick and Morgan go off to find Carol. Carol kills a truckload of Saviors except for one which tracks her down and tries to kill her. Morgan and Rick track her for a while, but Rick needs to head back for the trip to the compound tomorrow. When Morgan finds Carol, the guy that she didn't kill was shooting her, slowly killing her. Morgan kills the guy, saving Carol. Back at Alexandria, Maggie cut her hair then suddenly has a severe pain in her belly. She goes down. Glenn, Michonne, and Rosita meet up with Daryl and try to convince him to go back. But he can't. His conscience won't allow him. I can't say I blame him, I mean the man just watched yet another person he cared for be killed in front of his eyes. He's been through so much. Rosita knows he's right, so she goes with him. Glenn and Michonne were headed back when they were surrounded by Dwight and more Saviors...Daryl and Rosita must have been close because they tracked them down but what happened next... Oh, my God. Dwight snuck up on them and shot Daryl...

On the season six finale so much happened... Because Maggie had an accident, they had to make a stop at the Hilltop to make sure Maggie was medically cared for. After all, it was something to do with the baby... So they packed up the RV, Abe, Sasha, Eugene, Carl, and Aaron hit the road with them. But each attempt came up useless as they were continually blocked by Negan's men. I believe after five attempts; they decided to do a sneaky peak and send Eugene down the road in the RV, and they would carry Maggie through the woods on the stretcher. Vital mistake... The Saviors ended up trapping them in a pit of their people, surrounding them... Making them feel small, inferior and Stupid. They had Eugene already knelt, made everyone else kneel and brought Glenn, Daryl, Michonne and Rosita to the lineup. Then, Negan arrived... After laying down the law on who was now in order, he chose who he was to "Lucille" through a game of "eeny meany mini moe." Then, he brought down the bat. And the camera went to blank...

We only have says that remain... So who will it be? We will find out Sunday at 9 p.m.

#TheWalkingDead Death Prediction Part 4; Glenn, Abe and Maggie

April 3rd, 2016 Well, we have reached my fourth and final death prediction... But it has a twist. It involves two characters and two different scenarios. So let's begin, shall we? My first two character scenario is Glenn and Abraham. This, like many people, have speculated, is very possible. Glenn and Abraham had gotten close after the whole "Washington DC" ordeal after Glenn refused to leave his people and after Abe vowed his loyalty to the group. After Abraham's breakup with Rosita, he was kind of regretting things, in my opinion, as far as causing so much grief. He felt bad so he lashed out (I think) at Rosita, and that's why he left the way he did. But my main reason for thinking it's Glenn and Abraham is this; After they had their spat, Abe and Glenn had gotten close. Closefriends I guess you could say. And after Glenn said, "Are you with us?" I think that changed Abe's views on Rick's group. Before, I think he though that they were in his way. Well, they're family now. And he'll do anything to protect his family. Same as Glenn... This is how Ithink it may happen: Glenn is brought to Negan by being either kicked or drug. As Negan brings Lucille down, Abraham rises and attempts to attack Negan, but Dwight or one of the other Saviors is at the ready, and either grabs him or shoots him -none fatal. Negan commences to beating 'the holy hell' out of them both, leaving them all terrified, sickened and afraid. This would impact the fan base, the character, basically, anyone who watches the show if you think about it. No one would really ever see something like that coming. And it would leave everyone broken. Here is my next death scenario theory: Maggie and Glenn. Glenn already attempted to save Maggie once, but Negan threatened to kill her if he or anyone moved again. But what if Glenn was the one to getLucille'd and then Maggie tried to come to his defense... Many have rumored that Maggie was heard yelling Glenn's name after that first blow hit the victim. Many have slowed it down to 1/100th of a second, and it does sound like a female crying out 'GLENN.' If this is true, this is what could happen; As Negan brings down the baton Glenn's head, Maggie could cry out and stumble to Glenn, attempting to stop Negan. Now, I'm sure many won't believe this or support this theory because Maggie was barely able to stay conscious, but love, fear, and adrenaline can make you do crazy things. But I will continue; after she gets to Glenn and Negan, she either begs for him to stop or tries to fight him and in the end, Negan kills them both... These are just hunches, guys! So no, they are not spoilers. They could potentially turn into spoilers, but as of right now, they are not. Only pure guesses and theories based on my thoughts. Let me know what you're predictions are in the comments below! But as always, we won't know who really dies until the 23rd of October. So until next time, be safe everyone. Editor: Joeleen Gatlin

#TheWalkingDead Death Prediction Part 3; Sgt. Abraham Ford

April 3rd, 2016 My third death prediction would be Sergeant Abraham Ford. Ah yes, the big red ginger with the handlebar mustache and the catchy catchphrases. Here's why I think he may be next: Given the circumstances, what is his need on the show, anymore? He's a rather liked character, and some could say a top five fan favorite. But maybe not enough to make AMC kill him off. He's a very likable character if you can get through the buttheaded sarcasm personality. He's a rather cool guy, but there are some tale tale sign that he could be Lucille's victim; just like Lauren Cohan and Steven Yeun, Michael Cudlitz has not been seen on set since the premiere episode of season 7 has been confirmed filmed. Many have rumored to see him once it twice, but that's it. No one has snapped photos of the ginger since. In most recent events In the show, Doctor Denise Cloyd took Abraham's death by an arrow in the eye by Dwight stealing Daryl's crossbow. In the comics, that was Abraham. Another point is Abraham is caught in a love triangle with Sasha and Rosita (both of which are lined up kneeling before Negan). He told Rosita that the only reason he was with her was because he thought there were no more women left. Well, when he got close with Sasha, things began to fade between him and Rosita. And, as we've seen on the show, romances rarely last on the screen, so maybe someone is going to have to be taken out from that equation. In the season 6 finale, "Last Day On Earth" upon kneeling for Negan, Abraham suggested that he was ready to go. As Negan walked by, Abraham rose, and Negan caught it. Maybe this is another fact pointing to Abraham's ultimate demise... But, we won't know who really dies until the 23rd of October. So until next time, be safe everyone. Editor: Joeleen Gatlin

#TheWalkingDead Death Prediction Part 2 Maggie Greene

April 3rd, 2016

My second death prediction is Maggie Greene. Not too many factors point to her, but I have a sneaky suspicion that she could be Negan's victim in the season 7 premiere. In the season 6 finale, as you may recall Maggie had become ill, and it was something to do with the baby. In Episode 15, "East," we saw when Maggie collapsed after she had gotten a haircut from Enid. But what happened? Nobody knows, really. In a recent interview, Director and head zombie maker Greg Nicotero accidently let something slip about not one death, but two; "If we would have shown the deaths, then they wouldn't have felt our characters in season 7 the way they need to."  Hmm... you caught that, right? Of course, the man was smart enough to cover his slip up; " Listen, it was the hardest two weeks of my life. You take these actors, and you drag them. You illicit the deepest darkest fears they've ever had because our actors, they're fucking in it. So you spend two weeks taking them to this place, and it's horrific." So, if this is, in fact, a reference to Maggie, that would mean the unborn child as well. But could Negan really kill a woman? Some say no but Negan has never shied away from killing women. He's just against rape. So perhaps Negan may kill Maggie in the season 7 premiere... A few other things may also point to the fact that Maggie may have been killed by Negan; since the season 7 premiere was confirmed filmed, she has not been seen on sets, such as Michael Cudlitz and Steven Yeun (that will be addressed in my next prediction). Also, many have though that if it is Maggie, perhaps Negan gave it away when he said "You look shitty. Maybe I should just put you out if your misery right now!" Maybe that was a key factor in a 'death hint." But, we won't exactly know who truly dies until the 23rd of October. So until next time, stay safe everyone. Editor: Joeleen Gatlin

#TheWalkingDead Death Prediction Part 1; Glenn Rhee

April 3rd, 2016 The Walking Dead has left us with one of the BIGGESTcliffhanger in the show's history. But they also made history. The debut of Negan was a long awaited, highly anticipated, gut wrenching showcase of the well known villain from the comics. And did they deliver? Yes sir they did! But the finale left many fans with anger, grief and some may even say anxiety of who got the better end of "Lucille", Negan's barbed wir wrapped bat. Below I will list a few reasons why I think it may have been Glenn.

My first death prediction for Lucille's victim is Glenn. Why? The main reason is obvious. It would follow his comic book death for one, and two he has no more story line. AMC has currently brought on too many main characters for their budget. So they're going to have to cut at least one. Glenn Rhee aka Steven Yeun has been with the show since its start in 2010. Granted, his pay isn't like Andrew Lincoln's or Norman Reedus', but his pay is still high. Roughly, Steven Yeun is being paid around $42,000 per episode. So a budget cut would be in the varying factors. Another factor would be, as I said before, his comic book line. Granted, a few have gone on since their character deaths were met in the comic books (Abraham, Carol, etc.) In the comics, Glenn met his inevitable death at the hand of Negan and Lucille when they met. So, why not in the show? He would be on my hot list for characters to be the victim. Now granted, some characters have taken others deaths in most recent events, Denise took Abraham's death but I'm not too sure about this one. The only one that I think MAYBE would be able to take his spot is Maggie. That will be later. If you think about it, there is no more need for Glenn. He has been a big deal since the start of the show but in the recent season, he hasn't been a big deal. He's become like a lot of the characters in the show, they come and slowly begin to fade away. He has been a huge fan favorite and it would impact the fan base and it would rock everyone on the show. It would be a big ordeal so if you think about it, it would be a good choice if they did choose him over the others. But, we still have 26 days to go. We won't truly know until October 23rd, so keep the guessing game up. Until next time, stay safe. Have a good time. And remember, Walking Dead On! Editor: Joeleen Gatlin

#TheWalkingDead What To Expect Plus New Developments And More!

With the highly anticipated Season 7 premiere of The Walking Dead only 40 days away, we now should really begin to ask ourselves; what truly lies ahead?

Last season we saw, experienced and battled our way with the Survivors through hordes of Walkers, Wolves and death but now comes the biggest battle yet; All Out War.

The New Man is here! Negan. It's a bitter name on the tongue, I know, but I have a feeling there will be more than meets the eye with this new guy. He's mean, gritty, but the man has an understanding side to him. But, as he's made it clear, it's His World.  

Throughout the off season, many rumors have surfaced about who's gotten the title 'Lucileld' . Daryl was on the hot list because of what he did to the group of saviors on the road back on episode 9 of season 6 'No Way Out'. Many have rumored that Glenn will meet his inevitable death following his comic book death. Others have speculated Abraham because his death was taken by Denise back in episode 14 'Twice As Far' therefore ending his character role. But, we know how AMC can be. Rosita, Michonne, Eugene, and Aaron have all been speculated as well but I personally believe that they're the least likely. Along with Rick and Carl. That leaves one person out... Maggie. 

In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Exclusive Producer Greg Nicotero may have confirmed one of many questions we fans have been wondering about... a second death at the hand, or rather not so friendly end of Lucille.  

 "If we would have shown the deaths, then they wouldn't have felt our characters in season 7 the way they need to."   Hmm... you caught that, right? 

Of course, the man was smart enough to cover his slip up; 

" Listen, it was the hardest two weeks of my life. You take these actors and you drag them. You illicit the deepest  darkest fears they've ever had because our actors, they're fucking in it. So you spend two weeks taking them to this place and it's horrific." So, if this is in fact a reference to Maggie, that would mean the unborn child as well. But could Negan really kill a woman?

Still so many questions still remain. But soon enough, they will be answered. October 23rd cannot get here faster but until then, we will sit back and enjoy the hype.
