OK, besides all the 'Love Boat' stuff,

I hope Maggie will give Lance a good horrible death. Lance does in ZA what he did in pre-ZA, running a ring of spies and assassins and making secret arms and drug deals. He even dares to mess with Hershel.

The starter relay plot is a good one. I bet it is Daryl's idea.

BTW, Maggie said something like ''many people made the mistake to threaten my family and most of them are dead''. Note only ''most of them'' but not ''all of them''. Is she hinting that a bad man who not only threatened but actually killed her husband is still alive?

I wonder what Leah was doing all along. I mean, she stole the guns. But then, she put the wagon near the Riverbend. Obviously she wanted to lead the CW to the Riverbend group. I wonder, if this is just a coincidence or a deliberate move to try to make a war between CW and Riverbend? She might notice Negan is living there and so she wanted to drag TF into a war with CW. I mean, she knows she cannot eliminate TF all by herself and so she is trying to get the CW to her dirty job? Or, maybe, I am thinking too much into this.

 

Funniest moments in this episode for me were:

1. The storm troopers placing down little numbers outside the apartment building as if it's a crime scene. (Are the writers even trying anymore? lol) I was waiting for Dexter to show up to do a blood spatter investigation.

2. Amidst all of the carnage, suit dude finds a baseball cap that interests him. He picks it up and brings it to Hilltop and presents it to Hershel.

3. The final line of the episode, from suit dude to Leah, "I have a job for you."

I'm sure things at the Commonwealth deserve to make the list but I fast forwarded through most of that. Just watched a little of Orange Storm Trooper and Ezekiel.

 

I liked this episode too, especially the Love Boat moments

Favorite line for me? Carol saying to Zeke, “This doesn’t mean we’re getting back together”, lol They really are good for each other. If we didn’t know she was going to wander off with Daryl in a sequel I would love to see them get back together.

I like Mercer and Princess together and naturally I’m pleased Eugene finally found the girl of his dreams.

I thought the Lance and the baseball cap incident to be ludicrous. I agree that it seems unlikely that with all the carnage, and all the clothing people who were living there were wearing, (didn’t they enter the secret hiding room through a closet opening hidden by clothes?) that must have been strewn around, that this one particular cap would have caught Lance’s eye? Does Herschel wear that cap all the time? Would Lance have remembered him wearing it? Not particularly unique with say, a team logo on it or anything. Dunno. All it served to do was give Lance an excuse to eliminate Hillside.

So Lance tracked down Leah and offers her a job. Of course she’ll take it of it’s to Kill Maggie and wipe out Hillside. Now the plot looks to be getting interesting but I’ll wager on TF, thank you very much. I think the kill is going to go to Daryl which has the potential to be a tear jerker. Is it too much to ask that Lance bites it in the process?

 

I thought the episode was okay. I agree with the whole ‘marking the shell casings’, as if they were forensic scientists. Lol

My favorite line - when Daryl f bombed Lance. Now that was realistic.
7/10


The truth is out there

 

Where did Leah find her supply of hair dye to keep her hair blond?

 

I think Princess is faking it both in and out of the bedroom.

 

I honestly tried to go back and rewatch some episodes last weekend. Instead of fast forwarding though I decided to skip to the next episode if too much of the episode I was watching had bad lighting (I will only put up with bad lighting on real low budget stuff where I know they don't have much money to work with). I had skipped all the way to episode 11/6 and just gave up as I figured then that all the episodes were going to be this way.

 

I’d have to go back and rewatch but was Herschel even around when Lance first came to the Hillside? How many times would he have come into contact with the kid? Maggie’s very protective. I will say however, that if Lance was a CIA operative prior to the ZA his powers of observation might be more acute than most. Let’s hope he’s a little rusty now that he’s been desk side all these years.

Of course, it has to be Daryl. If he realizes it’s Leah he’ll want to talk to her first but in the end he’ll be the one to have to put her down to save TF. It’s heartbreaking because he did have feelings for her. I hope it’s Maggie who gets the kill with Lance.

 

Oh, dear. That’ll won’t be until Sun. Or Monday. If you ever feel the urge you can pm me with spoilers. Love the spoilers, lol.

 

Won’t lie, I’m really intrigued now! Can’t wait to see how it all rolls out.
