And I felt like Maggie's lack of closure with Negan probably helped her act so hastily with Gregory. A bit of vengeance by proxy. I don't think it will help excise the Negan shaped tumor in her heart thought.

 

Glad to see Gregory get his but a hanging? really? I dunno just seemed weird and out of character. Just shoot the ahole in the head and be done with it. The repercussions from it though will make a great story line for I am sure there will be some.

 

He had it coming, given that he has tried 3 times to screw them over. 3 strikes and you're out!

 

They should have just cast him out like they used to I think?

Doubtful that worm could get any real help outside.

But yeah I think the whole idea is cause and effect,crime & punishment,Law & Order like everyone seemed to talk about in this episode in some way or another.

And not exactly Dick Wolfe style either!

 

I don't think it was a good idea to do it in front of everyone, that simply sets the stage for more "eye for eye" punishments to come... Meaning now folks at the Hilltop realize that it's all right to do this kind of thing to someone who wrongs you, and maybe not but I also believe this isn't the end of that.

On another note...
I wonder if Gregory crapped his pants, because most people getting hanged do so, usually right as their neck snaps. Why I thought of this I could not tell you but it's exactly the thought that crossed my mind as the horse took off, I remember feeling mildly disappointed that they did not focus in on this particular aspect of being hung to death lol

 

He wasn't worth wasting a bullet on. This showed there will be no tolerance for that behavior. He deserved what he got. He couldn't be trusted. He manipulated someone to try to kill her. He was willing to have her killed in front of her son. He deserved it.

 

Worse still he manipulated someone who may end up suffering long term from the effects, if Earl really was a teetotaler he may now have trouble controlling his alcohol consumption.
