Someone tell me why Otto is out there driving randomly by the border, probably close to where the outpost Troy was in? Also why he just had to go "You're brown" to force some kind of evil over the bad white man stereotype while the Indians still was "My heritage and we will purge all whiteys" and scalped people...

Beside that, the whole thing felt forced. Why would they even let Ofelia in the kitchen? Good job Madison, looking after her.

Also the Huey? Come on, that army mechanic must have magical powers. A crashed helicopter is not something you just repair this easily.

How have they survived so long without walls? Where did the Indians get the weapons? Humvees? Seemingly we are supposed to feel sorry for them when they scalp people alive, threaten to feed "Living?) people to the pigs and burn people alive. We are supposed to somehow feel sympathy for them more than Otto who is portrayed as such a evil man. Otto is less evil than The Governor, Gareth of Terminus or Negan.

The ranch did have a fence, active guards and a ravine. The wall less Black Hat outpost who was "supposedly" so well protected managed to have the ranchers sneak in twice without notice. Why not just blow all of it up from the inside with dynamite? Oh right, plot point and plot armour to not have it so. Madison losing her cool suddenly to save Alicia, ****ing it all up. Also the whole "we can have peace" kinda dies out when Walker speaks of "3 down, 1 to go". Yeah, that sounds like peace talks, Jake and Alicia. You dumb frickle cucumbers. This also means that had Troy not taken out the family, Walker would have with his vengeance talk about his criminal family who did raids on Ottos land and got shot. I mean, this is America, you have guns and you have t he right to use them on invasive people right?

Also, where did all of the ranch militia go? It felt like they presented them like a force to be reckoned with and the losses they took against the Mexicans looking for help and later on from other parts was shrugged off but suddenly there is barely about what..15-20 of them?

I really liked this season to start with but killing of Travis like that...then throw us this forced ending. Have you people also seen the trailer for episode 9? The Indians move in and there is litterally and army of them t hat could have rivaled Negan or atleast Rick-Hilltop-Kingdoms army. Are we somehow to believe that the militia of The Ranch was to be able to take these magical Indians out who somehow got American Humvees, repaired a derelect Huey and had another one just laying around.

Also for lacking water, they seemed to be in perfect physical condition all of them.

I think they attempted to make the two sides look neutral but I still somehow end up finding it very odd how the kids and others almost stood on the side of the Indians. They killed Travis.

The whole idiot plan of stealing Walkers heirlooms and relics was also insane. What would you do? Hold them hostage? Give them back and later have him attack anyway? Also why did not the Ranchers just start to build up a inner "fort" around the bunker which had food and guns for an medium size town police force or national guard? Here comes the water in, it was given by dumb arse Jake just so that they could not do a hold out siege against the Black Hat Indians who now had all the water in the world cause this dumb arse of a son to Otto gave all the water away (which was not much considering the enormous size of the bunker storage!

And now when the Indians move in, whats the whole idea here? Two groups, hating each others, living together? Not even Negan is this crazy. Keep your enemy close...but come on. Also Madisons powerplay, just gave Walker this whole region and she is just siting there with her kids.

I like Walker and Otto as characters, but I much more would have loved to have the two communities alive, both of them living and leading, forced to cooperate in a dying world where the undying wanders. It would been much more interesting of a plot to have these two far opposite sides support each others, overcoming the hate, the lack of trust eventually as other much more evil groups drop by. Groups like Negans type. But no, we get the crazy indian Walker who scalps and keeps going on about his land that they sold to Ottos ancestors and the wacko survivor prepper gang who shot up the father of the Indians and hates brown people. Stereotypical and boring.

 

Beside that, this half season was top notch. Only boring part was Alicia and Jake to. And the stereotypical personalities of the Ranch owners and the Indians.

 

True, sharing would probably happen since an all out war would cost to much for both communities!

I think there could be fun scenarios where they have to coexist and work together to fight something like a much worse group than both indians and prepper folks. It would been interesting to see them overcome their differences and bad blood in their history!

 

I still do not think it adds up that Otto is just out there at the border, alone. Iut just feels forced to try to make him look evil. But knowing other evils in The Walking Dead it just make him look wimpy. Even Daniel Salazar or Strand has more evil streak in them with how they think than Otto who just seems to be a remorse full old drunkard prepper with a ranch and old way of thinking. He got nothing on The Governor, Terminus, Negan or even the Mexican mayor who controlled the water supply.

Hell I even think Walker is more twisted and hard to read than Otto with his crazy son and wimpy useless son.

 

That be cool! Haha We all know Salazar is calculating and do things for a reason to unlike some others like Negan and many other villians!

 

I found that part to be bit silly, both sides are equally bad. Ottos "But you're brown!" was a really weird forced thing to say to Ofelia. Especially when Travis was welcomed to the ranch by his sons before being killed...BY THE INDIANS. Which Madison seems to forget at the moment. Also how "Ofelia" thought they be "fine" as she took the car and drove off.
