Another great episode , it's clear they are building backgrounds to all these small groups under the bat , at some point these join together under Ricks leadership and kick the Saviours arse .
On another note , why are people watching it if bored , are they dim?
If they're foolish enough to follow Rick again they deserve a bat to the skullOn another note , why are people watching it if bored , are they dim?

I'm not bored I love the show, the particular episode I found boring but again necessary. On another note , why are people watching it if bored , are they dim?
I'm not sure it'll be under anyone in particular's leadership, rather a joining of forces to eradicate the problem to try to establish calm between the remaining groups. Although someone's got to deliver rousing speeches, Ezekiel would be good for that with his showmanship.

Except that Ezekiel is keeping Negan's hold over him a secret from his community. Once they find out that he kow-towed to Negan, he potentially loses some of his authority.superkartracer said:

I cant sleep when I come in late from football. That's pretty much the only reason I've stuck with this as theres little else on at 11pm. I like the idea of another tribe, but do we have to focus the whole episode on this. 5 minutes here, right back to camp, five minutes there, etc.
Lets be honest. Its not fast paced is it.

What was the significance of Tera's Roman Numeral tattoo on her arm?
Tara's tattoo ideas, number 4 - http://moviepilot.com/p/the-walking-dead-season-se...D-Angle said:
I think they might be establishing a few storylines in different locations, which they can then swap between in future episodes, Game of Thrones style.
They're certainly piling in the new characters this series. Perhaps Rick won't get from under this year? He's not much use to the story at the moment, Maybe Alexandria falls, 'Ricks Crew' get broken up and scatters, some to Oceanside, some to King Tiger whatshisname and Rick ends up at the end of a bat. Maybe he'll take Coral will him, no loss there.

So in the 2 weeks they were gone since the outpost, Negan killed all their men, then they all fecked off to Oceanside and set that whole place up? And Negan didn't take their guns
You're confused. The 2 weeks since Tara went scavenging, Alexandria attacking the outpost and then falling foul of Negan, has no connection to the Oceanside. The Oceanside must have lived under Negan's yoke for months in a different community, had their men killed and set up again a long time before Alexandria ever came across the Saviours. I think think that the point they are trying to make is that the Saviours have been around for a long time and their reaches stretches far. First it was just the Hilltop, then the Satellite outpost, then the Kingdom, then Negan/Saviours. The suggestion is that there are probably a lot more communities that are under the control of the Saviours. This suggest that they are far more powerful than at first appears.However, as has been said, if Tara had been scavenging for 2 weeks, she didn't appear to have gone very far! Given that she was able to walk back to Alexandria in a couple of days. Which begs the other question (as has also been said), why haven't the Oceanside community moved a LOT farther away from the Saviours? Maybe Tara & Heath did travel a long way in 2 weeks but it was a circular route, which was why she was only a couple of days walk away from Alexandria? But then that means that the Oceanside have barely made any effect to move away from the Saviours. Or, T&H DID travel a long way, Oceanside IS a long way from the Saviours but then that can only mean that Tara had to walk for many days to get back to Alexandria.
If Tara can stroll back Alexandria, over many days, then the world doesn't appear to be very dangerous or demanding anymore...
Even more questionable, is the fact that Tara would choose to leave lesbian paradise!
It appears that they are setting up a finale showdown with Negan by introducing as many characters who have a personal reason to kill Negan, which seems more likely than a confederation of communities destroying the Saviours. I can see the series ending with Negan's death and a big whodunnit.

the Oceanside women knew about the Satellite station attacks, and I got the impression that was the reason Negan killed all their men? no?
No, the Oceanside women knew about the Satellite station. There was no suggestion that they knew that they had been killed until Tara told them and nothing was inferred by their dialogue that suggested that the Alexandria attack on the Satellite station had anything to do with Negan killing their men. Remember that they are supposed to be hiding and kill all strangers on sight. So it would seem improbable that news would have carried to them that the Satellite station had been attacked.That was my understanding anyway.

her name is Tara, mentioned several times. I also highly doubt we won't see that new community again. Still, don't let that get in the way of a rant

Also the ratings have plummeted now and "only" seeing 11m viewers in the US. Which is the lowest since Season 3. 11m is still huge though so plenty of life left in this series. Once Negan gets knocked out of the way, what next for the series. Surely it's not a case of going bigger or go home, AGAIN? The writers in my view need a new type of story-arc - get away from the rinse-and-repeat prisons, terminus', alexandria's and woodbury's - and find something more interesting!

I'm still watching more because I have started and want to know what happens, I wouldn't get into this if I wasn't already a viewer.
I think the problem is that Jeffrey Dean Morgan is doing too good a job as Negan. He is an out and out, shameless bully, and he's getting away with it. That is extremely uncomfortable to watch.
Yeah, he's good! At being bad, and that's good...erm, or bad...I think the problem is that Jeffrey Dean Morgan is doing too good a job as Negan. He is an out and out, shameless bully, and he's getting away with it. That is extremely uncomfortable to watch.
