Apparently its mid season finale tonight, so the usual unresolved cliffhangers left in the lurch probably...

I try to switch off before trailers - coz they invariably destroy any tension set up by the finale.
Spoilers.
As ive said before Joan the one thing that bugs me in all these long-standing dramas is how the scriptwriters conveniently alter someone's personality or judgment just to get them in a scrape.
All of our group are battle-hardened vets in this crazy dangerous world - and theyve seen pals die from being careless. Careless costs lives. So they go into alphaland expecting a trap, they find no walkers and then they see alpha - what does Carole do? Proven over 8-9 seasons to be one of the shrewdest no-nonsense sharpest leaders in the group? Go charging after her. Its all bollocks. Someone as shrewd as carole - however emotional - wouldnt do anything as dumb as that.
There is always some license, ok, but established characters doing barking mad things just to get in a scrape is bullshit. We had it not so long ago with Rick and Daryl having a fight in walker territory and ending in a ditch.
As you say the opening of the episode was great. There was something always not right about Dante - too creepily ingratiating. Obviously done deliberately. I think the moment he bragged they wouldnt do anything to him meant a character you wouldnt expect was going to kill him. And when gabriel turned up at the cell, you knew what was coming. About time that useless tosser did something right! Ha ha.

Read it now.
Negan defo working the camp from within.
He is "picking off the suckers" - stitching up gamma to get closer to alpha. He will make his move when theyve stretched out the series long enough.
Again what we said about changing characters personalities just to get them into scrapes. The Carolbot has been going on the clonk for a while now, plenty warnings in this episode. Not content with getting them in that situation in the caves in the first place she then exacerbates it with the dynamite. And then once rescued, tries again. The carol of the previous 9 seasons wouldnt do this. Shes cold, calculating, and has sharp, reliable judgment. But they suddenly make her a hothead liability? Sorry that dog dont hunt.

I agree that negan is biding his time.
I think you are right, something or someone will arrive to rout the horde - or rain will put out the fires!
To be honest it was a long hour getting to the finale - too much filler and build up. But once one section of their brushwood barrier spattered with gasoline caught fire, the rest wouldve and would have burned the walkers. But it didnt.
And when the whisperers fired burning arrows no way would it have set up a wall of flame that fast. It seemed very contrived.

Thor, i agree with the sentiment but lets be fair, they never wrap up anything anytime soon do they?

Getting very bored with whisperers now. When are our humans going to realise that the only weapon the whisperers have is dressing up as walkers n controlling herd- so when Daryl, carole et al all dress up as walkers and turn the tables, its no longer a weapon.

Yes that was just a bit of set up for tension which didnt make sense.
The aplha moment reminded me of Joe Pesci being made and arriving to an empty room...
Im with joan, she shouldve had her throat cut purely for endless overacting and that annoying way of speaking. Ha ha 
Question, dunno his name but ex negan man with baby, why didnt he put an arrow thru big guys head and not the walker aunt? Couldve killed her anyway anytime yet big man is known leader of opposition but he let him live?.
The only worry now is that negan might be playing a double bluff and working for his own end?
I did laugh at the bit where negan tried to get the walker to follow him and the thing is going in circles and each time he walked past behind his back negan's shoulders are sighing with frustration ...and then he just says To hell with this and clubs it!! Maugh me laugh out loud and lately that dont happen much.
