Ain’t that the truth!! I loved it. The mowing down of the zombies was awesome. The end has me wondering who the newbies are. It wasn’t all females, so unless the Amazons hooked up with another party it is either the Kingdom or some other new group.
I rewatched the end of the episode and concluded the newbies are not the women from the episode where Tara washed up on the beach. These are brand new people, and they have a strange look about them, lots of hoodies too. During the credits one of them is talking to Rick and says something like “We own your lives, but you have a chance to buy them back”. That might explain why the priest stole all the food, possibly to buy back his life at the expense of all the rest, but he left that clue for everyone to follow him to the boat. And that may have been part of his deal. Wow, what a traitor, so much that I find it hard to believe, there might be another angle yet to be seen.
The best course for Rick is to one up the priest and tell the newbies about Negan. Rick’s group has nothing but oh that Negan has lot’s of stuff, so you guys all go attack Negan and get a huge load of stuff. That would solve two problems at once. If that happens I would expect Negan to win the battle but be very much weakened.
And there was a clip for the next episode during the Talking Dead (which I very much enjoy) where there is a confrontation between the Saviors and the Kingdom with the King present.
Oh, speaking of the priest, he was driving out with someone a few episodes ago. Did he or someone else get out of the car and walk back to Alexandria? Either way it may have been how he met the newbies. Anyone catch what the priest said to himself while loading up all the food?
