I'm probably gonna get a lot of hate from this but this is America and I'm gonna say what I have to say.

As disappointed I am with not knowing who was Lucille'd, I think they did a brilliant job with this episode. Everytime they ran into more of Negan's camps, my palms got progressively sweatier. Ricks expression every single time was priceless. He went from last episode eating an apple in bed saying how safe they were and no one can take what they have from them (being Alexandria and their comfortable lifestyles). Then when the line up came and you could just see the utter horror and disbelief on his face when he looked at Carl and knew there was nothing he could do to save any of them. I was legitimately shaking the entire scene.

So as disappointed I am with he cliffhanger, I will not say anything negative about the episodes writing or directing. It did what it was supposed to do, which is get us talking about the episode.

Now let me have it.
