Pretty sure...

[Show spoiler]Lame. (at least to me). I mean, Zeke is just going to get bit... even if it is while protecting Eugene or whoever else they have in that role... meh.

I think Zeke's death is like Glenn's death. Certain moments from the comics should be in the show.

I agree 100%. The show has gone down a much different course at this point.

[Show spoiler]Killing both Henry and Ezekiel at the same time would traumatize Carol, that's probably why they held off on Ezekiel until next season/whenever.

[Show spoiler]Carol going to singlehandedly eliminate the Whisperers if Henry and Zeke get it.

Everyone has lost someone close at this point. Sure, Carol lost her daughter in season 2, so losing Zeke and Henry would be hard, but no different than Rick... he lost his best friend, his wife and his son.

I think Maggie's had it worse than anyone. She witnessed her dad, sister and husband all get murdered in front of her.

At the end of the day, I just don't like that argument (and it seems to the consensus around the web) about it being hard for Carol. Glenn's death was a defining moment in the comics, so is Ezekiel and the pikes. I don't think it will have a great affect if Tara and Enid are the two "big" names that get it.

Tara is one of the most hated characters on the show (unfortunately, some hate seems to be focused on the actress, and not the character).

And Enid?? She's been a bit character for a few seasons now who shows up sporadically.

The Whisperers are supposed to be a big threat. Taking out Tara, Enid, Henry and a bunch of red shirts just doesn't doesn't move the needle, especially considering Negan killed TWO big names in Glenn and Abe. There is hardly any emotional impact/connection in that.

However, you put Zeke on a pike and have Carol replace Michone's role in those few panes? That, to me, is more impactful than losing half of Hilltop.

I'm down for a good old fashioned bloodbath to really shake things up for season 10. With all of the concentration on relationships and relatively happy moments post time jump, this pike scene is coming at just the right time.

[InuYashaCrusade]

[Show spoiler]
Finalized list of pike victims:

DJ
Highwayman (Ozzy’s 2nd in command)
Frankie
Tammy Rose
Addy
Rodney
Tara
Enid
Henry
Ozzy

Little less than impressed at this list. I only recognize about half of these names and have no clue who the rest are.

Sigh.

[Show spoiler]DJ--- Okay... someone who was always in the background...
Highwayman (Ozzy’s 2nd in command)---...who???
Frankie--- Who?
Tammy Rose --- Brett Butler. Meh.
Addy --- Who?? (really, outside of "angnsty teen?)
Rodney --- Who?? (really, outside of "angnsty teen?)
Tara --- Biggest name on the list. Which says something about the quality of the list.
Enid --- Meh. I mean, she was the "doctor" at hilltop, so... I guess?
Henry --- Apparently it isn't ideal to be a teenaged boy on the show with any ties (comics included) to Lydia.
Ozzy --- Meh.

In all honesty, I think Kang and crew have done wonders for this season, but this is a HUGE miss on their part.

I'm a little surprised that nobody from Magna's group gets killed but I don't have a problem with these victims. Tara and Henry are your major deaths and Enid is another. In a season where we already said goodbye to Rick, Maggie and Jesus, with Michonne leaving next year, better to not go overboard with major deaths for the pikes.

Let's face it, the Hilltop leadership is a s*itshow.

[Show spoiler]Tara just isn't a very likeable of entertaining character. I can't believe she's lasted as long as she has.

I kind of like Enid as a character, but making her leader would be a little far-fetched.

The only character I care much for on this list is Ozzy, and he's brand new to the show. Why the hell is Addy?

This list seems a little hard to believe.

This list seems a little hard to believe.

The teenage girl who went with Enid to find Henry when he ran off with Lydia. And no, I didn’t know that until I googled her character name just now.

I agree, that list feels like something the show would intentionally let leak to keep us surprised, but we’ll see soon enough.

[InuYashaCrusade]

I'm really looking forward to the episode tonight. This season has gone by very quickly.

This will be the first season that I've purchased on Blu-ray since season 6 a few years ago.

[Shin sam]

Finally caught up from the mid season break. Well, as bad as it's been the last Ep was surprising good. However, the show now is literally a western with zombies. Also, dose anyone else get a Hayden Christensen EP 2 vibe from Henry? At one point I expected him to talk about sand.
