I genuinely had a hard time remembering what Morgan and Carol had even been up to last but it did come back to me. I don't get what Carol's problem is with 'The Kingdom' either, considering it appears to be a fully functional and at least partially self-sufficient community living a pretty decent life. It's like when they got to Alexandria and were turning their noses up at it, conveniently forgetting that they were STARVING TO FUCKING DEATH AND DRINKING DIRTY PUDDLES up until the point when they found it, so not exactly doing amazingly well by themselves.

The Ezekiel guy did turn out to be a pretty interesting character though, once you got past the tiger (despite his explanation for it), and the episode overall was alright.

And no one wants to find out what happened to Rick and company anyway, yeah?

The fact that they are sending Negan's men pigs that have been fed on walkers!

I think she has had enough and wants to die or just given up on living. It must be hard to be in that environmant

it took me until MrsA told me that Ginger Scarface and the woman were people Darrel had fallen in with ages and ages and ages back. How the hell are we meant to remember that?

I continue to be amazed at the abundance of resources Negan has at his dispoasl, like when he trapped Rick and co at the end of Season Six, the man pretty much seems to be in control of a substantial standing army. And now he appears to be able to assign ten burly chaps to waiting for Daryl to leave his cell, and then corner him at exactly the right time, in the perfect place.

Dirty pork surprise for Negans crew! Daryl is eating safe and nutritious tinned dog meat.

All his gear is now back at the baddies gaff including his bike. I think he'll get a chance to make a break.

There was a real nasty twist at the end when Michonne found all the mattresses that Negan has taken burnt in a pile. He just took them to make Rik's groups life worse.

As in, why destroy the mattresses? It's not going to send any more of a message to Rick and company than they've already got (assuming they ever even saw them at all), and they already had them in transit, so unless Negan knows of a nearby John Lewis that's still got lots of nice bedding and mattresses in stock, he'd take the mattresses with him. Like, all those guys that Rick killed at Negan's outpost, they looked like they'd be pleased to get some new mattresses. NO ONE IS MAKING MATTRESSES ANY MORE YOU WOULDN'T SET FIRE TO THEM.

Make them all weaker by giving them less sleep, therefore easier to overpower.

For the lols

Because he knew Ricks group would find them. His net position on matresses remains neutral, but it further undermines Rick, as it makes life a lot less pleasent for the Amityville residents. He could not burn them in the town as it would risk Thrilling Heroics

Yes it's the mattresses that'll really get people terrified, not the fact that he cheerfully kills people with baseball bats, or held a woman hostage on pain of death until a couple of missing guns were found.

I get taking the mattresses because mattresses are a nice thing to have in a post-apocalypse wasteland, but setting fire to them when you're already on the way home with them, not so much.

As I've already said though, you achieve that by taking the mattresses in the first place, not by subsequently setting fire to them - and I don't believe the 'send a message' nonsense either.

Like, is Michonne going to get back to Alexandria and say, 'OH MY GOD DON'T MESS WITH NEGAN HE'S PREPARED TO SET FIRE TO MATTRESSES!' And the rest of them will be like, 'Fuck me, brutally murdering two people with a baseball bat and threatening to publicly execute Olivia didn't really bother us, BUT ZOMG NOT THE MATTRESSES! Let's overthrow Rick now!'

Mattresses are a valuable and finite resource in TWD's world, and we know for a fact that one of Negan's outposts was equipped with crap mattresses. You wouldn't set fire to nice mattresses.
