This episode had so many great moments. It also had a few fishy ones. Let’s get to it!

- Uh oh. Aaron’s boyfriend Eric joined them on the journey to Oceanside. He even spoke a few lines. Poor guy. I don’t know even know what he said but it just sealed his fate. He’s not making it out of this season! (Sidenote: Now that we know Jesus is up for grabs - maybe after mourning Eric - Aaron will move on to cuter things.)

- I’m a little shocked and sad that they didn’t show us the damage that Sasha did. Negan references it but I feel like we should have seen it. We know Sasha isn’t going to make it so I would have liked to see her go all G.I. Jane on the Sanctuary. That would have made her death worth it. I wonder what else they have on store for her. 

- I have a soft spot for Negan. He’s hot. He’s charming. I love love love to hate him. But I have to say, he made me love him just a little bit more in this episode when he killed Rapey Davey. I think it showed us a little of who Negan was before the  outbreak. He is vehemently against it and killed Davey on the spot. On the other hand, though, he has all of these wives who he uses. And he’s okay with using them for sex. That’s the complexity of Negan. There’s a little good but still a lot of bad. 

- My favorite lines of the night - I’m here to protect the pregnant lady. I don’t need a pregnant lady to protect me. MAGGGGIIIIEEEEEEE! Help me! (Sidenote: how preggers is Maggie supposed to be because she’s not showing at all?)

- Also, Gregory, please go find your balls. Are you packing a bag to go see Simon so that you can get some balls? 

- The survivors made it to Oceanside and Tara is trying to get Natania to listen. I’m trying to listen to what she’s saying but the only thing I’m thinking about is how much this lady looks like the Terminus lady. What if they were sisters torn apart by the outbreak?! What if the whole story of the Saviors killing their husbands, brothers, etc. was just a story? What if they are secretly eating the males the way they did at Terminus? I know! I couldn’t stop thinking about it either. 

- The takeover of Oceanside is brilliant. Bombs go off outside of the village and the guys guide them to one place. And then the walkers come and they all worked together. Awesomesauce. I really dug the way they worked together. I hope some of these ladies join our friends. I also hope next week goes as smoothly as this did. 

- Also, if you are living in a man-less village  and the first man faces you see are Daryl, Aaron and Jesus....don’t you sort of feel like you’ve died and gone to Heaven? I would love to be a part of that man sandwich. 

How is Negan going to use Sasha? He’s not going to have her join his team - he hasn’t broken her yet - so what exactly is he doing? Is he just using her as a hostage? I also still do not want to believe that Eugene is Negan. He can still be faking right? I mean, he still loves his friends...he wouldn’t just switch teams like that....although Negan treats him like a contributor and a leader. Rick and team never did that. They just sort of tolerated him. So maybe he did switch. I just hate that idea. 

Other tidbits:

- Loved Tara giving Rachel the finger. I don’t remember why but that kid deserves it. 

- Carl giving Enid the truth - that he thinks about those he has killed and those he hasn’t killed often - is progressing their relationship nicely. By this time next season, he might get to third base - while on rollarskates. 

- Daryl lunging at Dwight. Yes. I can’t forget Easy Street either! He must at least get one punch in. Please, Rick, pretty please!

I can’t believe we’re FINALLY headed to WAR. I can’t wait!!! Who do you think kills Negan? I would love for it to be one of our strong women to carry on the strong women theme. Maybe Carol or Maggie. Or maybe even Enid. THAT would be awesome.
