The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 2 Episode 1 - Fandom Hybrid Podcast #361

#thewalkingdead #TWD #deadcity We're back!! After a month-long hiatus, we are back to bring you new content! This episode of TWD: Dead City takes place about a year after the events of Season 1. Maggie struggles to keep her community safe when New Babylon comes looking for soldiers to go on an "exploratory mission" regarding the methane in Manhattan. At the same time, Negan - who has been in a cell - finds himself giving in to the Dama's demands to lead her army when she makes a threat he cannot ignore.

If you will be in Atlanta July 18-20 and would like to join our discussions on The Walking Dead, please check out our panel schedule for ATL Comic Convention on our blog at www.fandomhybrid.com.

Edit: we erroneously mentioned that the show has been renewed for Season 3; as of today, there has not been renewal news for Dead City.

00:00:25,020 --> 00:00:28,060
What's up, hybrids?
Welcome back to another episode

2
00:00:28,060 --> 00:00:31,300
of the Phantom Hybrid Podcast.
This is Hanukkah and I'm here

3
00:00:31,300 --> 00:00:34,940
with Michelle and Casey.
So you know what that means.

4
00:00:35,220 --> 00:00:39,660
We are discussing some Walking
Dead stuff after an extended

5
00:00:39,660 --> 00:00:41,800
hiatus.
Hello Summer.

6
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:43,720
Hello Summer.
Hello.

7
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,880
I know.
So we are discussing Dead City

8
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:52,080
season 2 episode 1 and I think
Michelle and I started the

9
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,680
conversation without you.
Casey, before we start a

10
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,280
recording, Michelle, what was
the first thing you said you

11
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,280
were asking about?
Who Certain?

12
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,080
I was just asked who certain
characters was because while

13
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,840
watching I missed their names so
I need to make I had their names

14
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:08,800
for.
Like that person got to die.

15
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,720
Yeah, I just don't, I don't like
her attitude.

16
00:01:14,320 --> 00:01:20,400
OK, so let's let's jump into it.
We pick up in the show about a

17
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:25,120
year after the events from the
season 1 finale, at least going

18
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,560
by what Negan says.
Negan is here, he's locked up,

19
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:34,320
been locked up, and apparently
it's because the DOMA wants him

20
00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:36,880
to do some things and he's
refusing to do it.

21
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,960
Basically they're trying to turn
him back into the old *** He's

22
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:42,240
like, no, so he's been locked
up.

23
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,440
We're going to come back to that
'cause I got some things to say

24
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,280
about that.
I don't know where, where do we

25
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,880
want to start?
Do we want to start with the

26
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,120
kind of sort of good stuff first
or do you, we want to just, you

27
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,120
know.
What I want to talk about, I'm

28
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:57,600
sorry.
Come on, come on, come on.

29
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,240
Let's go.
The kids get on my nerves

30
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,680
already.
They starting off.

31
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:04,800
I'm like.
Yeah.

32
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:11,000
Herschel don't get over whatever
he hold known to that bad.

33
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,760
Well, you know what?
OK, so I'm gonna say this about.

34
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,960
Herschel, he need a whooping.
I don't know.

35
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,160
No, over his Denny.
Is the one that needs the

36
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:20,760
whooping.
Yes he does.

37
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,000
He needs a beat down.
Jenny needs a whooping.

38
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,480
But before we get into her, let
me go back to Herschel because

39
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,200
when we see them at the
beginning of the episode, you

40
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,120
see that Herschel and Maggie,
they seem to be on better terms

41
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,120
that, you know, it seems like
they've kind of, you know,

42
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,440
crossed that bridge and they're
kind of whatever, whatever.

43
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:44,160
And he doesn't start getting
funky until she sees Negan's hat

44
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,920
in the closet and she picks it
up and then you can kind of see

45
00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:50,280
his attitude change.
And then she kind of she kind of

46
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,880
turns it around with that whole
story about the fireflies and

47
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,880
and the flashlight.
So I think if you think about

48
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,440
Herschel's conversation with her
in the last season after he got

49
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:08,720
rescued, he told her that it
seems like she was so obsessed

50
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,480
with Megan that she didn't
really see him.

51
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:16,280
And so I'm assuming once Megan
got, you know, they left him in

52
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,680
New York, they came back, that
that little threat is not out

53
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,240
there.
And I, I'm not saying that Megan

54
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,360
is a threat, but that reminder
is not just walking around free

55
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,120
like, you know, where he is.
You know that he is not anywhere

56
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,480
near you.
So she has a chance to kind of

57
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,520
relax and in that she can pay
more attention to her son 'cause

58
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,600
she's not worried about whether
or not she's gonna see him

59
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:42,040
around every corner.
So I kind of sort of get his

60
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,920
irritation because when she
volunteers to go to New York,

61
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,880
well, volunteered I guess, and
all of this stuff, he's like,

62
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,440
why does it have to be you?
Why does it always have to be

63
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,760
you?
And I get Maggie's, you know,

64
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,400
her point of view, She's trying
to make it so nobody else has to

65
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,840
go.
But I, I can understand from him

66
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,320
too.
I understand, I understand.

67
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,440
So I wasn't too bothered by
Herschel's attitude because he

68
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,480
was like, OK, I, I'm, I'm just
not getting my mom back the way

69
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,440
I need her.
And now he, she goes traipsing

70
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,040
off to New York again, where
Negan just happens to be.

71
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:24,400
And even though it's not
necessarily connected to him,

72
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,400
especially, he's still a child.
He's still probably 1415 in

73
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,400
this.
It probably feels that way.

74
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:31,680
I get it.
I don't.

75
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:37,920
I don't fault him.
Jenny, on the other hand, I'm so

76
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,000
here.
You know what she is ungrateful.

77
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,920
Very much so ungrateful.
Just entitled.

78
00:04:48,280 --> 00:04:49,720
Just bad.
Bad.

79
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,640
Well, all the audacity that her
little 13 year old self can't

80
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:58,040
handle how old she is.
Yeah, can handle because you

81
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,360
don't see when somebody trying
to make sure you're OK.

82
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:07,400
You don't see what somebody just
baby if if if she is willing to

83
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,560
take the sacrifice for you so
you don't have to What?

84
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,920
What's your point?
He can already told you he

85
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,040
killed his your daddy.
You think he lied?

86
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,840
I, I, I I still think he lied
about that but.

87
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,800
I do think he lied, but.
Yeah, you know.

88
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,880
What I'm saying as as a 13 year
old, you hear this man has

89
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,080
killed your daddy and that's the
reason he's letting you follow

90
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,600
him around.
But now he he he to release you.

91
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,040
He let you know what happened.
And.

92
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,000
You won't go back to kill him.
Like what?

93
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,240
And then the person that is
taking care of you, you mad at

94
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,640
her because he's not there
anymore, girl.

95
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,000
But you don't get out of
yourself.

96
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,440
That part but I get I the part
that I I understand, I get Jenny

97
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:58,240
didn't meet savior Nick Negan,
so she don't know the whole back

98
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,680
story like with Maggie and the
things.

99
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:05,280
So that part I get.
But once you realize that no

100
00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:08,640
matter what has happened between
them two, she's trying to make

101
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,800
sure you're OK.
I told him I would take care of

102
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,400
you.
I told him I would make sure

103
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:17,160
you're alright.
Sir, but we already know

104
00:06:17,840 --> 00:06:20,200
teenagers just think about
themselves.

105
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,680
And I guess it's not gonna be a
pocket.

106
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:28,120
It don't change, no different.
If it doesn't, they don't know

107
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,960
how to make any connections.
It's all about them and their

108
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:35,120
feelings.
And right now, right now,

109
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,800
'cause.
When I say she was getting on my

110
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,160
nerves when they when they had
the little quote UN quote

111
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,640
assessment and Maggie was like,
no, you're not going in there.

112
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,680
Don't make me tell you again.
And then she rushes in there

113
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,000
anyway and then Maggie still has
to save your ass.

114
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,680
Like what did you just
accomplish?

115
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,000
What did we?
Get You could have got Maggie

116
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,600
killed because of what you did.
You're OK.

117
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,360
Because obviously these New
Babylon people don't give a fuck

118
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:05,080
about you.
They don't.

119
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,280
They don't.
Give a fuck about the kids, long

120
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,840
as they can fight.
Why is like we didn't say kids

121
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,720
So what?
Kids can't fight and skip.

122
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,200
And that's why I say that she
needs to be beaten, both of

123
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,840
them.
Do both of those leaders in the

124
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:27,160
new Babylon because when I say
from the moment Charlie Bird

125
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:31,080
opened her mouth I was like oh I
ain't gonna like this bitch and

126
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:35,240
then the other one OK so we
already OK I'm.

127
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,880
Sorry, pause.
Who is Charlie Bird?

128
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,440
Which?
One is she Charlie Bird is the

129
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,400
She's the leader.
She's the one with the cowboy

130
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,320
hat, The black lady.
The orange is the new black.

131
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,120
You know Casey didn't watch
that.

132
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:48,880
I did watch Orange is the New
Black.

133
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,880
Yeah.
I only watched two seasons of

134
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,520
it.
I watched it, yeah.

135
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,400
I mean, yeah, she's the main,
you know that.

136
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,800
She was one of the main ladies.
OK, that's Charlie.

137
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,320
She's the one that's in charge.
And then the other black lady,

138
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:05,120
the light skin with the short
hair.

139
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,640
What she said, Captain.
I can't remember her, her last

140
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,160
name, but she avenged to.
I don't like her either.

141
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,360
I don't like her either.
But you know what we knew?

142
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,440
Knew Babylon was trashed from
the very first episode of the

143
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,560
first season when they did what
they did to Michelle Hurd's

144
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,720
character.
We knew they were garbage.

145
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:30,360
Yeah, We knew they were garbage.
We know they were garbage.

146
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,120
When Parley was talking about
the punishment they did for that

147
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:34,400
dude.
What what, what was it?

148
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,360
They split him down the middle
with a saw.

149
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,480
We knew they were garbage.
So the way that they're coming

150
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:45,040
in and they're like, they're
first of all, they're dragging

151
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:49,480
somebody behind a car so that
they can publicly execute him.

152
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,040
And what was his crime?
He didn't.

153
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:58,440
He didn't want to go into the
Army, but you have that and then

154
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,480
you have the whole thing.
Oh yeah, we're part of New

155
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,720
Babylon.
You guys signed an agreement and

156
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,960
Maggie was like, y'all forced us
to.

157
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,240
And we, we and our charter, we
can conscript you.

158
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,680
As I said, it's the same thing.
We've we've had this discussion

159
00:09:14,680 --> 00:09:18,400
before.
When the world falls apart, why

160
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:23,120
the fuck are y'all going back to
the same rules, to the same

161
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:29,000
systems of aggression and
oppression that made the world

162
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:33,440
fucked up in the 1st place?
I, I just don't understand.

163
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:34,680
And yes I know I'm cussing a
lot.

164
00:09:34,680 --> 00:09:36,800
I said I was going to try and
stop cursing, but it ain't going

165
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:43,880
to be in this episode, I can
guarantee when I say when they

166
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,440
started saying all of this stuff
and then Pearly comes to talk to

167
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,440
Maggie.
First of all, Pearly, I still

168
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,720
don't like him.
I don't like him even more now

169
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,240
because now you got yourself a
position because you don't lied

170
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,000
about what you did to me again.
And then you want to come and

171
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,400
tell Maggie, Oh yeah, I'm
conscripting you 'cause I think

172
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,200
you'll be a asset.
What?

173
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:08,880
What if it wasn't for this woman
and Megan you to be dead?

174
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,520
You will be Walker food.
And then my whole thought was

175
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,840
what's going to happen when they
get to New York and see me

176
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:23,120
again?
Right, but they're going to, of

177
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,760
course they're going to is
because which you're going to.

178
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,160
The the role that they have
Negan plan, of course.

179
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:33,320
They're going to absolutely,
1000% going to.

180
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:35,160
And then what?
What?

181
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,120
What, what he going to say then?
Oh, we'll see.

182
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,280
What happened was yeah, no,
they're gonna kill him.

183
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,920
He gonna be dragged behind a God
damn carriage.

184
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:45,800
Right?
Right.

185
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,840
But, you know, just the one
thing I don't get, like I get

186
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,400
that is the world of The Walking
Dead.

187
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,800
I get it.
But the one thing that I don't

188
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,480
get it, I just don't understand
is why do you have to do

189
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:03,960
everything with hostility?
Because the way that they're

190
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:11,680
making the methane, kind of even
going back to fear the way that

191
00:11:11,680 --> 00:11:15,240
they're making the gas, that
they were making gas same way

192
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,920
they're making this methane.
Why don't you just ask for help?

193
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:22,320
Show us how to do it like.
They're not hurting anybody.

194
00:11:22,680 --> 00:11:25,880
Walkers are everywhere.
That is correct like.

195
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,840
You know, I can't, you know,
kind of what Alexandria did when

196
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,240
they were trying to help the
other community.

197
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:36,240
Let us help you rather than us
in fighting because fighting we

198
00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:39,440
just going to lose people.
People are a resource that we

199
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,280
about to lose because we want to
start a war and try to take

200
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,120
something where you could just
come over here and hey, can you

201
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,440
show me how to do this?
Right, because if you take the

202
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,960
methane somewhere else.
If you take the methane from

203
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,400
them, who going to lift those
bodies into that tank 'cause I'm

204
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:56,960
going to tell you now I ain't.
And and enough money in the

205
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,600
world and enough security in the
world to make me do what they

206
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,120
were doing at the beginning of
this episode.

207
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:07,800
Absolutely not.
But the other thing is, here we

208
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,520
go again.
We saw it with like the

209
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,880
governor, you see it with all
the other villains we've had,

210
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,880
how you all call yourself an
army and go take what somebody

211
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,680
else developed.
Like you said, ask for help,

212
00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:24,960
show us how to do this.
But you can't do that because

213
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,760
y'all are in the mainland.
Y'all, y'all are not cut off.

214
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,920
So y'all don't have the access
to the walkers like that unless

215
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:36,480
you go follow a herd.
And I mean, we're 20 years in

216
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,600
now.
The herds are few and far

217
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,520
between.
So Manhattan is perfect for you.

218
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,240
Got a million, maybe 2 million
souls on that island.

219
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,160
Guess what we we can share, we
can do some stuff.

220
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,960
Oh y'all growing corn?
Y'all growing food.

221
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:58,600
Well, not growing it too much
because of the because the, the

222
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,440
Moss, but y'all growing fresh
food.

223
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,120
We have gas.
Let's help each other.

224
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,000
Why?
Why does it have to be?

225
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,440
And, and that's the one thing I
hate because people always ask

226
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:16,200
why like how can society fall
because of shit like that?

227
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:20,960
Because when things get rough,
y'all don't know to sit here and

228
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,640
be like oh let's work together
to kind of build things back up.

229
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,840
You talking all this talk about
wanting to bring Manhattan back,

230
00:13:29,680 --> 00:13:32,080
but the way you want to do it is
you want to go take it from

231
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,360
somebody else.
What is what is New Babylon go

232
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,440
do with these million walkers
and then.

233
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:43,640
This is my other thought.
Once you take it over, you got

234
00:13:43,680 --> 00:13:45,240
rid of the people who know how
to run it.

235
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:48,560
What?
What do you do?

236
00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:53,000
What did you win right when you
could have just asked for

237
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:57,800
fucking help, right?
But we logical clearly.

238
00:13:58,680 --> 00:14:03,320
Clearly, I mean, maybe that is
why lose some brain cells if a

239
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:08,000
zombie apocalypse happened and
you know, but again, 20 years

240
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,160
down the road, maybe they're
just not thinking like they do

241
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,640
just like we mess with Daryl
about you don't know they're

242
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,360
knock on a building like you got
so LAX.

243
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,840
But he was on vacation.
OK, We gonna leave him alone

244
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,280
about this.
But I mean it, it's the same

245
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:27,280
thing like.
But that is why my name is why?

246
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,120
I never changed my name but.
It's why.

247
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:36,040
Yes, right.
Because I know why.

248
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:41,320
Because we had to come stupid.
No, let's just dig a little

249
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,640
deeper.
We had to come up with a Season

250
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:49,280
2.
And I get that.

251
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:55,440
So, you know, get that, which
now you wrote it in a way that

252
00:14:55,440 --> 00:15:00,320
that is kind of stupid because
you, you, you should just sit a

253
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:06,400
spy in to learn how to do it.
Yeah, instead of trying to take

254
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,920
over.
And get your people here.

255
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,560
That's not human nature.
Because why am I going to sit

256
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,040
here and work hard to learn how
to do when I can just take what

257
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:15,760
you have that I mean, it's
human.

258
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,720
But that is why we also have
spies.

259
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,960
You spies.
We have spies, that's how.

260
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,160
They found out about Annie and
Joshua which.

261
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:33,320
So use use the spies, right?
Because you're not capable of

262
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,800
running New York City.
So let's just come on.

263
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:41,800
Right.
Come on all these people is why

264
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,000
the motivation is why the only
people that make sense are the

265
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,240
kids 'cause they acting dumb but
they keep.

266
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,960
What they supposed to do as
teenagers?

267
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,680
Right, right, right.
Right.

268
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:58,160
And I mean, OK, I will say this.
I I don't have a problem with

269
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,880
the things that Maggie did in
this episode because Maggie was

270
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:05,080
like, OK, look, I'm not about to
let you take my people because

271
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,280
they already don't have a lot
there.

272
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,360
So I get it.
She's in protector mode.

273
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,960
You know, when Negan had the
conversation with the guy, his

274
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,720
jail cell, when he had the
conversation with the Croat, and

275
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,360
the Croat was like, oh, so
you're not going to cooperate?

276
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:21,400
We can go get your little
friend.

277
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,000
He was like, yeah, I want to see
you try.

278
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,840
Did you hear him?
He had he had mad respect for

279
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,160
Maggie.
He was like, yeah, you go and

280
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,240
try and touch that boy.
He was like, and she will tear

281
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,960
your throat out with her teeth
right after she guts you with

282
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,240
her knife.
I said he ain't never lied.

283
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,800
Did you see what she did to to
shift in the person?

284
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:48,880
Right, right.
So I'm OK with Maggie this

285
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:50,600
episode.
Yeah, I didn't have a problem

286
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:56,040
with Maggie the whole, OK,
here's my other question I have.

287
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:02,480
Why is the diamond in charge?
What what the what does she

288
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:08,560
offer that makes it so that
Negan didn't run Lucille upside

289
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,520
her head the moment he had the
chance?

290
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,640
Because when you're bringing him
to the table and you're talking

291
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,200
about these other groups and how
you want to try to, you know,

292
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,680
form an alliance and you're
like, my methods are no longer

293
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,680
working.
They're not responding to me.

294
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,400
Well, bitch, why are you in
charge?

295
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:29,160
Are you in?
Charge.

296
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,760
That's why she went to go find
Negan, 'cause she knew she

297
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,600
wasn't.
She was losing control, that

298
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,240
was.
Negan been sitting in a jail

299
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:40,000
cell chilling eating real
cockroaches while while she been

300
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,920
doing that y'all know those
those real cockroaches he was

301
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:52,600
eating yes but so I'm like I I'm
so confused by this whole power

302
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:57,560
dynamic because why you are old
lady and granted maybe you got

303
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:05,840
some skills maybe you can throw
hands maybe I I just I don't I

304
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:06,480
don't.
Get it?

305
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:12,000
I don't either.
And the minute *** had Lucille 2

306
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,920
point O in his hand.
And the minute he saw what

307
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:19,960
Lucille 2 point O could do,
y'all wanna see the old ***

308
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,400
Right, 'cause at this point he,
he gonna see the levels of

309
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:28,920
leadership and be like, OK, this
is easy, right?

310
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,240
Right.
I don't even have to go back to

311
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,320
my, my old self really.
I could just do it 'cause.

312
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,880
You kinda dumb.
You all are kinda dumb.

313
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,840
Y'all are not used to dealing
with somebody on Nigga's level,

314
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,200
which is which is crazy because
y'all got all these different

315
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,640
little games.
Y'all got the black chicks with

316
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:53,400
the the you?
Got that right bitch with the.

317
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:58,000
Good looking, all mysterious but
y'all let Negan come into this

318
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,600
church with his corny little
monologue and I was thinking I

319
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,160
was like he's probably being
corny on purpose because he

320
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,200
don't want to be there.
The only reason why Negan is

321
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:11,200
there is y'all brought Annie and
Joshua into and I got a problem

322
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:16,240
with that potentially because
y'all not going to keep throwing

323
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,280
around this idea of wife and
child if y'all not going to show

324
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:21,560
it to us.
But that is true.

325
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,760
Says they on the way.
So we going to see they on the

326
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,840
way.
That's what the Dhamma said.

327
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:31,120
She said now that they're on
their way, we I thought you

328
00:19:31,120 --> 00:19:34,160
might want to get prepared.
That's when he looked up at her

329
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,720
and said, oh, they don't.
But I just I just don't believe

330
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,400
that they on their way.
But that's OK.

331
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:42,880
We finna see.
I I don't know if she would

332
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,880
bluff something like that,
because again, this is Negan

333
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,680
we're talking about gang of shit
like that in front of him and

334
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,000
then expect him to be like, oh,
I was just kidding.

335
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,240
Oh, were you?
No, Yeah, no, no.

336
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,040
I think they probably, Yeah, I
think they.

337
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,560
Probably, but then we'll get
some of our questions answered

338
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,760
from YEAH last season of how we
felt about him leaving his

339
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:10,440
family.
Yeah, but I mean and, and then

340
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:15,840
also I mean and, and we don't
know he could have tried to go

341
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,760
after them because from what the
Dhamma tells us, she says, when

342
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,560
we were looking for you, we
heard tale of a woman and child,

343
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,320
which I'm like, it's a whole
bunch of women and children

344
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,120
like.
Yeah, but she has a strong

345
00:20:28,120 --> 00:20:32,080
personality, so she's probably
doing stuff that makes her

346
00:20:32,120 --> 00:20:33,640
known.
That's the problem.

347
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,000
She What did she say?
She said the train car that they

348
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,120
were on was supposed to go to
Missouri, but it got the road

349
00:20:41,120 --> 00:20:44,560
got washed out from flooding.
So she ended up in Tennessee.

350
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,240
I'm like, oh, she not too far
from she, not too far from

351
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:52,520
Alexandria.
And you know the other folks,

352
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:58,640
but it's possible.
Well, this is my next question.

353
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,360
This is my next question because
ultimately everyone knows how I

354
00:21:02,360 --> 00:21:11,040
feel about this show.
Why did Maggie once they came

355
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,320
back and she got her?
So why didn't they just go to

356
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,280
the Commonwealth and go visit
the other family members?

357
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,400
I mean, maybe a stupid question,
I may have missed something.

358
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,760
Yeah.
And and you know what, maybe

359
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,640
they did and we just, I mean,
like I said it, we're talking

360
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,880
about a year later.
There could have been some stuff

361
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,880
that happened in there.
And why you just you, you, you

362
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:33,640
could have went to the
Commonwealth.

363
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,240
I don't think she would do that
because these people look at

364
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,720
Maggie as a leader and I don't
think she would abandoned them.

365
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,520
Like, yeah, she might go to
visit, but you have to think

366
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,800
about it.
They, they're obviously

367
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,520
struggling right now because the
they.

368
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,440
Are she could have took them
with her migrated.

369
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:58,160
I don't know if she would do
that, especially because I, I

370
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,600
don't know.
I know I think from Madison she

371
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,720
just needed a fresh start
because she didn't have a, she

372
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,040
didn't have a good experience in
the Commonwealth either.

373
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,520
So I think maybe the bricks is
something new is different and

374
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:14,440
yes, her people aren't there,
but that might also be part of

375
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:18,040
the appeal because sometimes you
can love your family with

376
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,240
everything you have, but
sometimes you can't be around

377
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:21,960
your family.
Sometimes you just need to do

378
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,720
things on your own.
Well, she's going to miss when

379
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,000
Rick comes back.
That's OK.

380
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,920
No, we will have a conversation
another time.

381
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,360
Look, all right.
But again, that's a but again,

382
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,320
until season 3.
But this is again renewed for

383
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,840
they did get renewed for season.
Three dead city, yes.

384
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:49,760
It's the IRO, do it again.
They did get renewed for Season

385
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,880
3.
Oh my gosh.

386
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,720
Or maybe we'll have some good
stuff to talk about.

387
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,840
Right now I just want to get all
the complaining out the way

388
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,040
'cause I don't want to complain
throughout.

389
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,360
The yeah.
And I'm I'm, I'm not.

390
00:23:02,360 --> 00:23:06,200
This is just my least favorite.
Yeah, yeah, so far it's like,

391
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,440
and I'm not saying it's a bad
episode, but people are making

392
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,920
dumb decisions and people are
doing stupid things.

393
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,880
So I'm just kind of like, what?
How are you guys all alive at

394
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,360
this point except?
The my thought is it seemed

395
00:23:18,360 --> 00:23:23,080
like, and this is my
perspective, you can't go from

396
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:27,080
the main show where we have
learned the tips and tricks and

397
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:32,520
basically how to survive and you
learn how to survive for 11

398
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,160
years, 12 years almost, or how
much every time they spend on

399
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,760
that show.
You've learned for 12 years to

400
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,640
protect yourself, protect your
family.

401
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,640
When you in the woods, when you
in the community, when you hear,

402
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,800
when you there, when you hear we
there, How do you then leave

403
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:53,800
this grand community that has
everything together to go

404
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,080
someplace else and you forget
everything you learned?

405
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,800
Cause how?
Cause how?

406
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,560
Yeah, 'cause even after Maggie
left the Commonwealth, the

407
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:06,040
Commonwealth had now been
revamped and this is where it

408
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:07,680
is.
And that's when Maggie decides

409
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,280
she want to leave and do
whatever.

410
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,400
That's fine.
At that point, we understand why

411
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:14,880
you didn't take your home from
the Commonwealth in the

412
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,800
beginning, cause Lance was
feisty and we knew what that

413
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,840
was.
But now that he's gone and

414
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:26,520
Pamela's in jail, Commonwealth
is not run by your friends like

415
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,480
Michelle said.
Why wouldn't you just go there?

416
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,400
It's not like that bad blood.
It takes two people with you.

417
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,160
Y'all don't have to store grain
in the God damn silo and and and

418
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,520
scavenge and still do all of
these things when there's a

419
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:39,920
community.
Cause how many people there?

420
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,640
10,000 people.
Yeah, have a community of 10,000

421
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,760
people.
But you know what?

422
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,320
It could also be one, she
doesn't want to be around that

423
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,880
many people, especially if all
the groups that she's been with

424
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,880
since she left the first time
have been smaller groups.

425
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,320
Maybe she doesn't want to be
around all those people.

426
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,520
But also too, this goes back to
what Rick said in season what,

427
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,840
4-5?
Maggie's a leader, Maggie's not

428
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,320
a follower.
And maybe she needed to be

429
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:13,680
somewhere where she could lead
and feel like that because she's

430
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,000
tried the following thing.
It didn't always work out for

431
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,680
her.
And the last time she did that

432
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,760
was with Rick and Michonne and
her supposedly all being in

433
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,640
charge.
And then Rick and Michonne

434
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,040
decided to let Negan live.
So maybe she was like, you know

435
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,880
what, let me strike out on my
own.

436
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:34,280
I'm sure there's still some
communication, but like I said,

437
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,600
sometimes you just can't be
around your family.

438
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:42,640
And then if it also could be,
maybe she was trying to shield

439
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,440
Herschel from certain things
because yes, it might be good

440
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:49,000
for Herschel to grow with
familiarity, but it might also

441
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,480
be a little bit of a burden.
Like if everyone walks around,

442
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:56,400
oh, you look just like your dad.
Oh, this is your dad this, your

443
00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,600
dad that.
And it's kind of like he may not

444
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,080
have an identity of his own
because he's always going to be

445
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,520
looked at as Glenn's son.
So maybe she was trying to

446
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,280
protect him from that too.
I'm just saying 'cause I no.

447
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,840
Because no, But that's some
bullshit, because we already

448
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:17,560
know that every time she fucking
look at his Herschel's ass, all

449
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,280
she sees is fucking Glenn.
Yeah.

450
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:23,520
Her, yes, and her and the thing
and the thing, right.

451
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,960
But that's her.
But when you got several hundred

452
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,600
other people who may be saying
the same thing, which I know

453
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,280
it's not that many cause not
that many knew Glenn, But but if

454
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:38,800
you got a group of 20 or 30 who
look at you in a certain way and

455
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,760
they're reminded of your dad in
a certain way, but it's like

456
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,120
they want to say it and keep his
memory alive, but they also

457
00:26:44,120 --> 00:26:45,080
don't want you to feel that
burn.

458
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:50,840
Like I have a friend who passed
away and he had sons that looked

459
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:55,680
exactly like him and they were
forever being told, Oh, you look

460
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,880
just like your dad.
You sound just like your dad.

461
00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:59,960
Whatever.
And one of the, one of the guy,

462
00:27:00,120 --> 00:27:02,280
you know, one of the kids went
and told his mom.

463
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:07,000
He was like, you know, I love my
dad, but I feel like I'm an

464
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,680
extension of him and not my own
person.

465
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,760
Like, when people look at me,
they don't see me.

466
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:15,480
They see him.
So, I mean, and as Anthony would

467
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,880
say, maybe I'm giving the
writers too much, too much

468
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:22,800
credit, but I can just say that
could be part of her motivation.

469
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,760
She could be like, OK, I need to
kind of maybe distance my my

470
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:28,880
child from this.
Then here it is.

471
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,080
You bump into Negan.
You have to go through all that.

472
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,640
And now Negan is locked away in
New York.

473
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,960
And now you can kind of be like,
OK, you know what?

474
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,600
Everything about that old life
is kind of put to the side.

475
00:27:41,120 --> 00:27:45,640
Maybe I can breathe and try to
see who I am instead of being

476
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:49,160
the widow, instead of being
Herschel's daughter, Beth's

477
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,840
sister, Glenn's wife.
You.

478
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,440
You get what I'm saying?
That that could be part of the

479
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:59,000
reason why she's not with
anybody right now.

480
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,760
And I want them to actually put
that in.

481
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,080
Yeah.
In it, because if not, it just

482
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,680
looks like you're making it so
so we can have this story.

483
00:28:10,120 --> 00:28:14,800
Yeah, for like you left us for
Frankie and we didn't hear from

484
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,800
you for six years and we don't,
we still don't know exactly what

485
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:22,920
you did while you were gone.
Because for me, them showing up

486
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:24,560
to the bricks.
Did y'all go to the

487
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,280
Commonwealth?
Yeah, because we know.

488
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,320
We know there are other
communities.

489
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,920
They're not going one, they're
not going to the Commonwealth, I

490
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:37,320
can tell you that much.
I mean, Commonwealth is too it.

491
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,600
It is.
It's too Far East.

492
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,480
I mean too too far West for
them.

493
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:48,520
And like you said, the
Commonwealth has 10,000 strong.

494
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,640
The Commonwealth has tanks
depending on where Dead City

495
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,840
falls in the timeline.
If Rick and Michelle have

496
00:28:55,840 --> 00:29:00,520
returned back, The Commonwealth
also has the newly revamped CRM,

497
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,440
you know, bringing in supplies
with the helicopters.

498
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,000
New new Babylon don't want any
of that.

499
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:10,720
They don't want any of that.
And if they got spies telling

500
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,520
them what's going on, like you
got people telling you about

501
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:17,160
what's going on in Manhattan,
which I'm surprised none of your

502
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:18,880
people told you.
Oh, yeah, there is a Negan

503
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,160
there.
But anyway, if, if you got ways

504
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:26,440
to find out about people and
about things, I'm sure they've

505
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,640
sent scouts out.
I'm sure they've probably heard

506
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:35,400
of the Commonwealth, but also
the Commonwealth has allies

507
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,400
somewhere because that train
wasn't going nowhere.

508
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,520
We still don't know what was
what that train was about.

509
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,520
Hell, maybe, maybe the
Commonwealth was in league with

510
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,600
New Babylon, but I don't I don't
think it would be that way

511
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:54,880
because the Commonwealth, even
though they did use a lot of

512
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:59,360
like the old rules and the old
ways, they weren't necessarily

513
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,560
cruel in that manner the way
that New Babylon is.

514
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,040
All these people in New Babylon,
except for Pearly, I will give

515
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:07,840
him that.
All these people with the new

516
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:12,840
Babylon law enforcement, they
seem like they're getting a kick

517
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,840
out of hanging people in front
of, you know, men, women and

518
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:22,320
children and, you know, sending
people off to go run a fool's

519
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,200
errand to Manhattan because you
want to steal somebody's

520
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,320
methane.
They just, they seem like they

521
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,880
are enjoying this cruel streak a
little too much, especially

522
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,920
those two chicks in charge.
That's why I was like, them

523
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:40,800
bitches got to die.
And I I just, I know they felt

524
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:46,920
some kind of way when Pearly
suggested Maggie, you know, to

525
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,200
be on the thing.
And he was like, what was it

526
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,400
that she asked him?
She said is this one woman

527
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,680
really worth 20 million?
Was like, yeah I think she is

528
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,600
like, oh y'all obviously don't
know.

529
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:02,160
And so when they did that little
test and Maggie did show OK, you

530
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,440
know what?
Yeah I'm over here by myself but

531
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:05,880
I ain't forgot what I was
taught.

532
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:11,640
I was like these two women right
here, y'all can't hold a candle

533
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:17,040
to Maggie because y'all doing
your threatening with you know

534
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:21,120
vehicles and guns and and trying
to be all big and bad.

535
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:26,960
Maggie got a a stick and a
pissed off attitude and she

536
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,280
didn't took out all these
walkers in the corral and saved

537
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,080
Jenny and she looking at y'all
like what?

538
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,440
And what?
Because she thought she was

539
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,320
going to fight people.
And the girl was like, Oh no,

540
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:40,800
he's in Manhattan.
You're not going to be fighting.

541
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:45,000
People looked around.
She looked at her like, is this

542
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,840
it?
Right.

543
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:53,240
There's no here work 20 people.
We know she worked 20 people,

544
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:58,680
right?
But I, I don't know, like I said

545
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:02,920
that these new Babylon people,
they, they make my ass itch.

546
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:08,280
And I'm really like, I, I'm
gonna need, I'm gonna need

547
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:12,080
somebody to die or I'm gonna
need them to like really get a

548
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:16,840
ass whooping because I'm, I'm
not feeling the, I'm not feeling

549
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,600
these females at all.
I'm not feel, I'm not feeling

550
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:27,320
pearly, pearly with his, with
his trying to, I don't know.

551
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:28,720
He's trying to be the middle
man.

552
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,560
He's trying to please everyone.
He's trying to make it sound

553
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,960
like.
He's trying to get his ass

554
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:35,240
caught.
Up, huh?

555
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,080
He.
Tried not to get his ass caught

556
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:39,200
up.
And I get that.

557
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:43,520
But you look weak, my brother.
You look weak.

558
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,120
And then you got dime store
Milton over here trying to

559
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,720
school people about what New
York used to be.

560
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:55,040
You weren't even born or you
were probably a child when all

561
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:56,920
this happened.
Herschel's looking at him like

562
00:32:58,560 --> 00:32:59,920
he's like, oh, So what you think
is funny?

563
00:32:59,960 --> 00:33:03,200
I'm sorry, I think I know.
I I've read through the

564
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,040
textbooks and blah blah blah.
Herschel was like, I've been

565
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:10,520
there.
He right whoops, dime store

566
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:16,440
Milton, I'm a your name.
I I I was just like, when he

567
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,280
started doing the writing and
then he stopped.

568
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,320
New York da, da, da, da, da.
I was like, Oh my God, it's

569
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,480
Milton again.
It's Milton.

570
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:28,560
But Milton wasn't as irritating
because Milton wasn't trying to.

571
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,240
He wasn't trying to show off
that he was the egghead of the

572
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,240
bunch.
He was just like, OK, yeah, I

573
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,360
know this and OK, yeah, we can
do this.

574
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:41,400
And you know, he had a little
bit of humbleness about him,

575
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,520
This dude, like I said, I'm not
feeling none of these new

576
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:48,400
Babylonian people, men, I don't
like them.

577
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,600
And then you coming in, like I
said, you try, you're trying to

578
00:33:53,640 --> 00:34:00,560
be I, I don't know, you trying
to be law and order in the worst

579
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:06,800
way, in the worst way.
And then you're trying to go

580
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:11,880
claim an island that most of
y'all ain't been on, at least

581
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,639
not since the the dead started
rising.

582
00:34:14,639 --> 00:34:20,719
And then you're gonna try to
take the methane that the Croat

583
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:24,600
sat here, figured out how to do,
figured out how to make the

584
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:28,880
things went to go scabbage the
the equipment and the materials

585
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:30,840
to do.
And I love that they showed us

586
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:34,159
exactly how he's doing it at the
beginning, because we saw a

587
00:34:34,159 --> 00:34:37,600
little bit of it in the last
season, but this one was a

588
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:42,120
little bit more detailed.
I mean, that little bit of gas

589
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:51,920
lit up all of Times Square.
So I'm like the New Babylonians.

590
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:57,720
I get that they think they ain't
a shit, but now that the Dhamma

591
00:34:57,720 --> 00:35:02,640
has Negan back in charge and
Negan is just warming up, I,

592
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:06,000
I'm, I'm kind of ready for that
fight to happen.

593
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:07,680
And then of course they're going
to have Maggie.

594
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,160
So, you know, at some point
Maggie and Megan are going to

595
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,200
come across each other, which
means Pearly and Megan are going

596
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:16,760
to come across each other, which
means the other two are going to

597
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:20,280
see Megan and be like, so you
said you killed him.

598
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,440
He lives very much alive walking
around.

599
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:29,400
I I don't like the New
Babylonians.

600
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:33,280
I didn't like I didn't like them
last season and we only saw a

601
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,320
little bit of them.
I don't like them in this first

602
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,600
episode.
I can tell these are going to be

603
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,560
the people that I'm like, OK,
can y'all just kill them and

604
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:45,080
we'd be done with it just.
So it's not going to be so it's

605
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:51,120
knowing we're going to really
care about who lives or dies.

606
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:56,320
I care about Mia, I do care
about Maggie, but I need Maggie

607
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,600
to have a little attitude.
But they're not going anywhere.

608
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:00,920
We know that part.
So I'm saying everywhere else

609
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:03,240
around them, it's almost like
Season 1.

610
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,080
I don't.
Want to see Herschel die?

611
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:09,800
I don't think that's Maggie's
reading.

612
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,120
If Herschel dies, Maggie would
lay in the field of walkers and

613
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:15,480
get eaten.
I don't I don't see that like

614
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,160
her whole purpose is making sure
this.

615
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,760
Little boy.
So he he's going to, he's going

616
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:23,000
to survive that.
He gonna survive.

617
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,200
Yeah, you're right.
Then there's really, there's

618
00:36:26,240 --> 00:36:28,200
really nobody.
I think the kids are safe.

619
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,760
I think the kids are safe.
Everybody who came.

620
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,120
In out of Jenna keep doing the
shit that she's.

621
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:40,560
Doing give a good whooping, I
think everybody who came in with

622
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:44,840
that whole entourage gonna die.
I mean, they need, we don't.

623
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,720
Even remember your name, Yeah.
They need to.

624
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:53,080
I just, yeah, they got on my
nerves so bad this episode.

625
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,800
I said, God, we don't have to do
this five more times with these.

626
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:02,600
People.
And then I googled how to make

627
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:08,200
methane from scratch.
I mean, I'm sure there's still

628
00:37:08,240 --> 00:37:11,760
libraries.
I'm sure they they literally

629
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:15,480
could make their own methane.
There's libraries that can teach

630
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,520
you how to do this because I
know y'all didn't.

631
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:21,280
I mean I'm sure y'all probably
burned some of the books but I

632
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:25,640
mean come on for real.
Again, a good spy could go in

633
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,040
there and get the information
out.

634
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,840
And see what they doing.
That's it.

635
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:37,120
Like see how the operation is
from collecting to machinery to

636
00:37:37,240 --> 00:37:39,120
output.
Yeah.

637
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:45,640
So and that's much easier 'cause
if anything.

638
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,280
All your people, they're in New
Babylon.

639
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,760
However many people y'all have,
'cause I don't think they've

640
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,680
given us a number.
You don't have one engineer in

641
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:58,320
that whole group.
You don't have one scientist.

642
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,640
You don't have one.
Which is, which is

643
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:05,600
understandable.
You may not, may you know, have

644
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:09,280
the smart people in your CRM had
all the sciences, Yeah.

645
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:13,400
So, you know, smart people may
not be in.

646
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:17,200
Your group, but even then going
back to world beyond all them

647
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,480
scientists, you don't think
somebody at some point figured

648
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:24,560
out how to make methane to make
'cause they had labs and and all

649
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,240
this brand equipment?
I mean, that was part of the

650
00:38:27,240 --> 00:38:30,680
CRM, so yes, I'm pretty sure
they did.

651
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:35,680
And they did not have to take
over someone else's area to do

652
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:36,560
that.
Right.

653
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:41,160
'Cause hell, even even
Alexandria figured out the solar

654
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,880
panels.
Yeah, yeah.

655
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,440
So they they have look, they
don't have to take over,

656
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,320
Michelle.
They just decided when folks

657
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,360
weren't doing what they supposed
to do, they just don't wipe them

658
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,520
all out.
Correct, correct.

659
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:59,280
I'm just I'm just saying now
like you could maybe waste a

660
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:03,680
couple of your people who again,
it's a spy get caught, but you

661
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:07,000
can get that information and go
find the location you want to

662
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,080
have right and turn power on,
right.

663
00:39:10,240 --> 00:39:14,000
I want to turn power on in in
New York City.

664
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:18,720
I would like to find some land
in Virginia and we can all have

665
00:39:18,720 --> 00:39:22,440
our own homes and a
neighborhood, a general store.

666
00:39:23,240 --> 00:39:26,400
Conscription.
If people don't want to join

667
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,200
your alliance, if people don't
want to join New Babylon, if

668
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:33,840
people don't want to be in your
army, just go and fend for

669
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,600
themselves.
Correct that.

670
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:40,640
There's literally a whole world
out there that's that's right

671
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:43,240
for the taking.
'Cause people survive to other

672
00:39:43,240 --> 00:39:44,600
places.
Right.

673
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:47,560
And then some of them may not
survive, and that's OK.

674
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:49,280
They don't have to be a part of
my group.

675
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,320
That part could what a general
bill say they would just go walk

676
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,720
across the God damn country and
wipe out all these towns.

677
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:58,320
So you know, it's communities
everywhere, right?

678
00:39:58,720 --> 00:40:01,280
They may be few and far between,
but they everywhere.

679
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,720
Hell, Rick and Michelle fall
people at Yellowstone.

680
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,400
So like, come on.
Right.

681
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:08,720
You know what I'm saying?
It's literally people

682
00:40:08,720 --> 00:40:12,480
everywhere.
So what are y'all talking about?

683
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:18,240
It's better to build with these
people and be like, oh, if we do

684
00:40:18,240 --> 00:40:20,120
this together we have a
community.

685
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,080
Then what?
What Jesus say you're we're

686
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,760
about to get a whole lot bigger,
let the world get bigger.

687
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,920
Y'all trying to wipe out people
that you cannot wipe out.

688
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:32,080
Especially if there were 5
million people in New York City

689
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,600
alone.
You think everybody died?

690
00:40:34,720 --> 00:40:35,680
No.
Right.

691
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:40,840
There are survivors and you
think they just going to let you

692
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:42,840
come over there and take what
they got?

693
00:40:43,720 --> 00:40:48,520
No, especially since you're not
dealing with just one group,

694
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,560
you're dealing with several
groups.

695
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,400
So one group might kind of let
you slide.

696
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:57,880
The other group is going to be
like, oh we out for blood, Y'all

697
00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:59,920
don't know what y'all are
dealing with over there.

698
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:03,520
That part but you go but you
don't try to take it.

699
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:07,080
You think it's OK?
You go Come on up.

700
00:41:07,240 --> 00:41:08,240
What do you say?
You walk over.

701
00:41:08,240 --> 00:41:09,360
You gonna live back?
Come.

702
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:14,160
On all I'm saying is this, when
there are two groups of people

703
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,840
in the episode and I'm looking
at the Croat like, you know

704
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:21,320
what, he don't really seem all
that bad, there's a problem.

705
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:25,600
That is, that is true.
That is true.

706
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:29,200
Croat is not trying to go
outside of Manhattan to bother

707
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,160
nobody.
He's like, Oh no, we can do

708
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:32,920
everything we need to do right
here.

709
00:41:33,240 --> 00:41:35,560
Have.
All the dead walkers I need.

710
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,840
If anybody comes over here, I
mean, hey, we might kill him,

711
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:42,440
but I mean.
Circle of life illogical.

712
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,800
He's logical.
We just had to outsource some

713
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:49,640
leadership skills.
We needed someone to, you know,

714
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,720
give us a, give us a
professional development on

715
00:41:52,720 --> 00:41:54,520
leadership skills.
Right.

716
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,280
But outside of that, he ain't,
he ain't lying.

717
00:41:58,520 --> 00:41:59,800
That's true.
He's not.

718
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,760
They they needed some
organization so he found someone

719
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,320
he felt would help with that
organization.

720
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:08,920
So.
So I mean he doing what in his

721
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:13,080
mind makes sense to him, because
remember even when the Croat

722
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,400
kill old girl, he didn't think
he did anything wrong.

723
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,040
So in his mind what are you
talking about?

724
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:21,160
Because he's.
Adjusting.

725
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:24,120
He's adjusting for what this new
world should be.

726
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:27,960
And that was something he said
in this episode that I really

727
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:30,600
started to think about because
he was like, you know, the old

728
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:33,160
world was broken.
It's dead.

729
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:38,960
We can create a new world and
honestly that doesn't sound like

730
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:43,000
a bad idea, especially if y'all
are trying to bring the old

731
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,240
world back by doing the same
shit.

732
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:47,280
But they have to make a new
world.

733
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:51,600
The world has literally changed,
but that's the problem with New

734
00:42:51,720 --> 00:42:55,800
Babylonians, 'cause even if you
tried to make the Old World

735
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,640
again, there are still
adjustments and things that you

736
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,440
could never do back in the old
World because of what you have

737
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:05,280
going on right now, right?
So there it will never go back.

738
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:08,160
You may put, you know, pull
pieces here and there, but it'll

739
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:09,600
never go back to the way that it
was.

740
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:14,080
And the problem is they keep
trying to put it back the way it

741
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:17,240
was.
Excuse me, how do you think

742
00:43:17,240 --> 00:43:19,760
y'all got here?
Thank you.

743
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:26,560
Just yeah, I just like I said,
new Babylon, new Babylon.

744
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:31,840
I just when I'm sitting here
rooting for the Croat that

745
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:36,200
there's a problem with your
group, the I mean, look.

746
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:40,120
'Cause we root for the bad guys,
but.

747
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,720
Then when you, when you sit here
and you look at that, OK, yes,

748
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:45,480
I'm, I'm gonna play devil's
advocate.

749
00:43:45,720 --> 00:43:47,440
But are they Croat?
That's the.

750
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,880
Thing yeah, the the Croat and
his group they have some

751
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:57,160
questionable methods yes, but in
the grand scheme of things, if

752
00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:02,480
you compare what we've seen them
do let me let me let me clarify

753
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:07,520
that what we have seen them do
compared to what we've seen

754
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:11,360
Alpha do compared to what we've
seen you know the Commonwealth

755
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:14,840
which Commonwealth wasn't really
that bad Lance was just an ass.

756
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:22,080
What we've seen the governor do
it's like comparatively

757
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,920
speaking, they really aren't
that bad.

758
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:27,760
They just they just want to keep
to themselves.

759
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:31,760
They want to make as much
methane as they want so that

760
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:35,240
they can power the city, so they
can get high, so they can have

761
00:44:35,240 --> 00:44:39,760
their Walker things.
They don't, if I remember

762
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:43,040
correctly from last season, they
don't really punish anyone

763
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:48,200
unless they commit like a crime.
But even then, it's not like

764
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:53,920
what what they did to this guy,
you know, except for that one

765
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,680
guy that the Croat stabbed
because he had a maggot in his

766
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:57,480
fool.
You know what?

767
00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,680
I might stab somebody in the
stomach too if I take a bite of

768
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:02,640
my burger and there's a maggot
there.

769
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:08,760
But other than that, it's yeah,
I just.

770
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:12,400
If you leave me alone, I'll
leave you alone and we will

771
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:15,000
handle well, right?
But you don't want to leave me

772
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:16,280
alone.
No, you don't.

773
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:20,280
Bothered.
Me, but they bout to fuck around

774
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:25,440
and find out 'cause Negan.
I won't say the old Negan is

775
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:29,720
completely back.
But one thing about Negan that I

776
00:45:29,720 --> 00:45:32,760
think we can all agree on.
Megan is a showman.

777
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:36,240
He is a chameleon.
He is going to do what he needs

778
00:45:36,240 --> 00:45:41,320
to do to survive.
Now, has he taken has he taken

779
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:43,160
that too far in the past?
Yes.

780
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:48,960
But we see with the the the last
couple of seasons of The Walking

781
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:52,160
Dead, with the first season of
Dead City, with this season,

782
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:54,360
this is not the person he wants
to be.

783
00:45:54,560 --> 00:46:01,040
Nikki spent six years locked up
in Alexandria to the point where

784
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:05,760
he wanted to die.
And here he's treating it like

785
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:08,400
it's every other day.
He's like, oh, OK, yeah, you

786
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:09,920
want this bucket of piece of
shit?

787
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:11,880
I eat your cockroach.
Really.

788
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:18,360
But this is where he is and he's
cool with it, right?

789
00:46:18,720 --> 00:46:21,400
He's like, you know what?
I can do this.

790
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:25,040
I don't want to do that.
I just got to become that person

791
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:26,640
again.
And y'all don't want him to

792
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,400
become that person again.
Let's be honest.

793
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:32,320
True.
'Cause if you look at it this

794
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:36,160
way, so he's in a crappy jail
with crappy food and he's like,

795
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,440
I'd rather be here.
And Alexandra, he had a good

796
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:40,520
sale.
He had food that would make sure

797
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:42,080
he was fed.
But.

798
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:45,000
You've never He had his little
buddies sitting there doing

799
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:46,440
homework with him.
Right, he did.

800
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,840
And and keep it in mind, you're
in a better situation there, but

801
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:55,720
you'd rather die than be you in
this crappy situation that you

802
00:46:55,720 --> 00:46:57,400
didn't run on you like, No, I
got it.

803
00:46:57,840 --> 00:46:59,440
Right.
Come on now.

804
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:04,240
So I I don't.
Think they can do is threaten

805
00:47:04,240 --> 00:47:06,640
his wife and child?
That's all they can do.

806
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:09,200
And that's where they made the
mistake.

807
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:11,320
Right.
That's where they made the

808
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:13,480
mistake, because *** was sitting
there.

809
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:16,040
They're sitting there like
courting him with the bottle of

810
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,120
gin and everything and he's just
sitting there.

811
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:20,640
Like look, we don't have this
conversation already.

812
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:23,480
This is why y'all have me locked
up because I already told y'all,

813
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:27,360
I don't want to do that.
The minute she mentioned wife

814
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:32,160
and child he kind of looked, but
when she called their names his

815
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:35,360
whole face changed.
I said oh y'all don't let him

816
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:40,960
out now, all right?
What you not going to do is.

817
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:45,080
Threaten that wife and child.
So I think one, we're probably

818
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:48,720
really about to see how Negan
feels about Annie and Joshua

819
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:52,480
because like we said, we didn't
we didn't get that build up in

820
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:56,000
in the The Walking Dead.
We just all of a sudden, oh, you

821
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:59,000
married and oh all of a sudden
she's pregnant.

822
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:01,400
We didn't get any of that build
up.

823
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:05,080
And then when you bring us into
this story, oh, he's already

824
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:09,560
sent them off because he's put
himself in danger and he doesn't

825
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:14,240
want to endanger them again from
the new Babylonian people

826
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:17,360
because what?
One of the New Babylonian

827
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:23,760
people, excuse me, one of the
New Babylonian sheriffs was part

828
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:26,120
of the group that attacked and
raped her.

829
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:32,760
So yeah, New Babylonians.
I'm.

830
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:36,280
I'm waiting.
Let let them walk up in there

831
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:40,280
with me again and see what
they're gonna get.

832
00:48:40,560 --> 00:48:43,120
He's gonna tear both groups
apart, so wait.

833
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:48,120
Wait till he see Pearly again.
He's gonna be like before like

834
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:49,320
for that.
I'm gonna see.

835
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:53,320
Yeah, he.
I I feel like both both groups

836
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:57,720
need to be concerned.
Absolutely, absolutely.

837
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:00,760
Because the New Babylonians you
coming to you coming to take

838
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:02,000
something that don't belong to
you.

839
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,720
OK, Negan has been on both sides
of that playbook.

840
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:08,840
So he knows what to do in all
situations but the Dhamma.

841
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:12,320
You threaten this man's wife and
child and and, and you've

842
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:15,320
already you've talked to people
who know him.

843
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:21,560
You got the information from
Herschel about, you know, who he

844
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:24,000
was and what he did.
That was that was one of the

845
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:27,080
reasons why you wanted him was
because of the stuff that

846
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:30,800
Herschel told you.
But obviously Herschel doesn't

847
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:34,240
know the first hand accounts.
So he's only giving you a muted

848
00:49:34,240 --> 00:49:36,600
version of what this man is
capable of.

849
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:39,080
And you still want to go after
his wife and child.

850
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:44,680
Oh, I'm when I say Team Negan at
this point, give it to him.

851
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:47,920
Give him hell.
I want to see it because they

852
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:52,360
all going to deserve it.
Leave folks alone, let folks

853
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:55,000
live their lives.
Mind your business.

854
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:59,760
Y'all got all this space, all
this country.

855
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:06,200
Literally all y'all's groups can
probably go stay in a separate

856
00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:08,440
state and not have to bother
nobody.

857
00:50:08,840 --> 00:50:12,720
Some of these states take 9
hours to get from 11 end to the

858
00:50:12,720 --> 00:50:15,000
other.
Y'all got some space?

859
00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:19,240
Yeah, you do.
Y'all got some space, and if you

860
00:50:19,240 --> 00:50:23,560
can't make the methane, learn
how to play, play with some

861
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:30,320
stuff, figure it out.
Or, you know, go to them and be

862
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:33,800
like, hey, OK, look, y'all over
there on the island, That's

863
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:35,600
cool.
We just wanna know how y'all do

864
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:38,040
what y'all do.
And then we gonna take what

865
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,240
y'all teachers.
We gonna go where the hell over

866
00:50:40,240 --> 00:50:42,760
here and y'all don't ever have
to see us again.

867
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:48,840
It could work.
It could work, but no, humans

868
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:51,560
gotta be stupid.
They gotta, they gotta be in

869
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:55,480
control.
They gotta, you know, take over

870
00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:58,880
folks stuff.
They have to, they have to

871
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:01,960
colonize because let's let's be
honest, that's, that's what

872
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:03,720
you're doing.
That's what you're doing.

873
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:09,680
So I, yeah, I'm not, I'm not
feeling the, the New

874
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:11,760
Babylonians.
I'm, I'm gonna keep saying it.

875
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:15,760
That's gonna be my catch phrase.
No New Babylonians.

876
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:22,320
No, we don't want them.
So anyway, I think we've gotten

877
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:25,160
all the complaining.
I was there anything that we

878
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:28,760
forgot?
Because I was like, I just want

879
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:30,920
to get all this out so people
know from.

880
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:33,160
John, I'm looking.
Where we stand.

881
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:36,400
So we don't like the New
Babylonians.

882
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:39,280
We are in agreement of that.
Yeah, correct.

883
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:42,080
We are in agreement that we
don't really care for the Dhamma

884
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:45,160
and her people and what she's
trying to do because you trying

885
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:48,200
to unite people under an
alliance but you want somebody

886
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:50,280
else to be the face for you to
do.

887
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:54,280
Right.
And that, yeah, now I did love

888
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:58,080
Negan's whole thing in the
church.

889
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:01,560
I did.
It was corny at the beginning.

890
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:04,400
It was because it was one of
those things where I have to do

891
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:07,960
this something to do it, but I
just don't really care.

892
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:10,560
Right.
So I'm kind of dialing this in

893
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:14,080
until someone want to question
like we go follow you.

894
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:18,000
We got Jordan the group.
Oh, OK.

895
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:20,520
Let me test the waters here,
Right.

896
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:23,920
It is batted by your head.
You better move it.

897
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:28,080
I don't have to move it.
The button that electrocute, I

898
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:32,760
was like, oh Lord, why did y'all
give that to him 'cause he's

899
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:36,320
gonna be out of control now that
that right, this is it.

900
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:42,600
So I I will say this, the Croat
and the Dhamma, I think both of

901
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:46,760
them need to watch their backs
because they think they have

902
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:51,360
Negan on a leash and they have
no idea what they just let.

903
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:54,760
I don't think the coat thinks
that he was quite excited.

904
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:58,920
Like, I think he was really
excited when Negan did that, but

905
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:02,960
I think he knows deep down,
like, this can go either way.

906
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:06,720
I've seen what this man actually
will do.

907
00:53:07,240 --> 00:53:10,000
Yeah.
So we're just going to take a

908
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,360
risk here.
He's like I can he, he's like I

909
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:19,120
can serve under either right
person, which is sad.

910
00:53:20,720 --> 00:53:23,880
Yeah, but you know, he ain't
wrapped too tight, so no, he's

911
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:26,120
not.
He's understandable.

912
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:30,480
OK, do we have anything else to
say about this episode?

913
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:35,960
I can't wait to get to the other
episodes.

914
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:39,840
And yes, we have actually all,
we've only watched the first

915
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:45,760
episode because as I stated on
our social media, like Casey was

916
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:49,600
out of town or out of the
country really to celebrate her

917
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:52,640
50th.
And then she came back and then

918
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:56,680
I left to go celebrate my 50th.
And while I was gone, Michelle

919
00:53:56,680 --> 00:54:02,160
and Anthony celebrated their
25th wedding anniversary.

920
00:54:02,800 --> 00:54:05,920
So they were out of the country.
So we all just been traipsing

921
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:08,960
around the place.
So we all were like, OK, look,

922
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:11,880
we're just going to go ahead and
just watch the first episode,

923
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:13,720
talk about it, and then we'll
pick it up.

924
00:54:13,720 --> 00:54:17,480
So I have no idea what's going
to happen in this season no

925
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:20,480
idea.
I have seen two potential

926
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:24,880
spoilers one of them I probably
feel like OK, yes, that was

927
00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:27,240
definitely a spoiler.
This definitely happened the

928
00:54:27,240 --> 00:54:30,920
other one I'm not quite so sure.
So you know we're.

929
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:36,160
So this is what I have.
Charlie Bird, she can go real

930
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:38,720
quick.
She's going to be what would be

931
00:54:38,720 --> 00:54:41,920
nice if she is bitten by Walker
food.

932
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:43,880
Walker food.
That would be lovely.

933
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:46,440
And then she's thrown into the
pit, right?

934
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:48,600
That's what I was going to say.
Thrown into the pit.

935
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:53,240
That would be great.
What did you say his name was?

936
00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:56,280
Boogle, Brugal.
Brugal.

937
00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:59,640
Yeah, I just like him 'cause
he's from Sons of Anarchy, so

938
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:01,760
we'll just see what happens.
I just love his facial

939
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:04,040
expressions.
Yeah, he was sitting there

940
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:07,520
looking at *** like.
And then when they were doing

941
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:09,720
stuff, his, his guy was about to
get up.

942
00:55:09,720 --> 00:55:13,600
He's like, no, just sit down.
Let's see how this play.

943
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:16,960
Let's see how this plays out.
Let's see how this plays out.

944
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:24,240
You know Maggie, Yeah.
I mean, I like I said.

945
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:28,360
Well, what would I don't.
I don't.

946
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:33,520
OK, so Maggie and Negan gonna
get back together again.

947
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:36,520
But maybe, maybe we really will
see.

948
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:39,760
Annie.
I'm not thinking we will.

949
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:44,200
I'm just making some theories.
Maybe they they do come in, and

950
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:47,040
Maggie helps.
Maggie helps save them.

951
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:50,520
No.
If you're gonna mention her,

952
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:53,400
she's showing up.
So I feel like she's coming in

953
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:54,480
New York.
So.

954
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:57,200
But Right.
And Maggie and Negan gonna work

955
00:55:57,200 --> 00:56:01,160
together to save.
His family, yeah.

956
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:06,960
And maybe, just maybe, Maggie
can finally get some closure and

957
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:10,880
just let that go.
But this is just my I'm gonna

958
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:13,480
say this early.
There has to be something in

959
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:18,000
that final episode that will
either because they keep going

960
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:22,680
on the same this cycle.
So there has to be something in

961
00:56:22,680 --> 00:56:26,440
this third episode that's gonna
either try them to Darrell back

962
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:31,400
to the Commonwealth or something
from fear. 3rd episode you made

963
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:33,240
third season.
Third season, third season,

964
00:56:33,720 --> 00:56:35,880
third season.
So there has to be something to

965
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:38,680
wrap.
You understand what I'm saying?

966
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:40,680
Because because what?
What else?

967
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:44,600
Right, because I mean it's it's
the same and.

968
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:49,960
Carol are still in play so.
Yeah, but like even with Darrell

969
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:53,400
and Carol, OK, y'all can't keep
just traipsing across Europe.

970
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:56,160
You got children you need to go
home and tend to.

971
00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:59,920
So you keep telling everybody
those your those, your children,

972
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:02,000
Uncle Daryl, you need to take
your ass home.

973
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:08,080
Yeah, 'cause you left their ass.
But they had, I believe, I

974
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:10,640
believe that show has been
renewed for a fourth season.

975
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:16,120
So I, I don't know.
I don't know.

976
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:20,720
But OK.
Any final thoughts on Dance City

977
00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:27,760
Season 2 Episode 1?
Yes, I'm gonna struggle, but I'm

978
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:32,200
gonna make it because a lot of a
lot of things that we have

979
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:36,320
issues with is that writing.
I just feel like we're just

980
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:41,200
making this because we like
these two characters and we like

981
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:44,200
their conflict.
But take the time and really

982
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:47,280
write it.
Yeah, but you're right.

983
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:50,080
Some of the some of the
decisions people are making, it

984
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:52,920
is not making any sense.
No.

985
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:56,880
And the even the whole thing
with Maggie and Negan for me

986
00:57:56,880 --> 00:58:02,600
doesn't make sense because you
handled it so beautifully at the

987
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:07,480
end of the show with them having
to work together with Negan,

988
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:11,800
having to, you know, with Negan
trying to take all the burden

989
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:16,400
off of Maggie, with Negan
actually apologizing to her for

990
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:19,920
what he did.
Like you did such a beautiful

991
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:22,320
job with that.
And then like we said, for

992
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:26,080
Season 1 of Dead City, to go
right back into that to the

993
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:30,680
point where you have now damaged
your relationship with your

994
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:32,720
child because you can't let that
go.

995
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:35,880
You took you took too big a step
backwards.

996
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:39,840
So now I need y'all to kind of
bring it back and then move it

997
00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:42,440
forward.
So if if we're going to get this

998
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:44,880
whole thing with Megan, Megan,
if we're going to get a couple

999
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:49,800
more seasons, I need them to be
at a point where they are at

1000
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:54,240
peace with their past and with
each other.

1001
00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:58,600
I'm not saying y'all got to be
the best of friends, but y'all

1002
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:02,280
do work well together.
When y'all have all of the other

1003
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:05,040
stuff out, you make a great
team.

1004
00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:06,880
You get shit done for your
people.

1005
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:08,600
That's what I want to see more
of.

1006
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:12,240
And that's what that would that
would be great.

1007
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:16,400
Like them working as a team to
get through something right,

1008
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:21,000
understanding where through
through that process they are

1009
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:23,120
that she is healing.
Yeah.

1010
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:26,400
Yeah.
Because he understands.

1011
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:29,760
You already got him
understanding how that feels

1012
00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:32,680
when him and Annie was on their
knees.

1013
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:35,880
So he gets it.
He gets the other side,

1014
00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:40,640
hopefully she gets what he was
saying because again y'all, this

1015
00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:42,800
all started when they killed
that out.

1016
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:46,840
But we're not, we're not going
to start that conversation.

1017
00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:51,360
Look, if you want to hear us
talk more about this, we will be

1018
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:56,080
having two panels discussing
separately Maggie and Megan at

1019
00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:59,760

taking place July 18th through

1020
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:02,880
