OUCH
Episode 4 has been the most painful so far.
But when I say ‘painful’, I don’t necessarily mean for me. So here comes some context…
As far as I can make out, The Plan is this…
Step One
Scare/annoy Negan (and anyone else in Sanctuary), before surrounding the place with walkers (just to make sure no-one gets in or out)
Step Two
Take out any Saviour outposts, to make sure they can’t come to the aid of the people in Sanctuary, or attack Rick from behind
Step Three
Go back to Sanctuary to finish the job
As far as plans go, the theory of it is pretty solid.
But it is only a plan…it needs people to carry it out.
And that is where it can get messy.
Here is what got messy…
Step One
Gabriel got stuck in Sanctuary and Gregory escaped
Step Two
- Jesus decided to take prisoners, Tara and Morgan disagreed with that
- Jesus and Morgan fought, Morgan nearly lost his sanity and stormed off in a huff
- Several Alexandrians (I think it was mostly Alexandrians in the same group as Rick) were injured or killed (leaving others grieving)
- Gregory showed up at Hilltop
- Jesus arrived at Hilltop, with his prisoners in tow
- The Kingdom took the biggest blow of any group yet
I hope The Plan has some leeway built into it, for if things got messy like that. Or Rick has a backup plan of some sort.
Because people are clearly:
- showing some interest in their own agendas, which may not mesh with The Plan
- getting distracted
- getting completely disheartened, so far as to lose all interest in fighting
I really hope Rick wasn’t relying on all those people being there for Step Three, because it’s starting to look like not all of them will be.
Not that we’re even close to Step Three yet.
Well, I guess the writers couldn't make things
Best get settled in for the next 4 episodes (*Yawns*). It could be a very bumpy ride.

I'm starting to despair about this season so far.
As much as I love the show, it's been boring and repetitive for the first four episodes... quite an achievement making war boring.
I feel the same way Rooh, never thought i'f actually say this but they seem to be dragging things out too much now with little silly mistakes happening.
If anyone had been through what Rick has been through at the hands of Negan, there is no way he would not have killed Negan when he had the chance, to me that just pretty much killed the show for me.
Saying that though, i will still be watching tonight lol
