Please use this thread to talk about episode discussions.  I will check with Nerdy to see if she can grant me more powers to make child boards, etc so we can organize it better.

I watched. I came here for the chat, but it wasn't open and no one was here. I thought it was okay. It was obviously a set up episode. I just thought that it was oh so predictable. Of course, that guy was going to die, they weren't getting home, and Carol was going to be gone when Daryl got back.

I will open Chat up on Sundays.   Set an alarm on my phone and everything.   🙂

I didn't see your post so I didn't come yesterday. I will next week. Hopefully,  others will also. Thanks. 🙂

I was surprised uncle was smiling so hard with no fear when he opened the ribbon, then when his man took the ribbons off the pigs, I began suspect that the "lottery" was rigged.

I have never been to Spain. I enjoyed the scenery. It is beautiful.

Loved Episode 3, even though, let's face it, that was not a town in Galicia.  Galicia is green, wet, cold (even in summer).  I know the production is going for a Spaghetti Western look, and that they filmed outside Segovia (in Central Spain), but it's like shooting in Arizona and pretending it's Ireland because you want the whole thing to have a "Cowboy" look.  It just makes no sense.  Anyhow . . .

I really enjoyed episode 2. The young lovers running away and their fear of being torn apart was moving. The whole tense dynamic of that community felt realist. It felt like they were really trying to do the best they could to survive. Giving up one young girl didn't feel like a huge price to pay for safety or resources even if they broke the hearts of their parents. I get that. It isn't like Negan trying humiliate and brutally oppress them, but it is insidious, destroying their sense of community as it tries to maintain the façade of happiness.. I was surprised uncle was smiling so hard with no fear when he opened the ribbon, then when his man took the ribbons off the pigs, I began suspect that the "lottery" was rigged.

Daryl trying to stop Carol from speaking her mind at the meal was hilarious. He clearly wants to stay out of the drama. Just leave and fix the boat. Although I don't know how he and Carol who don't know how to sail could possibly make their way back to the U.S. alive. I hope Daryl threw the bodies of all those men into the cage with the walkers.

I said this to my husband and he said "that was a motor boat, this is a sail boat, completely different".  I'm like - Ok, Captain Ahab, calm down before you harpoon the couch.

When I logged into chat, @hoogie was the only one there and he was literally talking to himself.     I was on my phone and it kept logging me out of chat, sorry if I disappeared mid-convo hoogs!
I didn't even catch that about the pigs, that seems very feasible! 

Spain does look gorgeous.  I love the different color palettes they use in this series. 

This episode really highlighted Daryl & Carol's differences when it comes to their shared values of protecting the vulnerable from abuse.  Carol is more uncompromising when it comes to protecting the innocent. She will destabilize everything if she has to. She acts from her trauma. Daryl is a bit more pragmatic, he weighs the risk.  Maybe the line-up situation has him thinking: "if we stop this, do we doom everyone else?" 

I liked it.  I do wish we'd start moving from "this is what we have to do to survive" themes to "this is how we rebuild society" themes but I don't know if we'll ever see that.
