The Bad Things from TWD 902

  1. Depending on The Hilltop. You can’t blame Maggie for not wanting to give away her community’s supplies when they aren’t getting anything in return. And it’s quite ballsy of both Rick and Michonne to continually push her to give to The Sanctuary and not offer her other things in return. Trade needs to happen, not just donations.
  2. A definite divide. They might all be working on the bridge, but that doesn’t mean they are all on the same page. The fight for water involved The Sanctuary, The Kingdom, and wherever Daryl is these days. Until they all feel like one group, stuff like this is going to keep happening among the survivors.
  3. The blame game. Whether the walkie was truly dead or if that member of The Saviors just didn’t want to follow orders, Daryl didn’t even wait to get a good explanation before unleashing a beating on the man who was supposed to draw the walkers away from the lumber site. It is things like this which will continue to divide the survivors and put the future in jeopardy.
  4. Losing an arm. With that log falling on Aaron’s arm, the result was a crushed and bloody mess with skin torn right off his body. Enid acted fast and well to amputate, but it is starting to seem like Aaron is either cursed or just never destined to be happy. Hopefully, that changes in the future.
  5. Negan’s not giving up. You’d think months behind bars would change his temperament, but it definitely hasn’t. The former leader of The Saviors is still taunting Rick as much as he used to when playing nice might be the better option…that is, IF he ever wants to see the outside of that cell.
