TWD / "Something They Need" / Air-date: 26 March 2017 / *SPOILER WARNING!* Everybody seems to be workin’ on "Maggie’s Farm" at Hilltop! (...except Gregory, of course, who’s still skulking about, doing his best, “Dr. Smith” impersonation!) -We all know what he’s up to, (...except Maggie!) and she plays nice until they are both attacked by a couple of walkers and she's forced to save his life! Apparently, Sasha's assault on The Savior's compound was a complete failure, as we find her cooling her heels in Daryl & Dwight’s old room over there on, "Easy Street!" (...even NEGAN understands it can't be beat!) -She makes an impression on monkey-boy with her, “Beach-ball-sized-lady-nuts” and although he gives her his best pitch, Sasha for some reason is standoffish! LOL! Later... Eugene provides her with a pillow and a confession… and a deadly escape? Rick, Michonne, Coral and Enid + a small group of Alexandrian's embark on the journey to take Oceanside and it’s guns... But Natania takes Tara as a hostage until both communities realize that they have two very aggressive common enemies… But no matter. Natania's word is law and Rick & Tara feel forced to simply take Oceanside's weapons. (...and leave Tara's new potential girlfriend's butt behind!) In the end, "Team-Rick" & Tara both flip Oceanside the collective bird! LOL! -They all walk off together into the sunset together, with their eyes firmly on the prize... ...and that's all she wrote.

Ha! Gregory did remind me a lot of Dr. Smith from Lost in Space! Especially when he ran up to the walker saying, "I'll take care of it". Then when he got close went "Ick, you take care of it"! Enjoyed Maggie pointing out in a loud voice, "He's OK, he never killed one before"! Loved the Barnacle Walkers at Oceanside! I'm glad we got through Oceanside pretty quick. For a group that is so skittish of outsiders, they certainly have very weak security. Tara sneaks right into Granny Oceanside's house! Rick, why did you waste some of your dynamite just to intimidate the Ladies? And when did Daryl and Jesus learn to set charges? I feel everyone did a good job...Negan's scenes with Sasha were some of his best this season, Even Gregory and Tara's scenes were pretty good. (Damn, Tara looks even bigger now than she did in the first half of the season). You could tell from Sasha's reaction to getting the poison pill that her plan was to get a weapon to use against Negan, not to kill herself. Too bad they didn't show her capture. And Dwight surrendered to Rosita....interesting. And Daryl is ready to kill him!
All in all, not a 180 degree turn around improvement of the show, but enough to get us to a promising season finale.

i feel like it might be a mistake to have Maggie begin to assert herself so much so early. assuming they do the comic thing of having Gregory pop up to side with Negan outside the Savior compound, other Toppers going along with it will feel less believable.

I feel that Maggie HAS backed off this season since her last major confrontation with Gregory. Many Toppers are looking to her as a Leader, but she is not actively challenging. (Jesus has been more so). She can't, since she is still "in hiding" and needs Gregory to cover for her. That will all change when the war starts. Gregory may not last as long as he did in the comic, since this Gregory is already going to the Sanctuary
