Overdue notice

Oh yes, the latest recap of The Walking Dead is super-late.  I don't really have any excuses other than I just haven't been able to make myself do it yet.  WHY OH WHY IS IT AN EXTRA-LONG EPISODE?  There is absolutely no reason for it - they easily could have cut it down to a regular length episode (and still not much would have happened).  What could they have cut out?  All the "artsy" close-ups of people's faces.  Shots of characters grimly driving cars.  And Aaron/Enid's entire storyline. 

Here it is:  Aaron and Enid are going to Oceanside because Aaron thinks he can convince Oceanside to join the fight against Negan even though not so long ago, the Alexandrians raided their community and took ALL their guns and ammunition.  To sweeten the deal, Enid stops at a distillery - that somehow has not been entirely looted since the zombie apocalypse happened (which is bullshit, because no one is going to leave a distillery unplundered) - so they can load up a truck full of hooch.  They park outside Oceanside and that night, when Aaron confronts an Oceansider lurking nearby, Enid shoots her.  It turns out to be the community's matriarch so I'm pretty sure that's not going to help Aaron and Enid's bargaining position.  So what was the point?

Recap up tonight.  Promise.
