Oh my! Gasoline going bad? They are already making alcohol. They don't need no stinking gasoline.

Glad I pulled the pin on this one. Have zero desire to go back either.
Technology has been EVERYWHERE on The Walking Dead but they have never used it. Most of their technology dates from the 1600s. Other communities are clearly able to use technology as they are flying helicopters.Yappi, Eugene was right to want scavenge the tech. There is a lot of stuff that could be repurposed from something like that. It would be crammed with electronics & materials unavailable anywhere else.

For the advanced communities, salvaging that technology might make sense. For this group, they remind me of this scene from "2001: A Space Odyssey"
So, is Morgan dead .... it did not look goof for him the last time we saw him.....
Solid episode to kick off the new season. I liked the narrative structure where each segment had a title and the pieces all fit together to move the story along.

Purplemojo, I agree about the sea. I especially liked their collecting salt which would be of high value in that world. I wasn't as enthused about the phalanx as it wouldn't be much use against human adversaries the way they ran it and against the Dead there seems like better alternatives. My biggest problem is that the phalanx requires stout men and the WD version, while nicely PC & diverse, would have been cut to pieces by a real phalanx organized correctly.
And yes, the focus would be on gun powder. Even if they had to use muskets it would be a huge step above spears & a phalanx.
Mag see the first thing I thought of when I saw the phalanx was “lotr is going to love that.”
You’ve always wanted them to be more organized and almost military like.
I thought it was a badass opening.

So did you like this seasons FTWD Vamp2syd? I stuck with it even though at times it was hard. Part of it are the Morgan & Daniel characters which are two of my favorite characters in ether Dead series.
And while it often didn't work I thought the producers attempts to experiment in how the story was told was interesting (and at times distracting). In some ways FTWD is one of the weirdest shows on TV. It doesn't seem to know what it wants to be which in an odd way works.
Don't get me wrong I liked the idea of it and yes this episode did show the communities getting more organized AND developing the coherent military needed in a world of flesh eating Zombies AND crazy homicidal human groups.
The best part of the show though was the titled narrative structure. I think this provided needed discipline for the writers to move the story along efficiently. Opening different segments with a title worked for me. I'm hoping they stick with this structure.
Did I miss what New Mexico meant?

I liked the 2nd episode which provided a decent backstory for the skin face people. It was interesting to see how Alpha & beta hooked up.
Do you buy into the idea that Beta was a popular singer before the apocalypse? Apparently he was on one of those album cover Daniel discovered recently in FTWD.
If that's true it sailed right over my head! Even as a kid I sucked at Easter Egg hunting!
The sense I had from the episode was that he was more of a nut case who was now thriving in the post apocalyptic world.
Watching Negan infiltrate the Whisperers should be fun.
