I have a problem with that tiger scene, too. It's like a child wrote it. The tiger saving Carl a literal .5 second away from a bat killing him. It's the Calvary to the rescue without a moment to spare cliche.

And the garbage people are the worst idea ever for the show. We are supposed to be about two years into the zombie apocalypse (time supposedly goes by slower for them than the seven years for we the viewers) and those people have already developed a different culture, and the beginning of a new language.

Not that far fetched. I've seen videos of tigers hunting. Tigers are exceptional hunters. They use stealth. It's completely realistic for a tiger to sneak up on its prey without they prey noticing especially a human prey. Other animals like deer have highly evolved senses to where they take off running or look around even if they get a light whiff of a predator or hear something being a little too close for comfort. But a human would be a sitting duck.

my issue with the tiger (or maybe i missed a scene where they trained it) is how it detects the negans and trash people?

Initially (when the two sides were separate but rushing toward each other) it might decide that anyone its pal Ezekiel was going after had to be bad. But once the battle turned into a general melee, there'd be no way it could distinguish between the sides. And all that gunfire would send it into a frenzy. Releasing a tiger in the middle of a firefight would be an incredibly bad idea. People on both sides would get mauled.

Maybe the garbage people are what's left of some wacky religious cult from before the outbreak. Otherwise, they seem like a group you'd encounter on Walking Dead: The Next Generation. Thirty years after the apocalypse. It would've been funny if when Jadis made that remark about laying with Rick, Michonne asked why her people all talk like Yoda.

Spoiler!!!!

The tiger gets eaten by zombies.

That's what I was thinking too, lol. I do think it was a lil far fetched. I don't think it was the best finale, but overall I enjoyed it mainly because Rick finally got strong again and told Negan where to go.

That's a minor botch in the show. In the comic, Ezekiel goes off on his own chasing the bad guys with Shiva. So it wasn't hard for Shiva to distinguish between her master and the enemy. After she killed the enemy, she attacked a group of zombies that were approaching Ezekiel. The zombies eat her. She saved his life.

The Tiger saving Rick and Combat Carl is easily the most ridiculous moment of the entire 7 seasons.

It was poor but my vote goes to Glenn's magic dumpster...

Agreed though re the garbage patch kids' language, that's just plain daft.
