Smile everyone, smile! TWD is back! This episode was all about feeling fully alive. Rick's journey is not easy. He knows this is not living. He's the walking dead. Michonne said it "We're the ones who live". Being hopeless and powerless doesn't make him feel alive. Michonne told him to smile because they were alive. But Rick wasn't, not until the very end when he found out that new community. Now he's is. There's hope now.
That scene with the wire and the herd of walkers, holy shit. Greatest walker massacre I remember. It was magical. As soon as I saw the herd I was freaking out about how awesome this could be. It made my day. Over 300+ confirmed kills. Rick and Michonne 1 - Walkers 0. Honest question now, does it really count as dead if they just slide their torsos?
This episode was all about getting an army to face the Saviors. That's all Rick wants. That's why he wasn't afraid at the end. He needs people and that new group is gonna make it. It was a quick episode but it had time for character development. I really love Rick's journey from total submission to that hope at the end.
And Gabriel at the very beginning. I've got two options. The easy one is that he's been threatened or coerced by that person in the car. He went from being calm to being anxious and nervous. I don't really think he has betrayed them. And Two: maybe he left to find a new community and that is the one Rick's group found at the end. That's why Rick smiled, because he knew what Gabriel did.
How the hell does Negan have the best lines even when he's not in the episode? "Without Fat Joey, Skinny Joey is now just Joey. So it's a goddamn tragedy". I also loved Rick's reaction to Shiva like "yeah...the tiger".
Why is Rosita so bitchy with Sasha and Morgan? She's the reason Olivia's dead and that the Saviors took Eugene. She gave Sasha the now-we're-cool look last episode. So it doesn't make sense.
Anyways, pretty solid episode. Having Morgan foreshadowing locking Negan was pretty cool, too.
