Maggie's return was so flat and Beta deserved a huge moment. His death was so...sudden/abrupt

What was the thing with his vision all about? Also why do people now not cover their faces with blood when disguising themselves?

I liked it! After it took us 6 episodes to get through the final war against the Saviours the fact that this took one episode is a nice change from the usual tbh, especially considering Alpha was already dead and her story was essentially over. TWD has a thing about stretching out certain storylines so the Whisperers being killed off like this was nice and succinct for once. The episode itself didn’t feel too fast paced either.

 

 

O man... I just watched it, It was brilliant, some of it, especially Maggie's return she really didn't have much to do in it to be honest, and who is that sidekick or bodyguard, as I remember she left on her own. It didn't really explain Michonne was missing, unless I blinked and missed it.

 

The cliff-hanger was a bit crazy and all over the place to be honest.

Michonne had a leaving episode I think it was episode 14/15?

Yeah Michonne left a little while back, episode 13. She goes to an island with Virgil where he's supposedly giving her weapons for Oceanside but he tricked her, drugged her, and a lot of the episode is hallucinating a "what if?" flashback where she never saved Andrea years ago. The alternate timeline has her eventually joining the Saviour's and becoming one of Negan's trusted allies to the point where she is responsible for killing Glenn and Abraham. Then she is hit by one of Daryl's arrows I believe and Rick kills her. Makes her think about the decisions she makes and when she finds a pair of Ricks boots and an ipod he scratched into she sets out to go find him - and hasn't been heard from since. Presumably she'll appear in the Rick spin off movies

 

As for Maggie she set off on her own (with baby obviously) to join the other settlement who gave them the original blueprints for the windmill etc. a long time ago. I figure the crazy ninja guy either lives at Maggies new home or they met them along the way

I loved the alternative history episode for Michonne just seeing the old characters for a bit was class

I thought the 6 extra Bonus episodes were straight after the finale this week - anyone know when they are being shown?

Early 2021 afaik

Starts again this evening on Fox!

Spoiler bc it hasn’t aired everywhere just yet

 

 

I mean... it’s not the greatest of episodes but it fills in a lot of gaps around Maggie and what she’s been up to over the years. The main takeaway was that she (obviously) still hates Negan and has raised young Hershel to hate the man who killed his dad also. Which is an entirely valid thing honestly it’ll just be interesting to see how it plays out. But yeah nothing happened that we didn’t already know/expect :lol: Seeing young Hershel was adorable though he looks so much like Glenn it hurts

 

This week was mostly a Maggie episode with Daryl and next week is supposedly (from reviewers info) a Daryl episode with Carol. Hopefully a bit more ambitious than this weeks but we’ll see

 

Yeh I enjoyed seeing Maggie back and the links to the characters like Glenn, hershel and Beth(im currently re watching from the start) and how that story will play out. Cant wait to see the episode with Negans origins!!

That episode this week was fantastic!

 

Loving these character driven special episodes and we get to fill in the blanks from the time jump.

Monday’s episode was fantastic - great part by Robert Patrick!

First episode in the history of the Walking Dead there was no ‘In Memorial’ in the episode 😂

I haven’t watched it yet but supposedly this weeks is one of the worst since Angela took over as showrunner. A bonus episode of basically just filler Carol making soup and talking to Dog

Yeh saw the promo clip for it with the fork in the road. I like these bonus episodes though a lot of character focus which is good to see. The Maggie one would be 6/10 for me, the Carol/Daryl would be 8/10 and the Erin/Father Gabriel would be 9/10! The Princess one last week was the best though full 10/10 for me with the mental health aspect meaning we aren’t sure where she’s at, brilliant stuff!

Yeh was a bit of a filler episode but I actually enjoyed it a lot. I liked that we actually see Alexandria a lot more than usual and realise they have lives which they go on with amongst all the e fighting.

 

Fun fact the red bucket Carol collected the stuff for soup was a link to the first series which Amy used to collect fish from at the Atlanta camp. Love things like that!

 

Also next weeks series finale is the one we’ve been waiting for - the NEGAN formation episode!! Loved the sneak peak as well, won’t spoil it. It’s also an hour and a half long!!

Outside of Dog being an absolute star, that was EASILY one of the worst episodes in many years. Absolutely pitiful.

I enjoyed it more than I thought it would but yeah nothing special. I guess it’s an insight into Alexandrian life which, as it turns out, is pretty boring when there’s no villain :lol: It was nice seeing Carol’s resourcefulness and survival skills in effect - but this also could’ve been two 7 minute webisodes of “Carol’s Soup” and “Daryl’s Bike”
