There are big revelations packed into the latest episode of The Walking Dead.
Here is our review!
ThisWalking Deadreview contains spoilers.
As predicted for weeks and in a reveal that surprised absolutely no one, Glenn is alive.
The plot armor is intact.
No, the show did not take a risk.
A punch line on a tired gimmick.
Thats all Ill say on the matter.
Wait…I said positives, right?
I really enjoyed the end of the episode, as good and bad things happened simultaneously.
The tower fell as balloons floated up in the sky.
It wasThe Walking Deadgetting poetic, and the scene really worked.
I thought the moments with Rick were real highlights tonight.

Remember when the promos pitted Rick and Morgan against each other?
A red herring if Ive ever seen one.
The just Solomon of the new world.
And Morgan has served as proof all season that a violent man can change, no matter his sins.
I mean, I guess thats what happens when a leader is at the height of his power.
He underestimates or overlooks those hes wronged on his way to the top.
Rick should see Ron coming from a mile away, but hes got bigger fish to fry, e.g.
keeping the wall intact and getting his people home.
(I bet we all know how its going to turn out.)
Because thats the essence of his character.
No matter what happens to him, he always comes back and saves people.
And thats why we can watch him murder people week after week and still love him.
Or Daryl, for that matter, or any of these survivors.
Thats what sets them apart.
Its unfortunate that these characters cant keep any place safe for very long.
Do I think its the end of Alexandria?
But will there be casualties?
Expect to say goodbye to one or two characters next week.
And if were lucky, maybe even several.
Just as long as its not a Glenn fake-out again.
