The Walking Dead returns for its final eight episodes of season 5.
Here is our review of the midseason premiere!
Beth was buried, as Maggie mourned.
Those first few minutes were about letting the past go and moving forward.
Finally, the group has said goodbye to Georgia.
And thus we begin the next phase of this shows life.
I was taken by surprise at first.
Its the resilience of the group thats at the forefont here.
Noah, this isnt the end.
But resilience walks a very interesting thin line in this universe.
Its become obvious this season that good guys like Rick and Glenn are finally hitting the breaking point.
Thats why its such a great moment that ex-loner Michonne warns them that they need to stop.
you could be out here for too long.
It has to be noted how much Michonne has changed in the past three seasons.
TYREESE R.I.P.
It seems the fate of the wise man onThe Walking Deadis violent death.
Dale, Hershel, and now Tyreese, who is bitten while trying console Noah.
haunt Tyreese in his final moments, as the episode comes full circle.
How crazy is it when Tyreese uses his already-bitten arm to stop the zombie from killing him?
The zombie takes another good bite.
Governor accuses him of breaking his oath to him, saying that Tyreese didnt earn his keep.
Its a moral debate that almost doesnt fit the usually subtle tone of such predicaments on this show.
The Walking Dead doesnt normally put the moral choices out on the table for discussion.
But since Tyreese is dying, it seems to fit just as well as a hallucination.
Noah manages to reach the others in time to cut off his infected arm and escape the safe zone.
But its not soon enough to save him.
The final shot is of another grave, Tyreeses beanie hanging off a cross.
Im looking forward to the light at the end of the tunnel.
