Here is our review of the excellent “Say Yes.”
ThisWalking Deadreview contains spoilers.
Suddenly, it felt like Negan had taken over.
Everything and everyone was Negan.
Its a method thats seriously backfired in season 7.
Say Yes isThe Walking Deads most sincere episode in years.
Sure, it makes sense on paper.
Plus, theyre one badass couple, as showcased tonight during the fun little fight at the zombie carnival.
Its why Rick asks Michonne to stay out with him just a little while longer.
One more day, then two.
Its also the right kind of lighthearted environment to complement a story of two reckless lovers.
I truly felt for Michonne in the brief moment when she thought shed lost Rick.
Again, Gurira sells the shit out of her scenes.
I love her so much.
Elsewhere, we have to deal with Rositas bullshit.
The season finales big death might have also been put in motion tonight.
Again, Sasha and Rosita teaming up for a suicide mission feels inevitable.
Shes the clear candidate to exit the show by seasons end.
Until then, I hope these characters continue to make every last minute they have left together count.
