ThisWalking Deadreview contains spoilers.
Im relieved the writers decided against an entire episode of Maggie mourning Glenn.
That strength allows Maggie to put the treacherous Gregory (Xander Berkeley) in his place.
Or at least shes destined to be a force for good for as long as she can.
Thats something Ive always liked aboutThe Walking Dead.
Instead, they become renewed.
If and when they die, theyll die fighting.The Walking Deadcontinued that theme tonight.
I have to briefly mention how much I enjoyed tonights action scene.
action really elevated this otherwise talky episode.
the undead in the face just became my new favorite thing.
Its campy fun that pays tribute to the zombie flicks of yore.
It was almost dreamlike in nature.
This kid is obviously in way over his head, but thats actually pretty exciting.
Itll be interesting to see how this all plays out.
Steven Ogg returned this week as Negans right hand man, Simon, and he delivered another enjoyable performance.
I much prefer his friendly neighborhood asshole demeanor to Dwights scowling or Negans yelling.
In other words, at its very best,The Walking Deadis a show about hope.
Dont forget to listen to Den of GeeksWalking Deadpodcast,No Room in Hell!
One subtle moment was when Sasha revealed to Enid that shed put the balloons on the wrong grave.
Enid and Carl finally had their first kiss tonight.
Also, they got to skate!
How many times has Enid climbed over that fence at this point?
Alexandria needs better security.
I really hope that we learn more about Jesus this season.
Hes still a pretty vague character.
We know almost nothing about him.
I want to know why he likes to dropkick zombies instead of just stabbing them.
I didnt really talk about Sasha much tonight.
Id like to see Carl drive some more.
Maybe a roadtrip with Enid and the other teens.
Speed Past the Walking Dead.
