Glad the show's back, I also think there was more with the Gabriel scene, some footage showing the stranger forcing him to pack up and take off was left out I'm guessing.
Though I dont think there was a need to amp up the Rosita v. Sasha beef, I mean they gave each other the "girl we cool" head nod last episode damnit. Show doesn't need a love triangle especially when part of the triangle is dead
Called it.
Rick's smile was priceless!! Totally gif worthy.
Daryl is given asylum at the Kingdom for his own protection but I bet its actually setting up a Carol/Daryl reunion. And hell somehow convince Carol to come out of retirement to fight the Saviors. Especially once she finds out about the deaths of Glenn and Abe. As well what the Saviors did to Daryl. Of course assuming Daryl will be the one to tell her that is.
.
I love Daryl, but him being a hot head has gotten himself and others into a lot of trouble. With that, I think Rick will finally get Ezekiel to help him with the fight, but, with the growing rapport between Ezekiel and Carol, I won't be surprised that Daryl gets jealous and does something stupid to upset Ezekiel.
Pretty good episode. Certainly better than the average episode of 7a. However...
The Kingdom shtick is so cringeworthy. I can't believe the man on horseback greeted Rick and Co the way h did. And Ezekiel's actor tries is best but he still sounds silly sometimes. Don't the citizens of the Kingdom ever look at each other and say, "This medieval act is so stupid"?
Has Rosita been established as a expert on explosives? Her talent seemed to come out of nowhere.
I'm not worried about Gabriel. His character arc has been building towards him becoming braver, not more selfish. There will be a good explanation for his disappearance, I'm sure.
The guy playing Negan's second-in-command would've made a better Negan than JDM, I think. Then again, the writers don't saddle him with speeches that go on for ages.
I loved the part in which Michonne and Rick ripped those zombies in half, but where did the zombie herd come from?
Next week's preview makes it clear that the next episode will be either indescribably awesome or completely ridiculous. There will be no in-between.
Big Boss vibes.
Re. Gabriel, who was in the car with him when he left Alexandria. The hooded stranger?
