Walking Dead just changed Rick Grimes fate forever.Because the writers are practical, yes, but also extremely forgetful, which might explain why Heath and Virgil also don't show up last minute to explain their unaccounted-for absences up to this point. There's wine, laughter, and a lovely toast to Luke, the only one who died that people seem to actually care about.ĭaryl spots Negan walking off, possibly forever, while Yumiko and Magna share the briefest of kisses as they finally reunite, putting to bed an ongoing plot line that The Walking Dead pretty much forgot these past couple of years. We see Dog alive and well as the humans go about their happy, celebratory dinner. ![]() ![]() Because The Walking Dead writers are nothing if not practical.Īnd then, the most important thing of all finally happens. It's easily this episode's most moving moment, even if it has been shoehorned in to help set up Maggie and Negan's upcoming spinoff, Dead City. Maggie might not be able to look at Negan without remembering Glenn's final moments, but she does believe that he and Annie have now earned their place among the group. The Walking Dead boss reacts to surprise spoiler.I hear him calling for me and I hear you mocking me while he’s dying, so I can’t forgive you." But when I look at you, all I see is the bat coming down on his head, blood running down his face. I remember his smile, his goodness, and the way he made me feel. "Glenn was beautiful and I'll never love anyone like that again. But then Maggie shows up to explain to Negan why she can never truly forgive him in this finale's best acting showcase by far. Negan brings the mood back down again in the next scene by staring solemnly at his old Whisperer mask, languishing in the pain of his past sins. In her not-so-swanky swanky prison cell, Pamela tries to justify her actions, but Carol shoots her down with the sassy retort, "At least we don't have to worry about who gets your house" right as the house explodes. Essentially, it involves a lot of explosives, an '80s rock song ('Cult of Personality' by Living Colour), and a hefty dose of inspiration from Terminator 2 - specifically the nuclear and lava bits where faces get melted off, except this time, it's the zombies who are melted in a series of giant explosions. Thank goodness time was dedicated to this conversation instead of something banal like, oh, we don't know, some kind of resolution for all the other main characters who don't really get a proper ending?Īnd with that, one final plan is put in motion to stop the horde that Pammy let in, once and for all. Oh, also, Eugene points out to (a secretly infected) Rosita that swimming is healthy for kids. I know I probably owe you more than this, but I am so sorry for what I took from you and what I took from your son." "I was about to lose everything and I finally understood what you must have felt. The gang take some time to bond before one last big hurrah, and while you might be tempted to fast forward here, there's an important moment where Negan gives Maggie his most heartfelt apology yet before they go off to use a sniper rifle on Pamela Milton. But still, that scene ends up being pretty ridiculous too in an entirely different way because Rosita survives way longer than your average walker victim.īut we digress. Remember how annoying that was? The writers clearly do, because Rosita later dies from a walker-related injury suffered in this moment, which sort of makes up for it a bit. Walking Dead explains major character absence.Imagine a world where these variants actually played a big role on the show before this final run. Things do take a turn for the worse though when those pesky smart zombies suddenly breach the hospital with a rock. Rosita quickly saves her though, narrowly averting the kind of horror that this show used to do so well. Except everyone who's moving onto another show, of course.īut wait! A baby's in danger. Oh, you wanted stakes? Well, it's not like anyone important has died yet, but we appreciate the effort to show anyone can be killed now in this final episode. Jules becomes zombie chow, but no one really seems to care except Luke, which is unfortunate because Luke then dies too, surrounded by his crying mates. The others eventually arrive to lend a hand, but in classic Walking Deadfashion, the two characters who were randomly brought back just two weeks earlier are the first to die. Daryl makes it to the hospital in time, but it's up to tiny Judith, still recovering from a gunshot wound, to barricade the doors and stop any pesky walkers coming in. Things kick off immediately where the previous episode ended. Play icon The triangle icon that indicates to play ![]()
