First, I called it with Carl! It did happen last night! Carl changes as a person in the comics after getting shot in the face. So hopefully he won't be such an annoying cunt now in future episodes.
Second, holy shit! Way to fuck everything Sam, you little douche. That's what happens when you don't shut the fuck up! You just got your entire goddamn family killed because you couldn't keep your shit together and couldn't keep your fucking mouth shut.
On a related note, way to go Carol! That's what happens when you scare the ever-loving shit out of little kids!
On a second related note, what the fuck took them so long! It was still plenty daylight when Gabriel and the group split up, then all of a sudden it's dark and they're still in the middle of bloody town. Regardless of how slow they were walking, Alexandria ain't THAT damn big. It's Alexandria, not fucking Manhattan. They should have easily been out of the town by nightfall.
Third, fuck you Wolves guy, you cockgobbling douche!
Fourth, holy fuck what a beginning. Hey douchecanoes, meet Daryl. Daryl, with an RPG. Fuck that was great. And because Daryl just fucked up 6 or 7 of Negan's men, he'll probably be extra pissed when he's introduced.
Fifth, yes, psycho Rick is back! He's the best Rick. Gonna damn near singlehandedly take down the walker horde.
Sixth, wow. Gabriel actually pulled his head out of his ass. Whereas I couldn't wait for Gabriel to die last season, I may actually change my mind about him now if he keeps being this non-selfish, non fucking shit up asshole he had been. Even Eugene stopped being a pussy and grew a pair!
Seventh, nice to see the Alexandrians finally grow balls. Maybe they'll actually make it as a town after all.
Eighth, fuck yeah! What an entrance by Abraham and Sasha. Of course, it means ONCE AGAIN that Glenn survives a fucking impossible to survive situation, but hey, it was worth it for that entrance. Plus Abraham with the one liners again. That laugh he had after "Appreciate it, pal!" fucking cracked me up.
Ninth, with very green, untested Alexandrians, mixed in with Rick and company, there was so much chance for at least some more Alexandrians to die. Very disappointed that none of them that ran out the door and fought got bit and munched on. That actually was a pretty badass ending with the endless chopping and slicing montage they did.
And on a related note, damn they great with music in this show. They had great music all throughout the show to really heighten the tensions as well as set the scenes. That is one thing they absolutely do amazing with every episode (along with the make-up work for the walkers) is the music during the show.
Finally, now that I think about it, I think we are safe from the start of the Negan story arc this season. Now that I think about it, we still haven't even finished the Wolves. All that's even happened with the Wolves was the attack they made on the town. Everything since then has been about the town recovering and Rick and company all trying to make it back to town alive from the Walker Pride Parade clear back in the first episode of the season. So now I expect the second half of the season will be about going wolf hunting.
And thinking back over just how much shit went down in this episode, there really was no point in the episode that I didn't like. It really was a good episode from start to finish. I have to agree with the comment Chris Hardwick just made at the start of Talking Dead, last night's episode may very well be among one of the best episodes in the series as a whole.
And as Greg Nicotero is talking, I can understand now why they had Rick and everyone still trying to walk out of the damn town after dark had fallen, because the only way to shoot the lake of fire scene was after dark. But I still hate that they made it seem like Alexandria was fricking Manhattan with it taking Rick and everyone a long as time to try and escape, going from at the latest early evening based on amount of sun, to complete dark in such a small time frame.
