    That scene with the slow reveal that Carl was shot and then Rick & Michonne leaping into action to get him to safety was truly badass.
    Their love for Carl was so evident in those moments…especially on Michonne’s face.

    i think the b plot does make sense for the story, morgan has learned that no one is truly 'too far gone' when eastman is able to help him, but carol is also right in that it's not necessarily worth the risk to help him when there's other people who may be hurt in helping him, when he helps denise that of course doesn't absolve him of everything bad he's done but does prove hes not just evil through and through and has the potential to be better, rick later agrees with this thought process in s9 when he tried to help the saviours integrate with the rest of them

      I think some people were definitely too far gone, but Morgan was right about this particular wolf.
      People from the show that I would put in the too far gone category are as followed.
      Dave. Tony, the Governor, Terminus group, most of the dead cops from Dawn's group at the hospital, Simon, the savior that killed Henry's brother, and the one that intentionally pissed his pants when Jesus caught him, and of course the claimers, bad guys from the prison group, and most of the whisperers.
      Those would be the main ones that got air time that were in the kill or be killed category. Definitely some of the background Saviors, and Wolves, Nebraska group characters as well.

      Idk man, the wolf was too far gone imo. Just because he saved Denise (and inadvertently saved Carl) doesn't mean much because he never would have done that if he knew he was going to get bit. He probably just wanted to take the doctor with him for selfish reasons... and when he saved her at the end he was really already dead - so that's great and all but if he was alive and well I am certain he would have been a dangerous psychopath... if they did save him there is no way he wouldn't have done some super fucked up shit later.

    • @mace3632
      @mace3632 Před 6 měsíci +4

      Agreed - in the video he says that "it's made out like we are supposed to feel bad for the Wolf" but i don't see that at all. From what the show has depicted I think it is pretty clear that Denise has very poor judgement - and Morgan is fanatical about the ideology that saved his life... no one else in Alexandria would have even thought for a second that the Wolf is worth saving - I don't think the writers really expected us to agree with Morgan or Denise here.
      Although there is a good chance that Denise only said what she said so that Wolf would bring her to the infirmary where she would be safe - and she probably did intend to honor her promise to save his life (by cutting off his arm) - I really don't think that she believed he was redeemed. At least I hope she isn't THAT naive, but it is Denise we are talking about here so maybe she was that niave.

    Man, this episode also reminds you why it was such a bad idea to kill off Carl. Here you can see just how much of what Rick did is for Carl, to keep him safe, to create a better world for him. That kid was his entire motivation. It also makes Rick's reaction to his death a bit OOC because in this episode Carl was only injured and that was enough to make Rick go berserk, that makes you think he would completely lose it if Carl were to die, but nope, apparently his death gave Rick such a clear mind he decided to forgive Negan. 🙄

Carol’s words really stuck with him. And in the beginning of episode (if i recall correctly) the ants that invade Sam’s room are great foreshadowing to his death.

    3:56 this is truly (for me) the PEAK of TWD, something about Rick just being so angry that he needs to go outside and kill all the walkers is so badass, but then everyone in ricks crew and most of the people of Alexandria join in so it goes from a man’s outlet for rage to a complete take back of their community

Anyway yeah they do that all the time in the show, they’ll substitute one person for another and in some ways it has made some situations more interesting but I still think it was a mistake to kill Carl off and I swear from like season 4 from when she killed Lizzie and Micha (Mika?) on I thought they were building up to her death cuz I remember thinking oh well I guess they decided to re write it, who knows but I’m glad Carol made it, she’s one of the better characters barring season 10 in my humble opinion

    I have to disagree with Rick forgetting about "The New World" This was a reference to TWD comics volume "A Larger World" and a hint at us entering that chapter, and we can see Rick chasing after the new world by working with the Hilltop. When Rick brutally slaughtered the Saviors, it was to protect the Hilltop, and be in good favor with them for the future of Alexandria. In his mind I'd imagine he thought he was doing the world a favor by taking out people on the same level as the Governor or Terminus. I will say though, after losing Glenn and Abraham, and watching Negan suck the life out of his community, he completely forgot what he said to Carl and saw red, and it took losing Carl for him to realize he needed to stop and set a good example to the communities for the sake of their future.

    My personal favourite of the entire series. TWD was at a really high point, at this episodes has everything that I want from a TWD episode. It's a great climax, with shocking moments, action against human and walkers, crazy rick and having all the cast together fighting.
    About the wolve and denise storyline, I find it to be great, one of those moments were I felt that Morgan way of thinking made sense and about Rick's speech at the end, I don't believe that he went against what he said to carl but that the whole all out war was overwhelming and rick just did what he had to but in the end he wanted to build a good world for carl. I still believe carl was not the one who would make rick change, Morgan will always be the one who had that job

  • @Silentstorm231

    Looking back this is the last episode where I actually had a good time with the show. Most of the time in the season I was mentally checking out because many parts of the show felt like it was repeating itself from previous seasons. The many losses incurred during the show was mentally draining and honestly left me depressed after Ricks’ recent love interest died. It was however very inspiring seeing Rick and co. along with the citizens of Alexandria fight off the walkers to defend their homes. It’s been years since I first saw this aired and out of most of this season that I remember this is the one episode that always stuck with me.

    - Abraham in uniform (he was my favorite character whenever he came around and damn it really developed his story)
    - the eventual foreshadowing to negan
    - Daryl with the rpg
    - what actually happened to Carl and how it eventually shapes Rick
    - the merciless rick grimes killing spree. which it still proves that he could be as much of a killer as negan was, but never tapped into that again whenever he saw Glenn and Abraham die

    I think the stuff with Denise and the Wolf dude could have worked had he done something more subtle like just stabbing a walker that got too close to Denise (maybe in the eye to foreshadow what happens to Denise later). Wolfie wouldn't think much of it, but the camera could linger on Denise's reaction so the seed could be planted that change is possible and Morgan may have been right to spare him in S5. Carol would still kill him on sight to give further weight to the "what if" argument, and that could give more significance to it all coming full-circle with Negan later on. I'm sure there's plenty with Negan's story that needs adjusting too (coming from someone who hasn't watched since S7E4), but with what I know happens, they really could have taken the time to embed the "too far gone" idea as a central theme and through line of the story.
