Bet Rick and Trash woman became a new thing.
I actually enjoyed this episode, minus the plot armor for Rick. The bridge blows up in his face and he floats down the river basically unscathed? other than that I like the surprises and cameos for the show.
I did not see Negan breaking down like that, I kept expecting once he got out of the cell to overpower Maggie but he appears to be broken shell of his self. I did like the homage song from end of very first episode sending Rick off the show.
Then, I see this little girl, she has mini katana sword, giant revolver, i’m like who the F is this. Then she picks up “the hat”, OMG, what Judith Grimes. I think that is interesting twist, maybe to evolve her into the role Carl was supposed to have with upcoming new threat.
This reviewer sure hated it.
“What Comes After” craps the bed so spectacularly, and in such a ham-fisted manner, it’s hard to imagine there wasn’t a point at which they toyed with throwing some “Yakety Sax” over the soundtrack during that final chopper ride off into the sunset.

I wasn’t a super fan of it either and it was exactly what I expected. I’m not sure how many of you watch Survivor but there is always an episode at the end when the final contestants walk down “memory lane”. I knew this was coming, I didn’t really care to see it and it didn’t further the plot along one bit.
I’m a little upset over the deviation from the comics. First Carl and now Rick are gone. The entire premise of the show has been upended. We basically wasted 9 years of story as it’s all meaningless now. Ricks story of survival and providing a better life for Carl is erased. Now we’ll be forced to watch the SJW version of the show as we see an empowered “Judith”.
And fuck that ending. That .357 Magnum weighs more than Judith. No way she can shoot that and be that accurate. And are they going to be that wasteful with guns and ammo (such a limited supply) that they allow a child to walk around with a hand cannon? Can’t they just give her a basic 22? World War Z used them for the soldiers as it’s cheap and easy to use.
So what now? Where does TWD go from here? And why reboot both shows. Fear the Walking Dead rebooted mid season as well for reasons unknown. I’m still bitter about that and Fear was the lesser show. Now we’ll have 3 AMC movies for Rick? Why? Just why?
Finally, No one hears the fucking helicopter? No one at all?

I would say I’m not usually a fan of spin off movies series, but Andrew Lincoln made TWD great originally and being able to parlay that into additional movies down the road I have to say is smart for him.
It seems he may be pigeon-holed into the character of Rick for a while so why not capitalize financially with bigger paychecks.
Overall, I liked the episode, and it felt like a proper ending for Rick. But that ending was nothing more than a panicked retcon of the entire episode. Basically, they found a way to keep Andrew Lincoln in the series and get him closer to home (expect these films to be made in London or at least nearby), and bailed on everything they wrote.
I’m not sure that there will be an SJW type character in Judith. The fact is, after keeping her in the show (she was killed in the comics as a baby during the prison attack by The Governor) and killing off Carl, they’re basically retconning her into the new Carl. I guess that’s how you keep some age continuity when you run the story so long that Carl’s actor winds up way older than the comic character. This is a result of the show never really being sure if it wants to stay true to the comics or not, which has been a huge problem with the show the past 4-5 years.

I am waiting for them to introduce Judith’s cousin…
They also need to add in the dog…
Those are the whisperers…humans, dressed to blend. The next big war.
I swear he can’t act unless he’s eating. Every fucking scene in the Punisher he was chowing down on something. Exaggerating it of course.
Judith makes me wish Coral (Carl) was back. She is literally the annoying cousin / nephew / plot device they drop in to reboot dying shows. 100% annoying. What kid that age is having those conversations with adults and swaying their decisions? “If they don’t come, I won’t”, when talking about the strangers. WTF???
One final comment about Judith. Why was she out roaming the wilderness alone? With a Hand Cannon? She had no adults with her at all. So much is wrong about that beginning scene.
Last comment about the upcoming shows. It’s a shame EVERY FUCKING SITE is spoiling what the Whisperers are. It’s completely taking the surprise out of the whole story line. I remember reading the comics and was all WTF when they were first introduced. That’s all ruined people new to the Walking Dead. What a shame.

Yeah I just had time to finish the episode and from things I saw last night I assumed the Whisperers were introduced last night. If you don’t know the comics that would not be knows without reviews saying that.
This episode was a complete throwaway episode. They could have solved a ton of this in 5 minutes. And did Michone ever have that branded X on her back before? Doesn’t that go against her backstory?
All I care about from last night…

I couldn’t figure out what that X was about, maybe something related to pregnancy/birth??
Judith was not done well in this episode, Face palm on her dialogue. Other characters have some interest with the time passed, to see how they have evolved, Daryll, carol, Eugene.
I would guess it’s something to do with prison, given she made such a big deal about the prison tat that Magna had.

I initially thought the X scar was due to kidney transplant, but who knows… Don’t think they have the tech for that currently.
I still like Negan and am looking forward to more story with him. I really can’t stand Daryl. He’s a whiny baby, and needs a shower and a haircut.
