![]() ![]() It’s nicely framed, and set up well so that the moment of realization hits just before the shooting starts. It’s a pretty decent gun battle that unfolds, and it’s a nice counterbalance to the scene of Aaron, Jerry (Cooper Andrews), and Lydia (Cassady McClincy) skulking through the big herd on their way to The Commonwealth. That’s why she devotes more resources to walling off the tony parts of the city and stopping Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and company from getting out of Union Station via her plain-clothes goons and their machine guns. She’s too consumed with holding onto power and not as interested in keeping the city alive. Unfortunately for The Commonwealth, Mercer isn’t going to be much help, because by the time he’s in position to deal with the walker horde advancing on the city, he’s getting arrested by a paranoid Milton. ![]() That’s the kind of game-changer that you’d need help from an experienced commander like Mercer to deal with. The Walking Dead Season 11 Episode 22 Review: Faith By Ron Hogan Weapons that will be needed from the looks of things. It’s a nice bit of nostalgia, reminding us that despite not seeing some of these people much this season (like Luke since Dan Fogler has been off shooting Fantastic Beasts), they’ve been around long enough to make an impression, if only due to their zombie-smashing weapons of choice. In Alexandria, a big box of signature weapons is unearthed, and as each survivor’s hand takes a weapon, we get a great shot of them using that weapon, from Gabriel using his machete to Aaron strapping on his spiked ball fist and bashing heads and Daryl threatening with his crossbow. The opening to every episode has been a blast from the past featuring lots of Member Berry moments, and this week is no exception. No doubt part of my ongoing nostalgia for a fictional world is guided by the nostalgia-filled cold openings The Walking Dead has indulged in throughout season 11C. This is literally the end of an era, and as The Walking Dead shambles off into history, a big part of my writing life shambles off with it. Spinoffs from Negan and Maggie in Manhattan, Daryl in France, and Rick and Michonne are either being filmed or already shot, and it’s good that the greater Walking Dead universe will continue to live on, but forgive me a sense of nostalgia for what I’ve spent the better part of 12 years writing about week-in and week-out here at Den of Geek. Tales of the Walking Dead is an interesting experiment. Fear The Walking Dead seems to be going strong. So she let the reanimated trooper chow down on his eyeball.Sure, there are multiple spinoffs coming, and multiple spinoffs in the rear-view mirror.

In fact, one, still ticked that he’d been denied a transfer to be with his brother as he died - how’s that for dense plotting? - took aim at the warden. “Shoot them all,” the villain hollered at his guards. Thankfully, Ezekiel, Magna, Princess, lotsa prisoners moved to stand in front of the warden’s would-be victim. “You will feel this punishment,” he roared. Though Annie’s husband, eager to be executed and martyred, confessed that it was his, the warden pulled a fast one and decided to kill the expectant mother instead. Meanwhile, a kerfuffle with a guard at the Commonwealth worksite left Negan’s telltale map in the possession of the warden, who tasked him with finding out whose it was. One of the walkers was that newfangled smart kind it picked up a dropped knife… but to plunge into whom? When still more troopers approached the sextet, Lydia kept her friends safe by having them pull a Whisperers and roam among the dead. IN OTHER DEVELOPMENTS | En route to Oceanside, Aaron, Jerry, Lydia and Elijah bumped into Luke and Jules - remember them… vaguely? The sweethearts reported that Commonwealth troopers had overtaken the beach community, so no point in going there. Was Max’s brother going to kill her boyfriend? Nope.
