Sure, he was going to let her die in Episode 1, but maybe he’s trying to reconcile that decision. He saved a few main characters in Season 10 and now we see him continually save Maggie. At least those three seasons gave us Negan.īut this brings us to something else I’ve noticed in several recent episodes: Negan seems to keep saving the day. The Walking Dead fell off seasons 6, 7 and 8 but 9, 10 and so far 11 have been great. Any fan of 80s horror movies will appreciate little throwbacks here like the fact that the killer also seems to silently appear behind his victim. This big battle scene also separated the group of survivors as we first follow Maggie into an old empty warehouse where she’s stalked by the Reapers. So we now know that the Reapers are complete badasses with ninja-like stealth skills, but we even got to see an unmasked Reaper talking with Gabriel at one point.Īnd that was an interesting exchange as it not only gave us a closer look into the Reapers’ philosophies, but also continued Gabriel’s “fall from grace” when he said “God isn’t here anymore” just before killing the guy. Toye, who is best known for his work on shows like Snowpiercer, The Boys, Watchmen, and Westworld. The spotlight on the main characters was jarring at first, but also an appreciated experiment by esteemed director Frederick E.O. That said, I do think that this big battle scene was really well done. So when every single red-shirt goes down in the first 5 minutes, it makes you a little skeptical for the rest of the episode. We’ve seen several characters whom we’ve come to know and love for multiple seasons meet a surprising end. This show used to be well-known for taking someone who looked expendable (ahem, Aaron) and giving them an entire story arch. I got sucked in as member after member of Maggie’s group was killed (Cole, Duncan, and possibly Elijah) or wounded (Gabriel, Negan, Maggie, etc.).īut I have to say, despite the wounding of a few main characters, the killing off of all the expendable short-timers in this episode was a bit disappointing. That fight sequence before the opening credits was quick and dirty, but it really made the episode. As it turns out, the Reapers are extremely formidable and dangerous foes. This episode opens up with an epic battle scene between Maggie’s group who just escaped the subway tunnels and the Reapers. Be warned that the rest of this post contains massive spoilers for The Walking Dead Season 11, Episode 3
