Cool.” Unfortunately for Maggie, it’s another one of her people, Agatha, who suffers a nasty chomp to the arm. Negan goes along to get along and stay alive and delivers the line of the night when they hear a woman outside, shrieking in the distance: “So we’re going to go toward the screaming. So it’s on to the supply stash house in hopes the others will meet them there. This plan of hers, Maggie admits, is shit, but she’s all out of ideas. Alden and Negan lend a hand as she fends off more Reapers, and the skirmish ends with Alden suffering a nasty gut shot. Meanwhile, Maggie is alone in a mall - or so she thought. Judging by this exchange and what Negan finds later - a crispy walker tied to a stake beneath a sign that reads “Judas” - there’s a religious angle to the Reapers (y’know, probably some New Testament-y “reap what you sow” deal). “God isn’t here anymore,” says the G-man, just before sinking his blade into the Reaper’s head. All alone, Gabe finds an injured Reap on the roadside who starts Bible-thumpin’: “We have been blessed … will you pray for me?” Dude obviously picked the wrong priest for last rites. The Reapers also succeed in the time-honored TWD tradition of scattering the group. It means a lot to Mags, but for us, these are low-stake exits. Same for the big man best known for his massive guns and piggy-back rides - that’s Duncan, and he gets carved up like a Christmas ham. If I showed you Cole’s headshot, could you name him without multiple-choice options? I probably couldn’t. There’s a death, but it’s Cole from Maggie’s posse.
WALKING DEAD BLONDE GIRL ACTRESS MOVIE
The opening sequence sets the tone for feeling like we’ve seen this movie before: Maggie’s terrified, a new threat in the form of the Reapers has the upper hand, and once again, the survivors are, well, in survival mode. And despite a few tender moments amidst the tense ones, there’s a certain TWD-by-numbers quality to this chapter. But sometimes, as the old theme song goes, a horse is just a horse. It’s one of those quiet conversations that occurs between bouts of zombie mayhem and the horrors of mankind, one that’s supposed to carry greater significance - an emotional weight that both resonates and instructs, suggesting a brief glimmer of hope in this otherwise miserable existence.
About midway through this episode, Magna and Kelly talk about horses and gaining their trust.
