And marching up the street, looking pretty damn intimidating in their iron masks, come the Reapers. Others have been hit but nobody else killed. He died bravely-or, well, he died quickly and without much warning anyways. It’s a small world, after all.Īs they stand around chatting there’s suddenly a whooshing sound and an arrow flies out of the night directly into the old guy’s eye. “This place has changed,” Negan mutters, and I’m guessing this must be his old neighborhood. Corpses hang from ropes along the sides of the street. The ReapersĪt last they emerge from the subway onto a city street that looks vaguely familiar. The grenade goes off and turns the entire car into zombie soup, bits of red sludge dripping from the ceiling. He pulls the pin from a grenade, shoves it into a zombie’s mouth and kicks the bugger back into the other car, slamming the door and leaping into shelter. When he finally breaks on through to the other side, he tells everyone to take cover. Little bits of The Walking Dead theme song play over the action. He goes in guns blazing and we get a nice shot from outside the train of his assault-every bullet is a direct shot to the brain and he cleaves a bloody path through the walkers. What follows is one of the cooler Walking Dead action scenes this show has ever produced.ĭaryl is a killing machine. When he winds his way back around to the train that the survivors are on he’s able to flank the zombies, entering the train behind them and taking them unawares. He gives Daryl his gun, which Daryl ends up putting to very good use. The Reapers shoot him right in the eye later).
“Tell my kids I didn’t die a coward,” he tells Daryl, or something along those lines, though later he seems fine and is back with the group just a little worse for wear. Nobody lives here now, just the occasional walker to put a crossbow bolt into.Īt one point he comes across the other missing Maggie mook bleeding profusely. It’s a little archeological dig back into the earlier days of the apocalypse. He finds words scrawled on the walls and a note left by a child on a dollar bill to his father who hasn’t returned. Daryl The Killing Machineĭaryl had chased after Dog last week and finds himself exploring the old camps of survivors who had set up in the subways long ago. They make a stand, fighting wave after wave of the undead as they trickle in. Now they’re trapped between zombies with some coming up behind them and all the ones out front. Kid is a zombie a couple minutes later, beating at the door with the other undead. Why not go out with a little dignity at least? Take a few with you on the way out. This won’t stop him from zombifying and it doesn’t kill him fast enough to not experience the zombie mob. So he stabs himself in the heart which I also don’t really understand. This is a little puzzling since they end up going that way anyways, but I guess it shows that Maggie is a ruthless leader willing to let her people die even when they could pretty easily be saved. Unfortunately for this kid, there appear to be quite a few zombies coming up behind him and they decided not to help him. They’ve been going from car to car breaking the doors, which have rusted shut, open and taking care of any zombies they come across. It’s a tense moment but, just like with last week’s cliffhanger, we don’t expect these Maggie mooks to actually kill Negan.Ī minute later a young guy from Maggie’s group shows up on the other side of the door leading to the next subway car. And there’s a big difference between trying to kill her and just not helping her.
So naturally, he returns to the group, they ask where Maggie is, he plays dumb-“She was right behind me.”-and then she shows up not long after having escaped Dumpster Zombie Pile 2.0.Įveryone is really angry and upset with Negan for this, of course, but he reminds them that just moments earlier she was threatening to kill him. His only mistake was not making sure the job was done.
Maggie would remain a threat so long as she lived so he might as well let her die. He’s the black sheep and he always will be. He’s done a lot to help the Alexandrians and none of it has really made much of a difference. Helping her would have earned him some brownie points but not many. Negan, of course, had every reason to not help Maggie.
