Danai Gurira and Andrew Lincoln have so much chemistry both on and off screen good lord lmao

I liked it! Some of the dialogue was kind of...lol, but I kind of expect that from TWD. I was surprised by how genuinely sad and sweet the ~alternate universe scenes were. Rick and Michonne are just SO good together. ugh. If nothing else, I'm glad we get to see their story wrap up in a real way.

The way they looked at each other in the last scene was incredible.

It's funny you say that cause for me I was impressed with the dialogue because the first ep was written by Gimple and his dialogue is terrible. So I was surprised the dialogue for the episode was pretty...normal (the bar is extremely low ok lol). It was such an improvement from the flagship show.

[anna_bea2]

it's honestly mostly a me problem since I hate exposition-y type of stuff, which I know is necessary especially in a case like this where they have only six episodes to do everything. Having said that, I do agree that it was way better than the original show and I'm excited to watch the rest of the season. Especially the episode that Danai wrote.

Good lord, they really, really do! I was blown away by their chemistry in the dream/alt-universe scenes even. The two of them are off the charts when they're on screen together. They're forging whole new heretofore unknown tiers of chemistry lol.

The SOUND that came out of my body when [Spoiler (click to open)]I saw the attacker carrying a samurai sword in the periphery of the screen, and then again when the camera showed her face... I'm honestly surprised my neighbors didn't call the police to report someone being murdered in my house, because it was that kind of noise lol. I had a feeling that's where the scene was going and I still hollered lmao.

When I saw the ep at the LA premiere the audience went WILD when [Spoiler (click to open)]her sword came into view. . It was such an exhilarating experience to see the show with fellow fans and the cast&crew.

[breathe_me]

Same. I was lying in bed and jumped up as soon as I saw the sword. I don't think I screamed but there was definitely some noises made lol

I enjoyed it way more than I thought considering it has a lot of stuff I do not care for. I just don’t want Big government, big military, big cities in twd. I don’t find it interesting. I see the show relates back to world beyond.

What I loved was the alt universe. We got bloody Rick, tears in his eyes Rick. My favorite Ricks. That final scene was everything. I need the next episode now.

[weighty_ghost]

Only watched the first half hour because I wanted to go to bed early. I stopped watching TWD after Rick left so the quick clips of what happened with michonne after kind of confused me. I also hated the heavy and kind of quick exposition of what happened in the last five years. I feel like I missed something. So I’ll prob rewatch the first 30min again.

My initial thoughts - what city was he supposed to be near? And damn Andrew Lincoln is fine

[hisjulliet]

Rick’s in Philadelphia. And to add some context since you stopped watching after Rick “died”- 6 years have passed in our world since Andy left the show and about 8-10 years have passed since Rick had been taken from his family in their world. There’s only 6 episodes (and less than an hour for each ep) so that explains why the exposition is being a little speed-runned. There’s a lot that has happened in canon with characters going to different spin-offs (there’s 5 other spin-offs) so this show unfortunately had the very important and huge task of typing up loose ends and giving long-awaited answers and clarity to fans (and characters) and connect the other spin-offs to this one.

i'm trying to remember exactly when i stopped watching the walking dead. it wasn't immediately after glenn died. maybe a season after that? idk?

[evilyn_1007]

Glenn dies in the first episode of season seven. Season eight they’re still fighting Negan and Carl dies.

[peddlestools]

maybe season 8 then? i was so checked out by then

[tonicol]

I did stop when Glen died, I should look for a recap on YouTube lol
