A new face and setting are introduced. With all that's gone on in the apocalypse, can people be trusted?

Note: This episode will be 90 minutes long, and it's first one in the series that's not a premier or a final.
 
I knew they were going to do that -- follow last week's episode with an unrelated storyline. I didn't expect them to completely veer away from the season to date.

Lenny's backstory was an interesting journey through insanity, but it didn't answer the big question: Why did Tabitha need to die?

Oh yeah, and what about Glenn?

I would bet at least 50 cents that the "open the gate" call at the end didn't come from Maggie's man. I guess I was wrong about Lenny finding his inner killer, unless he plans to talk that captive wolf member to death.
 
Oh man, that was beautiful. If this episode would have been a standalone movie, I would have gone to watch it. Things might not have made much of sense, as most of the exposition was cut out and only few lines told what happened to the world. But I would not have minded as what was told made totally sense. There is no need to kill everyone. All life is precious. However, what wasn't made clear is that there is a devil in each and everyone of us.
It's there waiting to come out. Just in our world, a person can live through their life without the evil surfacing.

In the world of TWD, there is no choice, you cannot avoid killing a person. You can try to avoid it but you cannot escape it if you want to survive. Some people like Gabriel, they fight till the bitter end for not taking a life. Morgan, however, we've seen that he only needs to flip the switch and the crazy person bursts through like Jack in The Shining. Or that's what I believe.

This episode was written by the showrunner Scott Gimple if you didn't notice. Also Glenn's credits had been removed from the title sequence.

Bad sign, that.
Also read that grief stricken fans have demanded that Gimple be fired. Whoa! With that kind of reaction, he probably should get a raise.
 
I really enjoyed this one, and I wasn't expecting to because of the diversion away from the main story. In a lot of ways it was a predictable episode, cos we all know how Morgan is now, but it was interesting to see how he got from there to here. I liked that they didn't feel the need to show the other guy's death, too.
 
Will Morgan inherit Hersel's role as Rick's moral compass now that he's master of Art of Peace?
 
Great episode.

Morgan needs to die. He will bring disaster upon the group and Alexandria by attempting to talk the Wolves to death.

LOL.

There should be more talking and less killing as what that wolf said was so creepy. Who is scaring him so much? The Alpha Wolf?

Morgan is a lunatic too so is probably a suitable additional viewpoint to Carol's guidance in this mad world. Better than Daryll literally driving in circles as his decision changes.
 
Yes, from the opening and closing sequences I took away the view that Morgan has reverted back to the way he was before he learned Aikido. What we saw in the last few weeks was a different man who is now gone. Does he also blame Rick for not coming back and the death of his son?

That was my take on the opening scene. Here but not Here. Morgan is there but Rick never turned up.
