Fans Of ‘The Walking Dead’ Were In Tears From The Shocking End To Season 8’s Episode 4

We’re now officially four episodes into season 8 of The Walking Dead and as promised, it’s been all out war since the opening moments of episode one. But it was this week where the cost of that war finally hit home. The show started out with a flashback to King Ezekiel’s heartening speech to the citizens of the Kingdom promising victory, only to flash forward to all of his troops decimated by Saviors and quickly turning into walkers.

With all the chaos and death on the screen, fans watching the show on Twitter had one important question:

Fortunately, it didn’t take long for Carol to take our minds off our precious Jerry with her return to killer form.

And then there was that random Negan apostle who captured Ezekiel and our imaginations with his unique looks and style choices.

Jerry reminded us all why Jerry is the best. He didn’t just kill that Negan wannabe, he cut the dude in half with a giant battle ax. Even though we saw it coming a million miles away, it was pretty damn satisfying.

But things just started to go too well for our heroes. What, do you really think Carol can save Jerry and Ezekiel while Rick and Daryl capture the guns without some terrible cost? In this situation, it was Ezekiel’s tiger Shiva that had to pay the price and lemme tell you what: people on the Internet were pretty upset.

We’ll be back next week for more Twitter reactions to The Walking Dead … or not. I’m pretty sad about Shiva myself at the moment so we’ll have to see how I feel about getting back on this emotional roller coaster of a show.
