The Walking Dead is back and now that it got Carl’s emotional death out of the way in one extended 82-minute episode, we can get back to that All Out War that was starting to go very bad for Rick & Co. The show continues to try new things, breaking the story up into six character viewpoints and giving us just enough info from one to start piecing together what’s about to happen in the others. None of it adds up to anything good for the Junkyard Gang.
But first, to Rick and Michonne…

Meanwhile back at the Sanctuary, things seem to be disintegrating quickly between Simon and Negan, with Negan being the humanitarian trying to keep all the communities that attacked them from being purged.

But Simon wasn’t exactly in a forgiving mood this week, and that resulted in an absolute bloodbath for the Junkyard Gang.

And how about that crazy grinder scene? I don’t think anyone was too excited to hear Jadis’ backstory, but at least it included one of the most gruesome zombie destruction scenes in the history of the series.

And as for Rick’s mercy prevailing over his wrath … well, let’s just say he’s not quite ready to embrace that mindset just yet.
That marks the 154354898653535th time Rick has threatened to kill Negan. #TheWalkingDead #DemDeadz
