Just Look At The Flowers: LIW The Walking Dead Review

Rick is beaten up by a teenager and loses some teeth. He's falling apart by the chapter. Negan escapes and becomes the leader of The Whisperes for exactly 20 seconds. Wasn't what I expected but that's a good thing. Are you ready for The Whisperer War? I know I am. I know Rick isn't. He will just be a torso and head sitting in a chair barking out orders soon.

It's been over 2 years since the last comic review so strap in/on for this one. We finally get to see/read the aftermath of the Whisperers murdering half the cast of characters. The aftermath isn't as crazy as you think it would be. Negan is starting to give advice to Rick and that can only lead to great places. Right?

Mutant zombies are stupid. Now that that's out of the way, this episode wasn't bad. It had some really good stuff in it. I mean it. Seeing Ezekiel drop the act was fascinating. The actor killed it. Not an amazing episode but they finally did what I've been requesting for a long time: they had emotional scenes with a character that actually resulted in me feeling differently about the character. Seriously, awesome job. Now do that with Daryl so I actually give a shit if he lives or dies.

Write something for Daryl please. He's just turned into a sweaty, hairy guy that grunts out one line per episode now. Seriously, you could kill his character off right now and I wouldn't even care. I want to care. I want to like Daryl but having him kill two people without a care in the world just makes me think he actually should be dead. He's a... monster.

Two episodes into season 8 and we already have an episode that is completely pointless. Seriously, nothing in this episode matters. If you went straight from 801 to 803, it would be the same. Anyway, welcome Morales back to the show. I know you all missed him so much. Remember...he's the guy that fled with his family at the tail end of season 1. Well, he's back so deal with it.

For the first time in years, the opening episode of the season has me excited for the season to come. The pacing is much better. The story structure is insanely better. Rick's haircut is much worse though. But I'll live with that fact. Anyway, is it all a dream? Better not be.

Phoenix goes over the episode 716 Alternate Cut and how the title is deceiving. It only added one short scene. That's an extended cut. He also reviews the behind the scenes special for season 8 before getting into his season 8 predictions. Are you excited for season 8? Phoenix isn't sure either.

You can go ahead and kill Madison if you want. Seriously. This isn't reverse psychology. Do it. Anyway, shit happens in this episode and Aerosmith fights the Clark family. Madison has pointless visions about a zombie Christmas dinner. For some reason. It doesn't matter. AMC, you can kill her if you want.

Our main chacters get 30 seconds of peace before being attacked by a new group of assholes. They really squeezed 4 episodes of story into the last two episodes but I'd rather have that than the way The Walking Dead makes 2 episodes worth of story last half a season. Anyway, Madison ups her bad decision making skills with a random murder and I can't follow the Victor nonsense anymore.

Welcome new Michonne into the show as she becomes fast friends with Alicia. Ophelia's reign of boring has come to a close. Nick's stint with sobriety has been derailed by eating a brain stem of insanity. Madison makes another terrible decision that just happens to work out for the group.
