This episode is dedicated to the late George Romero. (Every episode should be, if you’re asking me.)
What’s good?
This episode doesn’t waste a lot of time and crams a lot of story into its first hour back. Daryl Vs. Cigarette Boy. Rick putting Negan’s axe to work. “I was in a meeting.” Tara. Yankovic. The bold time-jumps.
What’s not so good?
Once again, the good guys hold guns. There is nothing between those guns and Negan’s skull. Why are there no bullets in Negan’s skull?
How does it end, spoiler boy?
“We’ve already won!”
