Essentially, it involves a lot of explosives, an '80s rock song ('Cult of Personality' by Living Colour), and a hefty dose of inspiration from Terminator 2 - specifically the nuclear and lava bits where faces get melted off, except this time, it's the zombies who are melted in a series of giant explosions. Thank goodness time was dedicated to this conversation instead of something banal like, oh, we don't know, some kind of resolution for all the other main characters who don't really get a proper ending?Īnd with that, one final plan is put in motion to stop the horde that Pammy let in, once and for all. Oh, also, Eugene points out to (a secretly infected) Rosita that swimming is healthy for kids. I know I probably owe you more than this, but I am so sorry for what I took from you and what I took from your son." "I was about to lose everything and I finally understood what you must have felt. The gang take some time to bond before one last big hurrah, and while you might be tempted to fast forward here, there's an important moment where Negan gives Maggie his most heartfelt apology yet before they go off to use a sniper rifle on Pamela Milton. But still, that scene ends up being pretty ridiculous too in an entirely different way because Rosita survives way longer than your average walker victim.īut we digress. Remember how annoying that was? The writers clearly do, because Rosita later dies from a walker-related injury suffered in this moment, which sort of makes up for it a bit. Walking Dead explains major character absence Imagine a world where these variants actually played a big role on the show before this final run. Things do take a turn for the worse though when those pesky smart zombies suddenly breach the hospital with a rock. Rosita quickly saves her though, narrowly averting the kind of horror that this show used to do so well. Except everyone who's moving onto another show, of course.īut wait! A baby's in danger. Oh, you wanted stakes? Well, it's not like anyone important has died yet, but we appreciate the effort to show anyone can be killed now in this final episode. Jules becomes zombie chow, but no one really seems to care except Luke, which is unfortunate because Luke then dies too, surrounded by his crying mates. The others eventually arrive to lend a hand, but in classic Walking Deadfashion, the two characters who were randomly brought back just two weeks earlier are the first to die. Daryl makes it to the hospital in time, but it's up to tiny Judith, still recovering from a gunshot wound, to barricade the doors and stop any pesky walkers coming in. Things kick off immediately where the previous episode ended.
