Question: What\u2019s cooler than Daryl with a crossbow?<\/p>\n
Answer: Daryl with a bazooka.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s almost a relief that you can\u2019t assign scores to individual scenes, because if you could, the opening of \u2018No Way Out\u2019 would have been off the scale. In the best way.<\/p>\n
Remember those Negan-heralding guys at the end of the previous episode? Well, quelle surprise: they aren\u2019t nice guys. Indeed, if it wasn\u2019t for Daryl then Sasha and Abraham would be brown bread. Those annoyed at the lack of action from everyone\u2019s favourite redneck in the prior Season 6 episodes will undoubtedly be satisfied.<\/p>\n
After the light comic relief of seeing a herd of bastards blown up and set on fire (Abraham even gets a chance to deliver a trademark one-liner to what\u2019s left of his would-be assassin) comes the nitty gritty of The Walking Dead: people in trouble.<\/p>\n
You have Glenn and Enid holed up in the church; Gabriel looking after Judith; the Wolf \u00a0on the run with the captive Denise; Carol, Morgan, Eugene, Tara and Rosita wondering what the hell\u2019s just happened in the wake of Carol and Morgan\u2019s idiotic scrap, and then you have Rick, Carl, Michonne, Jessie, Ron and Sam smeared in zombie guts and attempting to escape.<\/p>\n
Think The Walking Dead won\u2019t show a small child being graphically eaten? Well think again. Sam was hardly an established character, but his death still shocks.<\/p>\n
And then there\u2019s Jessie. Through her, Rick had a possible path back to something near normality. No more.<\/p>\n
And Ron. Okay, so we never really liked him, so his death didn\u2019t exactly leave us heartbroken, especially since he was pointlessly trying to kill Rick, so he only has himself to blame for being turned into a human kebab by Michonne. However, he does have a legacy: namely shooting out one of Carl\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\n
Maybe having an eyepatch will make him less irritating? Only time will tell.<\/p>\n
After this electrifying first half in which everything goes off, things peter out somewhat. Glenn looks doomed at one point \u2013 then suddenly he isn\u2019t. The walker problem gets sorted out in such an obvious way that you wonder how no one thought of it sooner.<\/p>\n
Still, a tinder box has been lit, and it\u2019ll be interesting to see how long the fuse runs for. Welcome back The Walking Dead\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
