This was an episode we have been waiting for an awfully long time keeping in mind how things ended in the last episode of previous season. But this episode doesn't live up to that hype.One can call it a decent episode. It starts with Rick, Ezekiel and Maggie giving speeches about how things will go down which shows that they have been planning on some kind of an attack which they will surely execute in the episode with flashes from how Carol and keep check on the timing of the herd Daryl is being helped by Dwight as he tells him about their hideouts
I would say while planning they didn't thought it through The plan was a good one but in bits n pieces
1.Controlling the herd and bringing it to Negan's place was executed exceptionally well 2.Taking out the hideouts one by one silently and quietly was another highlight 3.Puts metal sheets on cars and using them as shield required brains and going to Negan's all pumped up seemed like a good plan 4.Hilltop and Kingdom came together to fight against Negan
But as I said they didn't think it through As soon as Negan walks out no one shoots All that 'one person has to die talk goes into a dustbin' Rick gave a choice to Negan's lieutenants(MERCY) that they can join Team Rick and their lives will be spared.But on one seemed to say anything.Then out of nowhere Negan calls out Gregory to say that Hilltop stands with Negan but i don't know why he thought that would work(Absolutely failed)
Rick starts counting and in the middle of it shoots and Negan and misses.From 7 long season they had been using guns and a misses the target(Seems highly unlikely) And then came the most poorly thought scene:Wasting Ammunition All lost their heads and started shooting at the building That was just Rick depicting 'Fuck One Person' kill everyone Negan somehow manages to get into a trailer outside the building As their so called plan was working, people start leaving as big herd of Zombies reached there Then Gabriel gets that fatherly sense and goes out help Gregory but as anyone watching that scene can predict :Yes u guessed right Gregory takes his car and flees Gabriel then somehow and manages to get into a trailer and finds Negan in it with both of them surrounded by Zombies At the end of the episode Rick is getting those time transitional flashbacks in which he is giving speech and then he is panting and thinking about Mercy and then he's old(Grandpa Rick) leaving peacefully All in all a decent episode but could have been much better I think Negan has something in store for the next episode and people are going to die But it looks like this is a kind of battle no one will be happy after winning(Although Negan is always happy)
