Negan: "Funny thing about this window here, people stand out there and they talk, and it's like they don't remember I'm here." Another shocking mid-season finale!! We lost Jesus to what it seems to be our next threat in this universe.

I'm so excited for you to watch this season and 11. This new "threat" is the best villain in Walking Dead history IMO. There is so much more you will learn about this so buckle up. Mind blowing!
This mid season finale really sets up the theme of the season and the possible threat they may face. Losing Jesus was surprising and sad which made the death impactful and even bad ass whilst Jesus fought like absolute beast
For 9 Seasons the show has trained us to know how Walkers behave and what to expect The moment I saw that Walker dodge an attack for the first time ever in the entire show I jumped Top 10 moment of the series for sure.
It was a long standing fan theory or at least something the fans wished was a thing, that Fear the Walking Dead could've been an origin series for the Whisperers considering how much Nick used walk among the dead! Hell Alpha's mask even looks like Madison's face!
I remember how we all lost our bonkers when this aired. When we saw the situation with Rosita and Eugene we were like, 'What the heck?' Then this episode comes along and we're like 'No effing way!' Only to realize that it's some dude wearing a mask pretending to be a walker?? CLEVER. Now that's a great way to adapt to your environment. Remember when Rick came up with covering themselves with blood and guts to walk amongst the walkers? Dude. Wearing a person's face is some smart tactic there. Makes sense that someone would've come up with that eventually. Rick was only a few days awake from his coma when he thought of covering himself in guts. We're 10 years deep into the apocalypse, what else have people come up with in order to survive? I like seeing how resourceful people can be. As for this episode, it was inspired by the 1968 film Night of the Living Dead. They wanted to bring back that feel and that vibe of horror back on the screen. Seeing this at night was effing awesome. It was almost like watching a scary film. Loved it!
I was so upset to lose Jesus. I loved that Ninja warrior. He should have been around longer IMO and developed his character more. These new villains are so creepy, so creepy.
Great reaction to this episode 🩷 I found this death of Jesus the same as Trin and felt sick about it. A lot of people were mad at the time as there was so much more that could have happened with his character 😞
@Acesman12345 well then that makes her relationship with carl even more creepy than her one with alden, so its probably best to just go with her being the same age as carl, who was 12 when he got to Alexandria
This was the first death I truly wasn’t expecting on this show All the past ones were teased or build up the whole episode but this one really just came out of nowhere.
I agree, the Jesus death is probably the most surprising death, it looks like he is going to be the new leader of hilltop and there was so much they could do with that character, it was kind of disappointing that they didn't. From my understanding, Tom Payne who played Jesus left the show. I don't know his exact reasons but I've heard it was in part because they really were not developing him well. I think was one of the shows biggest problems after season 7, developing the new characters.
Jesus was a shock to me too. I get so annoyed at the TWD people when they announce someone leaving, especially when they announced Andy leaving. Then you had Spoiling Dead and people making videos off of that. Thumbnails alone would spoil you. I love the element of surprise!
@@scarletc.7055ur wrong tho and the other guy was right. tom payne had been unhappy with how underused jesus had been. in the comics, he has a much larger role in the fight against the saviors. tom payne took a bunch of classes to do with karate so he could pull off a bunch of cool stunts that happen in the comics. the showrunners made tv show jesus a lot less cool tho lol. the showrunners said they came to a decision to kill off jesus rather than anyone else here because they knew tom wouldn’t mind leaving the show. it was lauren cohan, maggie’s actor, who left the show to join ABC’s whiskey cavailer, which only aired for one season before being cancelled.
As I am a huge fan of the five new characters can we just all appreciate the fact that Magna actually came along to help rescue a person she’s never met before, even after Rosita told them about this being something they had no idea about how to deal with. Magna still came. This is how much she loves her group and wants to help them all get a new home. I thought there was something so symbolic about the fact that it was her instead of maybe Luke or Connie. Magna was the one Michonne was so worried about (and wasn’t very nice towards if you ask me) and now here Magna was right by Michonne’s side and helped her despite all of that. I love season 9 so much and I’m glad you both are loving it too!
@@kcmet79 True! They really should’ve used her more, I don’t know why they didn’t because her character was very interesting. Nadia Hilker is such a good actress and just seems like the sweetest human being.
One of my favourite mid-season finales, it’s so good and the horror tone of it is really damn good and well done and while it was sad to see Jesus go he went out fighting and I wouldn’t expect any less Henry been easily peer pressured definitely feels realistic for teenagers but I love how he isn’t stupid enough to go along with the game and takes out the walker These villains are probably my favourite of the entire show, I love Negan but he’s much more complex then a straight up villain
I think the hardest thing to keep in perspective is that its been 6 years so all the ex-saviours have new lives and Negan has been behind bars all that time. We only perceive it as a couple of episodes but a lot of things have changed and happened in that time, like new relationships, Rosabriel and Enidalden and why the animosity between communities etc.
Most people miss this but when the firecrackers went off you can hear them say keep them together and another thing that my favourite about this season is the music 🎶
Man, Jesus was one of my favorite characters, sad to see him die like that, when i first watched this episode, it REALLY made me cry, pretty much how i felt with Glenn, Hurshel, Carl, Abraham, Dale and Beth, such important characters... 😢
This is one of my favorite episodes. a whole 9 seasons and 8 episodes, we're literally programmed to think the walkers are this dumb creatures that can't do anything more than simple actions. We've seen thousands of walkers getting killed, not a single one of them reacted in an extraordinary way. We knew that there is literally no way a single walker as we know it would be able to kill someone like Jesus. They made it pretty obvious that he was going to die in that last couple of seconds, but no one would see it would happen the way it was, just a walker, but it dodges Jesus's blow. His death is one of the most shocking moments of the show.
yes the walkers are back. and the rest will be explained. slowly but surely. and yeah i agree, talking walkers doesn't work. never cared for those zombie movies were the zombies talk. new craziness is coming. slowly but surely. great job guys.
This takes me back. This episode blew me away when it aired after waiting so long to see the whisperer arc begin, this season just holds that special place in my heart even if its not the best season overall
Rob I love you calling them the walky talkie dead 😂 I was devastated when Jesus died. I thought Aaron was going to be happy with him.😢 Don't worry guys you'll get all the info you need in the coming episodes. I said the same thing when they started talking, the realism was gone and was considering stopping watching. Then the revealed the humans with the masks. Can't wait till your next review. Ta ta, till next time🙋
It’s great to see people react knowing absolutely nothing or any context to what to expect I watched the episode knowing it was humans under masks but I can’t imagine how scary it would have been to see that without that knowledge.
As Rob said, we are seeing how important Rick's leadership was in keeping all together.TRUE!!! My take at this point in the story: Maggie & Daryl have guilt over Rick. Would Rick have "died" if they didn't distract him so Maggie could kill Negan? Daryl went into exile AND searched for Rick's walker. It was easier to stay in the woods than see Michonne, Judith & Rick's son (who never met his dad) everyday. Maggie has a double whammy because she feels guilt and Neagan is proof that Rick's way was the right path. I think she left with Georgie to help other communities because that's where Rick was mentally when he "died." For Michonne, maybe when it comes to light what actually happened (including Oceanside's role), she is pissed. I think Carol & the King are peacemakers, but they aren't Rick, and the breaking of their fellowship happens.
This is such a great mid-season. I was totally shocked about Jesus and the cinematography and element of horror was well done. You guys have an even better element of surprise than most of us. I love how you have been totally out of the loop and guessing about the walkers. The majority of fans in real time knew exactly what it was even before the season trailer came out. Lucky dogs! 😉
Let's go, my favorite arc hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did, also I'm just going to say it they aren't talking to the walkers they're basically guiding them like shepherds
Gabriel left the door unlocked. The death of Jesus was one of the hardest for me. He was my favorite character from the comics. In the show, the character, in my opinion, was vastly underutilized.
Think about what Negan has done in the past. Killing two loved characters and yet I don't think at this point it's a spoiler to say that he is slowly becoming one of the most interesting well written characters the show has ever had. You may, just may actually start rooting for the guy? Who knows?
The Whisperers aren't talking to the walkers, they're talking to each other but making it sound as much like the walkers' low moaning/growls as possible so as not to trigger them, then they lead the herd like walker shepherds. Anyone else think they should've let Jesus turn, after 3 days?
I love that you guys have no idea about the crazy but awesome ride you're about to take. 😬 Although, I'm still pissed that we lost Jesus. He was a bad ass. . . and really pretty to look at.
At this point, Rick was gone from the group longer than he was with them so people are gonna be different. It’s been more than six years. For all we know, Rick is going to be an entirely different character when we see him again.
Jesus stayed behind to fend off the walkers so the others could focus on getting the gate open without everyone having to keep checking behind them. Walkers aren't really a threat like they were in the beginning, so one person in charge of killing a few at a time makes sense. I love the music for this season, so creepy. Season 9 is one of my favorites. You guys are going to love it. I'm excited for your reaction as the reveal continues.
Cet épisode est vraiment bien fait, le décor est incroyable et je trouve qu'il y a un air de "Thriller" de Michael Jackson ! Trop triste pour Jesus... Il va beaucoup nous manquer ! Pleins de nouveaux mystères pour ce nouvel arc ! Trop hâte de voir la suite ❤ on se rapproche doucement de la fin... 😢
He asked to be written out of the show and many characters that were important and prominent in the comics were lost all. He was excited to play the character but was severely underutilized and not given the comic storyline
@@evaaussie2643 most were written out or left because the it wasn’t in the budget because the budget was being largely used for a non-comic character who in my opinion was overrated and does not but grunt 90% of the time with an actor who basically plays the same type of characters in every movie and show he does. The network ruined good comic storylines for him.
@@evaaussie2643 personally the network put to much into Daryl due to a certian female demograpics and not looking at the show as a whole but it is what it is lol . I could care less if Rick and Daryl never reunited I was always about the Grimes Family 2.0 since season 3
@@evaaussie2643 he was a wasted gamble for the network thinking he would carry the show after AL left because of the Carl being killed off which is another sore spot with me . Once Chandler reached the age of 18 and was entiltled that adult SAG contract it was a wrtap for him because all the money went to NR
One of my favorite storylines of TWD starts exactly here! Can't wait for you to get to know the leader of the new villains. One of my favorite TWD-characters.❤
In theory them evolving wouldn’t really make much sense , the walkers are literally falling apart if u compare them to earlier seasons , like we can literally rip their faces off by just sliding our hands into their faces , so like they’re becoming weaker tbf lol, like heavy winds and stuff would easily kill them at this point
A lot of changes in 6 years, Michonne seems to be the problem, I guess after what happened with Rick it's made her more protective of her people but some of these are her people too and she needs something to remind her of that but it won't be easy. Henry is so damn annoying, makes you miss Carl. I hate losing Jesus, his character had so much potential
Another of my favourite episodes. Great reaction Rob & Trin, I cannot believe you finally made it to "Evolution" and I cannot believe how quickly you got here too. I told you you're in for a rollercoaster🎢 this season. You're so right Rob, I also remember thinking the same, but thinking both Carol & Ezekiel will be disappointed in Henry's decision to snuck out into the woods in the middle of the foggy night with the teenagers and thought bad influence. I was genuinely worried thinking that smallish herd/horde were going to trap the teens' in their hideout in the woods and kill either all of them or a couple of them. Gabriel slammed Negan's cell door without checking it was locked before storming out, being distracted and worried about Rosita. He has a habit of doing this doesn't he? Remember in "Conquer" (I think it was back in 5x16) when he returns from his emotional walk after trying to get bitten then changed his mind and killed the walker then the 2nd one being eaten alive on the ground etc when Spencer asked him to shut the gate and he makes a half-hearted attempt to close the gate by pulling it without looking behind him and checking what he was doing and it sort of bounced back open leaving it ajar and a walker gets in and then on Rick's return he finds it open with a clump of hair stuck to the gate? I found this episode so CREEPY and so full of TENSION right from the start when Rosita woke up in a panic in the infirmary and they tried to get her to lie back down and she said they didn't know what they were dealing with and jumped out of bed. We were like "WHAAAAT, WHAT TELL US ROSITA". Then when we saw Daryl & Dog couldn't turn that herd around and they were heading straight towards that cemetery after our guys helping Eugene, we found it VERY, VERY STRANGE & SUSPICIOUS. That cemetery scene was like something out of a horror movie mixed with Thriller, it was so SCARY, it had me on the edge of my seat, plus you couldn't see a blinking thing in the middle of the night through that thick, thick, thick fog.🌚🌫 I had a bad feeling when Jesus shouts to Aaron "GO I'VE GOT THIS", we screamed NOOOOOOO you NEVER split up, even more so in this fog, then we see him do his badass acrobatics killing walkers, but I know Rob you were like "WHY", but I could see what Paul Rovia (aka "Jesus") was doing, he decided to stay behind to give the group some time to escape and gain some ground and get ahead with an injured Eugene and wrongly thought he'd be OK and would catch up to them, however, this heroic action would unknowingly cost him his own life, then we were absolutely SHOCKED when we saw what happened, how what ourselves and Jesus thought was a walker ducked and swerved behind Jesus, he pulls out a concealed knife then stabs him in the back through his abdomen right through his heart and WE SCREAMED SO LOUD,😱 (SERIOUSLY I thought the neighbours were going to call the police it was that bad in my house), THEN whispers those chilling words in Jesus's ear, with pure shock on Jesus's face as he's dying, "You are where you do not belong." We cried in disbelief and were left disappointed we didn't get to see more of his martial arts skills he trained up so hard for this show.🥺😢 ********** Fun fact: Tom Payne who plays Paul "Jesus" Rovia, auditioned when he was in London when his agent asked him to audition, so he submitted his reading on tape. Just two days later, he not only found out that he had won the role, but also who he was actually going to be playing. Three days later, he was in Atlanta and getting ready to shoot his first scenes. His defining features is his long and luxurious hair and beard are fake. There was no time to grow long hair and a beard, BUT the make-up team attached fake beard to his face. So it might come as a shock to fans of the series that when he first appeared on The Walking Dead, the locks and facial hair he was sporting were both pretty much fake. These days (later episodes), the beard we see on Jesus is real. The spooky scene was one of the best action-horror sequences the show has ever done, and arguably the best scene of a very solid half-season. Payne is very proud to have gone out like that. He said, "You want to be part of moments in the show, and that's definitely a moment in the show," he says. "If that's all I ever had on the show I'd be happy, because it's something that people will remember. People still talk to me about my first episode, because that was really fun and it was a new, different thing for the show. So to have two of those big moments is special." Payne says working on the show was in some ways a frustrating experience, because Jesus is a martial arts expert, but he only got to show that off a few times. "I have been training ever since I've been on the show, and you would think that he was used a bit more in the Saviors war but it never really happened," he says. "So I was a bit frustrated, like 'this guy's a complete badass, when are we gonna see that again?'" When Payne got the script and found out his number was up, he was ready. "[Showrunner] Angela [Kang] called me just before, and I actually missed the call," he says. "I was texting with my girlfriend and I was like 'Angela just called me, maybe it's 'The Call,' hahaha,' and then I called her back and it was." He says he was prepared for it, though. "I was kind of in a moment of 'well, if they're not gonna give me anything else to do on the show, I'm cool with leaving at any point,' so when she called me I think she was a bit surprised that I was so laid back about it and was like 'oh, ok, cool. As long as we send him out in a cool way," he says. "Because if Jesus is going to die, it has to be a ton of people taking him out or it has to be a surprise, which it ended up being." We finally got to see Jesus go all out in the moments before his surprising death (he's still alive in the comics), slicing up walkers in Zack Snyder-style slow-mo. "I was super happy with it," Payne says. "I think it's a shocking moment, and it introduces this whole new group of characters who are............. AH AHHHH, NO SPOILERS HERE.🤫☝🏽 ********** In the meantime, back at Alexandria Negan is free, let's see what he gets up to next.😂🤔
I’ve been waiting to say this but this is the season I stopped watching the show. I may someday finish it but I just didn’t like it anymore for several reasons I may mention later (although, I believe similarly to Rob, I’ll often stop watching something for several seasons because I don’t want to wait week to week for something) Edit after watching the reaction: I was the opposite. I found the possibility of walkers evolving and speaking far more interesting than people wearing masks (and either option, I feel, breaks pre established rules)
This is one of those episodes that feels like something straight from a nightmare. I LOVE how creepy it is! Jesus was one of my favorite characters, and I was crushed the first time I watched
I'm pretty sure Eugene is wrong. The real dr we met in season 1 said the entire brain dies and the virus just brings back basic instinct from the stem. Eugene never clarified what was truth or not from his backstory so he may just be saying what he knows and making a theory. Word for word he says since the brain is the weak spot it must be alive, and based on regular nature patterns those brains should have the ability to evolve if that is the case.
Negan: "Funny thing about this window here, people stand out there and they talk, and it's like they don't remember I'm here."
Another shocking mid-season finale!! We lost Jesus to what it seems to be our next threat in this universe.

Don’t worry. He’ll be back in three days

LOLL
Come on man😂😂😂😂😂
Or 3 episodes 👀
maaan😂
Always loved the cinematography in this episode the darkness and moon light in the graveyard.
A distracted Father Gabriel is a dangerous thing. Renmember when he left the gate open and let the walkers into Alexandria?
Yeah, Gabriel let threats inside but keeps his congregation outside.
It was a long standing fan theory or at least something the fans wished was a thing, that Fear the Walking Dead could've been an origin series for the Whisperers considering how much Nick used walk among the dead! Hell Alpha's mask even looks like Madison's face!
Aaron plays Red Skull in Avengers Infinity War! You guys did realize they have changed the actor so I thought I should mention it :)
We didn't recognise him back then but yeah people told us about it after :)
Definitely one of my favorite episodes! Great work!
one of the best episodes of the later seasons

great reaction to a great episode. Pretty good storyline what's goin on right now!
RIP Jesus 💜💜💜💜💜💜💔💔💔💔💔
Enid is 19 assuming she was the same age as carl, and aldin is a grown man who has got to be at least 30
In an interview, Katelyn Nacon said Enid is 23 after the time jump, so she was around 15 or 16 when Carl first arrived in Alexandria.
@Acesman12345 well then that makes her relationship with carl even more creepy than her one with alden, so its probably best to just go with her being the same age as carl, who was 12 when he got to Alexandria

This was soooo crazy watching the first time omgg 😭😭
Rip Jesus he was so underrated ❤️
very underutilized could’ve been a bigger character
Laura and DJ are actually highly-ranked members of Alexandria, so there's no way they'd join Negan again.
When is reaction on infinity war coming? I am eagerly waiting for it🧐
Remember when Morgan told Rick, on the episode "Clear" about people wearing dead people's faces?
Those 3 kids with Henry are the same 3 kids who watched Maggie hang Gregory, they’re so damn annoying
Talk about a big kill Jesus is one of If not the best fighters in the show The only way for him to go out was a threat no one had any idea about.
It’s great to see people react knowing absolutely nothing or any context to what to expect I watched the episode knowing it was humans under masks but I can’t imagine how scary it would have been to see that without that knowledge.
What a waist of a great character! Jesus is awesome in the comic and they downplayed him in the show.

Would Rick have "died" if they didn't distract him so Maggie could kill Negan? Daryl went into exile AND searched for Rick's walker. It was easier to stay in the woods than see Michonne, Judith & Rick's son (who never met his dad) everyday. Maggie has a double whammy because she feels guilt and Neagan is proof that Rick's way was the right path. I think she left with Georgie to help other communities because that's where Rick was mentally when he "died." For Michonne, maybe when it comes to light what actually happened (including Oceanside's role), she is pissed. I think Carol & the King are peacemakers, but they aren't Rick, and the breaking of their fellowship happens.
Finally bringing the horror back to TWD with this episode, love it! So sad Jesus had to go :(
This is such a great mid-season.
I was totally shocked about Jesus and the cinematography and element of horror was well done.
You guys have an even better element of surprise than most of us. I love how you have been totally out of the loop and guessing about the walkers. The majority of fans in real time knew exactly what it was even before the season trailer came out.
Lucky dogs! 😉
RIP Jesus. Loved this episode. The fans were all surprised with the talking walking
They're not talking to the walkers, they're talking to each other and the walkers follow the noise
Let's go, my favorite arc hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did, also I'm just going to say it they aren't talking to the walkers they're basically guiding them like shepherds
Crazy thing to think about, is Jesus died probably thinking the walkers evolved 🧟♂️
Gabriel left the door unlocked. The death of Jesus was one of the hardest for me. He was my favorite character from the comics. In the show, the character, in my opinion, was vastly underutilized.
Think about what Negan has done in the past. Killing two loved characters and yet I don't think at this point it's a spoiler to say that he is slowly becoming one of the most interesting well written characters the show has ever had. You may, just may actually start rooting for the guy? Who knows?
This is when Tara reached my all time annoying limit
Yeah she really needs to cool her head off lol
If you haven't seen Sons of Anarchy I really recommend it. It would be fun se your reaction in that show. It's a intense series .
The Whisperers aren't talking to the walkers, they're talking to each other but making it sound as much like the walkers' low moaning/growls as possible so as not to trigger them, then they lead the herd like walker shepherds.
Anyone else think they should've let Jesus turn, after 3 days?
I believe the actor playing Jesus asked to leave the show due to another opportunity. This show is amazing!
I love that you guys have no idea about the crazy but awesome ride you're about to take. 😬 Although, I'm still pissed that we lost Jesus. He was a bad ass. . . and really pretty to look at.
At this point, Rick was gone from the group longer than he was with them so people are gonna be different. It’s been more than six years. For all we know, Rick is going to be an entirely different character when we see him again.
The first part of the season swifts by really quick, the pacing and the script are perfect! 9B is good as well but not as good though
Gabriel always leaving doors and gates open lol.. He did the same at Alexandria in S5 finale lol..
12:32 When Gab left he was angry and just slammed the door shut with out locking it.
Lol guys gabe didn’t lock the door… it’s his thing. He slams it and bounces come on
Jesus dying now shows the threat they now face, you need to be careful of the walkers cos any of them could be a human attacker
Jesus stayed behind to fend off the walkers so the others could focus on getting the gate open without everyone having to keep checking behind them. Walkers aren't really a threat like they were in the beginning, so one person in charge of killing a few at a time makes sense. I love the music for this season, so creepy. Season 9 is one of my favorites. You guys are going to love it. I'm excited for your reaction as the reveal continues.
Remember Gabe didn't lock the cell door...he just slammed it.
AHHH, this reveal had me going crazy 😂 so good
Cet épisode est vraiment bien fait, le décor est incroyable et je trouve qu'il y a un air de "Thriller" de Michael Jackson ! Trop triste pour Jesus... Il va beaucoup nous manquer ! Pleins de nouveaux mystères pour ce nouvel arc ! Trop hâte de voir la suite ❤ on se rapproche doucement de la fin... 😢
Oh just wait till you guys meet the person behind the mask
yess been waiting for this!! joining your patreon on pay day :)
if you think negan was bad wait until you meet this villian
Jesus died thinking he was killed by a Mutated Walker
He asked to be written out of the show and many characters that were important and prominent in the comics were lost all. He was excited to play the character but was severely underutilized and not given the comic storyline
@@evaaussie2643 most were written out or left because the it wasn’t in the budget because the budget was being largely used for a non-comic character who in my opinion was overrated and does not but grunt 90% of the time with an actor who basically plays the same type of characters in every movie and show he does. The network ruined good comic storylines for him.
@@evaaussie2643 personally the network put to much into Daryl due to a certian female demograpics and not looking at the show as a whole but it is what it is lol . I could care less if Rick and Daryl never reunited I was always about the Grimes Family 2.0 since season 3
@@evaaussie2643 he was a wasted gamble for the network thinking he would carry the show after AL left because of the Carl being killed off which is another sore spot with me . Once Chandler reached the age of 18 and was entiltled that adult SAG contract it was a wrtap for him because all the money went to NR
One of my favorite storylines of TWD starts exactly here! Can't wait for you to get to know the leader of the new villains. One of my favorite TWD-characters.❤
everything will be explained :)
In theory them evolving wouldn’t really make much sense , the walkers are literally falling apart if u compare them to earlier seasons , like we can literally rip their faces off by just sliding our hands into their faces , so like they’re becoming weaker tbf lol, like heavy winds and stuff would easily kill them at this point
A lot of changes in 6 years, Michonne seems to be the problem, I guess after what happened with Rick it's made her more protective of her people but some of these are her people too and she needs something to remind her of that but it won't be easy. Henry is so damn annoying, makes you miss Carl. I hate losing Jesus, his character had so much potential
Welcome to a whole new era
gabe left the cell open lol
Another of my favourite episodes.
Great reaction Rob & Trin, I cannot believe you finally made it to "Evolution" and I cannot believe how quickly you got here too. I told you you're in for a rollercoaster🎢 this season.
You're so right Rob, I also remember thinking the same, but thinking both Carol & Ezekiel will be disappointed in Henry's decision to snuck out into the woods in the middle of the foggy night with the teenagers and thought bad influence. I was genuinely worried thinking that smallish herd/horde were going to trap the teens' in their hideout in the woods and kill either all of them or a couple of them.
Gabriel slammed Negan's cell door without checking it was locked before storming out, being distracted and worried about Rosita. He has a habit of doing this doesn't he? Remember in "Conquer" (I think it was back in 5x16) when he returns from his emotional walk after trying to get bitten then changed his mind and killed the walker then the 2nd one being eaten alive on the ground etc when Spencer asked him to shut the gate and he makes a half-hearted attempt to close the gate by pulling it without looking behind him and checking what he was doing and it sort of bounced back open leaving it ajar and a walker gets in and then on Rick's return he finds it open with a clump of hair stuck to the gate?
I found this episode so CREEPY and so full of TENSION right from the start when Rosita woke up in a panic in the infirmary and they tried to get her to lie back down and she said they didn't know what they were dealing with and jumped out of bed. We were like "WHAAAAT, WHAT TELL US ROSITA". Then when we saw Daryl & Dog couldn't turn that herd around and they were heading straight towards that cemetery after our guys helping Eugene, we found it VERY, VERY STRANGE & SUSPICIOUS.
That cemetery scene was like something out of a horror movie mixed with Thriller, it was so SCARY, it had me on the edge of my seat, plus you couldn't see a blinking thing in the middle of the night through that thick, thick, thick fog.🌚🌫
I had a bad feeling when Jesus shouts to Aaron "GO I'VE GOT THIS", we screamed NOOOOOOO you NEVER split up, even more so in this fog, then we see him do his badass acrobatics killing walkers, but I know Rob you were like "WHY", but I could see what Paul Rovia (aka "Jesus") was doing, he decided to stay behind to give the group some time to escape and gain some ground and get ahead with an injured Eugene and wrongly thought he'd be OK and would catch up to them, however, this heroic action would unknowingly cost him his own life, then we were absolutely SHOCKED when we saw what happened, how what ourselves and Jesus thought was a walker ducked and swerved behind Jesus, he pulls out a concealed knife then stabs him in the back through his abdomen right through his heart and WE SCREAMED SO LOUD,😱 (SERIOUSLY I thought the neighbours were going to call the police it was that bad in my house), THEN whispers those chilling words in Jesus's ear, with pure shock on Jesus's face as he's dying, "You are where you do not belong."
We cried in disbelief and were left disappointed we didn't get to see more of his martial arts skills he trained up so hard for this show.🥺😢
**********
Fun fact: Tom Payne who plays Paul "Jesus" Rovia, auditioned when he was in London when his agent asked him to audition, so he submitted his reading on tape. Just two days later, he not only found out that he had won the role, but also who he was actually going to be playing. Three days later, he was in Atlanta and getting ready to shoot his first scenes.
His defining features is his long and luxurious hair and beard are fake. There was no time to grow long hair and a beard, BUT the make-up team attached fake beard to his face.
So it might come as a shock to fans of the series that when he first appeared on The Walking Dead, the locks and facial hair he was sporting were both pretty much fake. These days (later episodes), the beard we see on Jesus is real.
The spooky scene was one of the best action-horror sequences the show has ever done, and arguably the best scene of a very solid half-season. Payne is very proud to have gone out like that. He said, "You want to be part of moments in the show, and that's definitely a moment in the show," he says. "If that's all I ever had on the show I'd be happy, because it's something that people will remember. People still talk to me about my first episode, because that was really fun and it was a new, different thing for the show. So to have two of those big moments is special."
Payne says working on the show was in some ways a frustrating experience, because Jesus is a martial arts expert, but he only got to show that off a few times. "I have been training ever since I've been on the show, and you would think that he was used a bit more in the Saviors war but it never really happened," he says. "So I was a bit frustrated, like 'this guy's a complete badass, when are we gonna see that again?'"
When Payne got the script and found out his number was up, he was ready. "[Showrunner] Angela [Kang] called me just before, and I actually missed the call," he says. "I was texting with my girlfriend and I was like 'Angela just called me, maybe it's 'The Call,' hahaha,' and then I called her back and it was." He says he was prepared for it, though. "I was kind of in a moment of 'well, if they're not gonna give me anything else to do on the show, I'm cool with leaving at any point,' so when she called me I think she was a bit surprised that I was so laid back about it and was like 'oh, ok, cool. As long as we send him out in a cool way," he says. "Because if Jesus is going to die, it has to be a ton of people taking him out or it has to be a surprise, which it ended up being."
We finally got to see Jesus go all out in the moments before his surprising death (he's still alive in the comics), slicing up walkers in Zack Snyder-style slow-mo. "I was super happy with it," Payne says. "I think it's a shocking moment, and it introduces this whole new group of characters who are............. AH AHHHH, NO SPOILERS HERE.🤫☝🏽

In the meantime, back at Alexandria Negan is free, let's see what he gets up to next.😂🤔
4:03 You wanted him to DIE a couple seasons ago and now you want him to leave his jail cell??? Oh how the turn tables lmao
Whisper, whisper 🎶
This is my favorite season and the scene in the graveyard is why. Back to horror vibes and I love it.
I’ve been waiting to say this but this is the season I stopped watching the show. I may someday finish it but I just didn’t like it anymore for several reasons I may mention later (although, I believe similarly to Rob, I’ll often stop watching something for several seasons because I don’t want to wait week to week for something)
Edit after watching the reaction: I was the opposite. I found the possibility of walkers evolving and speaking far more interesting than people wearing masks (and either option, I feel, breaks pre established rules)
This is one of those episodes that feels like something straight from a nightmare. I LOVE how creepy it is! Jesus was one of my favorite characters, and I was crushed the first time I watched
Jesus 😢❤️ RIP
I'm pretty sure Eugene is wrong. The real dr we met in season 1 said the entire brain dies and the virus just brings back basic instinct from the stem. Eugene never clarified what was truth or not from his backstory so he may just be saying what he knows and making a theory. Word for word he says since the brain is the weak spot it must be alive, and based on regular nature patterns those brains should have the ability to evolve if that is the case.
I was terrified the first time I saw that guy dodging Jesus's swing
I wish you could whisper in the comments to hide spoilers, because I can't say anything I'm just too riveted with what is to come.
