    WOW, what an absolutely fantastic premiere!!!! This episode was so good, the flow and story telling was incredible seeing everything from Rick's side being in the CRM and learning he's attempted escape 4 times. Getting more detail on the A's and B's was really awesome!! Next episode will definitely be Michonne's journey to then finding Rick, then remainder of Season is them fighting back against the CRM and potentially getting more people to join their fight!!!

      I think AMC, the producers and everybody involved, especially Andrew Lincoln made a great decision to produce The Ones Who Live. I thought all along that they should've just made the Rick story a show instead of movies, but I understand what they were aiming for. My opinion it would have been great as movie form, but we all know 2020 changed everything. I think the shutdowns stopped and delayed a lot of projects that were in progress out there. Just like the strike this past year did. Next thing you know years passed by with nothing made yet. I'm just thankful that they were able to round up all the troops to get it done and done right. I think they all knocked that premiere episode out of the park. I thought it was a damn near perfect episode in my opinion. As much as I like Daryl or Carol or Negan, Michonne, Maggie, etc and the other spinoffs. Rick has and will always be the GOAT of TWD period. It started with him and he snuck in right at the end of S11 to start his extended story. In my opinion Andrew Lincoln has always killed it as Rick Grimes. His acting was always so spot on and perfectly believable, especially those emotional scenes. He was cheated out of so many awards during the shows run. Like I said I loved the episode and think it was pretty much perfect. The only thing I would have changed were maybe had it extended a little longer than it already was. Maybe add another 15-20 mins and show him landing hurt in the helicopter and pull a little bit of him reuniting with Michonne in episode 2 into the premiere. But hey I'll always want more and will take a much as they give to us. We've all waited "Years" and it's great to finally see the GOAT back.

    The reason why they went with him cutting off his hand, was to show how desperate he was wanting to escape and to get back to his family.
    This was just for the fans who criticized on Rick not doing everything to get back. Now we know what lengths he went through on trying to get away. Not many people probably not even 1% of people would cut off their hand to get away. That’s my take. Sure he could have cut the cord , but it wouldn’t been impactful.
    Great reaction to the both of you.
    And this episode was just as great as the pilot of the original series

    It may not be as iconic as the comic, but I think him losing his hand during an escape shows just how determined he is, how low he was, how powerful the CRM is, and partially why he has been gone so long (after so much triage and recovery periods). I think the function works quite well for the story beyond bad guy does bad thing.

    I just wanna say, when I watched the series "LOST", I got so invested in it, I thought I could never get into another series again, because it was THAT good, it was a lot, like a lot of time invested and well worth it fir me) Then The Walking Dead came along with all of its spinoffs; I watched them all and enjoyed them all. Each, somehow, connected one to the other. The fact that Major General Beale is played by Terry O'Quinn did everything for me. It came full circle because he also played John Locke in LOST, who happened to be one of the main characters and I LOVED him in LOST. So the only 2 "bigger" series I watched all the way through (with captions on so I didn't miss a beat on both shows) has one of my favorite actors and i couldn't be more excited. Full circle 🔄

      I never saw police use red lights at nights, the patrol cops carry normal flashlights usually.
      Red light is more used in the military in operations at night because it's the least visible color in the light spectrum. That's how I recall it anyway. So it serves as a tactical advantage and also in this show for CRM, as a style aspect to give them a more distinct look I guess. At night.

    rick cutting his hand off does make sense. he's been attached to that wire for years whenever they'd go out. they wouldn't put a wire on him that could be cut by any weapon, let alone an axe that they give him. in a move of desperation, he cuts off the hand. he cant escape when he's back at the base and he couldn't escape when they went outside of it. so off with the hand. anything to get back to his family. and the place he was in mentally furthers the reason.

    I heard something earlier that made sense…Okafur mentioned the “summit” in a years time, and wasn’t this show going to be called Summit at one point? Just seems as if it could be linked…maybe that’s an endgame scenario? Or one of them?
    And I liked Okafur! Sad to see him go so soon. He wasn’t perfect but could have been a huge help even though Beale was on to him. Shoot, maybe it was even Beale who shot them down, we don’t know yet. I know michonnes people are there but….u never know.
    Also, the lack of music and sounds during the moment Rick/Michonne see each other makes it so much more powerful. Just my opinion though haha

I just REALLY, do not like that they had Rick cut off his hand.. now, after so many years and Aaron already kinda taking on that vibe anyway. It feels really lame and unnecessary. If they wanted to up the stakes, I would have been more intrigued by the loss of a foot, honestly, and then to see Rick come out stronger through THAT struggle but.. I can overlook the hand thing because I'm already so invested. And not just because they have a South African character in TWD universe and me being proud af lol 🇿🇦✊ .

    They have to earn their citizenship just like in the Commonwealth. They just didn't make people wait 6 years.
    I think Okafor wanted/wants Rick (and Pearl) to take down the CRM, but he never said those exact words to them. I'm hoping we see him more in flashbacks. He was too good for just one episode.

    Should TWD continue? I firmly believe that the core cast should continue and there should be a spin off reuniting them and reasserting themselves into the new world order..seasons 11 through whenever. The writing, acting, set design, and isolated plots within the core plot are constantly entertaining and it would be a shame if the series ever really would end! Listen up Scott Gimple and others! Kept trying to escape..but once again..I was trapped..haha! Love the potiential of further character development in Daryl and Carol’s spin off..Maggie and Negan need way more attention in The Dead City..what a great exploratory set in NYC! And for GODS Sake! Stop making Maggie such a spinster and goodie 2 shoes! Negan is begging for a real love interest and the only one to change him is Maggie. I’d pay top dollar to watch a movie..even more mullah to see a United reunion of the separate spin offs and so would 1/3rd of the population! Drag it out and on because it isn’t failing at all. AMC used to be a niche channel..only due to TWD is AMC reaching new venues and audiences..with that alone they should invest in a new unique ultimate tv series..containing all core characters and beyond..it’s better than the longevity of Star Trek, Star Wars, Jaws, Hunger Games, and Jason all combined..Past the iconic audience of that of the old shows like ER, Friends, and Law and Order..make it smarter, exclusive locations, and bring in some love interests with a strong flex to the usual survival of the fittest ideal. TWD has me entranced and from day 1. Generational stories could develop with the children, even!😊

    We return again watching TWD-content with The Ones Who Live. Reunion was solid as it's direct to the point and now we finally have an answer to the bombings of Atlanta and LA via Operation Cobalt happened long time ago.
    Now... I have a big hypothetical theory to laid out here:
    Okafor is onto something alright. He wants to change and he's gonna need the people he can get. Cementing his own legacy as leaving it to Rick and Pearl continuing what he laid out on his blueprints. Okafor sees the CRM problems, deep damn problems. You know how the CRM was being run by militaristic-dictatorship that has the territory like a US-state that kept functioning after the centralized-government collapsed. And how they want to kill anyone who stands in their way in the name of progress and maintaining their secrecy? I can tell by his body language that CRM is not doing really good enough.
    Okafor picks Pearl and Rick for a reason. He sees in them they could change things for the better. He needs the exact kind of leaders that Okafor would want. I can hypothetically guess that Rick can take the entire country (CRM and the other two-cities alliances) with a catch. With help of some good-CRM officials that they still want to do good and fighting against their evil CRM overlords.
    Imagine this as Rick tries to convince the CRM officials by going over his side. Changing themselves and drop the secrecy BS and kill anyone that's in the way-method. They need to build a better world, a better version of themselves using Rick's ways. Folks like Major General Beale, Jadis and etc. of course will not accept this. Think about it and what if there's still good people in the CRM that they are afraid to fight against their overlords? Haven't they had enough? What's the point of all this? Is this the right way of rebuilding the world using violent-methods that the CRM is doing? This will stick to the minds of every average citizens and troops of the Civic Republic Military. And this will hit them hard on what the fuck are they doing. They'll have a reality check when the time finally arrives. It's time for the average citizens and soldiers of the CRM to step up and change the system. And finally ousting their evil CRM overlords.
    Oh man my ideas be going wild if the CRM goes into a "civil-war" and make no mistake when i say this. It's gonna be a hundred times larger than the Commonwealth's rebellion in the comics. We'll see inner-circle officials, regular officials and military-units of the CRM splitting that goes on the side of Rick and those who retained remain loyal to Major General Beale. Two bigger forces fighting each other between the old world and the new world in the post-apocalyptic world. This would be crazy as shit. And lastly i can imagine Rick pulling "We are not The Walking Dead" thing in front of the speakers while the fighting is on-going during it's peak or during it's conclusion. It would be just that.

    Wanted to put my thoughts here before I watch the reaction. I watched the episode last night. Kept my expectations low so I’d be prepared to be blown out of the water. It was so amazing to see Rick back on our screens. The ambience of the episode was interesting. Gave a clear insight into what the world looked like where Rick had ended up. Dark, gritty, unfamiliar. Obviously this is a Rick we’ve not seen before. Surviving without his family and friends around him. But holding onto that little bit of hope that he can make it back. I’ll post another comment after I watch your reaction NocBro Nation. Thank you for your video.

I also think it being a dumb move was kind of on purpose if that makes any sense, like rick in a clear state of mind would have never made that decision purely based off of how outnumbered he was and how many soldiers were around, he knows he would have never made it but he was so desperate he just did it without thinking, if that makes sense.
