Glenn was the first choice to appear. Because it was Glenn that introduced Rick to the Atlanta group. However, Steven Yeun said no. Sasha was the second choice since Sash sacrificed her life in the finale episode of Season 7. So it’s like: Shane = Strength Herschel = Wisdom Sasha = Sacrifice Btw, Carl was never considered.
No but like how is Rick's send off even considered anything close to a "perfect" send off? Two reasons why Rick dies at the beginning of season 9 was because Andrew Lincoln wanted to spend more time with family and because the producers did not want to pay Chandler Riggs an adult wage. This is what happens to most characters in the show. Laurie Holden got essentially fired after being promised an 8 year contract only after a few years on set DESPITE just buying a house in Atlanta to get on set faster, IronE gets fired because he didn't care much for the show after not being allowed to do essentially anything for 2 whole seasons. The writers essentially makes Beth kill herself attacking Dawn because they write her as a very ignorant/stubborn character, Coleman gets killed literally the same episode to a fucking child zombie, Tom Payne gets killed off after doing nothing for the entirety of season 8. And don't get me started on the last 2 seasons. So many scenes are awkwardly written, the plot is just so dislikeable and the cast has slowly been withering away, slowly but surely. So many moments of the show stray so far away from the comic, and in my opinion, when the show follows the comic, like Glenn's death, it creates a memorable and emotional moment, but when the show doesn't follow the comic, like Abrahams death which is immediately followed by Glenn's death, makes it a less memorable moment for Abraham specifically. Had the show followed the comic, Abrahams death would be remembered by many people and have meaning and we'd have him longer on the show which I don't think anyone would say no to. Lets hope they don't screw up the 6 episodes.
Whats sad is that rick was the only one who had hope in the bridge when nobody else did but when he tried to bring the walkers to it expecting it to collapse, it held. Which proved him right but at the worst time
@@thethriftytypewriter I get emotional everytime I see the scene of Rick and hershel reminds me of my own Passed on Grandfather ,man I miss watching the show
They used the dynamite in an earlier episode to redirect the horde. Also I believe if Rick saw Carl or Glenn it probably would’ve been his death. Sasha was someone who lost everything and still sacrificed herself for the group, she was also family especially during the dog days of s5
I agree Sasha was a weird addition, I'd guess they still had her on contract after she died in the show and saved some work by using her, canonically I guess they were trying to show that his "family" wasn't just Carl, Lori, Judith, but everyone he met on the journey. That being said Tyrese,Dale, Glen, or maybe even Andrea could have been super exciting to see. Andrea could have seen how Rick choose to save the people of Woodbury and befriended Michonne and told him he hadn't "gone cold" after all
Sasha made sense b/c she gave Rick and CO a chance to fight back after Negan and the scavengers had them all held at gun point. Had Sasha not killed herself and came out of the coffin still alive. Negan would have probably killed her in self defense then the scavengers would have killed Rick and the others
@@thethriftytypewriter Laurie Holden was originally going to survive but the showrunner at the time made the very last minute decision to kill her off without actually informing her ahead of time. I think that act kind of left a sour taste in Laurie’s mouth. She also probably wasn’t even considered.
This episode along with ‘The Day will come when you won’t be’ are some of my favourite episodes of the Walking Dead. What Comes After was perfect send of to Rick Grimes while still moving the story forward by introducing the older Judith and Magna’s group.
yep ı think so. final moments of 6×16 and entire 7×1 are one of the best. it was really tense and well written but also hard to watch. ı totally liked it.
I disagree, him seeing Sasha represented sacrifice, like in 7x16 where she gave her life to save everyone, and Rick attempted the same in this very Episode. Him seeing Carl or Lori would've secured his death.
Carl or Lori would’ve been great. Sasha doesn’t make any real sense, and you could tell she was the only other actor/actress they could get. The other two cameos were great, though.
Carl did not appear in any hallucination because Rick was searching for his family for the whole episode. If he had found Carl even in a flashback - he would stop running, accept his death
Them using Carl wouldn’t have made sense simply because Rick is spending the whole episode trying to find his family so him doing that mid ep would’ve ruined the pay off of his last line. Glen would’ve been the best choice by far simply due to their relationship throughout the show. Abraham would’ve also been a good choice that the fans would’ve also loved
Hell yes it was. I watched it again after some years of not seeing Rick Grimes in the show, and man. His acting is just on another level. He made the show. Can't wait for his return.
@@Literally_Him_ if he was to do a cameo over the radio like how he was introduced in the pilot, he could've just read some lines over the phone for amc.
If Rick had seen Carl or Lori, he would have died, he would have found his original family. His living family are people that he met and survived with along the way. Sasha was an odd addition, but she helped him realize that he had found his family after all.
His last line is very poetic cause his first words in the show were along the lines of “I’m looking for my family” and his last words were “I found them”
Yes, this episode was a great way to bring Rick journey to an end in the Walking Dead show. Well acted, well written and very well directed Can’t wait to see Rick again in the upcoming Rick & Michonne series
I really loved Sasha and her story, she became so suicidal in season 5 and gave her life to protect the group in s7 and it directly correlated to Rick’s sacrifice not only on the bridge but the entire show
I didn't like how they had Daryl cry like he woke up that day knowing Rick was gonna die and he was just waiting for the moment. Michonne had a more natural reaction to his supposed death
Andrew Lincoln's Rick Grimes is one of the best leading men on television. Seriously underrated performance. This episode was fantastic, just wish they would've brought back Lori/Carl.
Holy shit. I stopped being emotional about this show towards the end. But this video you made ripped my guts out. Hershel. I cried so hard when I heard about Mr. Wilson’s passing, and so soon after this episode. Sometimes I just watch this scene to feel something. Lol. You’ve made such a beautiful tribute to Hershel. ❤
So looking forward to seeing the legend Rick Grimes on my screen again, since leaving and multiple rewatches, he has gained true legendary status for me as one of the greatest characters in television history. It's been my number one hype for this franchise since he left, can't wait to see how his story ends. He IS the Walking Dead. An absolute travesty the Emmys completely ignore the Horror genre, Andrew Lincoln would've won it all. Incredible acting 100% at all times.
Glenn definitely should've been the one to replace Sasha. I mean, just imagine Rick wandering thru his hallucination and then someone stands up behind him just to say "Hey.. dumbass" (a callback to literally the very first words Glenn ever said to Rick). Would've been much more satisfying for the last person Rick hallucinates about to be the 1st (technically 2nd if you count Morgan) person that saved his life in the series.
Mr Typewriter. I stopped watching the walking dead around the Negen/Glenn era. Not because of the story or the characters (i had read past that in the comic so i was already more or less aware), but because of an IRL breakup years ago. Blah blah that was 'our show' and with the breakup I couldn't watch any longer. MAIN POINT: I'm glad i'm getting caught up through your channel, especially because of how in many videos you tell us the "ideal" plot of the episodes despite any jank that occurred in the actual television production.
Your tribute to Scott Wilson made me cry so hard. Very nice. Also if you see this, thank you for producing so much positive TWD content. I just binged so many of your videos but this is the only comment I was able to make. Thank you thank you.
I don't get how y'all don't know about the Sasha situation. So that's what I got from it that Rick Grimes was so appreciative with what Sasha did for him to start the war against him and Negan. she sacrificed herself for him and the group AKA her family with Rick is a part of and possibly held her high regard for being a reason why they're in the position that they are now otherwise it would have ended that day. So if Sasha was the beginning of a war to bring Rick back from being the scared cowardice version of him. It was fitting for her to send him off saying that you found your family like I did when I sacrificed myself for them
the best thing about the Sasha scene was the nod to the comic, in which one of the variant covers for issue #100 was Rick standing amongst the bodies just like they did on the tv show.
I wanna take this moment to have a little fun and try to explain the dynamite. Although the dynamite may be convienet i think it easy to assume that it was going to be used to redirect the herd. If you recall, there was a moment between Rosita and Arat where they were blowing a rock slide to redirect the herd (I believe). So maybe for the same reason, they were transporting the dynamite to its location but got left on the bridge due to the commotion at the campsite (Between Carol and Saviors). Leading to a random box of dynamite being left on their newly built bridge.
I think the reason Sasha makes some sense is because of her sacrifice for them all in season seven, she killed herself to give them an opening, and if anyone remembers, Carl was the only reason Sasha and Tyreese survived long enough to join the group. It wasn't the impact that Sasha let on Rick, more so the impact she left on Carl. She was one of the first people he truly saved and he was there when they saw she was dead, so it does make some sense when you think about it for it to be Sasha in that scene. (It would've been Glenn, but Steven Yeun didn't want to come back, and Carl wasn't even an option after the way they let Chandler Riggs go.) I understand it's not the happy scene we all wanted, but the logistics are all there if you think about it.
That episode is so so good but i wish carl was still alive so he could be the next leader of Alexandria and we could have see how carl would act when rick is dead so in that way they could really kill rick off and not to save him for another time to return because we had a new rick called CARL GRIMES
I’m fully convinced the only reason we haven’t seen the helicopters is because of how cheap AMC is. Watching season 10 for the first time it’s incredibly jarring how they’ve “discovered” aerial drone footage. I think the reason they went with Sasha instead Carl was because the entire arc of this episode was Rick having to accept that he was going to die and his bridge would be destroyed. He needed to understand that they could rebuild it without him, just like how Sasha had faith that what she did would have an impact despite knowing she would be dead before she ever saw the results. And in the end her sacrifice is what gave our group the upper hand on the saviours in the first place. I think a lot of people forget that about Sasha because it’s a very weirdly paced season and episode. Carl died helping some random guy, there’s not much crossover.
4:30 Yesss. Finally someone got the "Don't Dead, Open Inside" right. I have heard people say "Don't Open, Dead Inside" which makes no sense because that's not what the door says.
i discovered your channel recently, and i’ve loved watching your walking dead videos while getting ready for work in the morning or sitting on the bus. this show has been a big part of my life for a long time so it’s nice to listen to you give your thoughts on it.
I had the pleasure to meet scott at a comic con. I walked right up to him and said sir i dont have money for a pic and i dont want an autograph. I asked if i could simply shake his hand and thanked him for his performance and overall effect he left on me as hershel. Genuinely a great man. Rest in peace.
I hadn't thought about it until now, but I feel like Daryl 100% blames himself for Rick's death as him distracting Rick was what inevitably lead to Rick's apparent death.
Years back, when HBO confirmed Andrew Lincoln in the lead-role, I made a face & said : " ha! what bollocks! he was The Wanker in Human Traffic (1999.) "
if you havent already, i would love an episode on hershal. he was my favorite character. so many of his scenes made me emotional with how wise and kind he always was
I think they may have used Herschel, Sasha and Shane for the flashbacks because the last we saw of them, they were Walkers. It almost replaces the final memory of them as 'monsters' and show them who really are and who us, and Rick, should remember them as. People who may have been more fitting, like Glenn, Carl, Andrea, Lori, etcetera were not seen as turned as they were mercy killed before they became Walkers. I don't know, just a weird theory I've been thinking recently! Love these videos!
The only reason Judith was able to handle the kick of the revolver even though she is to young to be able to actually handle it is because she was the daughter of Shane / Rick and raised by Rick Daryl Carol Maggie and Michonne. Judith is probably the toughest person her age and shes so badass that not even the kick from the Grimes family revolver has any effect on her
1. The river makes a bend I guess, hence Carol and co can divert the walkers sideways (but yeah, not shown on screen) 2. I guess that Chandler was still in dispute with amc and hence a replacement was needed (Sasha) 3. The dynamite was talked about 1 or 2 episodes before, it was planned to make a rock collapse to block off a herd (but yeah, not enough set up and why is it on the bridge) 4. Could be the dynamite made the part of the bridge rick was standing on collapse and he just fell down into the water.
Sasha's cameo was most likely purely just an actor availability thing. Steven, Chandler and Sarah probably didn't want to come back/had other projects on.
At the end of the very first episode of the walking dead "days gone by", a song called space junk plays. this is the first episode we meet rick in. In the episode "what comes after", which is ricks last episode in the series, when rick is being taken away in the helicopter, space junk once again plays. this is the last episode in this series that we see rick in. both times when this song plays his fate is very up in the air. this song was in the episodes with the introduction of the main protagonist, and the send off of the main protagonist. it's also a very fitting song, as both time it plays, rick is in the need of help from someone else, he's not able to get out of the situation on his own.
I honestly hated the fact that Rick was just picked up by the helicopter. I remember that the whole episode was so emotional but in the last few minutes I was like „yeah whatever, he‘s fine i guess“
I am most likely mistaken but I want to a conversation about the dynamite was had in an earlier episode. I think Eugene was waiting for it to help blow boulders or debris blocking the path to the bridge. If I’m not mistaken, it was stolen by one of the renegade Saviors working on the bridge. I could very well be wrong but I want to say I do remember it being discussed. Same episode where Justin was murdered
They were using dynamite to blow stuff up in episode prior they failed at redirecting herd that was drawn to explosion and that's how Aaron lost his arm definitely placed on bridge for plot convenience
I feel that instead of Sasha speaking with Rick, it should’ve been Glenn, or maybe even Tyreese, because I remember more scenes of Rick and Tyreese building a connection than I did with Rick and Sasha.
I do agree Sasha was an odd choice, but I actually disagree with Carl being the one who should have been there. He keeps talking about finding his family, but Shane and Hershel were both members of his “found family” and two of the most influential people of them. Personally I think Glenn would have been the best possible option. Maybe Dale since he was the first wise voice of reason for the group but i still feel like that may have fallen a little short. Another way they could have gone was showing the Governor as kind of a tormenting voice Rick would have to stand up to. That could have given things a sense of the Governor being a voice of guilt, Hershel being a voice of forgiveness, and Shane being a voice of acceptance that he did what he had to do and became what he had to become.
I took a break from the walking dead for a while after Glenn, this was the first episode I saw until then. I watched it with my brother when it aired and it made me cry and I went back and watched from the beginning again. I love this show so much. I still need to finish season 9 and start season 10 but this definitely makes me want to just restart again 😅
Carl would have made more sense in terms of fan service as well as influence on Rick... BUT, Sasha actually fits better for the Wizard Of Oz theory... not the characters themselves but that they were the missing parts: Shane - Brains, Hershel - Heart, Sasha - Courage... It can be debated who was what but when zeroed in on what each of them say to Rick, it is unmistakable.
@@thethriftytypewriter I honestly don't remember where I heard or possibly if I just imagined it... but Oz references have been infused so much that it's its own trope. Still, it does fit that narrative of point A to point B pretty well.
I feel like the Sasha scene should have been Glenn. But, I know he was busy at the time and couldn’t come back. I still feel if it was Glenn, it is more fitting since Glenn did save Rick when he was stuck in the tank.
100000% agree w/ the 3rd encounter. Sasha & him never had the connection of Shane & Hershel, just didn't have the same impact. Should've been Carl TO BE HONEST. If not then some1 like Tyreese, Abraham or Glenn. I always assumed it was only Sasha cause she was the easiest to get available.
What always make me laugh is nobody heard the helicopter. Those things are bloody loud, we hear them coming miles away around here in the countryside. It should have been Glen being the third “dead” person to visit him, but the actor refused to do it iirc.
I think Jadis will have a redemption arc, she will sacrifice his life for rick grimes, same song when Glenn saves rick from walkers in the first episode
It would’ve been way better if Rick saw Glenn in the don’t open dead inside doors, Rick looking around at all the bodies and then hearing “hey dumbass” turning around and seeing Glenn, then Glenn giving this similar speech Sasha does. That would’ve hit SO MUCH HARDER especially due to all of the conflict between Maggie and negan in this episode as well, would’ve been 100x better.
Glenn was the first choice to appear. Because it was Glenn that introduced Rick to the Atlanta group. However, Steven Yeun said no. Sasha was the second choice since Sash sacrificed her life in the finale episode of Season 7. So it’s like:
Shane = Strength
Herschel = Wisdom
Sasha = Sacrifice
Btw, Carl was never considered.
They didn’t wanna pay him adult wages

i discovered your channel recently, and i’ve loved watching your walking dead videos while getting ready for work in the morning or sitting on the bus. this show has been a big part of my life for a long time so it’s nice to listen to you give your thoughts on it.
I appreciate that a lot! Hope I can help you start the day off right! 😂
You tube sent me and I'm glad. This video was awesome. Now I'll go watch the rest. Great job. Time to subscribe
Oh man you have me emotional with Scott Wilson. I can't believe it's been 5 years well 6 years since we're in March 2024.
Yeah I think this episode should of been the series finale and episode 6 starts a spinoff that’s my head cannon
@@justinpatton6996yeah I think so.
I had the pleasure to meet scott at a comic con. I walked right up to him and said sir i dont have money for a pic and i dont want an autograph. I asked if i could simply shake his hand and thanked him for his performance and overall effect he left on me as hershel. Genuinely a great man. Rest in peace.
I hadn't thought about it until now, but I feel like Daryl 100% blames himself for Rick's death as him distracting Rick was what inevitably lead to Rick's apparent death.
wow I just now watched this episode 10 mins ago for the first time. can't wait to watch it
Shane’s return was sick
Lol the way he says "rick runs into Sasha" even sounds like he too sees how ridiculous it is
I just watched this episode and I almost cried when they brought back Hershel, he was my favorite character of the older seasons.
love this my guy, I suggested it and you gave us the content we want to see.
thanks bro 👍
same I suggested under every video of this kind
Man I subscribed to this channel because I wanted to look at typewriters but I need to check this "television" it looks good
these videos are so great i have no idea how you aren't more popular
That part where Shane tells Rick to "wake up," scared the 💩 out of me! hahahaha
I fucking LOVE Rick Grimes.
You’re the absolute best!
Years back, when HBO confirmed Andrew Lincoln in the lead-role, I made a face & said :
" ha! what bollocks! he was The Wanker in Human Traffic (1999.) "
This show is gonna touch ma damn heart
if you havent already, i would love an episode on hershal. he was my favorite character. so many of his scenes made me emotional with how wise and kind he always was
Maggie not killing Negan is the most out of character choice she made in the show.
Love this episode analysis. Andrew Lincoln was amazing as Rick!
I think they may have used Herschel, Sasha and Shane for the flashbacks because the last we saw of them, they were Walkers. It almost replaces the final memory of them as 'monsters' and show them who really are and who us, and Rick, should remember them as. People who may have been more fitting, like Glenn, Carl, Andrea, Lori, etcetera were not seen as turned as they were mercy killed before they became Walkers. I don't know, just a weird theory I've been thinking recently! Love these videos!
The only reason Judith was able to handle the kick of the revolver even though she is to young to be able to actually handle it is because she was the daughter of Shane / Rick and raised by Rick Daryl Carol Maggie and Michonne. Judith is probably the toughest person her age and shes so badass that not even the kick from the Grimes family revolver has any effect on her
that sounds a bit silly tbh..
@@DM-Oz nah. The girl has bones of titanium and the muscles of a T-Rex.
1. The river makes a bend I guess, hence Carol and co can divert the walkers sideways (but yeah, not shown on screen)
2. I guess that Chandler was still in dispute with amc and hence a replacement was needed (Sasha)
3. The dynamite was talked about 1 or 2 episodes before, it was planned to make a rock collapse to block off a herd (but yeah, not enough set up and why is it on the bridge)
4. Could be the dynamite made the part of the bridge rick was standing on collapse and he just fell down into the water.
RIP Scott Wilson
Sasha's cameo was most likely purely just an actor availability thing. Steven, Chandler and Sarah probably didn't want to come back/had other projects on.
At the end of the very first episode of the walking dead "days gone by", a song called space junk plays. this is the first episode we meet rick in. In the episode "what comes after", which is ricks last episode in the series, when rick is being taken away in the helicopter, space junk once again plays. this is the last episode in this series that we see rick in. both times when this song plays his fate is very up in the air. this song was in the episodes with the introduction of the main protagonist, and the send off of the main protagonist. it's also a very fitting song, as both time it plays, rick is in the need of help from someone else, he's not able to get out of the situation on his own.
I honestly hated the fact that Rick was just picked up by the helicopter. I remember that the whole episode was so emotional but in the last few minutes I was like „yeah whatever, he‘s fine i guess“
the character Rick is the heart and head of the show, some say Daryl. all character exist today because of Rick training.
I am most likely mistaken but I want to a conversation about the dynamite was had in an earlier episode. I think Eugene was waiting for it to help blow boulders or debris blocking the path to the bridge. If I’m not mistaken, it was stolen by one of the renegade Saviors working on the bridge.
I could very well be wrong but I want to say I do remember it being discussed. Same episode where Justin was murdered
Rick escaped Knowby Cabin easier than any other person who's ever entered it.
THE BEST VIDS EVER
They were using dynamite to blow stuff up in episode prior they failed at redirecting herd that was drawn to explosion and that's how Aaron lost his arm definitely placed on bridge for plot convenience
You made me cry
I feel that instead of Sasha speaking with Rick, it should’ve been Glenn, or maybe even Tyreese, because I remember more scenes of Rick and Tyreese building a connection than I did with Rick and Sasha.
This whole video made me so emotional
I do agree Sasha was an odd choice, but I actually disagree with Carl being the one who should have been there. He keeps talking about finding his family, but Shane and Hershel were both members of his “found family” and two of the most influential people of them. Personally I think Glenn would have been the best possible option. Maybe Dale since he was the first wise voice of reason for the group but i still feel like that may have fallen a little short. Another way they could have gone was showing the Governor as kind of a tormenting voice Rick would have to stand up to. That could have given things a sense of the Governor being a voice of guilt, Hershel being a voice of forgiveness, and Shane being a voice of acceptance that he did what he had to do and became what he had to become.
I took a break from the walking dead for a while after Glenn, this was the first episode I saw until then. I watched it with my brother when it aired and it made me cry and I went back and watched from the beginning again. I love this show so much. I still need to finish season 9 and start season 10 but this definitely makes me want to just restart again 😅
I wish he got to see Bob, Glenn or Carl again in the visions
Carl would have made more sense in terms of fan service as well as influence on Rick... BUT, Sasha actually fits better for the Wizard Of Oz theory... not the characters themselves but that they were the missing parts: Shane - Brains, Hershel - Heart, Sasha - Courage... It can be debated who was what but when zeroed in on what each of them say to Rick, it is unmistakable.
I’ve never heard this Wizard of Oz theory but I like it! I’ll have to give it some more research 🧐
@@thethriftytypewriter I honestly don't remember where I heard or possibly if I just imagined it... but Oz references have been infused so much that it's its own trope. Still, it does fit that narrative of point A to point B pretty well.
I feel like the Sasha scene should have been Glenn. But, I know he was busy at the time and couldn’t come back. I still feel if it was Glenn, it is more fitting since Glenn did save Rick when he was stuck in the tank.
I’m not crying, you’re crying
Maybe he sees Sacha as she was one of the most recently dead
Completely agree about Scott Wilson playing Herschel. He was my favourite (next to Rick). RIP Scott Wilson.
I heard that nick death music in the background. That soundtrack kills me.
100000% agree w/ the 3rd encounter. Sasha & him never had the connection of Shane & Hershel, just didn't have the same impact.
Should've been Carl TO BE HONEST. If not then some1 like Tyreese, Abraham or Glenn.
I always assumed it was only Sasha cause she was the easiest to get available.
What always make me laugh is nobody heard the helicopter. Those things are bloody loud, we hear them coming miles away around here in the countryside.
It should have been Glen being the third “dead” person to visit him, but the actor refused to do it iirc.
Love this channel sir! Keep up the hard work. You'll be at 50k in no time! Thanks 😭
You know a gritty, dark character is going to hit different when the casted actor is British and was previously known most for romantic roles.
Bro why do i nearly cry every time i hear him say "I found them". Fucking hell, Rick truly is iconic
I feel like they missed a great moment to have Rick talk with Glenn (If they could get Steven back) because it all started with Glenn
I think Jadis will have a redemption arc, she will sacrifice his life for rick grimes, same song when Glenn saves rick from walkers in the first episode
She survives as we se her in world beyond
I also think this is the end of
The Walking Dead. Then Ep 6 starts Walking Dead. "The" ended with Rick. "Walking" starts the reboot
This episode and here's negan are probably my top 5 episodes. It's hard to figure my entire top five.
Great review of this episode! Hope your next video covers Season 1 of Tales of The Walking Dead now that it wrapped up last week!
Glenn or Carl showing up instead of sasha, or maybe even both, would have been sooooo much more fitting
It would’ve been way better if Rick saw Glenn in the don’t open dead inside doors, Rick looking around at all the bodies and then hearing “hey dumbass” turning around and seeing Glenn, then Glenn giving this similar speech Sasha does. That would’ve hit SO MUCH HARDER especially due to all of the conflict between Maggie and negan in this episode as well, would’ve been 100x better.
3:20 idk i think gleen would be happy to see negan dead
