Well I certainly didn't expect Michonne to go all Anakin Skywalker on those kids, but she was truly in the unthinkable situation. And really, Danai Gurira showed in this episode why she's such an in demand actress and will eventually leave this show next year. We could easily be talking about her in awards discussions in the future. Whether it was her having the heartbreaking heart to heart with Judith, threatening Negan, or just 1v1 with Daryl, shes one of the best actors working on this show.
Backing this episode with flashbacks as to how Daryl and Michonne ended up with those scars was a nice touch, especially since it almost perfectly mirrors the storyline with the Whisperers now. Alpha and Jocelyn are not all that different. But as I've previously said, I don't care what the story is, I'll take anything that involves a Michonne centric episode.
In what was almost like a True Detective style episode, Walking Dead is once again proving me wrong by showing we don't need Rick to continue this show after all.
8.5/10
