Low expectations, better than the expectation

I have to say I have really enjoyed Season 10 so far, 9 set the show back on it's original path in great ways exceeding the few couple of seasons before it and became one of my favourites. 10 I still feel the same way if not better, as a comic reader I knew what kind of storylines would be happening and from seeing sneak peeks and promos I was little worried thinking this would be the return of the filler episodes..... I was wrong!

I'll cover the smaller parts of episode first, that being Siddiq and Dante dealing with the sickness bug spreading throughout Alexandria and Eugene coming into a contact over the radio.

As for the Eugene part I expected it to be a slow burn but I actually felt intrigued and couldn't leave the room and for once this doesn't sound like a shady villain speaking who the group will probably deal with in the upcoming seasons, a new threat?

The PTSD is still affecting Siddiq in big ways, is he hiding something? Him and new doc Dante are trying to help the residents overcome a rapidly spreading bug and nobody knows what the cause could be, is this the water we saw Gamma infecting last episode and if so why hasn't Aaron mentioned anything yet?

Now the two stories that matter, Daryl and Carols mission and Negan meeting the Whisperers.

Carol sets off on a mission to find Negan, Daryl joins her in which it's revealed she's not looking for Negan but Alphas herd in hopes of destroying it. They both go ahead with this suicidal plan, Daryl is forced to do the guts trick whilst Carol captures a whisperer taking it hostage.

Negan being Negan doesn't shut up so he's gunna struggle adapting to the whisperers way of life, he irritates Beta who wants to kill him the whole episode but can't due to following Alphas orders. He is put to the test, skins some walkers and kills a pig before cooking it but can't have a piece of bacon and is instead thrown to the ground like a rag doll by Beta. Beta then kills the whisperer that is nice to Negan and leaves him for dead in which he returns to the camp where he kneels in front of Alpha telling her he'll do what it takes to become a whisperer.
