Why didn't Negan kill Alpha sooner?
Why did Negan tie up Lydia?
Why did Carol act so recklessly if she already had set Negan out to kill Alpha?
Why did Alden kill walker Mary instead of Beta?
Is there a more badass duo than Carol and Negan?
Tidbits: Earl took the kids to that hangout spot where Henry got drunk with those teenagers in Season 9, as indicated by the shattered window.
Carol had a cool comic nod moment with that ground walker that kept touching her. That scene was also very funny.
Carol and Eugene never had a one on one scene together. Was very nice to see.
Carol and Negan also never shared a scene together up until now, and it's one of the most iconic moments in the show's history. New power couple? Yes please.
Why didn't Negan kill Alpha sooner?
- To gain her trust. Killing Alpha would have started the war by Beta. Negan's goal was to prevent it to the best of his ability. That meant getting on the good side of Alpha so she'd listen to his advice. Negan asks Alpha in 10x11 to spare the lives of the communities and make them "bend the knee"; she doesn't listen and decides to kill everyone to add to her horde. Negan failed, and since the war has already started, he had no other choice but to kill her then and there.
Why did Negan tie up Lydia?
- For her own protection. She was limping through the woods, and Negan happen to see her. Of course, Lydia isn't going to trust Negan when he is with the Whisperers, so he knocks her out and ties her up in a secluded cabin. That way, no Whisperers would find Lydia while she's limping and can't defend herself, and be brought to Alpha.
Why did Carol act so recklessly if she already had set Negan out to kill Alpha?
- There was no guarantee Negan would follow through with the plan. Setting Negan out was another reckless plan of Carol's if anything. This time it happened to work out. So when Carol sees Alpha roaming around after she set Negan free, of course she's going to take the chance and kill Alpha herself. Like Carol said, "Took you long enough." Negan wasn't the plan, he was a plan.
Why did Alden kill walker Mary instead of Beta?
- Plot. Seriously writers, I don't want Beta to die yet, especially by Alden, but stop putting him in situations where he should have died. My only gripe of the episode.
Is there a more badass duo than Carol and Negan?
- No.
