The seventh episode is again a typical excessive episode. Although it lacks enough bright points, each story line has made a lot of progress, and it is ready for the last episode before the winter break next week.
Nowadays, the situation of "separate government" within the alliance is more serious than expected... However, the performance of the protagonists in this episode still makes people feel the tenacity of the "bond" between the families.
Tenderness
Carol really brought Henry to Darryl.
Although the residence of "Brother Crossbow" is not like an iron wall, it cannot be approached casually: there are traps all around, and a dog is also raised as a mobile police post.
Carol asked Darryl, "Has the boat been repaired yet?" It explained at least two things: one is that Darryl has been looking for Rick's body all these years, and further and further down the river, and the other is that Carol has been searching for Rick's body for years. She would often come to visit him, and she couldn't bear to have her friends "toss" herself in the wild forever.
The long-term life of "one person, one crossbow and one dog" has made Daryl more and more difficult to communicate with others. Carol hopes that he can go to the mountaintop to take care of the innocent Henry, but he naturally refuses - people should learn their own lessons, everyone is Came here.
This arrogance and indifference is exactly what Carol is worried about: she entrusts Daryl to be Henry's "nanny", not only because she wants someone she can trust to protect her son, but also in order to take the opportunity to end Daryl's "nanny". A life of misery without purpose.
Whether Darryl agrees or not, Carol will give him some caring help as much as possible, such as a haircut. In this gentle and peaceful atmosphere, Daryl finally opened up a little bit of heart: Rick's body was not found, and it was always his heart disease.
In a word of conscience, Darryl has done enough for his good brother, no one will make irresponsible remarks, but he can't let it go ... Carol can only say, "You should have said many times. let go."
During this half-day contact, Darryl, a master of "Survival in the Wilderness", never gave Henry a good face, and he was unwilling to answer when he invited others to eat snake soup. This "invisible" attitude actually inspired Henry to Darryl. interest, and ended up saving his life when he followed Darryl to rescue his dog.
To be precise , Henry and Darryl saved each other's lives under the secret protection of Carol.
Taking the opportunity to treat Henry's bruises, the relationship between the two men, one big and one small, quickly became closer : Henry further appreciated Daryl's strength after seeing his skills and the scars on his body; Daryl also passed After this experience, I realized that Henry was no longer a boy who completely needed protection, and he was worthy of his own face.
One time to thank each other, all the estrangements vanished... Sometimes men are so strange, a few words can be worth a thousand words.
Afterwards, Henry talked about the real purpose of his mother bringing himself to Daryl: you are her best friend, she misses you and worries about you... Your decision is not only for me, but also for her.
Henry grew up very quickly. It didn't take much time from his previous resistance to "mother looking for a nanny for himself" to understanding "mother wants to help friends"... And Henry's maturity has also earned Darryl more recognition and experience. To Carol's good intentions , so he decided to leave with the two early the next morning.
This is a victory for men's "tenderness" - of course, don't think women will not know.
snow melting
On the way to escort/escort the five-member group, Michelle, who still doesn't quite believe in the "newcomer", always put on a stinky face. This "insincere" attitude attracted Siddiq's teasing: pretend, if you really Those who don't like them, don't accept them, and won't send them to the Peak Village anymore.
Meanwhile, Magna still broods over the confiscated Sabre, in stark contrast to Luke's boundless optimism , who has grown more irritable since they lost Bernie.
Although Michelle's attitude has loosened, the rules are the rules, and I still have to verify the credibility of the five-member group -before going to the top of the mountain, they first returned to the camp where Magna and others no longer existed. It also proves that they are not lying.
However, Michelle still didn't mean to return the weapon, "Before you officially become a member of the alliance, you have no corresponding rights." Under the comfort of Yumiko and Connie, the five-member group had to accept "unjust treatment" again.
In the middle of the night, Michelle, who was on guard, cut off Luke's violin, which made everyone really know this "wonderful flower" rarely seen in the apocalypse: in an environment where his life could not be guaranteed, he left with a bunch of musical instruments. For so long, because this is art, it is the only difference between humans and animals.
Luke expounded the importance of music, painting and other arts with his theory of "humans defeated Neanderthals", which are the indispensable cornerstones of "rebuilding civilization" - Luke's grotesque, which prompted Michele to once again Changed the outlook for the five.
When everyone left, they encountered a "sudden" group of corpses. Although Michelle didn't order the weapons to be returned to the group of five, she didn't explicitly stop DJ from doing so ...
After taking back the weapons, the five-member group showed good combat effectiveness. Except for Luke running around to protect the instrument (probably because he is the chosen one), the other four have two slingshots and one slingshot. A bow and arrow and a flying knife are all warriors that can output remotely (melee is the basic skill of survivors).
Unexpectedly, the biggest "obstruction" will come from a walking corpse with many flaws - it was the companion of the five-member group before his death, and it was also Bernie who just had a spark with Magna.
Magna, who has been killing decisively, was immediately stunned. If Michelle hadn't shot at the right time, she might have been bitten directly...
Through fighting side by side this time, the relationship between Michelle and the five-member group has been really brought closer. The most decisive sign is Magna's reaction after seeing Bernie, which is enough to make Michele empathize.
We are all the same kind of people, who have experienced hardships and losses, and will surely become strong and brave.
Being at home is not easy
The foundation of the original mountain village was the best in the league, and now the community is thriving.
This episode shows the audience the development of Shanshan Village in an all-round way, including planting, medical care, breeding, iron smelting, pottery, recruit training, etc. It can definitely be called a model of community building.
Now the leader of the Peak Village is Jesus, Tara has become his effective deputy, and the former leader Maggie has taken her child Herschel and followed Georgie to the outside world to build a more "large" community, but she is still with the Peak Village. There is a connection (leaving in a similar way to Rick, it can be considered a memory), it can be seen that Georgie's side really has no ill will towards the alliance .
Tara came to report to Jesus and let him handle various government affairs , such as the residents wanting to continue to expand the scale of planting, need more space to grow herbs, want to go out to find more scrap metal, and even make too much noise to children. Complaints... Only a thriving, peaceful human community would have such performance and needs.
Contrary to the prosperity of the mountaintop village, the leader Jesus looked gloomy - he did not look like a leader after being "re-elected" again. Maggie had been gone for so long, and he still did not want to move to his predecessor's office.
This has nothing to do with "being used to it or not", he did it just because of the fantasy of "if Maggie comes back I will step down immediately"... Personally, Jesus prefers to be a loner ranger who makes it worthwhile The feeling of being a trusted leader as a leader made him uncomfortable.
This episode fulfills many of the "prophecies" of previous episodes, such as Maggie slowly handing over leadership to Jesus, and Jesus beginning to teach Aaron's martial arts.
This kind of training has been going on for several years, and Aaron's skills are in good shape.
These two people came out to meet in private behind the backs of "family". In addition to practicing the exercises, more importantly, they hoped to rebuild the smooth communication between the various communities - Michelle did not want Alexander to participate in the market initiated by Shanshanzhai. Activities, obviously, the relationship within the alliance is far less close than when the same enemy was in the same hatred.
This begs the question: Why, after Rick's "sacrifice", the alliance that was supposed to be united has become even more divided? Especially between Michele (Alexander) and Maggie (Peak Hill), something else obviously happened.
The problem was exacerbated after Jesus and Aaron rescued Rosita back to the mountaintop. Everyone will find that "what Rosita looks like" and "what happened to Rosita" are "unfamiliar" to Tara and others.
It is true that there has been no communication between the two communities for a long time. At this moment, Jesus also expressed his thoughts to Tara: I hope that Alexander can come to the market and make the alliance as united as before.
Tara is not optimistic about Jesus' desire (the two sides have deep prejudices) , and she is even more dissatisfied that Jesus is being made by all kinds of "unrealistic" ideas all day long and disappears all day. , Maggie and Alexander, "far away" from here, are not worthy of Jesus' distraction.
Many people are not born leaders, but they have the potential to be leaders. Jesus' trouble is that he can't be "mindless."
pre-war preparations
In the comments of the last drama review, I found that many people who have not read the comics and have not been passed by the comic party drama (I don't read the comics but have been passed by the drama) are "scared" by the new Whisperer. Yes, it can be seen that the setting of this group is indeed quite successful~
Rosita's escape at the beginning of the episode continues this "thriller" feeling .
As a digression, the ninth season of "The Walking Dead" has significantly increased the proportion of various "action scenes" , such as the Whisperer tracking Rosita, Darryl saving the dog, and escorting the team against the corpse . They will contribute one or two "relatively novel" ideas, which more or less make people find the feeling of watching the previous seasons of "The Walking Dead". This kind of positive change is visible to the naked eye and is worthy of recognition.
Although there is no frontal shot of the Whisperer in this episode, there are quite a few side depictions. In addition to Rosita being surrounded by "Whispers", Daryl's doubts are also evidence.
The traps he left near his residence were prepared for walking corpses. After so many years of "End Times", the number of walking corpses should have gradually decreased and remained within a normal range... But recently, the number of walking corpses around has increased. There are more and more, and even the driven rabbits and dogs are caught in the trap, which is very abnormal-it seems that the Whisperer's "corpse driving" is very good.
Also, before entering the mountaintop, Connie seemed to see something, but she wasn't quite sure, and it was over.
Just as blind people tend to have better hearing, deaf people often have better eyesight (wrong?)... Subsequent footage proved that Connie had indeed noticed something strange, someone was peeping in the dark , and this sneaky look was obvious Not from Eugene.
There are various indications that the Whisperers are already approaching the key areas of the alliance, and the "big family and business" mountaintop village will be the first large-scale community to be located.
If the alliance remains as it is, they will suffer greatly in the next catastrophe - the kingdom of God is just barely making ends meet, the situation of the seaside hotel is unknown, the status of Alexander and the mountain village is very important, but Michelle and Maggie Her relationship has deteriorated to the point where the former "will never set foot on the top of the mountain again", and she naturally won't know that Maggie has already left.
It is gratifying that the connection between the two communities has not been severed , and Siddiq knows the news of Maggie's departure (probably informed by his apprentice Enid), and in the best case, it may be just a personal grudge between a few leaders. It has led to the indifference of the communities on both sides...
Maggie had already left, and the injured Rosita was being treated in the front, which made the swaying Michelle finally decide to step into the top of the mountain again.
At this time, Carol, who escorted his son (abducted "Cross Brother"), Henry who came to learn to strike iron (secretly in love with Enid), and Darryl who was "nanny" (put his mind down) had arrived at the top of the mountain.
It's better to hit the sun instead, Jesus, Aaron, Daryl and other good players immediately set off to find Eugene.
When the "storm" is approaching, the former comrades in arms still stand together again due to various reasons. Unseen crisis.
