"The Walking Dead" - "No Way Out" - Shae's Reaction

THIS IS THE EMERGENCY SPOILER ALERT SYSTEM...YOU ARE ADVISED TO READ AT YOUR OWN RISK...

Guys, whatever sickness is going around, I caught it. It starts as a cold, and then just gets worse from there. Thankfully on day four of this evil thing, I’m finally well enough to get back to work on both fronts. I know it’s been a quiet few days on my end, so I’m sorry for that. I promise my Supernatural recap is coming tomorrow, which is way later than normal, but listen….this cold thing….it’s the devil.
 
Anyways, let’s talk about The Walking Dead. Yes, you got John’s epic blog of epic, but I’m here with my reactions, because, well, I can’t not talk about it. So, I started Walking Dead at my parents house and then later finished it at home. Downside to being called in early and then sick as a dog. But, I have to say this mid-season start was everything I wanted it to be and more, except for one thing, Glenn. Stop trying to kill my Glenn! Enough is enough! I get it, nobody is safe, but the constant death threats of my poor Glenn are really starting to get under my skin! Seriously! What is going on with that!? I don’t threaten to kill off your favorite characters! I don’t even know who I am yelling at. Knowing Glenn was saved by Abraham really did make everything better. And also, Maggie is saved! Yay Maggie!
 
Daryl will forever be a bad ass, seriously, he killed so many people and walkers with that RPG, he deserves a medal. Or cookies….in the very least some cookies. Daryl saving the day twice just goes to show he’s a fan favorite for a reason. Our badass took a knife to the back and still got rid of an entire motorcycle gang. How awesome is that? Still, at the end of the day, though, the threat of Negan is ever present. I will forever think of him as John Winchester, but my mom pointed out he was also Denny on Grey’s Anatomy. Yes, I’ve watched Grey’s Anatomy…..I stopped after they killed off my favorite character, who was not Denny, coincidentally.

Sam dying was, I suppose shocking, but who didn’t see that coming? I feel we all knew it was going to happen, we all just expected it sooner. Still, while the actor is adorable, Sam was dumb and he had to go. Jessie and Ron biting it in the process was just an added bonus. I’m sorry, that was so heartless, but seriously. Jessie was the enabler of that little brat, and Ron shot Carl, so he had to go. I’m still shocked at Carl losing his eye like that…for the love of everything that scared the crap out of me. I knew he wouldn’t die, but still….
 
Leaving Judith with Father Gabriel was risky. I would not do that. The guy has proven to be as shady as a shadow. He did step it up though, which was a long time coming. I have to say, the most shocking, aside from Carl Poppa being shot, was the Wolf. Say what you will, but even after being shot by Carol he tackled a Walker and saved her life. If that doesn’t redeem you, well, nothing can really redeem him. In the end, Morgan grew up and finally put him down. Which, come on Morgan, I get that life is important, but you have to know when to just kill the bad guys. Which happen to be people trying to kill you and your friends. Maybe Morgan finally got through to the Wolf, or maybe he had a thing for Denise… I don’t know.
 
And then, of course, the massive fight scene at the end where Rick and everyone take on those Walkers, that was pretty intense. Not to mention, needed to happen. So far, nobody else we love died, it was mostly just people standing their ground and murdering these evil monsters. Sam still has me angry though. Like, seriously kid? There’s a bunch of monsters and you’re just going to stand there and whine until they come eat you? You had it coming.
