The Walking Dead: Not Tomorrow Yet
The gang is back to doing what they do best in Not Tomorrow Yet—battling it out with another rival group for their survival. This was different than previous fights because in the past they had always been attacked and had to fight back. For the first time, they were the ones provoking the conflict—if you exclude the previous dustup between Darryl and company against the Saviors. Having said that, I think this confrontation is fully justified when considering the Savior’s track record and the fact that they would eventually have to fight them. At least this way, they could do it on their own terms.
Carol
I liked how at the beginning of the episode Carol was settling into her role of suburban mother (even though her child is dead) by baking acorn and beet cookies for the community. She even has the beginnings of a romance happening. Of course, all of that changes when she hears that they are going to fight against Negan’s people. Then Carol goes into full battle mode again without hesitation.
Morgan
Morgan once again shows why he has become my least favorite character on the show. What a useless pacifist. I thought it was funny when Rick asked if anyone objected, all heads turned to Morgan. Of course, he objected. Let’s talk it out. Well, Morgan, with some folks there just isn’t any talking. In the case of a group which is taking half from another community so that they won’t kill them, and wants the head of the leader of the community because they were shorted, well there isn’t negotiation. Just go away, Morgan.
Glenn, Heath, and Father Gabriel
Here are three characters that, prior to this episode, had never actually killed anyone. In Glenn, especially, I found that remarkable and admirable considering all of the tight situations he has been in. Unlike Morgan, when the time came, he was prepared to do what needed to be done. I’m not saying that killing someone is an easy thing, but sometimes in war, it’s necessary. They overcame their fears and fought with their group because it was necessary.
The Assault on Negan’s Compound
This was way too easy, and nothing ever comes easy to The Walking Dead crew. Granted, the plan was great and the action that followed was completely logical. Having said that, I still kept expecting more of a fight from the Saviors. The fight isn’t over as indicated by Carol and Maggie having been taken hostage, but they wiped out so many of the Saviors. How many more people can they have—at least at this location? My guess is that this is far from over and that there are more Saviors elsewhere. I’m guessing that the battle is just beginning. I know in the graphic novels, Negan and his gang are a big deal, and I expect that to be the case here as well. There will be casualties.
