There's also Maggie truly embracing the leadership of Hilltop (replacing Gregory – more on him shortly) and starting to feel that maybe she has a better handle on the overall big picture than Rick. And the episode feels a lot like a new pilot for this latest shift in direction, laying out the various tensions as the communities figure out who should provide the food and in return for what. As the infrastructure around them starts to decay – bridges are cratered by storms and walker hordes, petrol is starting to run dry – they're turning to horse-powered transportation (except for Darryl, who clings to his own steel horse for dear life) and looking for ways to use old fashioned methods.īut does this mean incoming executive producer Angela Kang and the crew have really made a change? Well, there's no Negan this episode for one, even if we are reminded that he's festering away in a prison cell. Which mostly means looking to the past to build the present. People smile! More than once! The communities of Hilltop, Alexandria, Oceanside (mentioned, not seen) and even the Sanctuary are trying to work together to figure out the next step in human society. The episode is even called A New Beginning We time jump forward 18 months after the end of the All-Out War and, from the first evidence, things are indeed quite different.
Welcome back to what the Walking Dead team have long been promising is a very different show.
Spoilers will lurk like groaning walkers. Be warned! This review will cover aspects of the episode.
