![]() Previous seasons have experimented with structure by splitting up the group and following one or two characters’ narrative threads per week, which, when executed well, can provide some of the most satisfying episodes of the show (like last season’s Daryl and Carol Power Hour, “ Consumed“).īut coming on the heels of a manufactured cliffhanger like Glenn’s apparent death, that ponderous approach seems less like organic storytelling and more like purposefully baiting the audience. This week’s episode wasn’t too concerned with giving us any tidy answers - a choice that has become a hallmark of season six so far, and perhaps its greatest shortcoming. ![]() The man calling the shots in the small search party we saw this week, Wade, also seemed a little more open to conversation than the Wolves we’ve encountered so far, and was overheard telling a comrade, “He only wanted to take this so far - he only wants ass that’s willing.” That’s a position that stands in direct opposition to what a number of Wolves have said in their encounters with our group this season - that they don’t have a choice in what they’re doing. Whoever they are, it doesn’t seem as though the group is affiliated with the Wolves, given their use of guns and cars (and their general cleanliness and lack of W markings). Mysteries abound in the latest installment of “The Walking Dead.” Did we just hear Glenn’s voice calling for help over Daryl’s walkie talkie ( EDIT: Norman Reedus says no), or does that panicked plea belong to another lost soul trapped somewhere outside Alexandria? We know that Glenn was in possession of one of the group’s walkies before the zombie horde descended on him, but this week’s episode also saw the introduction of another group of survivors carrying radios, in addition to three people who seemed to be trying to get as far away from them as possible.Īnother lingering question: Did the show just introduce the Saviors? That name is well known to fans of the “Walking Dead” comics, and their arrival would make sense, given the recent casting of Jeffrey Dean Morgan as a pivotal comic book character, but the episode went to great lengths to obscure the identities of the mystery men. Spoiler warning: Do not read on unless you’ve seen episode 606 of “ The Walking Dead,” titled “Always Accountable.”
