Rick's Last Episode on The Walking Dead: 9x4 & 9x5 REACTION

[@stephwest1382]

FYI, Hershel aka Scott Wilson died irl before it aired. The cast was told while on stage at Comic Con. So RIP Scott. I am lucky to have met you. What an honor

[@stephwest1382]

The song playing during the helicopter was the same song that played with Rick in the tank and Glenn hollared on the radio

[@AlejoConejo-vb8ln]

That Shane scene is SOOOO meaningful. I'm glad AJ caught it right away. Shane lives inside of Rick and represents his strenght. Its why he became the murderer he needed to be to survive.

[@JosephSCB123]

Scott Wilson (Herschel) passed away a few weeks before this episode aired.. None of us knew he was going to be in the episode either so it was really emotional seeing him again for the last time. (amazing episode btw, one of my favourites)

[@makekotor3722]

It was great to have Shane and Hershel back. RIP Scott Wilson who died around this time.

[@dk_the_great9052]

Rick is off the show he wants to spend time with his family when this aired

[@LudusAurea]

The time jump was 6 years. There are more coming too.

[@AlejoConejo-vb8ln]

29:43 I read somewhere that the original plan was to have Glenn in this scene instead of Sasha but Steven Yeun couldn't film cuz of scheduling or something

[@mark.trujillo]

i just graduated hs today and this banger of an episode dropped i am so excited when i started watching you guys i was at the start of senior year now i am done with school thank you guys for the great reactions and conversations about the show 🎉❤

[@Kia.Monrow]

Wow congrats 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@SGoriginal2003]

I never understand when u guys argue that michonne and Rick didn’t interact romantically, because since the ep they met, the chemistry was so strong that the writers changed the initial plan for Rick BECAUSE it was so evident that he liked michonne. Almost every interaction is flirtatious . Even while he had his Jessie fling

[@sunnygrl027]

Daryl isn't being Maggie's bitch. Did you forget, AJ, that Daryl has as much reason to hate Negan as Maggie does. He was kept in a closet, fed dog food, beaten, and paraded in front of Alexandria like a servant and humiliated. Daryl wanted Negan dead the same as Maggie did. Rick decided to keep Negan alive for his own reasons, for Carl's memory, so he'd have something to focus on and not lose his mind after Carl died. He didn't give a thought to how anybody else would feel about it. Daryl's not being slimy going behind Rick's back either. He's tried to talk to Rick and tell him what's going on several times since episode 1 but Rick's been too focused on doing it his way to listen. Rick's trying to create some sort of utopia with everybody working together and holding hands around the fire, he's trying to play out the peace that Carl wanted. Well, it's not working. The saviors don't want to work with the other communities and vice versa. Carl's not here to have to deal with the fallout of that, everyone else is. I love Rick and most of the time he's a strong leader, but he's wrong about this.

[@angelcris10]

Well, he might not be Maggie's bitch, but if it wasn't for Darryl, Rick being taken would have never happen. He went behind his "brother's" back.He felt so bad about it, he kept looking for his body. Shoot, Glenn wouldn't of died if it wasn't for Darryl.

[@hippielady123]

​@@angelcris10nope Glen died because Negan made that choice! Not Daryl's fault. Daryl tried talking to Rick over and over, if Rick would have listened, they could have worked it out

[@sunnygrl027]

@@angelcris10 Rick could've easily went back with Daryl after they climbed out of that pit. HE decided to redirect the herd. Rick didn't want to listen to what anyone had to say because he was dead set on doing all of that in Carl's memory. He was dead set on not sacrificing the bridge, which he ended up doing anyway. It's easy to blame Daryl or Maggie or anyone else, but Rick's decisions played a huge part in what happened to him. Maybe if Rick hadn't given Jadis/Anne chance after chance she wouldn't have been able to take him in the first place. If she'd left him where he was maybe Daryl or somebody else would've found him. Rick made his choices just like everybody else did.

[@MFBloosh]

@@hippielady123 If Daryl didn't punch Negan, Negan wouldn't have lucille'd Glenn. That's a fact. Would Glenn have survived the war that followed? Maybe, maybe not. But, Glenn definitely would've made it out of the lineup if Daryl didn't do what he did.

[@hippielady123]

@@MFBloosh if Negan wasn't a cold blooded killer and slaver, then Daryl wouldn't have punched him. All you Negan fans don't get that point. I love Jeffrey and he's a great actor, but Negan I hate

[@NathanThurberMusic]

Been waiting on this one for a while. When this originally aired it shocked everyone. It's all we talked about Monday at work.

[@SunJade-vr6nj]

Daryl, Maggie, Rick, and Michonne should have all had a long talk after Rick’s decision with Negan. But I don’t think it’s fair to say that what happened to Rick was their fault. Rick went after what he wanted, they went after what they wanted, and in the end Rick prioritized the bridge and what it stood for over going back to safety with Daryl. You could say it never would have happened if Maggie and daryl would have talked to him, but we saw multiple people try and talk to Rick with him brushing it off because he was so set on his dream. The main culprit was miscommunication and a group with opposing desires, not any one or two people.

[@ShamefulToaster]

9x5 is one of the best episode of the walking dead, absolutely incredible. Rick was going beast mode on 1 hp the entire time. The horse was out for Rick. Daryl coming in last second to cover Rick was peak.

[@gaynells.5712]

You guys are great! So glad you all finally got to the last episode of Rick Grimes , Andrew Lincoln on the Walking Dead. Yes he left to go back home to see his family in England, he was missing the growth of his children in those 9 years here in the US shooting this show. Beautifully done, and get ready for a whole lot of excitement to come! Love your sometimes hilarious reactions!😂

[@BigGroovyFunker66]

it has been a genuine pleasure watching you three bickering and getting to this point. just as it will be for what's to come

[@makekotor3722]

Seeing Negan broken like that was the perfect justice. Remember when he pretended to have Rick cut off Carls's arm and told Rick if he doesn't then everyone dies but that Rick would be kept alive for a few years to think about everything that happened. The irony. Lol.

[@lisainthecold4287]

Too bad Rick didn't take his hands! Lol kidding. Love Negan and I hate they left Lucille out there! That was dumb writing imo. I get that chapter was over so leave it be but they should've been interested in getting rid of it after all they went through under Negan.

[@makekotor3722]

@@lisainthecold4287 Taking Negans hands would have been ironic. Lol. Yeah I agree that it was dumb to leave Lucille out there. Burning it in front of Negan watching in his cell would have made him go even more mad.

[@lisainthecold4287]

Sadly, Glens actor didn't want to come back for this episode. Would've been cool to see Bob cause he wanted to get to Washington and told Rick that the world wasn't over

[@curtquinlan9870]

That was Andrew Lincoln's last episode on the show. It was known before the show aired and the time jump at the end solidified it. Rick only comes back in a spin-off series.

[@WHITEYY18LOVER]

Scott Wilson (Hershel) had passed away when 9x05 aired, so I absolutely bawled when he said "hey Rick" 🥺😭

[@dravenquinn264]

Fun Fact: The Hospital scene was Rick’s last scene filming behind the camera Norman Reedus the actor playing Daryl was tickling Andrew Lincoln’s feet the actor playing Rick He did it as a little Prank LOL

[@rema51095]

Rick shouldn't have made the decision about nagan fate alone , he wasn't the only one who was hurt by his actions...

[@WHITEYY18LOVER]

The entire fandom has beef with that horse back then 😂 They're were numerous memes made 😅

[@dravenquinn264]

That scene where Rick helps Daryl out of the pit is a callback to Season 2 on the Chupacabra episode when Daryl was looking for Sophia and fell down the hill and he saw Merle at the top saying grab your friend Rick’s hand.

[@melissagilby3959]

9x5 is my second fav episode of the whole series! So heartbreaking 😩But then Judith!! 🤯❤️

[@ramoncarter3121]

[@stephwest1382]

Aww the memories. Episode 5 is still one of my favorite episodes ever

[@dravenquinn264]

Rick Grimes will always forever be The Walking Dead

[@stephwest1382]

My 3 favorite banters are back. Let's go

[@bombaclat9758]

Incase ya'll forgot, which grey hoodie guy did, glenn saved the group and rick by extent more than once but one inarguable time he saved rick's life directly is episode one. In the tank. Rick would have either been eaten eventually, starve to death or blow his brains out(which he was about to do in that same scene) Edit: my opinion is that Rick's arrogance lead to this. It was a 'wise' decision to let Negan live but ,Him and Lorie were all but divorced at the point of her death and look at the tear he went on when she died. He should have expected Maggie to want Negan dead (not to mention everyone else). His arrogance lead him to believe that his word was final and that what he says goes. I haven't liked Maggie's character for a while and I certainly don't like what happens with her and negan in the future and her inability to move on. But Rick should have definitely seen this coming.

[@hippielady123]

Team Maggie

[@christal1978marie]

6 year time jump.....

[@sebaslikesanimations1447]

I love these videos, glad yall made it this far!

[@KayKay-l2t]

Good reaction guys. Rick Grimes/Andrew Lincoln has officially bowed out - one of my favourite and saddest episodes. Myself and the fandom were sobbing at Rick's last episode.😭💔 ********** The final scenes see newcomers Magna (Nadia Hilker), Yumiko (Eleanor Matsuura), Luke (Dan Fogler), Connie (Lauren Ridloff) and Kelly (Angel Theory) battling a group of Walkers. The characters - who all come from the comics - are eventually saved by a now grown Judith Grimes. Showrunner Angela Kang confirmed the length of the time between the previous scenes and the newest one. “We’re calling this a six-year time jump,” she told Entertainment Weekly. ”So Judith [Grimes] is about 4, 4-and-a-half years old when we start the season, and then we jump to a 10-year-old Judith, just like we started with a 10-year old Carl.”

[@surkit6465]

I agree with Ilias, the Governor is one of the best antagonists ever.

[@CorsonDrax]

I disagree with Sasha "not making sense", she arguably makes the most sense of the three. She sacrificed herself in 7x16 to save everyone, just like how Rick "did" in this episode. It's the perfect parallel.

[@praxiann7615]

She was a distraction at best

​@@praxiann7615fax j remember when the episode first dropped n literally nobody cared about Sasha

[@jessicajones2604]

That ending was one of the best! Judith, Judith Grimes!

[@hippielady123]

Hi Elias just sitting I'm the middle smiling lol. Rick not killing Negan is what started everything between Maggie, Rick and Daryl. Glen did save Rick's life by getting him out of the tank in Atlanta, if not for Glen, Rick would have never seen his family. Now Rick could have just killed Negan and left everyone else alive to honor Carl, then he wouldn't have betrayed Maggie and Daryl. This makes the point that every decision you make has consequences! I love Rick but Negan should have died. AJ u said Oceanside was just getting revenge, but so is Maggie lol.

[@dravenquinn264]

This is the send off a character like Rick Grimes deserves I wouldn’t change anything about it The whole episode was amazing.

Almost caught up started From season 1 episode 1 watching all y’all reactions .. been like 6 days

[@lindapowers8592]

The time jump is big but 9:6 fills in so many blanks of what has been happening and how things have changed.

[@tiffanidonaldson2714]

I love that scene with Rick and Daryl in the pit.

[@thales8153]

I think I can say this and you probably already know but Rick is coming back later, when you finish TWD there's another show with him

[@ritasworld6345]

Did they end with season 11??

[@thales8153]

​@@ritasworld6345they are on season 10

[@dravenquinn264]

Rick Grimes is the ultimate survivor and went out fighting the way I always envisioned Even down to his last moments It’s sad to see him go but it was at least something worthy of his character.

[@dontlisten2them]

I was reacting the same way AJ was the first time I saw this. Daryl was pissing me tfff off!!

[@MFBloosh]

I'm sure you know by now, but the 8x16-9x1 time jump was supposed to be a year and a half. And the time jump at the end of episode 5 is supposed to be a 6 year jump. But yeah, Andrew Lincoln wanted a break from the show since his family was in England and he wanted to spend more time with them, understandably. But the choice to keep him alive instead of offing him ended up being a great decision, because the spin offs (besides World Beyond) have all be great in my opinion.

[@hippielady123]

But World Beyond explains the helicopter people

[@MFBloosh]

@@hippielady123 It does, and I watched all of it, but it was still the worst show out of all TWD universe shows, and thankfully Ones Who Live does a great job at summarizing The World Beyond so people don't have to watch it in order to watch Ones Who Live.

[@WHITEYY18LOVER]

I AGREE with AJ. They're supposed to be family, so Daryl & Maggie going behind Rick's back & plotting was slimy behavior

[@SpaceSkelet0nn]

i'd love if you guys watched the punisher, hes played by jon bernthal (shane) and is amazing in it. if you guys do i recommend watching daredevil before because there is some crossover, also daredevil is an amazing show aswell

[@championlotus]

Maggie wants to kill Negan because of Glenn. Daryl wants to kill Negan because he feels responsible for Glenns death and Negan tortured him. They have understandable reasons to want Negan dead but they cant look beyond their own revenge. Daryl talks about all the people that died but he started acting bloodthirsty after his torture; this is about himself. Everyone was cool with following Rick and letting him make the calls until it ended without them getting their revenge, then suddenly Ricks the bad guy and its all his fault, but a season ago they didnt question him. Keeping Negan alive shows the rest that even someone like Negan at the height of his power could be defeated. He sits there to remind everyone that Justice and Goodness prevailed over Fear and Cruelty. Again, Maggie, Daryl and Oceanside have good reasons to feel how they do. But they think only of themselves rather then the communities as a whole. Lastly never forget, in show canon this wouldnt have happened if it werent for Maggie and Daryl. Obv the real life reason is cuz Andrew Lincoln left the show.

[@lindapowers8592]

I totally agree Maggie and Daryl put all this in motion and Maggie hanging Gregory was the start of the downfall of everything that could have worked for the better in a civilized society in the apocalypse, period! Maggie’s personal rage and egotistical revenge is the opposite of Rick’s mercy and wisdom to not execute Negan and make him a martyr.

[@hippielady123]

I was the first person on this platform and on twitter to figure out that Rick wouldnt die, but instead be taken by Jadis

[@dogwater7897]

Aavesham 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

[@dravenquinn264]

I’d die for you and I would’ve died for Carl But you gotta hear me. This line will always hit me so hard Daryl loves Rick so much which is why it’s hurting him so bad that they’re pretty much on different sides regarding this.

[@makekotor3722]

Although this is minor compared to everything else that happened in the episode, some of the walkers from the camp shootout was a kingdom resident and Kathy from Oceanside. It's strange as the only savior who had a gun was Jed. He should have been shot or disarmed immediately and the only casualties would have been the saviors trying to charge forward. Although she was a minor character, I hate that Kathy died especially from a savior as Oceanside already lost enough people to them before all out war started.

[@Rknowles813]

The rest of this season is EPIC

[@dk_the_great9052]

New arc good asl

[@TXTerrz]

Rick doesn't show up again on the show til like the end of season 11, and he has a new spinoff The ones who live that came out this year in Feb

[@danielsernajr4079]

May he R.I.P

[@dravenquinn264]

I personally feel that scene between Rick and Daryl needed to happen because they have both been at odds with one another since Season 8 they both have different opinions with how things are and even though I agree with Rick and Michonne I see where Daryl and Maggie are coming from they are never going to forgive Negan for what he did and they want justice for Glenn and Abraham and Daryl made a pretty good point if Glenn didn’t do the right thing and save Rick from that tank then that reunion he had with Lori and Carl wouldn’t have happened.

[@christal1978marie]

Guy's when you are finished watching TWD you have to watch The Ones Who Live......... PLEASE.. PLEASE.. Guys....... Then after that watch the other 2 spinoffs...... 1~TOWL 2~Daryl Dixon 3~Dead City..... Unless You Give Us Fans/Subs A HUGE TREAT & Watch Them All Every Couple Days of Each Spinoffs... Allah Bless You Guys, Much L❤ve From Bangladesh 🇧🇩

[@hippielady123]

It wasnt Glen because the actor refused to come back. So they had Sasha

[@dravenquinn264]

Rick Grimes and Daryl Dixon are Brothers for life👌

[@shilohsyniski]

[@JHolland]

Agreed Sasha shouldn’t have been in it

[@umbrellablack5503]

Did prophet just make a gears of war 1 reference? Hahaha nice! 🤘🏻

[@emmahmia3621]

rick couldn’t have talked to them before he spared negan because he went into that fight with negan with the intention of killing him hence why he slit his throat. it was until negan said “carl didn’t know a damn thing” that rick realised he betrayed his son’s dying wish that’s why he was spared and that’s why everyone was shocked including michonne when rick said “save him”

[@eugene8021]

I agree the Sasha thing made no sense. I guess she was the only one free that day? LOL

[@greysonbryant2567]

If he would’ve seen Glenn, Lori, or Carl he most likely would’ve stayed aka died, bc he was looking for his family. They probs just couldn’t book Glenn so that’s the real reason but that’s my writing reason

[@LudusAurea]

RIP wrote out both main characters within 1 season

[@Tyler.Talks.Sports]

No one released he said I remember this he watched the show ahead of the boys

[@bassamelcheikh]

This is the first time where I agree with AJ and disagree with Profit, it wasn't Ricks fault because he is the leader they always expect him to make the difficult decisions but once they don't agree with that decision they turn there back on him, well if Daryl wants to make his own decision he can always leave.

[@jesses5463]

Rick is not Maggie's leader. Rick and Maggie are leaders of two different communities. They are at best equals.

[@dravenquinn264]

That scene between Rick and Daryl in the sinkhole is one of the best scenes I’ve seen in this show The dialogue was just perfect This show just has a way of having you see both sides as you guys have said before Personally I agree with Rick’s ways significantly more but I completely understand Maggie and Daryl’s feelings towards things as well Props to the writer of this episode Geraldine Inoa for writing that incredible scene and the entire rest of the episode too Also props to the showrunner Angela Kang too And yes that ending just happened Speechless just speechless.

Incredible way to ends Ricks story on TWD. One of the best episodes ever imo. Shoutout to Daryl and Maggie for causing this. This whole thing was on them. Glad we saw Shane but I was hyped we saw Hershel again. Scott Wilson died before or shortly after it aired . But his story isn’t over! TOWL was incredible and y’all should react to it when you’re down with TWD.

[@dravenquinn264]

Guess you could say Rick left the show with a bang.

[@Ist1_]

Y’all should watch breaking bad huge recommendation

[@activatewindows8609]

This is the season where I completely lost my interest in TWD. I went back and watched them all before watching The Ones Who Live, but I can definitely say I regret watching it from Season 9 and onwards, I wish I just left it where Rick goes missing, but the group live on, without any of the new groups introduced from S9 onwards, then just watched The One's Who Live from there, as they add no real huge plot twists in story line from here on out.

Rick returns in a spin off with rick and michone
