[@americanandpinay]

I may be able to explain the gas if I knew exactly what it was. Certain gasses will only irritate eyes and nostrils through the bloodstream or nervous system instead of by contact. There are blood, nerve, blister, and choking agents. A choking agent is what I would suspect this was, but it had an effect on the walkers didn't it back in the city with Michonne. That was definitely a nerve agent by how she was affected? France was using a type of super mustard gas, which is a blister agent, but it's unrealistic from what I know about walkers. I had to be able to recognize chemical agents by sight and stimulus-response. All other details are not necessary and what I have said is publicly available knowledge. I guess it is the same gas, and 90% chance of the last scene being unrealistic. The first scene they were used in was very realistic as far as videos I have been forced to watch.

It’s possible the original plan was to leave it and make it look like he was caught in the explosion, but I agree 100%. But I think the prosthetic symbolizes his allegiance to the CRM. Which is why he left it and it’s why he doesn’t have it (or a new one) at the end when he sees his kids.

[@osacrpro]

The reason Beale doesn't have guards near him is because he says early on near the wall where he kills walkers that he liked to be left in solitude whenever some big mission is about to happen. However, he said he wanted to share this moment with rick for this time so they basically left rick and beale alone due to this.

It was this, added with the fact that he couldn't risk any random guard hearing anything he said, and the ones he trusted were down in the commons getting ready for the briefing. Also, the point was to get the person completely alone and see how they take to the information and if they'd fall in line, Rick just happened to fail the test.

Rick & Michonne surviving that huge explosion (!) and Rick surviving a hand grenade he was holding (!!) were usual Walking Dead "things that don't ever happen in real life". The finale was predictable but even so the ending was a real tearjerker. It got me. Happy for Rick Grimes getting his family back after everything he's been through. No need for a Season 2.

[@dragonballradiant2744]

Rick, uses the walkers like meat shields. To absorb the impact. We see, Michonne, and rick. Jump under. This blanket type thing. It must be similar to a fire resistant blanket. And I’m assuming that thorn. Was just far enough away from the explosion for it not to affect her.

[@dragonballradiant2744]

It can’t be ignored that they clearly jump under something to resist the explosion. Remember it is a chlorine explosion. Not like a actual bomb.

Thorne only knew something was really up when she found Rick's discarded prostetic. Dumb way to push the plot forward. 3. Didn't even take it back with him. Did he think Aaron would lend him a spare? 😂😂😂

For everyone wondering why it was so easy to take down the CRM: Rick spent 7 years going up in the ranks to make it easier. If Rick was a savior, he would’ve been able to take Negan down in an episode as well. Ranks do make a difference because ranks-access and trust.

[@Stephens-dq5bh]

I don't get why everyone is hating on RJ. The kid had 3 lines a total of 12 words. He is meeting the father he never met, someone who has been built up as this larger than life character in his mind. Of course he's going to act shy, reserved, and awkward. I'm not saying he's some amazing actor, but damn what can you really do with 12 words and 1-2 minutes of screen time. I guess everyone is some great acting critic, and I don't get it apparently.

[@monsterlisa3167]

Thank you. They make fun of his saying" I believe" because they don't get the connection to the phones and even that CRiggs (Carl) sold them. Further,he is not Carl. Post compare him to Carl because they miss him and some hateful people rag on his mix blood. The actor was not "allowed" to act in previous episodes,not like Carl and Judith but he did. He probably was chosen because he favors Rick--curls and behavior wise. Rick was kind of geeky-"5 pizzas and a wedding ring," Not the most cool thing a guy can say but certainly funny and endearing. RJ was spared the drama that Carl and Judith lived through;he was more protected. Look at the last shot of RJ and Rick. See how they are deliberately profiled together so that the similarity can be seen. It's pronounced,even to their smiles which are more with lips than teeth. Their handsomeness is evident as well.RJ faces Rick shyly but "unfearfully." He's not a fearful child.(Michonne said he was "us" when speaking to Rick about him.) What made their meeting so poignant is the RJ wore Rick's hat which was first worn by Carl and then inherited by Judith who past it to him. Rick lost his first child but then ended up with a daughter and another child,his son, who both are Carl's siblings,resulting in a story arc that harks back to Carl and Ricks' relationship and Ricks relationship with his new kids. In effect,continuity occurs.

I agree. I don’t think it was rushed. I feel like it was a good way to show the destructive nature of human weapons and the CRM itself. It had enough firepower to destroy itself all in one fell swoop. Also I liked the callback to Nat and the final explosion gave a nice final send off in Nat’s honor. The speed at which Rick and Michonne took down the CRM also shows how the two of them together really could do anything. I don’t like overdrawn story lines with big armies and unstoppable forces. It kinda ungrounds the walking dead and the groundedness is what makes this show so good. The commonwealth storyline went on too long and it just didn’t feel real anymore, especially with the storm troopers. I don’t think the CRM is done though. They’re still the most dominant force on the planet, and they will be back. FANTASTIC episode and season finale.

[@Imag_ine]

The outbreak started in 2010 in their universe, and since he fought I Vietnam, he had to be born within the 40s-50s . This is about 13 years into the apocalypse, so it's about 2023-2024, so he could be in his 80s, maybe late 70s

[@melissamarable3555]

Not entirely true my father was in Vietnam he just turned 70 last year

[@k7kos]

To people saying Beale couldn’t have been in the military because he was to old. He signed up when he was 18 as said in the film so, it is possible. He could have joined in 1970, furthermore him saying he went to Vietnam twice could also be accurate. This is because the average tour of duty in Vietnam at the time was one year. 1970 was 5 years before the Vietnam war ended. With all this being said this would have made him 58 years old when the outbreak started, below the mandatory retirement age. This would made him around 73 when he died if he was 18 in 1970. Since he wasn’t drafted when he said he signed up, the 1970 draft lottery only drafted people born from 1944-1950. Him being born in 1952 would be below that. Still wished to see more of him though because he was a cool character.

Some grenades just laying around the base un protected, and to top it off, they put all of their explosives right behind the 2,500 officers with no one on security like that was a good idea. Yeah let’s use a silenced weapon to shoot at the two who are obviously doing something and not alert anyone to intervene. They could have played this whole CRM thing out, it would have been waaaaaaay better to have a standoff with all the communities + the commonwealth to fight the CRM instead of it being a cheap ass explosion.

[@CommanderCalins1]

At first I hoped there would be a second season, but after seeing some people's reaction. People don't deserve one. This was always marketed as a love story NOT a war story. I don't know how so many people hyped , and played themselves into believing it would be anything else. I knew they would take down the CRM but I didn't care how they did it. I just wanted to find out what happened to Rick, how Michonne found him. Then seeing them do whatever they had to do to get back to their kids. People are always upset because it didn't go the way they wanted. If you get this upset over a TV show, I would hate to see how you react when you don't get what you want in life.

[@Joeygbigdog]

I am a huge walking dead fan and defended the later seasons when a lot of hate was going towards them. I loved most of this series, but this ending was terrible. I was very excited for a big wrap up and reunion but the last 5 mins or so felt so rushed. We should have seen a bit of how the CRM changed. We should have seen a bigger reunion with important characters. RJ having a blank face just made me so mad at how bad the ending was. Very upset about the ending I was so hopeful 😭

[@KinoJosh]

Rj was awful in the finale

[@charmedlife1990]

I see a lot of people saying it was rushed but that's b/c people may have misunderstood the point of this story. The CRM wasn't an important story point it was always Rick, Michonne, & their children that were important. Rick & Michonne handled the problem/removed the poison (CRM's red units), informed the CRC so they can take control of the army, and went home as they said they would. Mind you Beale lays out the future in a sense. Millions of walkers that are mutating & need to be handled, spies & diehards are still running around, as is Beale's son. This series was marketed as an epic love story & I believe on that front they succeeded. Rick & Michonne have their out if Andy & Danai want it, but they also have the opportunity to come back to the fold if they choose to as well. I am just happy they have their happy ending b/c it has been more than earned.

[@LUCKO2022]

[@charmedlife1990]

@LUCKO2022 this show wasn't for people like you obviously. It was billed as an epic love story NOT an epic action story. The story promised a happy conclusion to Rick & Michonne's story & that's what they gave. People like you went into this looking for something that was never promised & that's a you problem, not a writing problem.

[@rosiesimpp]

@@charmedlife1990 How do you not follow through with good writing for an epic love story though? TWD has always been a drama-based action about family, that is the main theme that is promised. You cannot just claim that a show isn't for someone because they disagree with your point. You clearly have no knack for coherent and vigilant storytelling.

[@charmedlife1990]

@rosiesimpp the thing is ratings & reviews from multiple vaild sources show they beyond delivered with the writing.

I'm sorry but the superman at the end act REALLY kinda ruined thus all for me. First the teflon tarp, then gas mask turtlenecks and topped off with Rick holding a grenade while it goes off and just walked away like nothing happened. Like I get that they wanna make him out to be the ultimate leader,but still. Then again they did shoot down a helicopter with what was the equivalent of a large bottle rocket and survived falling from another helicopter. Idk just seemed like a lil TOO MUCH to accept at the sake of progressing the story. Also the reunion seemed a lil cheesy, but with all due respect u don't get much better than the first reunion with his first family(which technically his whole other family is gone since Shane fathered Judith)

[@kristingallo2158]

I never liked Rick and michone together. They were both incredibly strong characters that could take on hoards alone. I've been watching since season one episode one and what I really miss was when it was much more realistic. Not in the zombie sense, but how humanity interacted with each other. It's become way more of a fairy tale than an apocalypse.

And RJ's actor is fucking ai generated with that acting. I could act better with a eiffel tower souvenir from a vegas gift shop firmly stuffed up my ass.

[@stevenzhang6904]

I don’t think the season finale was rushed. I feel like it was a good way to show the destructive nature of human weapons and the CRM itself. It had enough firepower to destroy itself all in one fell swoop. Also I liked the callback to Nat and the final explosion gave a nice final send off in Nat’s honor. The speed at which Rick and Michonne took down the CRM also shows how the two of them together really could do anything. I don’t like overdrawn story lines with big armies and unstoppable forces. It kinda ungrounds the walking dead and the groundedness is what makes this show so good. The commonwealth storyline went on too long and it just didn’t feel real anymore, especially with the storm troopers. I don’t think the CRM is done though. They’re still the most dominant force on the planet, and they will be back. FANTASTIC episode and season finale.

[@rosiesimpp]

defo rushed

[@ericlucero4152]

So probably no season 2. Which is fine. The only reason I would of liked a season 2, is I didn't think they could wrap up the story in 1 episode. And what ended up happening is what I feared would happen. A rushed ending. His reunion with judith was bitter sweet. His introduction to RJ meh. If Rick does come back it'll probably be a cameo in the daryl show because those 2 do need a reunion.

[@rhadpenguin]

The first 4 episodes were perfect set up for a season 2 and then rushed the Jadis/beale villain characters because they had too. I don't believe danai or Andrew Lincoln wanted to continue with the characters and asked for a clean cut ending.

[@kristingallo2158]

They made Rick a simp who couldn't do anything until his woman managed to miraculously take down crm choppers with a dwarf. Ffs this is turning into Lord of the rings

[@MadeOfBliss]

Beale didn’t have guards in standby because he orders those around him to leave him alone the day before an operation. Pretty convenient for Rick tho

[@atfbproductions7458]

Cool and grand Concepts but poor execution the scott gimple way🤷‍♂️ Best episodes where 1,6 and 2 in that order. Poor General beale hyped up only to be a nothing character although his interaction with Rick in this episode was the one of best parts the dynamic with these two should have been something built upon during the first 2 -3 episodes. Rick reunited with his kids was great but rushed. a lot of logistical and conceptual issues with this episode and some cheesy lines"Luv🤪 doesn't die🤪" never ever did I think that the Daryl Dixon spin-off would have ended up as one of the better structured and paced spin-offs

[@rhadpenguin]

It's cuz danai and Andrew wanted to close out the stories. It's the opposite of gimples well known slow pace writing and Norman Reedus has stated he wants to stay, thus u get a slow paced story, with a lot of little details in every scene to build on the setting and characters. Unfortunately our favorite couple in TWD had to come to a more abrupt ending but at least they came back after so long

[@bigstevedzn2353]

that's actually mind boggling that you think episode 6 is the second best episode. you either must have a distorted and under exposed sense of taste or be a paid comment. The correct order from best to worst: 1,2,5,3,4,6. episode 6 was a concoction of every single flaw the walking dead has.

[@emjcat5514]

Last episode was definitely rushed, even if they’d concentrated on this one putting a bigger emphasis on the CRMs plans, the scientists (since most of them escaped in WB), Portland being warned with that resistance(WB) and also the implanted army ‘agents’ Beal talked about in communities around the world and then figuring out how to stop it in the next episode it would have been better. I’d also have liked more than that super quick voice over about the CR now going out into the world. I mean we got what we wanted, they’re home (or in a massive field at least) but yeah just rushed, really rushed.

[@video_edit268]

Well, a short story so you can fully understand my point of view. I started the series when I was 13, and am now 24. I started the series when the second season had just come out. Simply put, I was completely into TWD's prime! Then Negan came. I can still remember exactly how I talked to my classmates and friends in 10th grade about Negan's first scene. Everyone was excited to see who he would kill. After that, more and more people turned away from the series, which I can completely understand. Now I am the only one in my circle of acquaintances and friends who still watches the series. And I must say that I have never been as disappointed in my life as I was with the last episode of the Ones Who Live series. You wait a whole 5 years to get an ending like that. Don't get me wrong, I loved the first two episodes so much, I thought the whole concept with the CRM and Rick's inner struggle was brilliant! Terry O'Quinn as Major General Beale, AWESOME! But then came Michonne. I have to say, I was never a Michonne fan. She just annoys me with her Disney speeches about love and blah blah blah. It just makes me want to turn on the Disney Channel and watch the Gummi Bears. Then came the end. At first I was worried that two people would wipe out an entire army, and my fears came true. Then Thorne, also an absolutely annoying character, her last words to Michonne were an absolute Disney Channel + conversation, "Love never dies." Oh man, so cringe-worthy, really. Then the absolute end. RJ and Judith run to them all alone without the others, which was soooo damn disappointing. Of course Rick wants to see his children, but where was the rest of the people? It all felt so empty and listless. Then not having a second season dropped, where they could have developed Beale more, for example, and CRM itself could have been expanded even further, I would have celebrated more than this crap. I'm out of the twd story from now on, it just doesn't interest me anymore. I waited 5 years for nothing.

i think beale mentioned having his people in the communities to tie into what hornsby said about him having his own deals with unnamed people outside the commonwealth. i was hoping okafers last words to rick of "swear on the sword" would come to mean something so im glad in the end it tied in. also small detail but kinda cool...one of the things on the table at the beginning was a can of orange "pop" which was what denise requested darryl find so she could gift it to tara.

[@BohoAstronaut]

I'm still confused about Okafor though. Was he on the CRM'S side or no? Was he telling Rick that when it was time to swear on the sword that he should not hesitate so he can change things from the inside? Or was he telling him not to hesitate and that was his chance to stop Beale and kill him?

[@MrGayle_]

I love that the dossier was put in one of the wire cat sculptures that Jadis made. In TWD, Rick took a wire cat sculpture made by Jadis to replace the other cat sculpture Michonne found with Carl (and later lost when the prison fell). Just seemed like a nice symbol/connection between the three characters.

[@muaddibnelson]

The reason they most likely survived is because shockwaves don’t propagate that well through sheets of water. A giant 500 gallon tank being ruptured above you would probably be more than enough to provide the amount necessary to absorb and weaken the energy from the blast.

Typical Gimple “mystery box” ending I’m afraid, would have been much better for them to have ended it with Beale giving the briefing and when Rick swears allegiance saying sorry we bombed Alexandria, only we know that the kids were at the commonwealth not Alexandria and season two could be about them discovering that, but I guess this is the best they could come up with given all the corners they’d backed themselves into. I wonder though, could this bring us a surprise renewal of walking dead season 12? Doubt it, but one can hope.

I don't see anyway they could come back with another season so unless we see Rick and michone in one of the other cross over walking dead series or a movie in future I'm assuming that's it. Was good and definitely good to see them back together and it end like that.
