What’s really interesting is that the name of the song playing during the pike scene is titled “Art of Death”. The 10 heads on the pikes belong to: A - Addy R - Rodney T - Tammy O - Ozzy F - Frankie D - DJ E - Enid A - Alek T - Tara H - Henry

Ozzy Alek And DJ charging without hesitation into a barn full of terrifying lunatics wearing walker skins on their faces to save a bunch of complete and utter random strangers is perhaps the most heroic thing anyone on the show has ever done 5 years later and it still saddens me that they died but we will never forget their final act that they died as heroes.

@ryanstarwalt195 ай бұрын
Especially the fact that all three of them started out as enemies. DJ was a Savior and caused problems even after the war when Justin was murdered, but he stepped up even after that once the Sanctuary went bust. And the Highwaymen were literally introduced as a sub-villain group, but a mere two episodes later died as heroes of the story alongside DJ. There's something about redemption that just makes you extra sad seeing characters like that die in the end.

What really gets me about the comparison to the Alpha kills vs the Negan lineup/kills is that, Glenn and Abe suffered a physically painful and tortuous death which traumatized the other survivors. The Alpha kills are off-screen but left to the imagination since it means one after another the characters had to watch each other get decapitated, knowing they were next to go. Their deaths are actually very haunting. Also, comic book spoiler/reference, but they kept the sticks/pikes in the ground as a reminder of the border and since they couldn’t find any of their bodies, they could only bury their heads at each pike as a sort of grave as well. 😭

There's also no guarantee that Sadiq was being truthful, either. He even says "that's the story I want to tell you guys" instead of saying "that's what actually happened." It was nice of him, but I'm sure it didn't go down the way he said it did with all the heroics lol.

For me the best part of this episode is the fact that when Daryl Carol Michonne and Yumiko head out they are the ones seemingly in danger In the pitch black of the woods the monstrous Beta and other Whisperers appear It seems as if they are the ones about to die But it’s actually the ones back home who seems happy and gleeful at the beginning of the reconciliation of the communities that are in the most danger as Alpha walks amongst them To me that aspect of the episode was just perfectly put together The writers created a masterpiece with this one And the whole pike scene is just gut wrenching to watch specifically when Carol sees Henry.

8:38 There's a theory that the characters have trouble hearing walkers sometimes because of all the shooting they have done in the past. Firing weapons without ear protection is bad in the first place, and most characters have fired off firearms in enclosed places, too lol. Most, if not all, of them should be partially deaf at this point.

Elias is right - the division amongst the 4 communities is what really made this happen so easily. I mean Alpha infiltrated the kingdom pretending to be from Alexandria. Ezekiel probably assumed she was one of many new people that Alexandria may have recruited while the communities were separated, so no red flag went up.

This and 9x05 are my favourite of this Season Tara and Enid almost hit as hard as Glenn and Abraham except this time there were 8 more people It’s implied that more of the Whisperers somehow infiltrated the fair to lure/kidnap them all that’s why when Alpha met Daryl Carol Michonne Yumiko she wiped blood off her blade and said she ran into some trouble on the road. Also in the original source material (Comic Spoiler) there were actually 12 pike victims and the two major ones were Rosita and Ezekiel Fans like myself were so nervous when Ezekiel started escorting Alpha around the Kingdom and thought Gabriel could have been talking about Rosita and not Tara when he asked Eugene if she knew where he was I loved your reactions.

I Also met Henry 1, and Henry 2 which are brothers in real life. Sofia is their sister in real life. Fun fact, I was wearing the outfit that Carol wore in this episode.
