WALKING DEAD: The Ones Who Live Episode 4 BREAKDOWN - Easter Eggs and ENDING EXPLAINED!

[@Nighthunt01]

@@drewhottinger6949 the zombie apocalypse stuff is only the setting of the show not the main focus, the stuff that really interests The Ones Who Live is the people and the drama with it....this is not Dawn of the Dead were zombies are the main focus all the time

[@sithra74]

I lost my son in an accident just a few weeks after Carl passed on TWD. I can understand why it is hard to remember Carl's face with no pictures or video to look at. Almost 6 years later and sometimes I can go from heartbreaking memories of my CJ, to wondering if he ever existed. Losing a child is a grief I wish no one else would ever experience.

[@ladytea697]

[@DeadmansGun007]

I just got so sad when he talked about Carl not showing up in his dreams anymore that must have been what broke Rick

[@BlitzinMackGaming]

He actually says that is exactly what broke him.

[@justinTime077]

Yeah real deep take

[@CesarHILL]

Funny how he didn't feel the same way about Judith, and how he changed his mind when he learned he had a flesh and BLOOD son of his own again. I keep wondering if he didn't remember Judith as his daughter, or if he figured she was Shane daughter and so not his problem...

[@Renowildfire1]

Me too that hit me just finished the episode and wow really enjoyed it got what I wanted out of it can't wait for the next 2.

[@BlitzinMackGaming]

@@CesarHILL Yeah... I don't know what you're deal is, but you reaching across the Grand Canyon with that take. It just simply isn't true. RJ is not the reason he changed his mind. If anything he seemed completely uninterested in him. Which is why Michonne called him out on it. You are obviously watching it through the lens of wanting to see what you wrote here so you have something to complain about. You wanna complain so much that you completely invented that in your head. Come back to reality. You've been in fantasy land for too long.

[@WriteMeASong7]

I loved this episode for many reasons but the top reason being IT WAS JUST THE TWO OF THEM in the entirety of the episode. They needed this and we as viewers needed it too. No interruptions, no bs, just straight up hashing things out to get to the bottom of the problem. Absolutely loved the style of this episode. I was always a Michonne fan but after this spinoff she is legitimately a QUEEN. Absolutely love her!

You ain’t lying, and the fact that Danai Gurira herself wrote this episode gives me even more respect for her

[@emjcat5514]

I’m so happy it was explained why Rick lost his faith in going home and it was so heartbreaking that not being able to remember Carls face was the final nail 😢 it reminded me of when Negan had him under the thumb and he’d lost all hope that time and then and now it was Michonne (and Carl) who made him realise who he really is. Beautiful episode, though I hope it ends with both of them getting out and getting on the road home!

[@wendyc1902]

I noticed how Rick is scared throughout all the episodes. In the helicopter, Michonne is stone cold and Rick is nervous as hell in that storm. I think Jadis is sent to investigate and going to find just enough evidence in that rubble to show they survived the heli crash. OR Michonne's locater sends a signal when it hit the ground before it's destroyed.

@@wendyc1902 he’s really been through it, his personality in it reminded me a bit of in GOT when Theon becomes Reek. I love from the first trailer for the series we thought we were getting red machete Rick back, but he’s been so conditioned and controlled he’s totally forgotten who he is.

I am excited to see another episode.! I am also scared they will kill one of them off. Pleeeese dont!!!

@screencrush, another easter egg could have been Rick's realization that he cannot live without Michonne which ties back to season 7 ep 12 (i think), the honeymoon eppy.

In S7 E12, Rick talks to Michonne after they find the guns, telling her that she can lose him and that he can lose her. That she lead him to where he is, and who he is. She is the one that does not accept that she can lose him, and Rick in the current episode realizes that he can't lose her either. I think this episode was more a a revisit to that conversation than anything else.
