    This and 9x05 are my favorite 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 and 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 Zeke started escorting Alpha around the Kingdom and thought Gabriel could have been talking about Rosita and not Tara when he asked Eugene if he knew where she was. I loved your reaction!

    Every single reaction video I've seen of this episode ends in tears. Not just because of the heads on pikes, but also that flashback of them all fighting back too. Major tearjerkers, especially as Henry's so young and (like Carl) we've seen him since he was a little boy. Also, I don't know if you knew but the heads on pikes are the real actors in Walker make-up. I thought they were really good animatronic puppets at first, but there are behind the scenes photos of the actors in makeup but wrapped in blue-screen material to hide their bodies.

    Back when Andy Lincoln left the show, I remember thinking there will never be another speech quite like his, cause he's a goddamn master at delivering those. Avi Nash (Siddiq) proved me wrong. Honestly his speech makes me more teary eyed than the pike scene itself. Watching all of those people fighting for each other instead of running away for their own lives... it just rips my heart out. And kudos to Ozzy and Alec (The lead Highwaymen). They sacrificed their own lives for people they met like a day or two ago. What legends.

    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.

    You really have to hand it to Samantha Morton this episode. She’s an English actress already playing a psycho with a thick Southern accent. When she’s talking to Ezekiel, her accent is more nondescript, and she’s playing Alpha pretending to be some stranger from Alexandria. That’s quite an acting job to wrap one’s mind around.
    I totally dig the leather that Carol is wearing. That woven kind of tank top and the leather wrist braces. It’s kinda medieval.
    Rachel got a lot older here. Remember the bloodthirsty little girl from Oceanside that Tara flipped off? She was there to sign the charter on Oceanside’s behalf. I wonder why Cyndie wasn’t the one to do it. Was the actress not available?
    Yep - the pike scene. This is one I’ve been waiting on your reaction to. The musical score is really well done accompanying that scene, conveying simultaneous notes of horror, devastation, and sadness. It’s quite a lot to be able to convey all at once, and really, that pike scene would not have had the same impact without the music.
    The first few people revealed on the pikes usually have people wondering who they are. People know who the rest are from Tammy Rose onward.
    Ozzy - The leader of the Highwaymen that sported the cowboy hat. You guys called it that he would not be around for long. Never got to see his movie.
    Alec (Alek?): A fellow member of the Highwaymen with Ozzy. I don’t think we had a lot from him like we did with Ozzy.
    DJ: A former Savior - one of Negan’s lieutenants that somewhat blended into the background. I think we first see him when The Saviors attack Alexandria in the Season 8 mid-season finale when Carl is offering himself up as a sacrifice (before we knew he had been bitten). He became one of Michonne’s right-hand people, accompanying her to Hilltop with Magna’s group.
    Frankie - One of Negan’s ex-wives who we learned was a massage therapist before the turn. She was one of the wives who tried to trick Eugene into making cyanide to kill Negan, saying that one of the wives wanted to kill herself.
    Daryl held Carol back from approaching Henry’s head. He had to hold her back from approaching Sophia when she stumbled out of that barn way back in mid-season 2. This show will not let Carol keep any kids.
    Siddiq’s speech and the captives’ last stand - that’s another scene that would not have been the same without the musical score, so hats off to Bear McCrary for this episode as well.
    One thing I didn’t notice on my first viewing: when Alpha comes into the barn with the captives, she’s still wearing that dress she was wearing when she was wandering around The Kingdom.
    I think you two mentioned that the fair would be the calm before the storm. You had no idea how right you were when you said that a couple episodes ago.

    Alpha most likely waited for Henry to be alone and she got her moment when he told Lydia that he was gonna go check on the water pipes which is why he went to hilltop. Earl was gonna teach him how to make something to stop the pipes from leaking every few days so he probably went to go check on them and Alpha ambushed him from behind and knocked him out w/o knowing she was there until he came to in the barn.

    This episode was one of the best but also one of the most heartbreaking episodes from the series. I remember being in tears at the pike scene and when they showed everyone fighting back and I saw Enid it gave me literal chills. I never realized how much I care for her character until I saw that and it just hit so different. Tara also hit so hard because she’s been with us for so long. Also Carol cannot catch a break, She’s always losing a child. But I love the shirt Steve !

    "She pulled a carol". This always remind me of Carol was the original master of disguise. Carol walked with the dead to save the group. Carol acts like she already belongs in Alexandria. Carol masked herself as one of the Wolves to save Alexandria. Carol and Daryl would become Alpha and Beta if they lost their way.

    I was more upset with Tara death cause she out of all of them had been with the group the longest and I honestly think Alpha made the decision to kill Henry after she talked with Lydia and Lydia did not want to go with her. I think she did that out of spite to her daughter.

      That’s why Alpha was crying after she let Daryl and the others go b/c she knew once they found the pikes and saw Henry’s head. Alpha knew she would permanently lose Lydia forever . As for Tara, I knew when Michonne brought up the Governor. I remember thinking they’d only have Michonne bring him back up for a huge pay off later and that pay off was taras death.

That part always breaks me. Also Enid’s last shot of her holding up her fists ready to take on anything coming her way... Wow.

    He would have shown the spikes but not who was on it. Then you would see the faces of Michonne etc and then the screen would cut to black.
    And he probably would have made us wait a 6 months (like he did with the season 6 cliffhanger) while Angela Kang just delivers the goods.
