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.
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.
Yeah, I think she was supposed to be much more, like a replacement of Sofia's role in the comics, but without Carl and Maggie, she actually had not much to do
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.

wow.. huge fan of the show since season 3.. ive watched in its entirety 4 times, read the comic, watched endless TH-cam videos, and yet you still blew my mind with this comment. I love you
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.
@@MFBloosh I don’t see any reason to believe that story wasn’t true. I think you’re reading to into the dialogue about “a different story” just cause he said different doesn’t mean it’s made up. And it’s not really out of the realm of possibility that others would make an attempt to save them and they’d all go down fighting.
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.
The pikes scene gave me a headache and real nausea. That was a first in this show for me. Tara was an OG since early Season 4 even longer than Rosita and Eugene. She was just starting to get really interesting again by becoming the leader of Hilltop
Back when Andrew Lincoln (Rick) left the show I remember thinking that there will never be another speech quite like his because he’s a goddamn master at delivering those Avi Nash (Siddiq) proved me wrong Honestly his speech makes me more ready 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 Alek (The lead Highwaymen) and DJ (Ex Savior guy) They sacrificed their own lives for people they met like a day or two ago What Legends.
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 final guys 😮😮😮😮. I wasn't expecting Enid, Tara and Henry . Alpha is evil but she will have to face Carol's anger now ... next season is gonna be fiiiire !!!
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.
@@jesses5463 really mate, he didn't even know they existed, Jesus was out there to save Eugene after he was attacked by them, Jesus thought it was another walker walking towards him and suddenly he pulled a knife and killed Jesus, so please explain to me how it was Jesus who attacked first.
Great episode! Poor Carol has lost so much. Murder Jacket Rick would have wiped them out. Not Henry's fault. Yes on the leaders of each community they lost the connection Rick worked so hard to keep together. Your faces when they showed the heads where amazing. I was more upset about Tara, I really liked her, I met her at the last Atlanta Walker Stalker con. Alana/Tara is very funny, great since of humor. Gabriel was very nice. 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.
Season 9, in my opinion, is the 3rd best season after seasons 5 (2nd) and 6 (1st). That's a hell of an accomplishment too, seeing as they did it without Rick, Maggie, and Carl. Shout out Angela Kang for showing Gimple how to write good dialogue lol.
I remember seeing someone say most of the people alpha piked were people who coulda created or helped create a future in this world , signifying alpha really just wants the dead to rule and her live among them
Alpha was more terrifying than the Governor. The Governor was too rash and didn't think things through. Alpha was more calculating. Negan was good but it dragged on for too long. It should've ended sooner.
I read somewhere that Rosita and Ezekiel were originally supposed to be on the spikes too so at least that’s didn’t happen.. If there is a silver lining
The head scene legit messed me up for days man the music and everything , I loved henry character and thought he was gonna be the new Carl and liked his romance with Lydia too , but for the story kinda makes sense for the future. I saw like a thing on Google of just head liked head and got spoiled the night before it went live for uk lol
I think and someone else correct me if I'm wrong, Henry was supposed to replace Carl's role from the comics, but most of the audience didn't like Henry, so they decided to off him
Taras finally gone!! I legit laughed at it haha. She lived way too long. Enid too. Could honestly careless about the deaths. Glad it wasn't like the comics when Rosita and Ezekiel died Also Michonne should've signed the paper. Tara was not worthy and such a hypocrite.
They should have put both 15 & 16 together! 16 isn’t my favorite. & please more walking dead reactions. I always look forward to yalls WD Reactions!!!!
We plan on doing season reactions instead of episode to episodes similar to what we did with our recent the 100 reaction, seems like TH-cam pushes those types of videos more, hopefully all of season 2 will be released by the end of the month
No way is Negan better than Alpha. Negan was such a flop after 7x1, wasted two whole seasons that were so boring (worst seasons bc of Negan lmao) for him to end up being a glorified baby sitter
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

Omg I never realized that. Cool and sad at the same time.

Facts. The most bravest thing I seen on TWD
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.
Fun fact: Ezekiel and rosita died during this scene in the comics
Also Tammy Rose was the only one in both versions
Yup
That’s not a FUN fact
@@Nsscll you’re right. It’s a super duper silly fun fact.
I love that final scene with Lydia and Daryl visiting the pikes The wind the music and the snow falling and that somber music.
I was so bummed over Enid, everyone was not much of a factor. I was also sad for Carol.
Yeah, I think she was supposed to be much more, like a replacement of Sofia's role in the comics, but without Carl and Maggie, she actually had not much to do
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.
16:02 Y'all play this back at 0.5x speed. The slow realization one by one that Ezekiel being fine means Henry isn't 😂
Shoutout to the Highwaymen Ozzy Alek And DJ introduced as villains died as heroes.
Again, Dj wasn’t a highwaymen.
Rip Tara, Enid, Henry, Frankie, Dj, Tammy Rose, Addy, Rodney, Ozzy and Alek, Frankie was Negan's ex wife and Dj was a ex savior from season 8
A - Addy (teenager)
R - Rodney (teenager)
T - Tammy Rose
O - Ozzy (the highwaymen)
F - Frankie (Negan’s ginger ex wife)
D - D.J. (Ex Savior guy)
E - Enid
A - Alek (2nd highwaymen)
T - Tara

Daryl did for Henry the same as he did for Sophia. Trying to protect her from evil and heartbreak. Tara, bawled my eyes out
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.
You’re not wrong, Alpha is the best villain of the entire show.
alpha isnt shit compared to negan
Governor and Negan slam Alpha
This final guys 😮😮😮😮. I wasn't expecting Enid, Tara and Henry . Alpha is evil but she will have to face Carol's anger now ... next season is gonna be fiiiire !!!
😂😂😂”the grandma was a spiteful move” lmao
Alpha is such an underrated villain she has the full package, numbers and insanity
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.

One of the best episodes.of the show imo. Alpha is an amazing villain. In the comics it was Ezekiel and rosita on the pikes.
It was pretty much explained in the episode how they lured the people. Alpha easily got Ezekiel to escort her to find "winter clothes".
It's not Henry's fault, because they attacked our people at first and killed Jesus, they were a threat to us no matter what.
Jesus attacked them before they attacked him.
@@jesses5463 really mate, he didn't even know they existed, Jesus was out there to save Eugene after he was attacked by them, Jesus thought it was another walker walking towards him and suddenly he pulled a knife and killed Jesus, so please explain to me how it was Jesus who attacked first.
@@jesses5463 how was he supposed to know there were humans pretending to be walkers bro 😭 the whisperers absolutely initiated it
The Whisperers started it by going after Rosita and Eugene.
@@ritasworld6345 exactly

This moment in the comics almost had me almost more shook then negans introduction/Glenn’s death
This episode was so sad because we didn't have a big death in a while before this episode
The Jesus disrespect is crazy he’s really forgotten
@@Getstr8cashI know Jesus was a big death,but not like this
Would've been even more devastating if they stuck with the comics, but I get why they didn't. Lol.
Tara was only hired for 3 episodes and lasted years
Alpha was more terrifying than the Governor. The Governor was too rash and didn't think things through. Alpha was more calculating. Negan was good but it dragged on for too long. It should've ended sooner.
I read somewhere that Rosita and Ezekiel were originally supposed to be on the spikes too so at least that’s didn’t happen.. If there is a silver lining
Good point on the walkers sounds being loud near a food source.
My 3 favorite banters are back
The head scene legit messed me up for days man the music and everything , I loved henry character and thought he was gonna be the new Carl and liked his romance with Lydia too , but for the story kinda makes sense for the future. I saw like a thing on Google of just head liked head and got spoiled the night before it went live for uk lol
The only time I've ever hyperventilated from a TV show 😅 I'm so glad I was never spoiled of the comics, this scene was so shocking
I think and someone else correct me if I'm wrong, Henry was supposed to replace Carl's role from the comics, but most of the audience didn't like Henry, so they decided to off him
This is so dumb…
I dont know if its been mentioned, but Alpha played samantha morton is an english actor.
I've been waiting for this episode!! It's so good!! Alpha is crazy scary!!
And Daryl held Carol when her first child was killed. Ouch
WE NEED MORE. AND ARE YALL WATCHING SPINOFFS?
Alpha & Beta are my favorite villains.
I thought siddiq died a long time ago when they interrogated that whisperer in Alexandria so guess not.
Taras finally gone!! I legit laughed at it haha. She lived way too long. Enid too. Could honestly careless about the deaths. Glad it wasn't like the comics when Rosita and Ezekiel died
Also Michonne should've signed the paper. Tara was not worthy and such a hypocrite.
Actually I watched since day 1 and I loved Tara and enid THE WHOLE TIME ❤
@@0oh0ohbaby ok lol
Yup. Michonne should’ve signed the paper, she’s the one who wrote the charter. They always do my girl Michonne so dirty, straight robbed
What an amazing episode though.. tragic but edge of seat stuff
Peak tv
As a solo villain? The Governor is the baddest/strongest.
As a villain leader of other villains? The Governor is the weakest.
No Gareth or Joe was the weakest
Governor had a big community had grenade launchers and a Tank if you give the governor the saviours he would be unstr
Unstoppable
They should have put both 15 & 16 together! 16 isn’t my favorite.
