dwight definitely did daryl dirtier than tara, tara only knew denise for a couple months maybe, daryl got imprisoned naked at the sanctuary, was fed dog food sandwiches and was forced to listen to that "easy street" song on repeat. i just feel like someone trying to break u down mentally and take away all ur dignity is way worse than killing someones new girlfriend. EDIT: Dwight also backstabbed Daryl and took his crossbow and bike, when they first introduced Dwight.
THANK YOU!!! Rick had been cut, sliced and stabbed with tainted weapons numerous times. Daryl put dirty arrows in his mouth. And one very definitely time Sasha slashed Abraham on th3 shoulder with a knife that was covered in walker guts but now ALL OF A SUDDEN you can have "tainted weapons"?🙄 I knew it was a storyline from the comic but I has assumed they wouldn't use it on the show because they’d already established that infection didn't spread that way. ...That is, until it was convenient for a set piece in a single episode. What about when Rick stabbed himself clean through the center of his palm fighting Wendall or whatever that trash people zombie was called? Forget turning. He should have gotten tetanus too, LOL! This storyline made no sense. Thank you for being a voice of reason!
I guess y'all never got bitten I was in a street fight and was winning that person bite on chest I almost died from it had a fever and it was Summer time I gotten cut and didn't get sick but a bite is different I probably would agree with u if that never happen to me teeth that doesn't get brush are deadly
I just think the main difference is the depth of the wound, like getting slightly grazed is definitely gonna have a different effect than getting full blown stabbed, with a focus on the blood to blood contact causing sickness rather than just blood in the mouth (which we have seen happen before with no effect)
I also think it's semi lazy but speaking from a perspective of someone who gets cuts and scrapes all the time. If they don't get cleaned they will get infected. Period. And the deeper and dirtier a wound is, it's guaranteed to get infected without antibiotics. Now layer on top of that, the highly infectious virus on top of the rotting flesh and blood introduced into the wound. Chances are, it would make someone get super sick, and eventually die due to the walker fever always associated with turning. The reason I agree it's a plot hole is because of the inconsistencies in that logic. Like some references above would note, Abraham getting sliced by a blade that literally went through a walker en route to him. The amount of times main characters would get cut, stabbed, scratched etc... whilst also being covered in walker blood and nothing would come from it. It's just plot armor and lazy writing imo.
You’d think Daryl would learn that revenge has only gotten people he loves killed, he had to go out there and find Dwight which got them captured, he had to punch negan which got Glenn killed, he nearly blew a hole through the sanctuary which would get innocents killed, he made a plan with Maggie to kill negan in season 9 which got rick inadvertently killed, revenge made him stupid, not only as a character but as a person, which is why I like that he spared Dwight and eventually worked with negan.
My biggest issue with the walker weapons is that they're just one giant continuity error. Like we've seen several instances where they have gotten walker blood in their mouths, or where they've been fighting walkers with open wounds, or been cut by weapons that have been used to kill walkers, and they came out fine. But now, when its convenient for the plot, the blood actually infects people, but only in this instance and nowhere else in the show.
Season 8 really has some bangers and underrated episodes, episodes 1, 3, 4 and 5 are great and then almost the entire back half of the season is phenomenal
11:03 dwight literally was responsible for watching over Daryl during his torture when Negan made him his "pet". I know he killed Denise but to say that he did her far dirtier than him felt wrong. Otherwise great video!
You should cover the season 8 finale. Ricks scene underneath the tree at the end is beautiful and the way Eugene saves everyone is the biggest plot twist of the whole season
Hello G! I think this episode was really great but personally I think episode 15 of season 8 just takes the edge for the most underrated episode (it was perfect at leading us to the finale of season 8 imo and the whole Negan tricking Dwight and the Negan and Simon fight were just way to wholesome)
That was my biggest problem with the later season of the walking dead, the flip flopping. Oh now Daryl hates Dwight and tara likes him. But now tara hates Dwight and Daryl likes him. OH now carol is crazy and now Morgan is trying to help her. BUT now Morgan is crazy and carol wants to help… now carols crazy again! ETC ETC ETC I even heard Morgan is flip flop crazy on Fear TWD as well.😂
@@Amit-tr1gtyour opinion is wrong. Not bad, just straight up wrong. I'm sorry that you have the attention span of a two year old, but that doesn't make them "bad" or "boring". They each have great character arcs and plotlines. Ezekiel going from arrogant king to just some guy is pretty good. Carol goes from abused housewife to a strong, independent old person. And Morgan goes from dad in apocalypse to crazed madman, to a peaceful man, and this repeats. It's in character for Morgan, as he is very obviously split between crazy and zen. So, in conclusion, shut up🦆
@@M1N1molo Carol has her character development, but I can't stand Morgan who decided to let the leader of the wolves live on the claim that "all lives are precious" and not kill a single wolf 🤓, then 5 episodes later goes crazy and tries to kill everyone. Really a delusional character that I can't connect with. As for Ezekiel, that who the hell cares how his name is spelled. A bad character who half of his essence is wooing Carol and let's not talk about him trying to kiss Michonne 💀. He is a failed warrior and leader, who led all his soldiers into the open and had them all killed. He let his entire army trust him and call him "king" as if he was some god, how self-aware. Every time these characters appeared on my screen I just asked myself "where are Rick and Daryl that will make this episode better?".
i’m hoping you do a review of the episode of connie and virgil stuck in the house with the ferals, truly amazing episode and would love to hear your take
Yes! I love that episode. I watched it by myself and it scared me so badly I started crying. My fiance got back from work and was like WTF? Something about the ferals was so creepy...
I think people are confused about Walker guts because in other episodes before and after people are perfectly fine after being injured by infected weapons. But honestly I don’t care about the logistics because this is the best episode of season 8. I do wish we could’ve grieved Carl a little more but that’s just a personal gripe with the writing.
I, personally, think it's just too large a plot hole to gloss over. It's made even worse by the fact that this same plot hole exists in the comics, and the writers made absolutely NO effort to fix it (or just avoid it entirely). I remember being SO frustrated with the writers for including this dumb plot line.
@@boringmonkey6958 that’s a fine opinion. Honestly if I tried to poke holes in most TWD storylines there’d be a lot of inconsistency (especially with walkers in general). So I just naturally take everything with a grain of salt.
@dharmaetches the issue is that the walkers blood is infected and we've seen characters hit with bloodied weapons multiple times, the most notable off the top of my head is when sasha slashed a walkers throat and in the same swing cut abes arm. The logic of the infected weapons means that the cut should've killed abraham
i feel like the comment on daryl's arc being boring and just mad at dwight doesnt take into account the psychological torture that dwight inflicted on daryl between solitary confinement, bad food, loud music, etc daryl is justified to hold a grudge
I definitely agree this episode is underrated. The fight itself was great and someone turning and killing as everyone sleeps was a great callback to the flu outbreak in season 4 episode 2 at the prison. I would say this episode is my favorite episode of season 8, followed by Worth and The Key and Some Guy was great, too. Sad thing is the battle in this episode was better than the battle in the season finale. And I agree that Daryl was being too stubborn this season. I get him being like this with Negan after he killed Glenn and he has a bad history with Dwight but sooner or later you would think he would learn to trust Dwight and become less willing to kill the saviors and more regretful toward it, like Maggie was after killing Savior Dean in the midseason finale. Not to mention Henry unlocking the pen and walking in was really dumb.
For me the whole "was the cost worth it" and the moral dilemma of the war was immaterial. It was literally a war for survival and freedom from tyranny. The characters had suffered so much for years in the apocalypse and fought with blood, sweat and tears to build a safe community, a refuge from the anarchy, only for the Saviors to come along and make their lives a misery. All the Saviors were depicted as immoral assholes that just pillaged and murdered without mercy, and even though Negan had his code a reasons for doing things, the Saviors were just like rabid dogs he kept on a leesh, and he relished in the power he had over others and living a life of luxury while he kept his subordinates in constant terror and servitude. If they had put any effort into showing that not all Saviors are bad and that it was possible to coexist in peace, that there was a way to make things better other than going to war and putting their lives on the line because its better to risk everything than to live under Negan's boot, then the theme mightve worked. Hell, they spent the entirety of season 7 showing why the war was necessary and everyone preparing for it. Although the collateral damage of war and keeping a level head instead of just going in guns blazing is important, I never felt like this was the case. The protagonists had a very strategic plan for taking down the Saviors and only wanted to kill who they had to and Negan, they never wanted to kill ALL the Saviors, especially not the innocent ones and the workers, but then they start playing it like they did and were letting it become about revenge rather than the greater good, and Carl suddenly becomes this prophet of peace trying to convince Rick to put away his gun and that they can all work together, but that was always the fucking plan, and it's only after he dies that Rick spirals and kills any Saviors that get in his way and becomes fixated on the war, trying relentlessly to kill Negan and even killing escaped POWs that were helping them. Then he reads the letter, then he cuts Negan's throat, and THEN he has a change of heart and decides to let him live, to be a symbol of the new world they're trying to build. It's executed so poorly and was so unnecessary, because the only way to peace was to fight and overcome the Saviors because they stood in the way of that peace
Another fascinating video man, love your TWD analyses. Would be great to hear your take on "Them" (s5 e10) - easily one of my all time favourite episodes with extremes of desolation and hope throughout, but I rarely if ever see it getting the love I think it deserves.
I never understood peoples issue with the Saviors plan, as you said it worked with the group succumbing to the fever...but also pretty sure the knowledge that everyone is infected is still limited knowledge? I could be wrong (someone remind me?) but I didn't think Simon knew what Rick and the main group do about the infection and Walkers? So him having this plan still made sense, what didn't make sense was nobody waking up from The Walkers coming down stairs like they do 😂
I completely agree and I think it was a super cool idea but I do think about times that people could have easily been infected by the walker blood but weren’t (when they get in there mouth, or eyes (28 days later style)) or even when they cover themselves in guts, like does nobody have any open wounds here or
i’m so excited to see what’s in store for this video! off topic but i was wondering if you heard of the new “separate ways” dlc for resident evil 4 and if you had plans of trying it out for the channel?!
Honestly this episode or the one where Rick tries to kill Negan and throws his axe at him and makes Negan hang from the stairs are very underrated episodes
Another really underrated episode imo is season 3 episode 14 “Prey”, would love to see a video on that if you haven’t done so already. Great work as always Thrifty!
I watched Season 8 weekly and I remember it being a chore to get through every week and I really started to feel let down by just everything in general cause this conflict never really felt like an actual war and it never really had any big climactic moments like we were all hoping for/expecting and that’s just one of the reasons why I think Season 8 was so bad but honestly, this episode even when I watched it back then did stand out to me, and I loved Negan’s plan of coating there weapons in walker guts. After hearing your recap I definitely agree this episode was the best episode of Season 8 and honestly one of the only good parts of Season 8. The episode still has its lows (like with Daryl as you mentioned) and also I’ll still never change my mind on how bad of a decision it was to kill off Carl Grimes so still feeling that in these episodes is still terrible, but other than all that, this episode was still really good. Another episode from this season that I thought was good was Episode 4. Perfect example of a good Walking Dead bottle episode Have a great weekend Thrifty, hope your move went well and God bless you in all you do!!!!!!!!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️
Great insight! I enjoyed this episode too but your analysis has made it even greater. I think the next episode, 8.14, is also underrated. That would be another good video to do. Why is it good? Because Rick reaches his breaking point. Rick sees Morgan's psycho nature and understands that the loss of Duane brought him there. He now personally is experiencing the same loss that Morgan felt. He already knows that he could easily become crazy like Morgan. Rick breaks his own word to the saviours and realizes that he has gone too far. He finally reads Carl's letter and starts to turn back the other way. Keep these videos coming! They are great. I know you are doing other content now too but I hope you keep making these episode analysis videos. Peace.
I don't agree with you when it comes to Daryl's character development. I think this season is what really shaped him into everything that he became. He was abused as a child. Trust is something you must earn and something you should never lose with him. He grew up never being able to trust his father or his own brother , so it makes perfect sense why he did not trust Dwight. Dwight was the person that fed him dog food everyday . Dwight was the person that shot someone that became a sister to him her in the eye with his crossbow. (the same bow he stole and betrayed Daryl with after he had spared him & Sheri's lives) Dwight was the person that destroyed his first chance of finally feeling like he had a family and was worthy of a happy life. Daryl had seen nothing but the very worst of the saviors. After watching what they did to him and everyone he loved, you'd be crazy too expect any different. In Daryl's eyes, if he would have killed Dwight and Sherry in that forest, Denise would still be alive. He blamed himself for it and it's something he was never going to look past. Which was why he told hem when everything was over he was still going to kill him. Like with Negan, you don't get to commit 1 million atrocities to people, then do something nice, and then expect everyone to magically forget everything you did.
He grew up not being able to trust his own brother but immediately teams up with him once he finds out he's alive again? Also, Denise really wasn't that close to Daryl. Prior to the only important episode they actually shared together he basically didn't even know her.
I think ep 14 is also such an underrated episode, of course theres the rick and morgan scene, but the overall acting, music and dialogue of that ep are so so good!! I have this bad habit of looking at imdb scores after i watch an episode and i was baffled with how low the score was... I was watching S7 of Got at almost the same time and its crazy to me that that season has episodes with over 9 star ratings while being so nonsensical and some of the acting and writing being so stupid, while (the second half) of S8 is actually reeally consistant and entertaining to watch but most of the episodes have around a 7 Star rating. Sorry for the rant lol
I think season 8 is underrated. I get the Savior Arc lasted along time but when you binge-watch season 7 and 8 they're pretty damn good especially season 8
I really liked that Dwight used Daryl’s bow to kill Denise but then eventually save Tara, felt like that was their attempt at “redeeming” that kill, not sure if it did completely but I saw the reference and appreciated it, could’ve shot anyone, saved someone he knew Daryl cares about (unless, like with Denise, Dwight fuckin missed XD)
Very good video thrifty legit you have changed my whole perspective on season 8 and it’s one of my fav seasons now. Also are you going to cover the new Daryl Dixon show?
I feel the grove is more underrated, this ep has almost the whole main cast from both sides while the grove had just Carol ( for the most part ) and the ep was followed by that claimer fight which was epic so the events of the grove immediately get undermined by " is " and " A "
@@natem9080yeah the show runner started slacking past season 5(I'm a dumbass and forgor his name💀) But season 9-11 were, in my opinion at least, spectacular thanks to Angela Kang.
Uh hard disagree. Dwight was the one to carry out Daryl's torture under Negan's watch. Stripping him, torturing him with Easy Street, dog food sandwiches...seriously? Daryl was justified in his resistance to accepting Dwight.
Haha I’m all good, just got done moving to a new place so working was tough, but the operation is up and running again. 3 vids this week and back to normal next week 😎 nice to see I’m missed though 🥹
@@thethriftytypewriter good to hear bro, and loved waking up to a new vid. Hope the new place goes well! And knowing this makes me feel bad about the comment I put on your new video about hanging out for the SPN season 2 review video 😂🤦🏼♂️
The second half of the episode is cool on paper but I don't think it makes all that much sense. If the wounded are the people who turn, then surely doctors (or at least the people with basic medical experience) would be checking on them frequently to ensure their condition doesn't worsen. If they are even at risk of dying from the fever or the wounds themselves then the doctors (for want of a better term) should really have seen their deaths coming a mile away. For the events to unfold as they do, the people with medical experience would have to both fail to adequately monitor their condition, and fail to accurately diagnose the severity of their condition. It's not really a plot hole or anything but it is a sloppy writing contrivance for their doctors to be this bad at their job. There is absolutely no precedent for rapid onset fever death other than it being convenient for this plot to make any sense.
I think he said he hasn’t watched Fear The Walking Dead but he could maybe talk on how he felt about Morgan and Dwight going over to Fear The Walking Dead perhaps
Many people have talked about the zombie blood being an issue for them. But to be honest i kind of had a different issue that took me out of the episode. I realize at hilltop these people have a wall. But in a world where when someone dies they become a zombie, how do you leave the front door open to the area where everyone is sleeping? Not to mention how the zombies and the people in the infirmary make no noise as they die. It was just really jarring to watch that as I never really got the horror/suspense aspect because of it
The twist with Dwight not putting guts on his arrows is such a great twist, I think it was done a little better in the comics because it happened to Rick and we didn’t know nearly as much about Dwight’s motivations, it was cool tho
It wasn’t that the plan wasn’t a good one it’s that we’ve seen people get walker blood everywhere and not be infected but now for one episode walker blood infects people
Season 8 is strangely a comfort season for me. And this is coming from someone who loves the comics, especially Carl in them, and thinks seasons 3-6 are the Walking Dead’s golden age. Idk how to really explain it, but the season feels gritty, unrestrained, chaotic, sad, and beautiful all at the same time. Though those can be said as bad things for the season, I think they work well as positives for the season as a whole. Though Carl’s death was uncalled for (and I hate the behind the scenes disaster that went on with him), it told a great story for Rick. And the season as a whole is one of my favorites even just from a storytelling perspective. Just my personal thoughts
I'm sorry but I think this is one of the worst episodes of the entire show. It's laughable how incapable the saviors are during the attack (Simon leading them straight up to the house wide open). Even on first time viewing I was dumbfounded how they just walked right up only to "surprisingly" be ambushed. The action was pretty lame too, Rick ducks and swings his axe THREE times in a row. Then the walkers in the middle of the night stumbling around and making a ton of noise and yet no one woke up? Throughout this episode it felt like sloppy writing.
For me the most underrated episode is One More. The episode has an amazing arc and the back and fourth between Aron and Gabriel is priceless. It showed how much Gabriel has changed and how Aron still sees the good in people.
Bro does anyone know what happened to Daryl’s dog?????? this has been on my mind for far too long😭I doubt he’ll make his return in Daryl’s spin off but apart of me just hopes so
I think Dog is still back with the main group at either The Common Wealth, Alexandria or Hilltop cause now those are the 3 United Survivors Colonies. He probably won’t be making a return in the Daryl Dixon show but hey, that could be really cool though!!!!!!!!! I’ve heard of some theories where people are saying that Carol will show up so Dog would be nice to see too. Have a great weekend and God bless you in all you do moving forward!!!!!!!!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️
My problem with season 8 is that they kill like 500 people. Like we see most of the hilltops army wiped out we see tons of Alexandrians killed, they kill like 300 saviours like I get its a war but all the people come out of no where and it's never mentioned that half of everyone else left must have been killed in the war
I have to disagree with you on Daryl’s arc in Season 8. Everything Daryl does in this season springs from deep seated trauma and guilt. Daryl comes from an abusive background in which he was the scapegoat for both his father and brother. He has grown over the years, but everything about his encounters with Dwight sends him back to the dark days of his childhood. He tries to help people he views as vulnerable and they betray him. Dwight steals his motorcycle, his crossbow and eventually his vest, items emblematic of Daryl’s identity. Daryl feels guilty that he alerted Dwight to the existence of the safe haven of Alexandria, which puts the entire community in danger. He feels responsible for Denise’s death. That guilt drives him to seek out Dwight, even if he knows it’s a fool’s errand. He feels responsible for Glenn’s death. As a captive of the Saviors he is plunged back into a similar dynamic to his abusive family of origin: the scapegoat to a narcissistic Negan, with Dwight as the enabler. Degradation, starvation/malnourishment, humiliation and sleep deprivation are all classic torture tactics. Once freed from the Saviors Daryl is consumed with vengeance and why would he not be? When he considers Dwight all he can see is betrayal and his own mistakes. Just as Daryl only truly began to grow after the deaths of his family of origin, he is repeating a pattern he understands on a visceral level: he will only be free when his abusers are dead. He will eventually mature past this mentality, but in Season 8 & part of 9, he can’t see past his need for justice, vengeance and the need to relieve his own guilt. It can be difficult to watch, but it is relatable and human. Otherwise a good analysis 😊
11:06 I was just about to say, of course Daryl. Would have trouble getting over Dwight. He let him go, and now Glenn and Abraham and Denise are dead. But you do have a point that should’ve been a Tara arc
I disagree on the Daryl take. Daryl's been tortured and abused by Dwight and the Saviours when he was locked in the closet. He can't hold back he's only just been out for maybe two weeks. Love your videos still just respectfully think differently.
It’s the inconsistency of HOW the virus works and infects IMO. Weapons covered in walker blood infections and kill’s people. Many other episodes, characters are cover in blood with open wounds but don’t get infected. Other than that it’s a good episode.
I have a new take on Henry: he was always suppose to die. This show has shown us time and time again that Henry just isn't compatible with this world. He's too weak, reckless, emotional, and defiant to survive. No matter how sad his death was: we all should have seen it coming and how he survived THAT long is nothing more than plot armor 😂
The show is so timeless and well written every time I go back to watch older episodes and still come out with something new. It's like every video you do on underrated episodes are pretty much Every episode. The parts of the fandom that left after season 6 really missed out on the greatness of the show. I think it's safe to say majority of those people turned into "hate watchers" but still secretly loved it.
Didnt find a video on this episode on your playlist but i personally didnt like how easy they killed alpha... seemed rushed, would like to see a break down on that episode
yea i didnt really like season 8. but i think it was mainly because of the action all the time, and then in the mid season we learn carl dies. but the second half had some very good stuff. this episode the episode before this one and the episode after this one are golden to season 8. when morgan and rick go slaughter the escaped saviors. rick ''lied''.
I don’t care what anyone thinks, Season 8 had THE best rick grimes. Just like the feral season 5 rick but so much more tactical and calculated. Where season 5 rick was fighting to survive. This Rick was fighting to live for building the new world, so much more meaning to his character other than just surviving for his family back in season 5
The suspense would be more impactful if walkers falling down stairs or entering the mansion didn't go unheard. I don't care how deeply you sleep- SOME-body would hear something.
dwight definitely did daryl dirtier than tara, tara only knew denise for a couple months maybe, daryl got imprisoned naked at the sanctuary, was fed dog food sandwiches and was forced to listen to that "easy street" song on repeat. i just feel like someone trying to break u down mentally and take away all ur dignity is way worse than killing someones new girlfriend.
EDIT: Dwight also backstabbed Daryl and took his crossbow and bike, when they first introduced Dwight.

Yeah idk why he said tara was donw dirtier
for sure tara’s annoying
true but denise literally died for no reason
And killed someone he cared about...not very close to but he cared about Denise
Rick has definitely gotten walker blood in his wounds before, as well as many other characters, so the blood thing here still makes no sense.
THANK YOU!!! Rick had been cut, sliced and stabbed with tainted weapons numerous times. Daryl put dirty arrows in his mouth. And one very definitely time Sasha slashed Abraham on th3 shoulder with a knife that was covered in walker guts but now ALL OF A SUDDEN you can have "tainted weapons"?🙄
I knew it was a storyline from the comic but I has assumed they wouldn't use it on the show because they’d already established that infection didn't spread that way. ...That is, until it was convenient for a set piece in a single episode. What about when Rick stabbed himself clean through the center of his palm fighting Wendall or whatever that trash people zombie was called? Forget turning. He should have gotten tetanus too, LOL! This storyline made no sense. Thank you for being a voice of reason!
I guess y'all never got bitten I was in a street fight and was winning that person bite on chest I almost died from it had a fever and it was Summer time I gotten cut and didn't get sick but a bite is different I probably would agree with u if that never happen to me teeth that doesn't get brush are deadly
Are you really using real life logic to justify ZOMBIE LOGIC?@@johnnyrodriguez-vq1zi
I just think the main difference is the depth of the wound, like getting slightly grazed is definitely gonna have a different effect than getting full blown stabbed, with a focus on the blood to blood contact causing sickness rather than just blood in the mouth (which we have seen happen before with no effect)

You’d think Daryl would learn that revenge has only gotten people he loves killed, he had to go out there and find Dwight which got them captured, he had to punch negan which got Glenn killed, he nearly blew a hole through the sanctuary which would get innocents killed, he made a plan with Maggie to kill negan in season 9 which got rick inadvertently killed, revenge made him stupid, not only as a character but as a person, which is why I like that he spared Dwight and eventually worked with negan.
Both season 7 and 8 had much better second halves than first halves. I enjoy watching 8b significantly more and this episode is one of the reasons why
Agreed. Get rid of the Trash People and Oceanside then you can fit March To War and All Out War in a 16 Episode Season.

Sure…
the episode where rick and Morgan kill saviors is a banger
The last four episodes of season 8 were pretty good. But other than that i could not stand watching season 8. except the simon and negan moments 😂

@@M1N1molo Carol has her character development, but I can't stand Morgan who decided to let the leader of the wolves live on the claim that "all lives are precious" and not kill a single wolf 🤓, then 5 episodes later goes crazy and tries to kill everyone. Really a delusional character that I can't connect with. As for Ezekiel, that who the hell cares how his name is spelled. A bad character who half of his essence is wooing Carol and let's not talk about him trying to kiss Michonne 💀. He is a failed warrior and leader, who led all his soldiers into the open and had them all killed. He let his entire army trust him and call him "king" as if he was some god, how self-aware. Every time these characters appeared on my screen I just asked myself "where are Rick and Daryl that will make this episode better?".
i’m hoping you do a review of the episode of connie and virgil stuck in the house with the ferals, truly amazing episode and would love to hear your take
Its one of the few actually scary episodes, I'd love to see that too
Yes! I love that episode. I watched it by myself and it scared me so badly I started crying. My fiance got back from work and was like WTF?
Something about the ferals was so creepy...
I think people are confused about Walker guts because in other episodes before and after people are perfectly fine after being injured by infected weapons. But honestly I don’t care about the logistics because this is the best episode of season 8. I do wish we could’ve grieved Carl a little more but that’s just a personal gripe with the writing.
I, personally, think it's just too large a plot hole to gloss over. It's made even worse by the fact that this same plot hole exists in the comics, and the writers made absolutely NO effort to fix it (or just avoid it entirely). I remember being SO frustrated with the writers for including this dumb plot line.
@@boringmonkey6958 that’s a fine opinion. Honestly if I tried to poke holes in most TWD storylines there’d be a lot of inconsistency (especially with walkers in general). So I just naturally take everything with a grain of salt.
You could argue it doesn’t get in there bloodstream when it doesn’t infect them for various reasons
@@boringmonkey6958 i don't see it as a plot hole if the blood enters your system u get infected if it just ends up on your skin your fine
@dharmaetches the issue is that the walkers blood is infected and we've seen characters hit with bloodied weapons multiple times, the most notable off the top of my head is when sasha slashed a walkers throat and in the same swing cut abes arm. The logic of the infected weapons means that the cut should've killed abraham
i feel like the comment on daryl's arc being boring and just mad at dwight doesnt take into account the psychological torture that dwight inflicted on daryl between solitary confinement, bad food, loud music, etc daryl is justified to hold a grudge
I definitely agree this episode is underrated. The fight itself was great and someone turning and killing as everyone sleeps was a great callback to the flu outbreak in season 4 episode 2 at the prison. I would say this episode is my favorite episode of season 8, followed by Worth and The Key and Some Guy was great, too.
Sad thing is the battle in this episode was better than the battle in the season finale. And I agree that Daryl was being too stubborn this season. I get him being like this with Negan after he killed Glenn and he has a bad history with Dwight but sooner or later you would think he would learn to trust Dwight and become less willing to kill the saviors and more regretful toward it, like Maggie was after killing Savior Dean in the midseason finale. Not to mention Henry unlocking the pen and walking in was really dumb.
What about "the most forgotten episode" ?
This episode really nailed the cost of war, definitely underrated. Great analysis.
Are you going to cover the new Daryl Dixon spin off?
We've got the same pfp 👍
I love season 8 episode 16. We all know what happened in season 8 episodes 8 and 9. I was crying.
For me the whole "was the cost worth it" and the moral dilemma of the war was immaterial. It was literally a war for survival and freedom from tyranny. The characters had suffered so much for years in the apocalypse and fought with blood, sweat and tears to build a safe community, a refuge from the anarchy, only for the Saviors to come along and make their lives a misery. All the Saviors were depicted as immoral assholes that just pillaged and murdered without mercy, and even though Negan had his code a reasons for doing things, the Saviors were just like rabid dogs he kept on a leesh, and he relished in the power he had over others and living a life of luxury while he kept his subordinates in constant terror and servitude. If they had put any effort into showing that not all Saviors are bad and that it was possible to coexist in peace, that there was a way to make things better other than going to war and putting their lives on the line because its better to risk everything than to live under Negan's boot, then the theme mightve worked. Hell, they spent the entirety of season 7 showing why the war was necessary and everyone preparing for it. Although the collateral damage of war and keeping a level head instead of just going in guns blazing is important, I never felt like this was the case. The protagonists had a very strategic plan for taking down the Saviors and only wanted to kill who they had to and Negan, they never wanted to kill ALL the Saviors, especially not the innocent ones and the workers, but then they start playing it like they did and were letting it become about revenge rather than the greater good, and Carl suddenly becomes this prophet of peace trying to convince Rick to put away his gun and that they can all work together, but that was always the fucking plan, and it's only after he dies that Rick spirals and kills any Saviors that get in his way and becomes fixated on the war, trying relentlessly to kill Negan and even killing escaped POWs that were helping them. Then he reads the letter, then he cuts Negan's throat, and THEN he has a change of heart and decides to let him live, to be a symbol of the new world they're trying to build. It's executed so poorly and was so unnecessary, because the only way to peace was to fight and overcome the Saviors because they stood in the way of that peace
This episode was so amazing and unexpectedly entertaining. It felt like watching the finale of a season
I made a comment on the “Coda” video about making this. You mentioned it in an older video and I’ve been waiting for this! ❤❤
Another fascinating video man, love your TWD analyses. Would be great to hear your take on "Them" (s5 e10) - easily one of my all time favourite episodes with extremes of desolation and hope throughout, but I rarely if ever see it getting the love I think it deserves.
I never understood peoples issue with the Saviors plan, as you said it worked with the group succumbing to the fever...but also pretty sure the knowledge that everyone is infected is still limited knowledge? I could be wrong (someone remind me?) but I didn't think Simon knew what Rick and the main group do about the infection and Walkers? So him having this plan still made sense, what didn't make sense was nobody waking up from The Walkers coming down stairs like they do 😂
I completely agree and I think it was a super cool idea but I do think about times that people could have easily been infected by the walker blood but weren’t (when they get in there mouth, or eyes (28 days later style)) or even when they cover themselves in guts, like does nobody have any open wounds here or
i’m so excited to see what’s in store for this video! off topic but i was wondering if you heard of the new “separate ways” dlc for resident evil 4 and if you had plans of trying it out for the channel?!
I’m certainly excited to play it! I’ve got some more Resident Evil videos planned for the future as well 😁
Honestly this episode or the one where Rick tries to kill Negan and throws his axe at him and makes Negan hang from the stairs are very underrated episodes
This was a fantastic analysis as usual. Are you going to be doing a review on the Daryl Dixon episodes?
Another really underrated episode imo is season 3 episode 14 “Prey”, would love to see a video on that if you haven’t done so already. Great work as always Thrifty!
I always get so excited when you upload! 🙌🙌🙌 Thank you, Thrifty!
I watched Season 8 weekly and I remember it being a chore to get through every week and I really started to feel let down by just everything in general cause this conflict never really felt like an actual war and it never really had any big climactic moments like we were all hoping for/expecting and that’s just one of the reasons why I think Season 8 was so bad but honestly, this episode even when I watched it back then did stand out to me, and I loved Negan’s plan of coating there weapons in walker guts. After hearing your recap I definitely agree this episode was the best episode of Season 8 and honestly one of the only good parts of Season 8. The episode still has its lows (like with Daryl as you mentioned) and also I’ll still never change my mind on how bad of a decision it was to kill off Carl Grimes so still feeling that in these episodes is still terrible, but other than all that, this episode was still really good.
Another episode from this season that I thought was good was Episode 4. Perfect example of a good Walking Dead bottle episode
Have a great weekend Thrifty, hope your move went well and God bless you in all you do!!!!!!!!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️
Great insight! I enjoyed this episode too but your analysis has made it even greater. I think the next episode, 8.14, is also underrated. That would be another good video to do. Why is it good? Because Rick reaches his breaking point. Rick sees Morgan's psycho nature and understands that the loss of Duane brought him there. He now personally is experiencing the same loss that Morgan felt. He already knows that he could easily become crazy like Morgan. Rick breaks his own word to the saviours and realizes that he has gone too far. He finally reads Carl's letter and starts to turn back the other way.
Keep these videos coming! They are great. I know you are doing other content now too but I hope you keep making these episode analysis videos. Peace.
Season 8 is my favourite Season of TWD, its a really entertaining season and there's the dynamic between rick and negan 👌
This was my favorite episode of that season
I don't agree with you when it comes to Daryl's character development. I think this season is what really shaped him into everything that he became. He was abused as a child. Trust is something you must earn and something you should never lose with him. He grew up never being able to trust his father or his own brother , so it makes perfect sense why he did not trust Dwight. Dwight was the person that fed him dog food everyday . Dwight was the person that shot someone that became a sister to him her in the eye with his crossbow. (the same bow he stole and betrayed Daryl with after he had spared him & Sheri's lives) Dwight was the person that destroyed his first chance of finally feeling like he had a family and was worthy of a happy life. Daryl had seen nothing but the very worst of the saviors. After watching what they did to him and everyone he loved, you'd be crazy too expect any different. In Daryl's eyes, if he would have killed Dwight and Sherry in that forest, Denise would still be alive. He blamed himself for it and it's something he was never going to look past. Which was why he told hem when everything was over he was still going to kill him. Like with Negan, you don't get to commit 1 million atrocities to people, then do something nice, and then expect everyone to magically forget everything you did.
He grew up not being able to trust his own brother but immediately teams up with him once he finds out he's alive again? Also, Denise really wasn't that close to Daryl. Prior to the only important episode they actually shared together he basically didn't even know her.
This is definitely a top 25 episode
ahhh your so close to hitting 100K!! early congrats dude
I think ep 14 is also such an underrated episode, of course theres the rick and morgan scene, but the overall acting, music and dialogue of that ep are so so good!! I have this bad habit of looking at imdb scores after i watch an episode and i was baffled with how low the score was... I was watching S7 of Got at almost the same time and its crazy to me that that season has episodes with over 9 star ratings while being so nonsensical and some of the acting and writing being so stupid, while (the second half) of S8 is actually reeally consistant and entertaining to watch but most of the episodes have around a 7 Star rating. Sorry for the rant lol
I think season 8 is underrated. I get the Savior Arc lasted along time but when you binge-watch season 7 and 8 they're pretty damn good especially season 8
I really liked that Dwight used Daryl’s bow to kill Denise but then eventually save Tara, felt like that was their attempt at “redeeming” that kill, not sure if it did completely but I saw the reference and appreciated it, could’ve shot anyone, saved someone he knew Daryl cares about (unless, like with Denise, Dwight fuckin missed XD)
Why does the walker blood infection thing not work any other time? I HATED that plot point!
Very good video thrifty legit you have changed my whole perspective on season 8 and it’s one of my fav seasons now. Also are you going to cover the new Daryl Dixon show?
I feel like season 8 is going to have one of the biggest redeemed arch’s in a few years when everyone really goes back to rewatch the series
I feel the grove is more underrated, this ep has almost the whole main cast from both sides while the grove had just Carol ( for the most part ) and the ep was followed by that claimer fight which was epic so the events of the grove immediately get undermined by " is " and " A "
Now after all these years, I actually see how S8 was really underrated
I respect your opinion, but I strongly disagree. This season had sloppy writing and awkward filming throughout.
@@natem9080yeah the show runner started slacking past season 5(I'm a dumbass and forgor his name💀)
But season 9-11 were, in my opinion at least, spectacular thanks to Angela Kang.
Uh hard disagree. Dwight was the one to carry out Daryl's torture under Negan's watch. Stripping him, torturing him with Easy Street, dog food sandwiches...seriously? Daryl was justified in his resistance to accepting Dwight.
Don’t act like listening to East Street is torture.
🎶😣🎶
That battle in hilltop sucked they turned the saviours into idiots to try and make Maggie look good .
Getting hit by an infected weapon is the same as getting bit. You’ll get sick, burn up, die, and turn. I’m so surprised people don’t get this.
cause it hadnt happened after plenty of other times people got a direct injection of zombie-ickies to their blood
Love these vids bro twd is my favorite show. You should make one on season 11 episode 13 warlords, underrated episode imo
10 days with no Thrifty 😭 hope you're all good dude!
Haha I’m all good, just got done moving to a new place so working was tough, but the operation is up and running again. 3 vids this week and back to normal next week 😎 nice to see I’m missed though 🥹
@@thethriftytypewriter good to hear bro, and loved waking up to a new vid. Hope the new place goes well!
And knowing this makes me feel bad about the comment I put on your new video about hanging out for the SPN season 2 review video 😂🤦🏼♂️
Haha it's alright! Makes me feel good that people are waiting for new videos!@@MonroeRepublic
@@thethriftytypewriter always brother, always. Hah.
The second half of the episode is cool on paper but I don't think it makes all that much sense. If the wounded are the people who turn, then surely doctors (or at least the people with basic medical experience) would be checking on them frequently to ensure their condition doesn't worsen. If they are even at risk of dying from the fever or the wounds themselves then the doctors (for want of a better term) should really have seen their deaths coming a mile away. For the events to unfold as they do, the people with medical experience would have to both fail to adequately monitor their condition, and fail to accurately diagnose the severity of their condition. It's not really a plot hole or anything but it is a sloppy writing contrivance for their doctors to be this bad at their job. There is absolutely no precedent for rapid onset fever death other than it being convenient for this plot to make any sense.
Can you talk about Twd characters going over to Fear Twd
I think he said he hasn’t watched Fear The Walking Dead but he could maybe talk on how he felt about Morgan and Dwight going over to Fear The Walking Dead perhaps
I’m keen to hear your opinion on the Daryl Dixon show!
Episode 2 is so underrated as well. That is literally the most action packed episode of the series
underrated character relationship development is aaron and father gabe
Many people have talked about the zombie blood being an issue for them. But to be honest i kind of had a different issue that took me out of the episode.
I realize at hilltop these people have a wall. But in a world where when someone dies they become a zombie, how do you leave the front door open to the area where everyone is sleeping? Not to mention how the zombies and the people in the infirmary make no noise as they die. It was just really jarring to watch that as I never really got the horror/suspense aspect because of it
Season 8 was hella fye 💯 🙏🏽but are you going to do reviews on Daryl Dixon series
The twist with Dwight not putting guts on his arrows is such a great twist, I think it was done a little better in the comics because it happened to Rick and we didn’t know nearly as much about Dwight’s motivations, it was cool tho
I think the key isn’t talked about enough. I love that episode
It wasn’t that the plan wasn’t a good one it’s that we’ve seen people get walker blood everywhere and not be infected but now for one episode walker blood infects people
Season 8 is strangely a comfort season for me. And this is coming from someone who loves the comics, especially Carl in them, and thinks seasons 3-6 are the Walking Dead’s golden age. Idk how to really explain it, but the season feels gritty, unrestrained, chaotic, sad, and beautiful all at the same time. Though those can be said as bad things for the season, I think they work well as positives for the season as a whole.
Though Carl’s death was uncalled for (and I hate the behind the scenes disaster that went on with him), it told a great story for Rick. And the season as a whole is one of my favorites even just from a storytelling perspective. Just my personal thoughts
I read the thumbnail as do not send us ashtray
I'm sorry but I think this is one of the worst episodes of the entire show. It's laughable how incapable the saviors are during the attack (Simon leading them straight up to the house wide open). Even on first time viewing I was dumbfounded how they just walked right up only to "surprisingly" be ambushed. The action was pretty lame too, Rick ducks and swings his axe THREE times in a row. Then the walkers in the middle of the night stumbling around and making a ton of noise and yet no one woke up? Throughout this episode it felt like sloppy writing.
What's the title of the music in the background? I know it's from TWD but I cannot find it
For me the most underrated episode is One More. The episode has an amazing arc and the back and fourth between Aron and Gabriel is priceless. It showed how much Gabriel has changed and how Aron still sees the good in people.
Love the vid man. Are we getting a Daryl Dixon ep review
I’m gonna do a big video on the first 3 episodes and then another video on the last 3 episodes
Idk it always felt like something Negan wouldnt risk (infecting a bunch of people) cuz it could kill his Saviors and innocents like kids.
came here to ask why you aren't reviewing the Daryl show? or just not weekly
Season 8 gets WAY to much hate, carls death is the only thing I have against the all out war storyline
Bro does anyone know what happened to Daryl’s dog?????? this has been on my mind for far too long😭I doubt he’ll make his return in Daryl’s spin off but apart of me just hopes so
I think Dog is still back with the main group at either The Common Wealth, Alexandria or Hilltop cause now those are the 3 United Survivors Colonies. He probably won’t be making a return in the Daryl Dixon show but hey, that could be really cool though!!!!!!!!! I’ve heard of some theories where people are saying that Carol will show up so Dog would be nice to see too.
Have a great weekend and God bless you in all you do moving forward!!!!!!!!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️
My problem with season 8 is that they kill like 500 people. Like we see most of the hilltops army wiped out we see tons of Alexandrians killed, they kill like 300 saviours like I get its a war but all the people come out of no where and it's never mentioned that half of everyone else left must have been killed in the war
I have to disagree with you on Daryl’s arc in Season 8. Everything Daryl does in this season springs from deep seated trauma and guilt. Daryl comes from an abusive background in which he was the scapegoat for both his father and brother. He has grown over the years, but everything about his encounters with Dwight sends him back to the dark days of his childhood. He tries to help people he views as vulnerable and they betray him. Dwight steals his motorcycle, his crossbow and eventually his vest, items emblematic of Daryl’s identity. Daryl feels guilty that he alerted Dwight to the existence of the safe haven of Alexandria, which puts the entire community in danger. He feels responsible for Denise’s death. That guilt drives him to seek out Dwight, even if he knows it’s a fool’s errand. He feels responsible for Glenn’s death. As a captive of the Saviors he is plunged back into a similar dynamic to his abusive family of origin: the scapegoat to a narcissistic Negan, with Dwight as the enabler. Degradation, starvation/malnourishment, humiliation and sleep deprivation are all classic torture tactics. Once freed from the Saviors Daryl is consumed with vengeance and why would he not be? When he considers Dwight all he can see is betrayal and his own mistakes. Just as Daryl only truly began to grow after the deaths of his family of origin, he is repeating a pattern he understands on a visceral level: he will only be free when his abusers are dead. He will eventually mature past this mentality, but in Season 8 & part of 9, he can’t see past his need for justice, vengeance and the need to relieve his own guilt. It can be difficult to watch, but it is relatable and human.
Otherwise a good analysis 😊
can you talk about lance hornsby as a villain?
Actually I’d say Dwight definitely did far worse to Daryl than Tara because he was the main guy who was basically torturing Daryl as a prisoner
Definitely all he did to Tara was kill Denise and he wasn’t even tryn to kill her shot was meant for Daryl
11:06 I was just about to say, of course Daryl. Would have trouble getting over Dwight. He let him go, and now Glenn and Abraham and Denise are dead. But you do have a point that should’ve been a Tara arc
I disagree on the Daryl take. Daryl's been tortured and abused by Dwight and the Saviours when he was locked in the closet. He can't hold back he's only just been out for maybe two weeks. Love your videos still just respectfully think differently.
It’s the inconsistency of HOW the virus works and infects IMO. Weapons covered in walker blood infections and kill’s people. Many other episodes, characters are cover in blood with open wounds but don’t get infected.
Other than that it’s a good episode.
You should cover s4 e4 indifference
Such a good one
Are you going to make a Daryl Dixon series video
I have a new take on Henry: he was always suppose to die. This show has shown us time and time again that Henry just isn't compatible with this world. He's too weak, reckless, emotional, and defiant to survive. No matter how sad his death was: we all should have seen it coming and how he survived THAT long is nothing more than plot armor 😂
The show is so timeless and well written every time I go back to watch older episodes and still come out with something new. It's like every video you do on underrated episodes are pretty much Every episode. The parts of the fandom that left after season 6 really missed out on the greatness of the show. I think it's safe to say majority of those people turned into "hate watchers" but still secretly loved it.
Didnt find a video on this episode on your playlist but i personally didnt like how easy they killed alpha... seemed rushed, would like to see a break down on that episode
Ah when Simon was in Full Trevor mode for a couple of episodes
Good times
This episode is very reminiscent of season 4 episode 2 near the end
1:20 Simon sweated! 😂
Perfecto video my friend, loved it!
Second favorite episode of season eight. The comic book version of this part of the arc is better but the show didn't do a bad job.
Rick legit just cut his hand off with a tainted axe and nothing happened
hihi! love the video🫶 i would love to see you cover “After” from season four and the impact it had on rick and carls relationship ❤️
7:00 that was a satisfying walker kill
Could you do a video on the episode “what happened and what’s going on” that has to be my favorite episode
Season 7 and season 8 are the rougher seasons because we haven't seen a threat like this before
yea i didnt really like season 8. but i think it was mainly because of the action all the time, and then in the mid season we learn carl dies. but the second half had some very good stuff. this episode the episode before this one and the episode after this one are golden to season 8. when morgan and rick go slaughter the escaped saviors. rick ''lied''.
I'd say Some Guy is slightly more underrated than this, but thats just me
Season 8b is really underrated
This is one of my favorite episodes I didnt even know it was underrated
Going towards 100k🎉
I don’t care what anyone thinks, Season 8 had THE best rick grimes. Just like the feral season 5 rick but so much more tactical and calculated. Where season 5 rick was fighting to survive. This Rick was fighting to live for building the new world, so much more meaning to his character other than just surviving for his family back in season 5
The suspense would be more impactful if walkers falling down stairs or entering the mansion didn't go unheard. I don't care how deeply you sleep- SOME-body would hear something.
I love the videos keep it up man
