You could say he also lost any hope of officer friendlies return when he was first at Alexandria and he fought that one guy and said “we need to control who lives here.”
It shows when they tried to save him from the horde at the bridge. They risked the chance of a colossal horde coming to their direction just to save rick.
I love how Daryl and Herschel are the only ones who don't look scared, and actually seem proud of rick for finally stepping up. Makes sense that they're essentially his left and right hand in season 3.
Not sure about Herschel but Daryl was a key figure in holding the group together. He was reliable, didn’t start random shit and got shit done. He was a group player even when it cost him much.
@Mesa Herschel was the wise old man. When things got crazy, even for Rick, Herschel always stayed calm. Plus, the man was very useful as the group's doctor and farmer. Perhaps Herschel wasn't a leader type, but he was an amazing support for the group.
@Right To Censor you know he turned it back into a democracy in the next season, right? And only two people in that group were killed beforehand. And neither times were because of Rick.
@Right To Censor most people who died had died because of themselves. Andrea got bit because she wasn’t quick enough, T-Dog got bit because he stepped up and tried to help, Lori died because she wasn’t able to properly give birth, and that wouldn’t have happened if Shane had watched his back and shot the man who would’ve put him in a coma, the group got attacked at the quarry because they were loud, and Rick actually wanted to do something about that instead of staying put unprotected, Dale died because he went out at dark, Sophia died because she left the spot and didn’t listen to Rick, Shane died because he betrayed Rick, the people at the farm died because Shane pulled a gun on Rick and it fired. If I haven’t said enough, would you like me to go farther than the first three seasons?
@Right To Censor he put a gurney in front of his door. Wow. Do you remember how Rick also went back for Shane even after he almost tried to kill him? And he only killed Shane because he knew that he was a threat to the group after he led Rick out into a field and tried to kill him and then planned to go and tell everyone it was Randall, who Shane secretly let out. Rick did the right thing at Terminus, because if he hadn’t shot up the place, they would’ve been led to shipping containers and wait to die to be turned into food along with the group that had already made it to Terminus. And the only reason they went after the Saviors was because they needed food, food that the hilltop had, but couldn’t spare because of the trouble that the Saviors were giving them. During their conversation they get called outside and the leader of the Hilltop gets stabbed by someone who was assigned to kill the leader by the Saviors. The Saviors killed a teenager and took what they had and called it “service”. Not to mention, Daryl, Sasha, and Abraham already encountered the Saviors. They were going to rob them and kill them afterwards after they cooperated. So they went after an outpost. So don’t say that they didn’t have any reason to do what they did. They made a deal with the Hilltop for food because they were desperate.
he wanted to take over because he knew that if they weren’t able to make it in Alexandria because they’ve had to actually survive, then they’d be exiled like the others. He decided that it was right when he discovered that the leader let someone hit his wife and possibly his children. He killed those two guys in the bars because they drew on him first. And they weren’t as innocent as you say they were. Their group r*ped two little girls and made their father watch, and like Randall said, they didn’t kill them afterwards so that they could live with it.
Just realized, ever since Rick killed Shane his voice changed from a rich southern accent to an angry growl. Like he’s never been the same even vocally
@@mickeybowmeister1944 it's a bit a shame to force foreigners to act with different voices at this point but another voice but don't force the person to change his original voice for a movie or serie. It's just because Rick is supposed to be american in comics but it could have just changed one detail and says his origins are british it would be okay to me. i know british and american accent are different but it's a bit annoying to see how actors and actresses have to do efforts on their accents when they play in america.
True.. but the second season was the biggest haul. It was so damn hard to watch. Season 1 was an awesome introduction into this world. Season 3 on, that's when this show really hit its stride!
If the seasons were 10 episodes long the show would be infinitely better. There are so many great moments and characters but fuck me do some of the episodes drag on. I stopped watching around season 7 which is a shame because I would have liked to know how it ends.
@@olidaniels I agree. But i think it's been dragging since after mid season 4 or 5 for me. I stopped watching in the middle there for a while. Couldn't be bothered. Then glenn hid under a dumpster and I had to catch up cause everyone was going crazy about it. Now I'm halfway through the current season. I think season 7 and 8 (much like season 2) need to be watched all at once. That's the only way they become super compelling. Otherwise it does feel like it's dragging. To me at least.
@Hill-Billy Boy Bruh what, Daryl was gonna leave the group before this. Rick earned his respect and made daryl realize being a lone wolf isn't smart. He is in no way a sheep
Agree, Rick n Daryl are basically equals. They feed off each other and play off each other, like brothers. Except Daryl let's Rick take the lead because he is a vocal leader, while Daryl is the silent partner, this would be obvious to everyone in the group. This should have been Shane's roll.
@@inSpihr Shane knew Carl and Lori would never favour him over Rick and they would eventually find out he killed Rick so Shane too me not having a reason to live anymore decided to force Rick to kill him so Rick can become the killer he needs to be to protect Carl and Lori, He even implies this in the dream or hallucination scene when he says he wants to take full credit. Jon Bernthal actually wanted it to be revealed that Shane was holding an empty gun but they refused to do it but Jon still thinks that Shane sacrificed himself and it worked Shane's death created the new Rick Grimes who took down Negan and Terminus, Joe, the wolves he became a badass.

He's exaggerating there. He killed Shane because Shane wanted him dead so he could have Lori. Had nothing to do with the rest of the group.

Its crazy how in season 9, when Rick is gone and they establish a democracy, 10 of them end up getting their heads on spikes. Guess the ricktatorship was better for everyone lmaoo
To be fair the "dictatorship" mentality ended in season 3 when he said to the group that together they were the greater good. In S4-5 they just trusted him and were used to the apocalypse so they followed him as leader.
A dictatorship is necessary to survive though. You need a strong competent leader to choose and select strong useful people, you can’t have obese lards, physically weak people, immunocompromised, essentially people that are so dependent on others. Food and water is a must for everyone, but obese are going to eat it all, weak will take all the meds and water, you see what I mean?
@@Us3r739 Wtf are you talking about, a dictator would just use his power to get everything for himself and his close circle, also nobody would be able to stop him from making bad decisions or decisions that go against the community. There is a reason why there has not been a single good dictator in history and their system always leads to oppression.
Serve you right, Lori. She should have been more supportive. Rick needed someone he could rely on after killing Shane but she pushed him away, looked at him with judgmental eyes. She pushed Rick to his breaking point. Lori didn't deserve Rick's kindness at all.
Very well said. I still never forget when he told her the truth and she just walked away and acted all disgusted with him. The look in her eyes just screamed “I wish Shane had killed you” and it’s at that point that I lost all respect for her. Shame on you, Lori.
@@masonsucksatwriting1914 Omg I was looking for someone that thought the same thing as me . Then , she wondered why he was cold towards her afterwards. She REALLY wished that Shane had killed Rick instead. You could tell by her reaction. It pisses me off every time I see this episode.
I even remember when lori hugged rick, but when rick told lori that he killed shane and why he killed him, lori backed up slowly, like she was disgusted or pissed of that rick killed shane. I was like "B*tch u fucked ur husband's bestfriend and u're the one who's disgusted?"
I think I read in the wiki that she reacted that way because Carl shot Shane and we all know that she wasn’t crazy about her son manning up and using guns in a world gone savage

Skidro not by heart, they film in Georgia where I live. I saw him at Ihop awhile ago when he was still on the show but I never talked to him. Like a year later maybe 2 I see him at the Food depot near my house. And not that it really matters but if you need that much validation me and my friend have a picture with him 😂
Best Line: "I killed my best friend for you people for Christ's sake". Just the amount of venom in the delivery of that line scared the hell out of me the first time I watched it.
Man Daryl, Tdog , And Rick was gonna carry that group for months before the rest of them got squared away. The respect was already there. Daryl and Tdog are the only ones who could actually leave and make it. Maybe Glenn. But Glenn was not an Alpha like that. He needs a group to be functional.
Never caught it before but the look on Herschel's face after this, he looks somewhat, proud and happy to see Rick stepping upto the plate and being the leader the group is desperate, considering Herschel is trusting rick with what remains of his family, I think Herschel is happy that he clearly choose the right man for the job
If you go back to the scene when Rick kills those two guys in the bar you can tell after that Herschel realized that he needed Rick. He was always trying to get rick to be the leader he knew he could be.
@@CC-rk8oc talking about the world changed so much, reminded of that episode when they tried to r*pe Carl. This show had so many hard to watch but couldn't look away episodes. Truly apart of peak television.
Chris Bateman Rick has gotten beaten up by literally everyone, Merle (kinda), Shane, Governor, Joe (resorted to throat biting), and Negan, he’s definitely strong, but he’s not the greatest hand to hand fighter
@@LuchadoreLibros the fight between Merle wasn't even a fight I think he could've put up a pretty good fight, also he beat Shane not to mention he killed him, Rick was shot in the leg, had his hand spranged due to fighting Tyreese, was up almost the whole night trying to kill Walkers with Carl which made him tired, and with Joe Rick really wasn't expecting that shit at the moment, season 5 Rick would've fucked everyone up
I miss the times when a dead meant something and was heavy. Now it's just: oh, a guy died... at least he lived for half a season, let's be sad for 5 minutes and live on.
Miblan 2 I agree, but to be fair, the series is what 8-10 years into the apocalypse now. At that point I’m sure pretty much everyone was used to the people they loved dying.
You know what I really hate. This might annoy you and ruin it. Ever notice that when someone is REALLY struggling with a walker, like they're ABOUT to get bit, and they struggle and struggle and struggle. They survive. But when it's a zombie out of nowhere. Dead. Without fail. When someone struggles. I know THAT person is safe. It's so annoying. I just wish that they would try and throw us off by having someone struggle and then BOOM.. Bitten!!! or even murdered by someone else. I don't care. Just make it a surprise because at the moment it's predictable. This show was in its element when it was unpredictable.
@@elroysworldFR THIS. I know it's all about plotarmor and fans won't like their favourite actor to go like that, but it would be wayy more realistic and suprising if they went that way. They only do this stuff with characters we know half a season. Or Carl
Lori’s facial expressions every time Rick gave a lecture pissed me off. It was as if she didn’t want to believe in him but she did it anyway because she was his wife.
Meanwhile, he’s doing exactly what she wanted him to do. If y’all remember the flashback in season 1 where Shane gives her the notification that Rick was shot. She tells her friend that she wants him to tell her off, and be more assertive. There you go Lori.
I think Rick and Lori were having problems before this all happen. he got shot brought them closer again yet she ended up thinking he was dead and moved on with Shane. I actually think Lori was happy with Shane they got along even made a child in a very short time period, she loved him me thinks even though Rick was her husband. All the fans think Lori was mean or bad to Rick, I see it differently Shane was there for her and Carl no matter what yet Rick ran off all the time for no good reason in her eyes. Telling her he killed his best friend and wanted too is the key here then her own son put him down broke her heart its pretty simple really Lori loved Shane and Rick yet Carl just put down the father of her baby. YIKES the look she gave him was how could you do this to your own son, you couldn't kill Randal because of Carl yet you kill your own best friend! SAD REALLY. Rick should of never killed Shane, banish him yes kill him no.
This is a great moment in the series, because he is fed up with the group's constant BS, quite frankly everyone who watched the show at this point was fed up to.
@@onlycallmeali I have not. However it’s common sense that regardless of whether the safety is off or if your finger isn’t on the trigger. You don’t point a fucking gun at your child SIR!
Reinis Miks I don’t like Lori I think she was the reason that Shane and Rick turned on eachother and she made everything about her. Yay she cheated but she thought rick was dead. Because in that same context Rick got with Michonne after Lori died. Lori thought Rick was dead so she did what anyone else would do she moved on.
0:45 “I’m doing something! I’m keeping this group alive” woooooah he really sounded as Shane 😂😂 our cowboy was starting to know how the new world works
What I love about this scene is tht not only did Rick confess to the group about killing Shane the night after, but he also admits that he wanted the best for EVERYONE and despite their situation he’s still clinging onto hope in finding safety for everyone he’s even willingly giving them a chance to leave but they know they can’t because Rick is their only hope of survival
Looking back, he kept talking about Shane and justifying what he did and ended it with “my hands are clean” then looked around. He was looking for approval because he felt guilty. When he talks about him in a much later season, you can see that he never forgave himself, and until he saw Shane in his vision just before he “died” he wasn’t able to even try
I love how Daryl backed up Rick's speech without saying a single word, he just look to rest of them 2:00 like "are you bitches listenning? good!". Right there was the consolidation of Rick and Daryl duo.
What I love is how Hershel knew and understood what the power structure was instantaneously and was on-board. He knew a group in this situation needs a leader and that leader needs uncompromised authority - Dale understood it too, but had a penchant for petition rather than middle-ground. And through the series, Hershel was integral to helping the rest understand why it needed to be this way.
Rick Grimes is the whole reason I kept watching the show. He made the show what it is today, even when he went away. It's like he was still with the group...
Actually the show struggled for viewership even more with his departure, hell if Lincoln had stuck with it the show could have ran for 20 Seasons like Kirkman wanted.
Rick was such a compelling protagonist in this show, overall I think he's my favourite tv show character just for the amazing acting from Andrew Lincoln
This is where Officer Friendly died.
Lady of the Lake Placid id say he died when he killed shane

YES
@@boytechnichian You sir, are the only one with the correct answer
Funny how everyone looks terrified seeing Rick take control, yet everyone would grow so close that they'd go to Hell and back for him.
It shows when they tried to save him from the horde at the bridge. They risked the chance of a colossal horde coming to their direction just to save rick.

To be fair the "dictatorship" mentality ended in season 3 when he said to the group that together they were the greater good. In S4-5 they just trusted him and were used to the apocalypse so they followed him as leader.
We need the Ricktatorship back again!!
A dictatorship is necessary to survive though. You need a strong competent leader to choose and select strong useful people, you can’t have obese lards, physically weak people, immunocompromised, essentially people that are so dependent on others. Food and water is a must for everyone, but obese are going to eat it all, weak will take all the meds and water, you see what I mean?
If it was a weak scientist or doctor, then it’d be totally different lol
@@Us3r739 Wtf are you talking about, a dictator would just use his power to get everything for himself and his close circle, also nobody would be able to stop him from making bad decisions or decisions that go against the community. There is a reason why there has not been a single good dictator in history and their system always leads to oppression.
Send me a post card best part lol
xDD
Lol
“Send me a post card!” 🤣 I literally cried
Always cracks me up!
They way Daryl looks over after rick says that😂😂
Rick is such a badass, his speeches give me life
Never realized how much he flagged people with the pistol in this scene hahaha. Pretty sure he even flagged Carl a couple times
SmokeEm haha one jumpscare and everyone’s catching a bullet ! Lol
Hahahahaha fuck this made me get a good laugh 😂
The flagging was just for extra intimidation 😂
😂😂😂
Lets see how far we get without being flagged 😆
Serve you right, Lori.
She should have been more supportive. Rick needed someone he could rely on after killing Shane but she pushed him away, looked at him with judgmental eyes. She pushed Rick to his breaking point. Lori didn't deserve Rick's kindness at all.
Yeah you are right
@Vrishab fr
Very well said. I still never forget when he told her the truth and she just walked away and acted all disgusted with him. The look in her eyes just screamed “I wish Shane had killed you” and it’s at that point that I lost all respect for her. Shame on you, Lori.
@@masonsucksatwriting1914 Omg I was looking for someone that thought the same thing as me . Then , she wondered why he was cold towards her afterwards. She REALLY wished that Shane had killed Rick instead. You could tell by her reaction. It pisses me off every time I see this episode.
I even remember when lori hugged rick, but when rick told lori that he killed shane and why he killed him, lori backed up slowly, like she was disgusted or pissed of that rick killed shane. I was like "B*tch u fucked ur husband's bestfriend and u're the one who's disgusted?"
Lori: “kill Shane”
Rick: *kills Shane*
Lori: :o
And in between she fucking gives shane ideas on the kid being his, gotta say she was as psycho like shane in a manipulitive way.
THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING
I think I read in the wiki that she reacted that way because Carl shot Shane and we all know that she wasn’t crazy about her son manning up and using guns in a world gone savage
I never liked Lori. Always being a hypocrite. Michonne and Rick suited each other way better
@@tristanhermanns4800 If Andrea was written better like the comics, I would've liked to see her and Rick
When the apocalypse happens for real, I can only hope that I get lucky and end up in the Ricktatorship. Hershel knows whatsup 2:38
"when"?
@@meddle00 there are "zombie like" viruses out there, they just don't infect humans. Once they mutate and decide to jump to a human, thats when, could be tmmr, next year, 10 years, 200 years even we just dont know
@@geman741 yeah... i saw this mutation fungus taking hold of an ant like a zombie. that fungus actually inspired the Last of Us. and if it mutates to humans it would most likely be game over based on how we reacted to COVID
@Paul Gonzalez wdym? Most of the deaths were totally unforseeable or their own faults. His decisions were pretty decent
@Paul Gonzalez well give me one of the arcs, or you just want any one? I'm not gonna list them all lol
T-dog really stealing the scene
gotta put some respeck on ma boyyy
He looked pissed that rick killed shane
I met that actor before he’s a really nice guy
@@treeoflife7385 And you don't know his name...?
Skidro not by heart, they film in Georgia where I live. I saw him at Ihop awhile ago when he was still on the show but I never talked to him. Like a year later maybe 2 I see him at the Food depot near my house. And not that it really matters but if you need that much validation me and my friend have a picture with him 😂
Best Line: "I killed my best friend for you people for Christ's sake". Just the amount of venom in the delivery of that line scared the hell out of me the first time I watched it.
1:25 Daryl's newfound respect for Rick... man I used to love this show...
Same
Man i miss daryls old haircut 😆
@@wardy6224 facts
Man Daryl, Tdog , And Rick was gonna carry that group for months before the rest of them got squared away. The respect was already there. Daryl and Tdog are the only ones who could actually leave and make it. Maybe Glenn. But Glenn was not an Alpha like that. He needs a group to be functional.
that was the moment daryl new he found a leader
Never caught it before but the look on Herschel's face after this, he looks somewhat, proud and happy to see Rick stepping upto the plate and being the leader the group is desperate, considering Herschel is trusting rick with what remains of his family, I think Herschel is happy that he clearly choose the right man for the job
If you go back to the scene when Rick kills those two guys in the bar you can tell after that Herschel realized that he needed Rick. He was always trying to get rick to be the leader he knew he could be.
@@CC-rk8oc Nebraska is such a good episode holy fuck.
@@themindflayer5952 bruh one of the best episodes ever. The first time we got a glimpse at how much the world had really changed.
@@CC-rk8oc You're goddamn right.
@@CC-rk8oc talking about the world changed so much, reminded of that episode when they tried to r*pe Carl. This show had so many hard to watch but couldn't look away episodes. Truly apart of peak television.
Herschel still hung over from the bar scene 2 episodes before
Hahah
More like heartbroken they nerfed his shotgun.
@Baby P exactly he was too dangerous to be kept alive.
@Ace that was too funny😂😂😂😂
Lol actually up to this point it’s been over a week
Never realized how powerful this scene is
When the show was really good
Guinea still good
Guinea it's still really good but i miss rick so much
JcvN it will never be the same without rick, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be great.
Show is ass now, full of shit characters
“I didnt ask for theeeis!” The greatest speech ever on this show. Daryl was really on Rick side no matter how Carol tried to turn him
But, to be fair, Carol did say that Shane couldn’t get them to the prison like Rick did and she didn’t give him credit that he deserves.
she still stuck up like a whiny bitcc even after.@@pamadams3177
I never asked for this
Carol in season 2: “Do something” 🥺🙏
Carol by the Terminus arc: “Fine, I’ll do it myself”
From "Do something" to "Look at the flowers"
Carol in the comics: ………
Carol in season 2 and terminus Carol are 2 different animals 😂
@@J040PL7every character talkative survived is different animal
"Why don't you go and find out yourself? Send me a postcard!" Hilarious 😆😆😆
The way Lori look got me so pissed
@@RedDeadRanger ,well that's sexist. I'm a woman and I thought her actions were deplorable
james yeah I honestly don’t get why mostly everyone sees men as the problem in relationships when it could easily be the women’s fault
@@RedDeadRanger Getting a lot of incel vibes here.
@@RedDeadRanger Off his one comment? I'm getting a lot of dumb bitch vibes here
james lmao cheeky fucker @cookie comment 😂😆👍
I would love Rick to give alpha that look and say Lydia is staying with me
@Chris Bateman I think he would've lol
Chris Bateman Rick has gotten beaten up by literally everyone, Merle (kinda), Shane, Governor, Joe (resorted to throat biting), and Negan, he’s definitely strong, but he’s not the greatest hand to hand fighter
@@LuchadoreLibros yeah but neither of them have fought Season 5 Rick Grimes, the beard is what makes him strong
@@LuchadoreLibros the fight between Merle wasn't even a fight I think he could've put up a pretty good fight, also he beat Shane not to mention he killed him, Rick was shot in the leg, had his hand spranged due to fighting Tyreese, was up almost the whole night trying to kill Walkers with Carl which made him tired, and with Joe Rick really wasn't expecting that shit at the moment, season 5 Rick would've fucked everyone up
@@salvadorlucero1034 lmao!
“He was my friend, but HE came after ME.”
I’ll never forget, Rick.
T-dog was so under appreciated. He always had ricks back since the beginning. Miss that dude
Man it hit different when he said "If you're staying, this isn't a democracy anymore, it's a Ricktatorship."
“It’s Rickin time”
I liked when at the end of the episode, the split second before it cuts to black once the prison is shown, you here a faint “coral” in the background.
This is the moment Rick became ricksenberg
I miss the times when a dead meant something and was heavy. Now it's just: oh, a guy died... at least he lived for half a season, let's be sad for 5 minutes and live on.
Miblan 2 I agree, but to be fair, the series is what 8-10 years into the apocalypse now. At that point I’m sure pretty much everyone was used to the people they loved dying.
@@Pred439 yeah, but still. It feels more like a sitcom now, and a lot of details are just gone. Most of the time I have to glue timeskips together.
You know what I really hate.
This might annoy you and ruin it.
Ever notice that when someone is REALLY struggling with a walker, like they're ABOUT to get bit, and they struggle and struggle and struggle. They survive.
But when it's a zombie out of nowhere. Dead.
Without fail. When someone struggles. I know THAT person is safe. It's so annoying.
I just wish that they would try and throw us off by having someone struggle and then BOOM.. Bitten!!! or even murdered by someone else. I don't care. Just make it a surprise because at the moment it's predictable. This show was in its element when it was unpredictable.
@@elroysworldFR THIS. I know it's all about plotarmor and fans won't like their favourite actor to go like that, but it would be wayy more realistic and suprising if they went that way. They only do this stuff with characters we know half a season.
Or Carl
@@m1bl4n I agree but at the same time I REAAAAALLLY dont want Negan, Lydia, Daryl, or Judith to die, they're kinda carrying the show for me now tbh
Lori’s facial expressions every time Rick gave a lecture pissed me off. It was as if she didn’t want to believe in him but she did it anyway because she was his wife.
The actress that played Lori did a good job of really giving off bitchy vibes.
She always looking at him like he was not enough or he was a monster. She was never happy with him.
Meanwhile, he’s doing exactly what she wanted him to do. If y’all remember the flashback in season 1 where Shane gives her the notification that Rick was shot. She tells her friend that she wants him to tell her off, and be more assertive. There you go Lori.
I think Rick and Lori were having problems before this all happen. he got shot brought them closer again yet she ended up thinking he was dead and moved on with Shane. I actually think Lori was happy with Shane they got along even made a child in a very short time period, she loved him me thinks even though Rick was her husband. All the fans think Lori was mean or bad to Rick, I see it differently Shane was there for her and Carl no matter what yet Rick ran off all the time for no good reason in her eyes. Telling her he killed his best friend and wanted too is the key here then her own son put him down broke her heart its pretty simple really Lori loved Shane and Rick yet Carl just put down the father of her baby. YIKES the look she gave him was how could you do this to your own son, you couldn't kill Randal because of Carl yet you kill your own best friend! SAD REALLY. Rick should of never killed Shane, banish him yes kill him no.
Lori didnt deserved Rick
He deserve better woman
"Send me a postcard" : best line
This never gets old, the reaction of Carl when Rick reveales he killed Shane ,, and "send me a post card" line = legendary 😁
Shane comes out of the woods "hey let me ask you sum man"
Lmao 🤣
Starting from this moment on Rick became even more cold, ruthless and most importantly badass.
This is a great moment in the series, because he is fed up with the group's constant BS, quite frankly everyone who watched the show at this point was fed up to.
note that after this scene rick kept everyone alive for over 6 months. they never deserved him.
Never deserved him?
@@novicajovanovic3849 they heavily relied on him and took him for granted when things were great but as soon as it went back they all turned on him.
Actually around 9 months because by the time they get to the prison Lori is about to be in labor
Daryl didn't need him
Rick: *takes leadership by force and gives speech*
Herschel: _”my boy lowkey spitting some real shit rn”_
“I killed my best friend for you people for Christ sake!” Goosebumps
He’s waving his gun around like a laser pointer at a board meeting. He’s pointing that shit at Carl FFS
I’ve seen dozens of comments about how Rick keeps pointing his gun at people, but yours was by far the funniest lmao
@@onlycallmeali I have not. However it’s common sense that regardless of whether the safety is off or if your finger isn’t on the trigger. You don’t point a fucking gun at your child SIR!
@@onlycallmeali you should always treat a weapon like it's loaded and never point it at anyone you don't plan to use it on
bro carl is a dangerous dude lol rick was keeping his eye on on him all along lol
@@onlycallmeali you've never seen a gun in your life lmfao
Daryl's face realization that Rick IS the leader always gets to me
Imagine if Rick was like this from the beginning. Shane would probably be proud & fine at listening to him.
imagine shane meeting s5 rick even he would piss his pants
@@koraxshin397 Imagine if Shane and Rick had stayed best friends and partners the whole time. They would have had all of the Villians for lunch.
Yeah but he would still wanted Lori for himself
Nah but he was still selfish and wanted Lori I don’t think it would’ve mattered
Love when Rick keeps flagging everyone with his pistol during his speeches.
I was so happy for Rick at this point. He was trying to please everyone and everyone was questioning his decisions.
Never realized he had a gun and almost pointed at them, hell I'll be scared
He really pointed that mostly to his cheating wife
Reinis Miks I don’t like Lori I think she was the reason that Shane and Rick turned on eachother and she made everything about her. Yay she cheated but she thought rick was dead. Because in that same context Rick got with Michonne after Lori died. Lori thought Rick was dead so she did what anyone else would do she moved on.
I think is funny how when Rick gets pissed with people he started pointing his gun at them while talking.
2:55 T-Dog shivered at light speed
0:45 “I’m doing something! I’m keeping this group alive” woooooah he really sounded as Shane 😂😂 our cowboy was starting to know how the new world works
What I love about this scene is tht not only did Rick confess to the group about killing Shane the night after, but he also admits that he wanted the best for EVERYONE and despite their situation he’s still clinging onto hope in finding safety for everyone
he’s even willingly giving them a chance to leave but they know they can’t because Rick is their only hope of survival
Looking back, he kept talking about Shane and justifying what he did and ended it with “my hands are clean” then looked around. He was looking for approval because he felt guilty. When he talks about him in a much later season, you can see that he never forgave himself, and until he saw Shane in his vision just before he “died” he wasn’t able to even try
Rick: This isn’t a democracy anymore
*insert dramatic music*
Lori: 😧
Tdog: 😠
Hershel: 🙂
Glenn: 😕
Dale: ☠☠☠
Governor: 😂
Tbh the show now isnt even all that bad as it was compared to the likes of season 8, but season 1-5 will forever be immaculate
1:43 T-dog be like "DAYM THAT GUY BE CRAZY AVOID EYE CONTACT AT ALL COSTS!!!"
I love how Daryl backed up Rick's speech without saying a single word, he just look to rest of them 2:00 like "are you bitches listenning? good!". Right there was the consolidation of Rick and Daryl duo.
Carol telling Rick to do something really pissed me off at the time. She was good for nothing at this stage. Had no right
Best character ever!
@_ NEGAN _ What's your opinion, then?
@_ NEGAN _ phora
@zeze nope
@bruh Strongly agree
Yes rick is the best
rick dripping with blood: "mah hands are clean"
Carol went from telling people to do something to doing things and making moves. W character development
What I love is how Hershel knew and understood what the power structure was instantaneously and was on-board. He knew a group in this situation needs a leader and that leader needs uncompromised authority - Dale understood it too, but had a penchant for petition rather than middle-ground. And through the series, Hershel was integral to helping the rest understand why it needed to be this way.
Just re watched the first 2 seasons after many years and I forgot how damn epic this speech is!! Holy damn Rick very nearly lost it here
The first 3 seasons are epic
When the Governor gunned down his own people was the opposite of what Rick did
kinda a shame that the show takes a nosedive in quality after the first few seasons.
Loved the part where he said it’s ricking time and ricked all over the group truly one of the shows
I will never understand how Lori was worth Rick and Shane’s friendship being shattered!
I really convinced myself that he actually said “it’s a Ricktatorship” at the end
I understand Rick completely
2:20 The national anthem of soviet Russia starts playing in my head.
💀
When Rick was a real and badass leader
@Keldor Miro more like afraid of what would happen to his group because he was outgunned,outmanned, out positioned, he was the underdog by far
Excuse me but he's always been a badass leader you cheeky f*****
Keldor Miro That's wrong becouse i think rick got much stronger every season tho
Season 5 Rick was a badass
@King Tyrone facts
He did what needed to be done and said what needed to be said
I absolutely love these moments when they were barely surviving and they have to make it out alive
me too. i miss it
Rick Grimes is the whole reason I kept watching the show. He made the show what it is today, even when he went away. It's like he was still with the group...
Actually the show struggled for viewership even more with his departure, hell if Lincoln had stuck with it the show could have ran for 20 Seasons like Kirkman wanted.
Rick was such a compelling protagonist in this show, overall I think he's my favourite tv show character just for the amazing acting from Andrew Lincoln
0:07
Ohhh Hershel, don't be silly! Who needs ammo when you've got the Infinite ammo shotgun hack? xD
🤣
Herschel's impressed coz he told him something like that before that he needs to do this
Good thing his farm was gone, otherwise he wouldn't have accepted Rick's speech, lol.
@@DutchGuyMike 😂😭😭
Hershel: “GET OFF MEH FAAAAARM”
1:56 Proper gun safety right there Officer Friendly.
I miss the walking dead like this.
epic speech :D
to this day i still re watch this like its the first time i saw it, just epic, he told no lies and owned the screen
When you receive a gift you don't like:
0:52
2:39 Hershel: "That was kinda hot...."
speech shows that Daryl and Hershel understood Rick before anyone else
Lincoln always kills it everytime he's on screen. He needs retroactive Emmy's for his performance.

“This ain’t a democracy anymore it’s a ricktatorship” -Ricky dicky doo dah grimes
The first time I went camping, the darkness was what surprised me the most. So I can't imagine what that would be like with zombies lmao
I love it when he said "This Ricktatorship is leaving the harbour and you can either get on or get off."
This scene is when I knew TWD was my favorite show. Rick is such a strong character
