We LOVED the episode and the ending seeing the teaser for Rick & Michonne. Yes we wanted to see them return home, we know it wasn't going to work as to why AMC changed the ending, but it was just something we've wanted to see for the ending the series. Nothing wrong being disappointed in something we care so much about, everyone has their opinion! We're stoked for getting all the reunions in the Spin-offs!!! Can't wait for the Spin-offs in 2023! Amazing end to an amazing journey for all! Stay tuned for our Finale and Season 11 Reviews!
Check out my theory on how michonne ended up with ricks stuff just a theory…thinking out loud, I over analyze. However I’m surprised we saw rick at all I was convinced it would just be him talking or a crm building didn’t think it would be both in a actual scene.
@@kelliluttman1902 we already know how Michonne ended up with Ricks stuff. She found it in her last episode and that is how she knew he was still alive and the whole reason she went to look for him.
idk if you guys saw this but did you recognize the jacket Rick was wearing and the weapon he had? think back to World Beyond. Silas was wearing that same jacket and had that same weapon. remember what Jadis tells Silas why they had him barefoot and Rick was also barefoot. i see connections there ;)
I don’t care what anyone says I really enjoyed this final episode I was surprised that I cried just goes to show you really care about these characters and you have been on a 11 Seasons journey with them major props to the actors and crew and writers for giving this wonderful show a great send off
Yeh I’d of made the rick reveal different , like made michonne be the first appearance then when it’s her face over the fire, change to ricks over the fire and change the music , then have his speech , as everyone is looking at ricks first appearance when he’s writing and never know whether it’s a old footage or if it’s even rick .
Me too! Some people were just so negative on twd i think they just couldn't get out of that. Some reactors just bashed everything and tbh the show wasn't that bad to me. Cried thru this finale. Fixing to watch this now. Hope they don't hate it
@@kimcottingham8043 fr like people complain I better see Rick and when they do they pissed because it’s opposite to what they wanted when the people behind the show wanted it their way like if they listen to every fan on a tv show on what they want the whole ending will be a total mess and they have to pick out of how many things then if they use someone’s idea the other people that idea wasn’t picked will be pissed and it’s never a ending thing 😂😂
NObody has mentioned the easter egg about Gabriel. Making up for the church. Beautifully done. It's totally relevant. Maggie showing mercy like Rick did to Negan. Lots of things that have come full circle.
I cried so much this episode man. Everyone crying over Luke like that, I lost it. Rosita, what can I say, that was so incredibly sad. The music was perfect. The orchestra as well being used throughout the episode was fantastic!
@@whiterhino5276actually they did bec they covered everything they needed and wanted to on the primary show bec they knew they would have spin offs so they only had to cover enough til the end and the other stuff goes forward with the spin offs…
Carol took Hornsby's job, Darryl mentioned it. Also, I got the impression that Darryl wasn't leaving to specifically find Rick & Michonne but to explore and said if he hears anything while he was "out there" he'll find them or something to that effect.
No, because he also says "I'll find them, I'll bring them home." So that heavily implies that's what he's doing...and it makes sense too. It's been a year since he found out Michonne is looking for Rick, and they're still not home.
@@kimberlywilmoth9184 He does say that but, correct me if I'm wrong because I may be misremembering, doesn't he prefix it with "while I'm out there"? Meaning that isn't his sole purpose but of course he's going to follow up on any info he gets about them/their whereabouts in the process. For example, if I said "I'm going to the grocery store, I'll pick you up a newspaper while I'm out" and someone asks where I went are you going to tell them I'm grocery shopping or out getting you the paper?
Being a fan for 12 years, I wasn’t sure if they could make me happy or satisfied with this ending. But I actually am, and I’m so pumped for the new stories to come!
i thought i wanted rick/michonne to come back in present-time and reunite with everyone, but looks like they are saving those powerful reunions for when they finally cross paths, and it'll be even more powerful. Beyond satisfying ending for me, they closed everything nicely and now Rick is the main protagonist once again of the story. This is a 10/10 finale from me honestly
Idk why ppl keep saying they wish Rick and michonne to come back for the finale lol it’s literally impossible and wouldn’t make any sense but everyone has they’re on opinions lol but I think that ending was fine tbh
Real men cry 😭 Love you guys and I want to thank you for all the awesome reaction vids to this amazing show, I know there will be reactions to spin-offs but this one will always be the best!! Thank you both xoxox
You guys should have not been expecting Rick and Michonne to be back in Alexandria at the end. I went in expecting nothing to come with Rick and Michonne and was pleasantly surprised and it ended really well
I agree nobody should have expected them to actually come back and reunite But if they hadn't somehow included at least Rick in the finale in some way, it'd just be a giant middle finger to all the fans honestly.
U guys notice Daryl giving Judith blood was like back when Rick gave blood to Carl, an when the walker hit glass with a rock, that goes back to when they were at the shopping center in begining episodes.. they went back to a lot of scenes in this episode. Pamela almost took carols death in comic. It’s amazing how they did this episode! Loved it!
There were a few scenes commemorating past episodes. Besides the two you listed there was the Commonwealther who died in the vestibule of the door entrance was similar to Noah’s death. Rosita’s scene in bed was the same as Bob’s scene in the church. Gabriel wanting to open the gate at the estates was the opposite of what he did at the church at the beginning of the apocalypse by locking out his parishioners. Daryl gave the opposite of Rick’s claim that they were the walking dead. Judith telling Milton that it wasn’t too late to save people, similar to Rick’s line at the prison with the Governor. The dinner with the survivors was the same as the dinner after Glenn and Abraham’s passing. The wall at the fountain was the same as the wall at Alexandria listing the dead. Judith’s compass that Negan took, he gave it back to her with the same line of using it to find her way. The boat at the end was the same boat at Bloodworth Island where Michonne found Rick’s belongings. The first Walker in Daryl’s first scene was Greg and Greg was the Walker in Daryl’s last scene of the series. All these commemorations made the finale amazing.
Waited for this! I cried the whole time, can’t believe it’s finally over, absolutely beautiful episode. I’m satisfied. I started watching the walking dead when i was 14 yrs old ten years ago and now I’m 25. This show has been everything to me such a huge part of my life and it was awesome to experience so much of it with you guys! Can’t wait for more when the spinoffs come (:
It was a very good farewell to the main show. I can’t wait for the spin offs next year. And the actor for Rosita wanted to die because she wanted to mess with our feelings for a last time. That’s what she said during talking dead. And the best part of the series finale was rick and michonne.
This is the reaction I've been looking forward to the most. I started watching you guys after the final comic issue review and you've been my go-to TWD channel ever since. Excited to see what's next, for both the series and this channel. Thank you guys for all the hard work and good memories
I had the exact same reaction initially about not getting the reunion we wanted....but after having more time to let it soak in, I'm fine with it. There's still a lot of story out there and it seems like they're saving it for another time. Plus we did still get to see them with new footage. The episode as a whole was fantastic in my opinion. From the action, emotion, score, dialogue, the effects, and you could tell they really poured their hearts into this finale. This just gets me even more excited for the spin-offs and excited to see your reactions!
Duuuude! You guys do not pay attention! The helicopter speaker said "Consigneer Grimes" he'd became a officer at CRM and then Morgan's voice said exactly what Rick said to him (Morgan) at season 3 "you cannot scape the living"
@@NocBroNation Or he just trainning the troops for scaping subjects. I bet he just is training the troops. Hence the methods of the 'bare foot can't run'
Who would ever of thought that Eugene would outlive Rosita & Abraham like whaaat that’s insane! Eugene definitely isn’t the same person he was when we saw him as a coward in the beginning when he debuted with Rosita & Abraham as a trio in season 4 .
Omfg guys! What an amazing reaction video to end on and what a truly amazing finale. I was blown away by the mirroring of the past. Darryl giving Judith blood after being shot which is a throwback to Rick giving Carl blood in s2 after he was shot, also Daryl blocking the door in the hospital how Shane did for Rick at the start, loved those 2 parts. I love how we started in the hospital and came full circle to a hospital with Judith and then to top it off the Rick and Michonne scene at the end! I'm so excited for what's to come but so sad to see the end of an era! 2010 to 2022 12 years 177 episodes and 1 obsession and we now finally have the new spin off that once again focuses on the Great Rick Grimes I can't wait and I hope you guys will continue to do great work still xx
The only thing that could have made the ending with Carol & Daryl better would be if when he said "I love you" that she replied "I love you too, Pookie" That would have been amazing!
First show,game,movie ever to make me actually ball my eyes out rosita got me. Not only was she my grandfather favorite before he passed away but she reminded me of my girl the way she said i love you to eugene an the look she gave him broke me
I love petty carol. At least we don't have to worry about who gets your house. 🤣 reminded me of when she was antagonizing Jessie's husband in Alexandria 'and I want my dish back. Clean.'... petty carol is the best carol.
The finale had me crying on and off all day (I watched it the next day). I just had such a connection to these characters since I was a teenager, and to know this cornerstone of my life officially ended was like experiencing the death of a close friend.
You missed Daryl saying about the blood transfusion that he has the blood you can give anyone same as me. Easter egg recalling daddy as Judith says and Carl being shot. Rick did all that for Carl when he got shot when he was small.
Did you know that Chandler Riggs aka Carl was in The final scene at the Hilltop when Maggie was telling Daryl and Carol, "I want to talk about the future. He was in the background as a Hilltopper farming
It was an Easter egg to the prison scene when Rick tells Carl that he will need a farmers hat because the campaign he was wearing would get in the way. It was great!
I laughed at myself during that blood transfusion scene because I can watch walkers tear someone apart but I had to look away when I saw that needle going into Daryl’s arm 😅
I really loved the finale and how they wrapped up "The Walking Dead" so much. The series was always about our ever growing family trying to stay alive and find themselves a safe home to live. And they did that in the end by saving The Commonwealth, having our guys taking on key roles in it's future running, and finally giving Carol, Ezekiel, Judith, R.J., Eugene, Gabriel, Aaron, Gracie, Lydia, Elijah, Jerry, Nabila, Connie, Kelly, Magna, Yumiko, Tomi, Annie, Mercer, Princess, Max, and Coco/Rosie a safe place to live out their days in their forever homes. Well also setting up the departures of Daryl | Maggie and Negan for their spin-off's as well as the reuniting of Rick & Michonne in their spin-off. In a interview Angela Kang said they choose to have one major death instead of endless deaths because it felt more sad and emotional rather then making it just be for shock and awe sake. They wanted the characters to all to feel one last major death of their family. Fun fact Christian Serratos who played Rosita Espinosa volunteered herself to Angela to be the major death, that was actually intended for another character ( Carol ? ) because she felt she wanted final closer for Rosita and from TWD Universe. For anyone who hasn't yet watched the "Talking Dead" after show I highly suggest you checkout the hour and a half special ( with 40 cast and crew ) asap as there were so many little inside nuggets of info and cast reunion moments you don't want to miss having seen.
@@NocBroNation Gonna miss your reactions during the wait for the spin off. Found myself constantly checking to see if you’d uploaded the final reaction. Thank you guys for the continuously awesome videos!💙
Danai and Andy were very adamant about not coming back to save the day when they were asked to come for the finale. They wanted their part to be minor so people can focus on the characters that have been there since they left.
In my opinion the episode was fantastic.. The commonwealth arc was wrapped up nicely, along with the deaths and the characters we might not see again. Many nice little callbacks.. Like in the hospital with Daryl and Jude. The Variant with the Rock! Gabe stepping up and going to open the gates to save the people from being eaten alive (unlike his congregation). Daryl getting the speech was perfect.. Like you said, the way it was said and the speech itself was very fitting to his character. But also if you look back at S5 when Rick gives the "we are the walking dead" speech, Daryl responds with "we ain't them" So I think it was great they gave the line to him. The Rick and Michonne dialogue and montage was a really nice addition. And the new Rick and Michonne shots were good, it gave us Rick and patches some holes 10x13 left. As much as it's sad we can't get more, I completely understand.. They don't want to run the risk of tarnishing the spinoff. Danai and Andy also said they didn't want to overshadow everything else. So it is what it is.. Not everyone's going to like it or like the episode, but that's fine! Everyone's entitled to an opinion. I thought it was great overall, and I look forward to the future of TWD and your reactions!
I dont know just be grateful that Andrew Lincoln Andrew Danai Gurira made An appearance in the last episode, This is what happens when you write a story line in youre head you are bound to end up disappointed, i for one loved This last episode what a rollercoaster of emotions, Thank You Walking Dead for last 12yrs❤
I am actually glad they didn't show Rick and Michonne return to Alexandria, even though I initially hoped they would. They have saved that for the Rick and Michonne show next year and that makes it so much better to look forward to. Well as long as it gets shown in the UK anyway!. I just loved the final episode. Such exciting scenes, sad scenes, hard to watch scenes, but bittersweet peaceful scenes to end with. Somehow life seems a bit empty now.........
@@PhoenixReturns not sure. The commonwealth took over Oceanside like they did Alexander. They didn’t kill anyone at Alexander, So it will be nice who still there and who took over running it after a year went by.
@@PhoenixReturns they escape. Luke said the commonwealth took over and it was turn into an outpost. So the Oceanside people could be there still under the commonwealth control. Just like Alexander was.
The writers did all they could do. If they give us a reunion then we know how their story concludes, this way we got them in the finale, just what we wanted but only now we have a promise of a story. Hats of to the writers because this could have been a GOT or Seinfeld situation and the did right by us the fans
the part with the walker smashing the window with the rock was a throwback to season 1 when the group were in the store and they had to escape in the truck
It did say what Carol was doing. Daryl said "you took Hornsby's job and made it your own" or something like that. So she's obviously settled for a Government job.
Absolutely stellar finale. Nitpicks here and there but who cares when it’s otherwise so good??? 99% of shows bungle the finale. TWD nailed it. WHAT A RIDE!
Personally, I felt this was a pretty good finale that wrapped up not only the major storyline but also a majority of the character arcs. Yes, some were left open-ended due to the spin-offs but I think they did a good enough job to still at least give us some sense of closure.
Thank you for the content over the years NocBro Nation! Gonna be weird not seeing you guys react to the main show anymore, but at least we got some more spin offs on the way.
It was a good ending for the main show. Of course, the true ending will be a reunion between Rick and his family which we’ll have to wait for until next year. I hope Judith and Rick Jr. are included because it would be a crime if they weren’t.
Apparently, Andrew and Danai didn’t want Rick and Michonne to just turn up and save the day. They felt it would undermine the hard work all of the other actors/writers etc had been doing on the show in the final seasons since they left, they were very adamant about it. Also, if they showed up, it would negate the need for the spin-off, as they would already be back. Kinda defeats the point! I love that we got them and it gave us some interesting tidbits of what happened and what’s to come. I can’t wait for the spin-offs, I just hope Scott GIMPle doesn’t ruin them like he has Fear and the other spin-offs.
I think Daryl is going out in the world as a ranger (like his job has been for basically every community) but not necessarily just to look for Rick, he said “if I find them when I’m out there I’ll bring them back” I took that as meaning he’s aware they’re out there but it’s not his mission - we’ll see!
@@orlog3343 “There’s a lot out there to find out about. And it think it’s time we did.” Just that part. I completely agree with you that Darryl is out there primarily to scout and will just keep an eye out for signs of Rick and Michonne. I just think other people missed what Maggie said and think he’s out there just to look for them.
I believe when he said “I’ll bring them back” he meant Rick and Michonne because he was talking to Judith after she told them Michonne went looking for Rick bc he is still alive! Well said though! It was a great episode!
You guys are great. This was a really fun reaction. As to your disappointment about Rick & Michone not being back with their old friends/family? That's just too easy. There's no way that was ever gonna happen. Hopefully, by the end of their yes, MINI-series (confirmed, unless it's a huge hit or something), they will find their way home and that's when we get our reunion.
Yeah kinda reminded me of the last time I saw my grandma alive in her bed.. she had cancer and took my hand and kissed it not even 15 minutes before she passed as we was all visiting her saying goodbye
@@joeyphillips1181 thank you for sharing Joey. I lost my mother when I was eight years old I’m going on 48 now. I thought that I had gotten over this but that scene took me right back to that time in my life.
Ok so my predictions: Now we know that Rick was working as a grunt at an isolated CRM location, maybe the CRM home base city. He was going to escape by taking that boat but got caught & tossed his stuff in the boat. I am 100% sure that the phone with its drawing was not made by rick but by Jadis. Jadis is the artists on the show and knew what Judith looked like at that point in her life. That means that Rick & Jadis talk & at some point she gives him the phone. We know from World Beyond show that Jadis was at the CRM base city several times & probably has visited Rick more than once. That message on the phone in Mandarin?? I bet is the name of the city Rick is located. By writing the name in a foreign language no one would know what it says and take it away from Rick. Remember the CRM are super secretive and its possible Rick did not even know the City's name until the point he starts to try his escapes. Maybe Jadis is the one who tells Rick the city name. I also suspect that the happy ending we see for the main show will not last plot wise. At some point the CRM will get around to seeing what happened with the commonwealth and maybe it, or Hilltop/Alexandria are attacked and people taken. THs is what leads Maggie and Negan to go on a search for Hershel & his wife who are among the taken.
Basically I've just spent ages writing the same things! Well said. There is a saying on the phone in Japanese. Something about waiting and patience and it'll be worth it. I am sure that Jadis did that to keep hope alive for Rick then when he escapes she's grassed him up because she basically says that at the end of the WB. Well thought out answers DB.
Yes it's mad how they miss so many things. They are huge fans like us but they miss things and question it and the answer is often there. We all do it.
27:52 when Daryl started talking I knew it was coming, so when he said "we ain't the walking dead" I was VERY happy! I posted my reaction on TH-cam, which is something I never do!
We LOVED the episode and the ending seeing the teaser for Rick & Michonne. Yes we wanted to see them return home, we know it wasn't going to work as to why AMC changed the ending, but it was just something we've wanted to see for the ending the series. Nothing wrong being disappointed in something we care so much about, everyone has their opinion! We're stoked for getting all the reunions in the Spin-offs!!! Can't wait for the Spin-offs in 2023!

Disagree guys--love how they handled Rick and Michonne...story began with Rick and w e end with Rick being back. EXTREMELY happy to see them again.
Absolutely was a great finale.
Rosita and Eugene, and Maggie and Negan’s scenes were so damn good
I don't know Luke's death wow and so early in the episode
@@soulburst I could not care less about Luke personally lmao
Daryl says before he gives her the blood that he has the universal blood and Merle used to make him sell it as a kid for money.
I’m gonna rewatch the whole show
I think that Jadis drew the pictures on Rick's cell phone... She probably saw michone and Judith wearing Rick's hat prior to her joining the CRM..
In the episode they said Carol had taken on Hornsby's job and made it her own.
Well, Daryl has 0 negative blood, so he could be a donor to basically everyone. It was explained pretty smoothly
Rosita dying with Eugene by her side And her telling Eugene I’m glad it was you at the end that about broke me
i thought i wanted rick/michonne to come back in present-time and reunite with everyone, but looks like they are saving those powerful reunions for when they finally cross paths, and it'll be even more powerful. Beyond satisfying ending for me, they closed everything nicely and now Rick is the main protagonist once again of the story. This is a 10/10 finale from me honestly
I like to think this time Negan stayed in touch with Lydia after he left
I'm so curious how she ends up back with Negan considering what she just told him about having him around.
You did get to see what job carol was doing. Daryl literally said to her you took hornsby’s job and made it your own
Idk why ppl keep saying they wish Rick and michonne to come back for the finale lol it’s literally impossible and wouldn’t make any sense but everyone has they’re on opinions lol but I think that ending was fine tbh

Abraham will be so proud of Eugene 😂
Yes, it’s sad that Daryl did the very thing that Judith feared he would do - leave.
Before Daryl gave Judith blood he stated his blood goes with anyone and Merle used to make him sell it for money
rosita died with a smile on her face :( she complete her job as a mother and can rest in peace 😔
Great title for the episode.

The intro music was a live orchestra recording for the last episode.
The entire score/music was great. I laughed when heard Living Colour’s Cult of personality in the herd killing scene.
Daryl is the one who told Rick there not the walking dead back in season 5 so they sorta went full circle when he said it at the end
The finale was great and hey I’m just glad we were able to see richonne period.

From the action, emotion, score, dialogue, the effects, and you could tell they really poured their hearts into this finale. This just gets me even more excited for the spin-offs and excited to see your reactions!
Duuuude! You guys do not pay attention! The helicopter speaker said "Consigneer Grimes" he'd became a officer at CRM and then Morgan's voice said exactly what Rick said to him (Morgan) at season 3 "you cannot scape the living"
We saw it and heard it! He was dressed more like he was working at a culling facility simular to Silas in World Beyond!
@@NocBroNation Or he just trainning the troops for scaping subjects. I bet he just is training the troops. Hence the methods of the 'bare foot can't run'
@@NocBroNation and it seems more like the jacket that Felix gives to Iris
One of the best finales
Who would ever of thought that Eugene would outlive Rosita & Abraham like whaaat that’s insane! Eugene definitely isn’t the same person he was when we saw him as a coward in the beginning when he debuted with Rosita & Abraham as a trio in season 4 .
I've been waiting for this video since the episode ended, love you guys
Omfg guys! What an amazing reaction video to end on and what a truly amazing finale. I was blown away by the mirroring of the past. Darryl giving Judith blood after being shot which is a throwback to Rick giving Carl blood in s2 after he was shot, also Daryl blocking the door in the hospital how Shane did for Rick at the start, loved those 2 parts. I love how we started in the hospital and came full circle to a hospital with Judith and then to top it off the Rick and Michonne scene at the end! I'm so excited for what's to come but so sad to see the end of an era! 2010 to 2022 12 years 177 episodes and 1 obsession and we now finally have the new spin off that once again focuses on the Great Rick Grimes I can't wait and I hope you guys will continue to do great work still xx
The only thing that could have made the ending with Carol & Daryl better would be if when he said "I love you" that she replied "I love you too, Pookie" That would have been amazing!
Gabriel decided to risk his lives to let people in which is a redemption from when he didn’t let people in his church and they died
HOLY SHIT I DIDNT CATCH THAT
They are showing us how michonne found his stuff
First show,game,movie ever to make me actually ball my eyes out rosita got me. Not only was she my grandfather favorite before he passed away but she reminded me of my girl the way she said i love you to eugene an the look she gave him broke me
Last scene when Daryl rides away and music is absolutely emotional🥹
I love petty carol. At least we don't have to worry about who gets your house. 🤣 reminded me of when she was antagonizing Jessie's husband in Alexandria 'and I want my dish back. Clean.'... petty carol is the best carol.
Did you notice the weapon Rick had was the SAME one that Silas had at the end of World Beyond?
same crm jacket too
I also noticed this, maybe Rick is assigned to one of the decontamination center of the CRM same as Silas
Wouldn’t make sense for Rick and michonne to show up plus that just undermines everything they’ve set up
Carol took hornsby’s job Daryl said
The finale had me crying on and off all day (I watched it the next day). I just had such a connection to these characters since I was a teenager, and to know this cornerstone of my life officially ended was like experiencing the death of a close friend.
"Can we talk about this?" 😂😂
You missed Daryl saying about the blood transfusion that he has the blood you can give anyone same as me. Easter egg recalling daddy as Judith says and Carl being shot. Rick did all that for Carl when he got shot when he was small.
Thank you guys I’ve loved your series feels like we have all been on that journey together.
Carol took lance’s job
Chandler Riggs was in Alexandria. He's behind Maggie when she's sat on the bench. He's in his own clothes BUT he's wearing a hat as a disguise
Absolutely. Phenomenal.
So many shows fail their finale and TWD didn’t. Even with some nitpicks. You win play can’t ask for better than that. Bravo!
They wrapped this up so damn good. RIP Rosita
Did you know that Chandler Riggs aka Carl was in The final scene at the Hilltop when Maggie was telling Daryl and Carol, "I want to talk about the future. He was in the background as a Hilltopper farming
It was an Easter egg to the prison scene when Rick tells Carl that he will need a farmers hat because the campaign he was wearing would get in the way. It was great!
I really enjoyed this finale and I can’t wait for the spin-off’s next year.
I laughed at myself during that blood transfusion scene because I can watch walkers tear someone apart but I had to look away when I saw that needle going into Daryl’s arm 😅
SAME!!! 😂
Same I hate needles 😂
When Rosita said ‘because I’m still right here’ that was heartbreaking
I really loved the finale and how they wrapped up "The Walking Dead" so much.
The series was always about our ever growing family trying to stay alive and find themselves a safe home to live. And they did that in the end by saving The Commonwealth, having our guys taking on key roles in it's future running, and finally giving Carol, Ezekiel, Judith, R.J., Eugene, Gabriel, Aaron, Gracie, Lydia, Elijah, Jerry, Nabila, Connie, Kelly, Magna, Yumiko, Tomi, Annie, Mercer, Princess, Max, and Coco/Rosie a safe place to live out their days in their forever homes.
Well also setting up the departures of Daryl | Maggie and Negan for their spin-off's as well as the reuniting of Rick & Michonne in their spin-off.
In a interview Angela Kang said they choose to have one major death instead of endless deaths because it felt more sad and emotional rather then making it just be for shock and awe sake. They wanted the characters to all to feel one last major death of their family.
Fun fact Christian Serratos who played Rosita Espinosa volunteered herself to Angela to be the major death, that was actually intended for another character ( Carol ? ) because she felt she wanted final closer for Rosita and from TWD Universe.
For anyone who hasn't yet watched the "Talking Dead" after show I highly suggest you checkout the hour and a half special ( with 40 cast and crew ) asap as there were so many little inside nuggets of info and cast reunion moments you don't want to miss having seen.
Gutted you guys missed the Mearl reference during the blood transfusion
Yeah we heard it.
@@NocBroNation Gonna miss your reactions during the wait for the spin off. Found myself constantly checking to see if you’d uploaded the final reaction. Thank you guys for the continuously awesome videos!💙
Danai and Andy were very adamant about not coming back to save the day when they were asked to come for the finale. They wanted their part to be minor so people can focus on the characters that have been there since they left.
In my opinion the episode was fantastic..
The commonwealth arc was wrapped up nicely, along with the deaths and the characters we might not see again.
Many nice little callbacks.. Like in the hospital with Daryl and Jude.
The Variant with the Rock!
Gabe stepping up and going to open the gates to save the people from being eaten alive (unlike his congregation).
Daryl getting the speech was perfect.. Like you said, the way it was said and the speech itself was very fitting to his character. But also if you look back at S5 when Rick gives the "we are the walking dead" speech, Daryl responds with "we ain't them"
So I think it was great they gave the line to him.
The Rick and Michonne dialogue and montage was a really nice addition.
And the new Rick and Michonne shots were good, it gave us Rick and patches some holes 10x13 left.
As much as it's sad we can't get more, I completely understand..
They don't want to run the risk of tarnishing the spinoff.
Danai and Andy also said they didn't want to overshadow everything else.
So it is what it is..
Not everyone's going to like it or like the episode, but that's fine! Everyone's entitled to an opinion.
I thought it was great overall, and I look forward to the future of TWD and your reactions!
I dont know just be grateful that Andrew Lincoln Andrew Danai Gurira made An appearance in the last episode, This is what happens when you write a story line in youre head you are bound to end up disappointed, i for one loved This last episode what a rollercoaster of emotions, Thank You Walking Dead for last 12yrs❤
Absolutely!
Rosita Espinosa forever❤ what a death for the finale!
finale was amazing in every way
french fans here ;) thanks for the reaction i really enjoyed it
I am actually glad they didn't show Rick and Michonne return to Alexandria, even though I initially hoped they would. They have saved that for the Rick and Michonne show next year and that makes it so much better to look forward to. Well as long as it gets shown in the UK anyway!. I just loved the final episode. Such exciting scenes, sad scenes, hard to watch scenes, but bittersweet peaceful scenes to end with. Somehow life seems a bit empty now.........
"Mom's gonna find dad and we're gonna be together, we're all gonna be together" 🥺 (Daryl's face) 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
What happen to Negan’s wife? Did she have the baby? What happen to Oceanside?
I knew what happened to Oceanside the second Hornsby showed up there, it shouldn't need spelling out, was just fine the way they did it.
@@PhoenixReturns not sure. The commonwealth took over Oceanside like they did Alexander. They didn’t kill anyone at Alexander, So it will be nice who still there and who took over running it after a year went by.
@@TheTechguy40 nah, he went there to kill them all, only Luke and his gf got out.
@@PhoenixReturns they escape. Luke said the commonwealth took over and it was turn into an outpost. So the Oceanside people could be there still under the commonwealth control. Just like Alexander was.
The writers did all they could do. If they give us a reunion then we know how their story concludes, this way we got them in the finale, just what we wanted but only now we have a promise of a story. Hats of to the writers because this could have been a GOT or Seinfeld situation and the did right by us the fans
the part with the walker smashing the window with the rock was a throwback to season 1 when the group were in the store and they had to escape in the truck
Carol has Hornsby position
It did say what Carol was doing. Daryl said "you took Hornsby's job and made it your own" or something like that. So she's obviously settled for a Government job.
The scene where Rosita told Eugene that she got bit was the best piece of acting that I have seen from Christian Serratos. Simply amazing job!
That's exactly what my brother and I said. That shit was off the charts! My brother even thinks it was one of the 5 best scenes of the entire show.
BTW, Josh was brilliant there as well...the way he kept trying to get it out of her...Damn, that was so good!
you guys were scared we wouldn’t get a return, and we did, and you were still not satisfied?😔sheesh, tough
For real , tough audience
Absolutely stellar finale. Nitpicks here and there but who cares when it’s otherwise so good??? 99% of shows bungle the finale. TWD nailed it. WHAT A RIDE!
Personally, I felt this was a pretty good finale that wrapped up not only the major storyline but also a majority of the character arcs. Yes, some were left open-ended due to the spin-offs but I think they did a good enough job to still at least give us some sense of closure.
I think the variant Walker with the knife got onto the vehicle that crashed prior to Mercer being arrested
Thank you for the content over the years NocBro Nation! Gonna be weird not seeing you guys react to the main show anymore, but at least we got some more spin offs on the way.
It was a good ending for the main show. Of course, the true ending will be a reunion between Rick and his family which we’ll have to wait for until next year. I hope Judith and Rick Jr. are included because it would be a crime if they weren’t.
The flippin relevance of Cult Of Personality, being playin in the episode, when it was a Master Mind move. Fit perfectly.
Apparently, Andrew and Danai didn’t want Rick and Michonne to just turn up and save the day. They felt it would undermine the hard work all of the other actors/writers etc had been doing on the show in the final seasons since they left, they were very adamant about it. Also, if they showed up, it would negate the need for the spin-off, as they would already be back. Kinda defeats the point! I love that we got them and it gave us some interesting tidbits of what happened and what’s to come. I can’t wait for the spin-offs, I just hope Scott GIMPle doesn’t ruin them like he has Fear and the other spin-offs.
Good last dance lol
I think Daryl is going out in the world as a ranger (like his job has been for basically every community) but not necessarily just to look for Rick, he said “if I find them when I’m out there I’ll bring them back” I took that as meaning he’s aware they’re out there but it’s not his mission - we’ll see!
Yes, this was my exact thought. I see a lot of people thinking he’s going to search for Richonne specifically but I’m like “Maggie JUST said” lol
@@fallgirl07 what did Maggie say I missed that
@@orlog3343 “There’s a lot out there to find out about. And it think it’s time we did.” Just that part. I completely agree with you that Darryl is out there primarily to scout and will just keep an eye out for signs of Rick and Michonne. I just think other people missed what Maggie said and think he’s out there just to look for them.
I believe when he said “I’ll bring them back” he meant Rick and Michonne because he was talking to Judith after she told them Michonne went looking for Rick bc he is still alive! Well said though! It was a great episode!
@@bambamsboys7394 yes that’s what he meant! But it’s not clear if he’s leaving only to look for them or something else as well
I can't wait to see the spinoff of Daryl Dixon and the other one with Michonne and Rick
You guys are great. This was a really fun reaction. As to your disappointment about Rick & Michone not being back with their old friends/family? That's just too easy. There's no way that was ever gonna happen. Hopefully, by the end of their yes, MINI-series (confirmed, unless it's a huge hit or something), they will find their way home and that's when we get our reunion.
I felt Eugene’s pain when he was talking to Rosita. It reminded me of the last conversation I had with my mother before she passed.
Yeah kinda reminded me of the last time I saw my grandma alive in her bed.. she had cancer and took my hand and kissed it not even 15 minutes before she passed as we was all visiting her saying goodbye
@@joeyphillips1181 thank you for sharing Joey. I lost my mother when I was eight years old I’m going on 48 now. I thought that I had gotten over this but that scene took me right back to that time in my life.
when i see ricks memory of the dead it makes me cry
Ok so my predictions: Now we know that Rick was working as a grunt at an isolated CRM location, maybe the CRM home base city. He was going to escape by taking that boat but got caught & tossed his stuff in the boat. I am 100% sure that the phone with its drawing was not made by rick but by Jadis. Jadis is the artists on the show and knew what Judith looked like at that point in her life. That means that Rick & Jadis talk & at some point she gives him the phone. We know from World Beyond show that Jadis was at the CRM base city several times & probably has visited Rick more than once.
That message on the phone in Mandarin?? I bet is the name of the city Rick is located. By writing the name in a foreign language no one would know what it says and take it away from Rick. Remember the CRM are super secretive and its possible Rick did not even know the City's name until the point he starts to try his escapes. Maybe Jadis is the one who tells Rick the city name.
I also suspect that the happy ending we see for the main show will not last plot wise. At some point the CRM will get around to seeing what happened with the commonwealth and maybe it, or Hilltop/Alexandria are attacked and people taken. THs is what leads Maggie and Negan to go on a search for Hershel & his wife who are among the taken.
Basically I've just spent ages writing the same things! Well said. There is a saying on the phone in Japanese. Something about waiting and patience and it'll be worth it. I am sure that Jadis did that to keep hope alive for Rick then when he escapes she's grassed him up because she basically says that at the end of the WB. Well thought out answers DB.
Right on point
25:05 Josh's "come on man" hahaha
I feel it. That was a rough moment
How everyone always talks about how Rosita jumping to the pipe is unrealistic but Judith holding back a walker it's perfectly fine
Right?? There are zombies everywhere. It's OK to suspend your logic.
Daryl's 'reaction' to Rick being alive was so anticlimactic 😡
Carol took over Lance's job
Yes it's mad how they miss so many things. They are huge fans like us but they miss things and question it and the answer is often there. We all do it.
27:52 when Daryl started talking I knew it was coming, so when he said "we ain't the walking dead" I was VERY happy! I posted my reaction on TH-cam, which is something I never do!
