[center]What Comes After
Episode 5
10 Stars out of 10
[/center]
Yeah, I'm still watching TWD, even though I haven't been
creating any threads for the show for the past few years. But
this episode in particular, I definitely needed to talk about
what the f*ck I just witness in what is dubbed 'Rick Grimes
Final Episode'. I had no idea what was to come at the end. Two
MAJOR things that happened basically has reset the entire TWD
Universe. But before we go there, I want to talk about the the
episode as a whole. It was F*CKING PHENOMENAL! Everyone has
emmy-worthy performances (Lauren Cohan, Danai Gurira, Jeffrey
Dean Morgan) left me speechless with their performances.
AMAZING! But it was Andrew Lincoln that steals the show here.
The way the entire episode was constructed was fantastic.
Edge-of-you-seat suspense that I just could not shake. With Rick
in the throes of a Fever Dream, we are able to bring back
fan-favorite characters such as Shane, Herschel, Sasha). Seeing
Scott Wilson return as Herschel left me speechless because Scott
passed away and I wasn't expecting to see him at all, which made
his return all the more sweet.
So, everything is leading to the Bridge with a horde of Walkers
closing in on a Rick who is bleeding out from the events of the
previous episode. It's up to Rick for his final stand to protect
his family and what a way to go out. Having him shoot at the
stick of dynamite and blowing up the bridge to take them all
out, giving his life in the process felt right and the only way
for him to go. My biggest fear and the one that I dreaded was
having the character getting mauled and turning into a Walker,
which never would have felt right. So, he goes out in a blaze of
glory.....
.......not so fast. The final scene before the Epilogue has Anne
/ Jadis finding Rick and whisking him off in a Helicopter to God
knows where. So, at the end of the day, he is alive....but gone.
The second WTF moment comes in the Epilogue which is a major
time-jump for the characters with "Kid Judith Grimes" now (I'm
guessing here) 5-6 years old, packing heat and saving survivors
from their own run in with Walkers. Like I said, the TWD
Universe has been complete reset and now anything....and
everything can happen with their stories.
Now, for Talking Dead, Scott Gimple (Executive Producer on the
show) said that Rick Grimes story is not finish and that they
(AMC) have plans for feature length feature films for the
character. He was a bit coy in divulging too much detail, but
from what I heard, there is more on the way. How it ties into
TWD....we will just have to wait and see. Now one thing I took
from this is that Scott said 'Rick Grimes' will
continue.....nothing was said of Andrew returning, which I don't
see happening.

Well, it looks like Andrew will in fact be reprising his role as
Rick Grimes.
