Well, what would happen then? The rest of the Saviors wouldn’t have just run to hide while Negan writhes in agony. Let’s imagine Negan kills Maggie, and Rick absolutely refuses to submit any longer, promptly finding a knife hidden on Negan’s belt, used to severely stabs Negan’s leg. Let’s say Negan ultimately dispatches most of them, and Rick realizes that Negan will do the same to him. It’s fairly easy to imagine ways the scene could play out. Rick’s group is in a position of weakness with Negan, all but begging him to shoot them in the head so they will not suffer. Obviously, if you are a Walking Dead fan who’s followed from the beginning, you already know how Negan’s act plays out. Just for fun (kind of): Alternate scenarios Interestingly, even though Norman Reedus does appear as Daryl and does a fine job, this is yet another season 6 episode that’s not Daryl-centric, as he is even less able to act than Rick. The only hope is that Negan, somehow, might have it in his heart to look past the atrocities Rick’s group had committed (and, let’s be real, they were atrocities, even if The Saviors are themselves unscrupulous). Meanwhile, we know Carol is too shot up and that Morgan must tend to her wounds, assuming he wants her to survive at all (and surely he does). Obviously, Glenn is there with him (and, of course, this would be one of Steven Yeun’s last appearances on the series). There would be no Glenn to help him out of it (as he helped Rick out of that army tank in season 1).
THE WALKING DEAD LAST DAY ON EARTH SERIES
Who could blame him, really? However, this is truly the first episode of the series where it seems no one would come to the rescue. There are also moments in The Walking Dead where Rick hallucinates about his deceased wife, and there’s a sense that he’s still somewhat traumatized by some things he has done (such as killing Shane, who had been one of his best friends).īy this point in the series, Rick no doubt feels he has earned respect, even if merely because he’s survived so much. In fact, he had reason to fear he would remain absolutely alone, aside from all the walkers attempting to make him their lunch. Remember that, in the first episode of The Walking Dead, Rick is in a coma, awakening in an absolute hellscape in the hospital.
This episode reminds us that, even though Rick is one tough cookie, he can still crumble. The Walking Dead and Rick’s powerlessness Obviously, one of Rick’s crew will have to pay the ultimate price. Predictably, he introduces himself to Rick’s group in a rather brutal fashion, saying that he is in charge now. But Negan (played brilliantly by Jeffrey Dean Morgan) arrives to flex his power as ostentatiously as a white limousine. As in the real world, so many of these people’s problems are practically invented out of thin air. The story also reveals the folly of those who kept the communities (such as Alexandria or the Saviors) separate. It never appears that Morgan can safely get on his horse to flee to glory. Carol is injured, there are walkers nearby, and Morgan is forced to break his promise not to kill when he shoots Roman, a Savior driven to vengeance. However, even that moment is less than ideal. Granted, there are little sprinkles of hope here and there, such as when Morgan discovers Carol. “Last Day on Earth,” the season 6 finale of AMC’s The Walking Dead, sure seems to live up to its title.
