Warlords

As expected, this is how Commonwealth operates. What a great episode.

It felt like it lasted only for 10 minutes. Time just flew by. You're so screwed now, Lance.

One of the best episodes on this season finally they back into track , I liked everything about this episode , I didn't feel the time it was like 15min !!!!!! I can't wait for the next episode .....

This episode is filled with unexpected twists and pretty interesting action. Overall another great episode. I'm really enjoying the final season so far.

This episode pretty much flew by so fast I thought it was only 20 minutes!

New plot lines and stories are unveil here and it seems like the show got a new governor with a pretty good actor.

This episode had a pretty good mixed chronological order that jumped between the event, but it kinda got goofy tho because we got "A Week Ago" inside another "A Week Ago" and basically a new "some times before and after" every 8 minutes.

We get a look at what Commonwealth, or rather Hornsby is doing "behind the curtains" and it pretty much confirms what character Hornsby is and what his intentions are, as it was still kinda uncertain as what he truly was before.

I'm glad we're seeing Aaron and Gabriel together again since the last season and Aaron gets the more screen time he deserves too and they're both great in this episode.

A character that left us some time ago comes back and we don't know yet how he got entangled with these people but I hope we at least a get a short flashback about it.

Anyway this episode's focal point was the new maniac and I think they picked a really good actor for it and he has the face for it too.

All in all, this episode was really unpredictable and tense at times, and it gives a better idea of how the rest of the show - at least till episode 16 - is gonna go.

Lydia is leaving Hilltop to join the Commonwealth, and say goodbye to Elijah and Marco, who are guarding the community. Out of the blue, they see a man riding a horse towards Hilltop. They ask him to stop, but the man is wounded with a shot, falls off the horse and gives a map to Lydia telling her that his people was slaughtered. Maggie, Lydia and Eliajah head to the location and stumble upon three zombie troopers. Then they see Aaron, who tells them what happened one week ago. He and Gabriel were recruited by their boss, Carlson, to go with the young Jess to invite a community to join Commonwealth. Although Aaron and Gabriel refuse to go, Carlson says that there is no deal and they must go. Soon they are invited to meet their leader, Ian, who seems to be a dangerous man and tells them that they should leave, since his group is not interested in joining Commonwealth. Out of the blue, Carlson subdues Ian and kills everyone in the room except Aason, Gabriel and Jess, surprising the survivors.

"Warlords" is a great episode of "The Walking Dead", where "bad apples" from Commonwealth are disclosed. The hidden agenda of Hornsby and Carlson, not telling the truth to Aaron and Gabriel, is disgusting. Their real intention with the community, using Aaron and Gabriel to open their doors, is Machiavellian. Carlson seems to be in the same level of Negan, Maggie, Leah and other cold blood killers that we saw along the series. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Os Senhores da Guerra" ("The Warlords")
