    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Greg Nicotero has explained that this episode includes footage from the original pilot. At the end of the scene where Rick is in Atlanta, the camera hadn't been turned off until eight seconds after the direct called "cut." Digital effects then inserted Andrew Lincoln coming around the bus.
    • Goofs
      As a career US Army Engineer whose expertise was the construction and demolition of bridges, its obvious that there would be no need for dynamite on this construction site since the only two uses for explosives would be to prepare abutments (which were still intact) or felling trees for land clearing or lumber. Land clearing isn't necessary on an existing bridge site and if needed for timber acquisition, the explosives wouldn't be needed anywhere near the bridge site.

    A LEGENDARY SEND-OFF!

    God damn this episode was an emotional Rollercoaster and one of the greatest episodes of the entire show! Everything was perfect! The themes of life, sacrifice and forgiving yourself, was perfectly captured!

    Rick Grimes was always the face of the show! That means this episode worked as incredible character development for him as well as a painfully tense and emotional journey that I dont think I will ever fully recover from!

    This was the most i have cried since S7 E1! It was beatifull, creative and above all..faithfull love-letter to the character

    This was The Walking Dead at its best, and the masterpiece it desperately needed!
