    walking dead at its best

    the walking dead returns with a bang. Last years premiere was one of the best episodes in TV history. This one beats last years by a small margin. the character development in this episode is amazing. Andrew Lincoln puts on a Emmy worthy performance in this episode . His performance is top notch and he and Melissa McBride deserve a lot for their incredible acting. The flashbacks were kind of annoying but were very important to the story. So i give acting 10/10 writing 9/10. Their were a lot of funny dialog's between characters. Overall this was another episode that shows why this show is such a big success and i have high hopes for this season. Ps: a very big cliffhanger that you'll want the next episode right away

    An even more thrilling comeback .. with a new sub-story.,. already making us more excited about what to come in this Apocalypse :D

    Just when you think a Zombie show with long five seasons couldn't get any more exciting .,. they hit you with this amazing premiere ..

    Gosh i can't believe how these writers can even overcome the rush and thrill in the past episodes .. A new "First Time" .. why not !! i mean the theme song didn't start yet and i was on the edge of my seat thinking what is their plan for this amount of flesh eating creatures ;) then a little slow down by a look back on how we got here in black and white (i don't think black and white was a perfect idea but it happened) ... then Shoot .. back to thrill .. i really couldn't relax and set straight for whole minute :D as the story now will probably move outside of the "safe community".

    The cast are Pro's after six years now .. won't mention them by name but a wowzer performance upping their last one every season with being more engaging, more genuine ,, a couple of new characters "with lines" .. i'd like to more of Rick/Morgan dual .

    and at the end of this episode another shocking unknown surprise to come .. WoW . .. Overall .. it looks as always promising and full of thrill and suspense which would assure to make me hooked and eager for more episodes and seasons to come ;)

    The Horn

    Rick and the survivors find a quarry with thousand of walkers blocked by heavy trucks and he plans how to take them far from their community. Rick is supported by Deanna but the reluctant Carter unsuccessfully plots a scheme against him. While training the group, one of the trucks falls off the cliff letting the walkers to escape and the plan needs to be immediately put into action without training. Daryl on his motorcycle and Tara and Abraham in a car herd the walkers through the road to a distant point far from Alexandria. Will Rick's plan work as planned?

    "First Time Again" is an episode with a confused beginning since the explanation is in black and white flashbacks. The partnership of Rick and Morgan is promising and I hope he stays with the survivors. My guess is that Ron Anderson sounded on the horn. My vote is eight.

    Title (Brazil): "First Time Again"

    Note: On 22 April 2016, I saw this show again.

    The episode is notable for its unique structure, which alternates between present-day events and flashbacks to the immediate aftermath of the group's arrival in Alexandria

    Following the night of Reg's and Pete's deaths, Rick's group slowly takes over Alexandria. Morgan helps take Pete's body to the woods. Pete's son Ron following them, wanting to know where his father's body will be. They discover a quarry where a large herd of walkers are being held. Deducing it as the reason Alexandria is still standing, Ricks calls a town meeting to get everyone to help lead the Walkers away despite protests from Carter who later fails at an attempt to overthrow Rick.

    As the practice run is prepped, the truck blocking the walkers in the quarry falls of the edge allows the megaherd to escape. Rick initiates the plan and everyone goes to their places. Along the way, Carter is bit and Rick puts him down to keep him from screaming. During the run, a truck crashes into the gates of Alexandria with its horn continuously blasting noise, attracting the walkers.

    The season premiere of "The Walking Dead" Season 6, titled "First Time Again," is a high-octane episode that immediately thrusts viewers back into the post-apocalyptic world. The episode picks up shortly after the events of the Season 5 finale, with Rick and the group trying to rebuild their community in Alexandria. However, tensions are high as a massive herd of walkers threatens to overrun the community. To deal with the threat, Rick comes up with a risky plan that involves leading the herd away from Alexandria using a diversion.

    The episode is notable for its unique structure, which alternates between present-day events and flashbacks to the immediate aftermath of the group's arrival in Alexandria. This storytelling device adds depth to the characters and provides context for their actions in the present. One of the most memorable scenes in the episode is the elaborate plan to lead the herd away, which involves using cars to create a barrier and explosives to redirect the walkers. This scene is a testament to the group's resourcefulness and ability to adapt to the challenges they face.

    Additionally, the episode explores themes of leadership and sacrifice, as Rick must make difficult decisions to protect his people and ensure their survival. Overall, "First Time Again" is a gripping season premiere that sets the stage for the intense drama and conflicts that will unfold throughout the rest of the season.

    Do you have ANY IDEA, who you're talking to?

    The single greatest line in this episode!

    This was a great way to start season 6! While not as good as yhe legendary season 5 premiere, this was still a great time, that build off from where season 5 ended while also setting up the next conflict right from the beginning!

    The first scene was really good! An intense start! The amount of Walkers remined me of "The army of the dead" from GOT!

    From there it jobs back and forth between past and present to give us an idea of how things went from the season 5 finale..and now!

    Rick was by far the one who stole the show! After all this development and build-up.. Rick manages to become what he fought against in earlier seasons!

    This is why Shane was ahead of his time..cause now...Rick is becoming more like him!

    I also enjoyed the scenes with Rick and Morgan!

    • Trivia
      When Season 6 was announced by AMC, the producers of The Walking Dead (2010) claimed that they had ideas and developed a few of them ready for the show to make it to Season 12.
    • Goofs
      When Rick had Carter on his hands and knees and decides not to kill him, you can hear the sound of a hammer being decocked. The gun he is holding is a Glock, which is striker fired and therefore has no hammer to make that sound.

      [first lines]

      Morgan Jones: [in a flashback, Rick shoots Pete] Rick?

      Rick Grimes: [in the present, Rick gets ready to lead the group into moving the herd of walkers] I know this sounds insane, but this is an insane world. We have to come for them before they come for us. It's that simple.
