    Protect your loved ones, at all costs

    This was a brilliant episode of 'The Walking Dead'. Not only the best of the season so far, but easily one of the best of the series. We finally find out the cause of the X scars, and why Michonne seemingly hardened during the time jump. The change in her character, from drafting charters to unify the communities, to reacting with hostility to newcomers and distancing Alexandria from the other communities, didn't make sense to TWD fans nor seem reasonable. But after last night's episode, her behaviour has been completely understandable, and we stand with her.

    Michonne is one of the strongest characters on TWD (alongside Daryl and Carol). After being knocked out, branded, sliced in the stomach, badly beaten with a wooden plank (all whilst heavily pregnant), she was still able to save all the Alexandria children. Whilst the circumstances were extremely dark, Michonne once again proved why she is a BOSS! We already knew that Danai Gurira is a fantastic actress, and she really shines in this episode. The range of emotions that she exhibits in that one particular scene (you know the one I mean) is breathtaking. Hats off the actress who plays Judith as well! The 'when did we stop loving the others' scene was heart wrenching; I can't be the only one who teared up? Someone on Twitter summed this up perfectly: Judith has become the voice of reason to Michonne, just as Michonne was to Rick. The circle of life huh!

    'Children of the Corn', 'Village of the Damned', and now this... If we ever find ourselves in the apocalypse or a dystopian world, we probably should keep a close eye on the children.

    Eye Opener:

    Intrinsic episode filled with its lows and highs with points that contained slow scenes, however it really resonates what a compassionate warrior Michonne is, so its a great 'homage' to Danais' character. Portrays and clarifies abit more that between then and now... life for them still had drama!

    1 star reviews? Please go away already!

    Seriously, why bother with a show if you think it's only a one star show? Clearly the majority of us love it and are very impressed with the direction it's taking. Go watch Fuller House or something. Just go away!

    Damn... What a crazy episode, where to begin.

    It was a very intense episode, it really shows how wild the world can be out there. This whole plot of Jocelyn, It was magnificent, it shows how someone who seems so helpless and kind can turn out to be a complete beast. This episode deepens lot in Michonne, and does it in a spectacular way.

    Intense and disturbing ..superbly acted

    That was one Intense and shocking episode! right up there with that unforgettable negan and the bat scene ...Danai Gurira knocked it Out of the park in this one and so did little judith...what a powerhouse episode! and i said in my last review that this show was going down the toilet and needed change...fast. The directing in this episode was 1st class as was the writing..There was THE Scene, you will know when it comes, that was edited yet let ur imagination fill in the blanks in a way that still came across as Horribly shocking, even for a show that deals with zombies and the lowest form of humanity on a weekly basis...IF they had shown this particular scene, WITHOUT the creative editing, it would likely have been called Over the line and TOO Much by viewers..so with the edits, you get the full knowledge of what happened ,Without having to cross That line...that is superb directing and editing... This is one of the 1st episodes i have NOT fastforwarded thru in a very long time, it was riveting throughout.. The expressions on her face and the internal feelings that danai summons for THAT scene will stay with you After the show ends...Powerful Episode!!!
