Best promotion: We’ve spent far too long waiting for Rosita to show off a skill other than impressive sass. Clearly they haven’t seen her work.
It’s been a tough season for everyone, characters and viewers alike. Mostly because it meant the show was over, and I got to savor the longest possible stretch of time before the next episode of The Walking Dead. Attention if you have not seen “Rock in the Road”, this article will contain spoilers! His answer was somewhat surprising, given the dark violence that’s blanketed the past eight episodes of the series.
What did you think about tonight’s new episode?
So where could we be seeing the show go from here with Rick smiling, and getting set to collide into a whole new group of people?
Those trip wires were put up by the Saviors to deter a hoard of walkers from attacking a community, either the Kingdom (which Rick and company had just left) or the Saviors’ sanctuary which Rick and co. could see in the distance. That’s still not enough people though.

The episode’s best scene occurred as the group traveling back to Alexandria came across a blockade of cars rigged with a line of explosives that they proceeded to steal as a horde of zombies quickly approached.
