Haters, please, go away, the walking dead is getting better and you don't accept it. The episode reflects the good writing and creativity that angela kang brought, which had been lost since the seventh season. The previous episode ended with Rick falling from the horse on a rock and being pierced by a metal while a horde approaches him. Before talking about the episode, I want to praise the great effort you put into the episode. The direction, the assembly, the soundtrack, the performances, the writing and the creativity, were excellent and one of the best. I loved how the episode opened, with Rick in the hospital and then escaping the horde. I loved the maggie part, both michonne and maggie were amazing and the actresses got a great performance. Seeing Maggie and denying face to face, my mind exploded and the landscape between them was very emotional and made me feel sorry for denying it. Rick's hallucinations were a spectacular idea. Shane's part was quite funny and very nostalgic. The actors have very good chemistry between them and the conversation is fluid and very entertaining. Hershel's part was one of the most emotional scenes of the episode. Hershel was very important to Rick, he was the one who taught him and Rick is still fighting for him. Scott Wilson gave us something incredible and may he rest in peace. Sasha's part was the deepest in terms of dialogue and the setting is incredible, some of the comic they used to perfection. A scene that I loved was when Rick is on the bridge and is saved, something Hollywood and very well inserted, since we all thought that Rick was going to die but with that scene we were all relieved. Of course all of that was a hallucination. Rick is lost, see that the bridge does not break. Here the episode reaches climax and one of the best scenes of the series. Dryl and the others arrive to help Rick. this scene full of tension, very well accompanied by a soundtrack and a phenomenal direction. All the characters giving everything, the fear they feel for losing Rick, the performances are phenomenal. seeing michonne screaming rick broke my heart. And all this accumulated tension ends when Rick points his gun at some explosives and says his last sentence: I found them. And the whole bridge explodes. The river running represents my crying, and seeing all the characters suffering, crying, because they lost their leader, someone who fought for them and they fought for him, someone who gave everything for his family to be alive. but, jadis sees Rick and decides to take him on the helicopter and the scene ends with the same song as the first episode. then we jumped six years with the magna group being saved by judith, judith grimes.

Goodbye Rick Grimes, the best character in the series, with everything started, seeing his growth as the new world affected him and how he tried to save his family at all costs is something beautiful.
