Aunque no soy fan de los episodios botellas, porque casi nunca aprovechan la oportunidad de tener poco cast para lograr un gran desarrollo. twd previamente nos mostro que estos episodio pueden ser geniales, como after, the grove, jss, thak you, etc. este episodio se centra en el reino. puntos buenos: las muertes fueron increibles, manejaron muy bien y sirvieron para aumentar la locura de morgan. lennie james hizo un trabajo increible. las mejores escenas son cuando morgan empieza a alucinar y la muerte de richard. este ultimo tuvo un desenlace muy bueno y satisfactorio. la guerra va a empezar. puntos malos: el personaje de carol tuvo un desarrollo bastante pobre, la idea era buena pero no la desarrollaron y nunca se mostro algun cambio importante en el personaje ni explicaciones de ese cambio de personalidad.
although I am not a fan of the episodes bottles, because they almost never take the opportunity to have little cast to achieve a great development. Twd previously showed us that these episodes can be great, like after, the grove, jss, thak you, etc. This episode focuses on the kingdom. good points: the deaths were incredible, they handled very well and served to increase the madness of morgan. Lennie James did an amazing job. The best scenes are when Morgan begins to hallucinate and Richard's death. The latter had a very good and satisfactory outcome. The war is going to start. bad points: the character of Carol had a very poor development, the idea was good but they did not develop it and never showed any important change in the character or explanations of that personality change.

Not an episode to bury
TheLittleSongbird17 May 2021
Far from it, actually feel it is the complete opposite. It is a slower paced and more intimate episode than the tension filled, pull no punches approach that a lot of episodes of 'The Walking Dead' adopt, but that doesn't mean that that is immediately a bad thing depending on how it's done. Am not always a fan of the filler episodes, again though depending on the content being interesting and whether it advances anything that happened previously. As far as these type of episodes go, "Bury Me Here" is better than most.
"Bury Me Here" may not progress previous events further and instead introduces new ones. It does however succeed in advancing the character development of the characters focused upon, in this case Morgan and Carol, and giving the characters' mojos back that was missing in most previous Season 7 episodes. "Bury Me Here", along with "Rock in the Road" to me is easily one of the better episodes of what was an underwhelming season and one of the most interesting characterisation-wise. While it may not be for everyone, it is not a 1/10 episode. Lennie James' performance (and Melissa McBride's) and Morgan's character development, as well as the emotional impact, are enough to give it a 4 at least. At the same time it to me is not perfect enough to receive the highest possible score.
There are times where it is a little too slow and aimless, with it taking time to get going.
It is also one of those episodes where what the viewer expects to happen actually does happen, meaning that it is somewhat low on the surprise factor.
However, "Bury Me Here" is beautifully and atmospherically filmed, while the scoring is not too intrusive while having presence and the direction is sympathetic without being lethargic. The script is thought-provoking without being too flowery or overly-talky (although the episode is talk-heavy, not unusual for 'The Walking Dead'), is subtle and has pathos without being over-sentimental. Although it may not advance past events, the story more than makes up for it with its emotional impact, which is genuinely poignant in especially the portrayal of Morgan's conflict, and the subtle tension that builds.
Absolutely loved the character development given to Morgan and Carol, Morgan's character writing is some of his most powerful and complex and adds so much to his character. Carol is the most interesting and consistently written she's been in a while where motivations are more decisive and make sense. McBride is affecting as Carol but James makes "Bury Me Here" well worth watching, tremendously moving and perhaps the best acting turns of all the season's episodes (well it is a contender).
Overall, well worth watching and one of Season 7's best. 8/10.

From Stick to Spear
ThomasDrufke12 March 2017
Aside from the fact that it took another full episode for Ezekiel to come to grips with the fact that they need to fight the Saviors, tonight's episode worked really well for me. Occasional zombie action with plenty of human drama made for an eventful trip to The Kingdom.
I didn't agree with Ezekiel's decision at the time to not join Alexandria, but I understood that it would take a little more motivation for him. I figured Benjamin's death would be the one to put him over the edge, and I was right. Only, I did not expect Richard to be the one to stage the death and consequently die at the hands of Morgan. That was certainly a welcomed unexpected twist. Even though his plans for Carol a few episodes ago and his plan tonight that got him killed were deeply flawed, I thought Karl Makinen did some really nice work here. His back and forth with Lennie James' Morgan was easily the highlight of the night.
Speaking of which, I love when Morgan has moments of desperation. James is so good in the role that he can make walking down an abandoned road and kicking a crate seem devastating. The character has been frustratingly subdued in the past, but after tonight, I'm not sure there's any chance of going back for Morgan. Similarly, Carol seems to be returning to blood as well. It was only a matter of time before a life of solitude wasn't going to suit her and hearing what really happened to Glenn, Abraham, and company was the final straw. Am I the only one craving a scene between her and Negan?
So the episode as a whole was very self-contained, but it felt deservedly self-contained. Personally, it didn't feel filler, but I can see if people see it that way. The actual war isn't going to start until next season, so I've accepted that by now. This episode served as one more reminder as to what can happen when people aren't fully transparent with their allies. Richard paid the price for his plan, and I think we can assume the same will happen with Rosita & Sasha. Knowing The Walking Dead, Sasha will be the one to bite the bullet, not Rosita.
+Emotionally driven
+Love it when Morgan goes off
+Ezekiel agrees to fight
+Carol's back
-Richard's plans are so flawed

I can understand how difficult it would be to keep up with the series. I've been binge watching this last 6 weeks. It's truly a brilliant series. Even the episodes that aren't truly focused on the plot are great! Not many shows are as character driven these days. This was a big episode for Morgan, almost as big as the cheese maker episode.
Mt first review of this tremendous show
sotitox_lee2 June 2020
Warning: Spoilers
I love slow episodes like this. And I love the division between viewers, how some people don't like it because they just want to see action, zombies, guns and blades... But they won't ever appreciate these beautiful, haunting episodes that only few of us can value and treasure.
This was some sort of culmination for Morgan as well as Carol. Through Benjamin's death and the loss of "another son", Morgan was forced to kill and realise that, no matter how precious every life can be, killing in this world is something you unfortunately have to do and live with. There's no other way, if you want to survive in this world. In the other hand, Carol sort of returned the favor to Morgan by going to the Kingdom and decide to return to her badass-killing machine mode by realising she can't just forget the poeple she love and leave them behind, fighting for them is what matters over everything... And if she has to kill, she will. The ending scene beautifully depicts it all when Carol, after a long time, willingly approaches a boy to help him grow a plant with Ezekiel and, at the same time, Morgan sharpens his stick and prepares for the murderous battle to come.
It took a long time for them to join the battle, but the set up was nice and well paid-off in the end. Really excited to see what's coming.

When starting watching season 7 I had some fear it wouldn't be as good as previous seasons taking all negative reviews in account. So far I still don't get it. This was again a great episode focused on Morgan and the kingdom. It had tension and surprised, yes they are subtle and less action packed, but still these kind of episodes are so necessary to give the story depth and meaning.
Best bottle episode since "The Grove"
TouchTheGarlicProduction12 March 2017
I am not the first to note that this show has been made up of bottle episodes (episodes that follow only a single story-line) more often than not lately. The show has become notorious for it. This method of storytelling, particularly when combined with a slow pace, becomes irritating rather fast. This has led many people (myself included) to decry the show as boring and poorly paced. However, every once in a while, an episode comes along that uses the format very well, and manages to be riveting. The most famous example from this show is the highly acclaimed episode "The Grove". It earned much praise with its dark twists and focus on character. This episode is praiseworthy for the same reasons. Some of the twists were obvious to me, but the last one really shocked me. Karl Makinen delivers a fantastic performance here. Despite how little time he has had on screen, he has managed to develop a rich, fascinating character. This episode also pushes Morgan and Carol into new phases.
In conclusion, I think this is one of the best episodes of The Walking Dead to come along in a while. Some may call it "boring" for focusing on character and only taking place in one location, but these were among the things that really made this one work for me.

Bury Me Here
bobcobb30113 March 2017
This was the best performance from Morgan in some time. I don't really like the cast of characters in the Kingdom, but they told a good story here. We're seeing people pushed to the brink and it will hopefully lead to an explosive finale.
They need to pick a direction for Carol though. One second she's lifeless, the next she's a killing machine. It's not interesting writing it's lazy.

FINALLY. I have loved this show with all my heart since I saw the first episode, and until season 7, have very rarely found an episode I have not enjoyed with every bone in my body. Season 7 started well, but I do feel it has gone downhill, and although I have no disliked episodes this season, I haven't felt the same buzz as in previous seasons. Until now.
This episode may not have the show's favourites such as Rick, Daryl and Michonne in it, but I feel it is probably the best episode to date in which we have not seen the main cast. Benjamin's death was excellent although expected, and Morgan appears to have reverted back to his former self with a brutal killing of Richard (thank God, what an annoying plonker he was).
I also found it fairly heart-wrenching as Carol learned of Glenn and Abraham's deaths, it was like re-living it once more.
+ Acting was sensational from Morgan and great from Richard too
+ Richard's death scene
+ Carol is back and s++ts about to go down
+ The last episodes have been set up excellently
My rating is an 8.5/10

The Price of a Melon
claudio_carvalho13 March 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Carol asks Morgan what happened to Alexandria but he refuses to tell. In the Kingdom, Ezekiel and his group heads to a meeting with the Saviors to deliver twelve melons. However, the road is blocked with supermarket carts and while investigating, they find a grave with a paperboard tombstone written "Bury me here". They go to the encounter that is tense since they are late. When Gavin counts the melons, there are only eleven and he orders Jared to shoot someone. He shoots Benjamin that dies at Carol's home. Morgan is completely disturbed and unbalanced and while wandering outside the kingdom, he finds the missing melon. Soon he finds that Richard was the responsible that intended to be killed by the Saviors to start a war. Morgan asks Richard to tell Ezekiel what happened, but on the next encounter with the Saviors, Morgan learns that Richard did not tell Ezekiel. Morgan has a nervous breakdown and a surprising attitude.
"Bury Me Here" is an engaging episode of "The Walking Dead" where the lunatic Morgan unleashes his anger in the most unexpected moment and way. His reaction to Richard's attitude is understandable, but why didn't he also kill Jared, who shot Benjamin, and Gavin that gave the order? He also did not tell Carol what happened to her friends in Alexandria when she asked in the beginning of the show and now that is completely unbalanced, discloses everything. It is hard to understand why Ezekiel and his personnel like Carol. And now that Carol learns the truth about her former friends, she changes her pacific position 180o and decides that the Kingdom shall fight The Saviors. Inconsistent but shutdown the brain and let the show goes on. My vote is nine.

He's just a patheric ego idealist who thinks he can achieve for himself.

Best hour of television
reynoldsbritt13 March 2017
I have been watching Walking Dead from the beginning. It is a flawed show. Some episodes I question why I still watch. This episode has made all the suffering and questioning worth it. All the quiet character moments of both Carol and Morgan finally paid off. These were hard decisions that weren't made lightly by both characters. Seasons of buildup were all released within this hour. It was so beautiful to see. I have always wondered why Carol and Morgan were so linked across episodes and story arcs. Why pair them? They have lost the most, and have carried their pain for the longest. They have completely been transformed by their losses. They are no where near the type of people they used to be. They most likely will never attain any redemption or closure. Their path is not clear. I am excited for the impending war, especially any assault with Carol and/or Morgan would lead. This episode was perfectly crafted, from the music to the editing, it almost felt like I watching a different show.

Dear those unmarried keyboard critics, please stop with the hypocrisy and hate.
The Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 13 'Bury Me Here' - delivered various emotions from me as a viewer.
Benjamin's death was quite obviously foreshadowed from episode 2, and I think Carol even saw that just from the look she gave him in episode 9. He was a selfless, family loving male, which is a definite target for the show runner Scott M Gimple. Beautifully done, acting (IMO) was as good as it could be for such an inexperienced actor. Richard was less satisfying, and more shocking, and I believe that is how the show wants us to view Morgan. For so long, everyone has been hating him for not fighting, but as soon as he kills, the audience has a problem with it (hypocrisy). The acting was phenomenal in this episode, Lennie James was able to convince me that he was turning crazy, and Khary Payton played the part of a sorrowful father perfectly. I wish this didn't have to happen to the protagonists, but it had to. Something had to happen. And though this might seem boring, there is a reason for everything on TWD. Just wait until season 8, when everyone is dying and you wished they went back to slow episodes.
The writing was also strong in this episode, just wish we saw more brutally in Richard's death.

One of the best not-rick episodes
basmulder-5391714 March 2017
This was the walking dead. This is what we want to see when we turn on the TV every Sunday night. Especially Morgan stood out this episode, and while he is one of the most criticized characters last season, this was his comeback. A tense trade between the Kingdom and the Saviors becomes a problem causing multiple deaths and frustrated characters. The acting was great, especially the actors who played Morgan and Richard stood out for me. (Brilliant Speech from Richard) But also the saviors made this episode really tense and everything seems possible when they're on the screen. Great episode. This is how a bottle episode should be done. Only a conversation between someone from the Kingdom and Ezekiel in the beginning felt a little weird and wasn't necessary, but that was one scene.. so.. 9/10
"Glass & peace alike betray proof of fragility under repeated blows."
An_Irish_Guy13 March 2017
It is important for any TV show to make its audience feel something central during every episode, whether it be happiness, sadness, intrigue or even anger. When a TV show is truly well put together, it will make its audience, truly, feel several of these emotions over the course of one episode. Throughout most of season seven of The Walking Dead, episodes have failed greatly in making its audience feel anything towards its characters or its story, at all. Alas! now we have an episode that is reminiscent of everything we loved from a bygone age of Walking Dead episodes. Finally, characters portrayed depth again, conflicting emotions, accompanied by a story that kept us on our heels. Though the dialogue at the beginning of the episode was somewhat questionable, the episode quickly progresses into a well paced and intriguing episode featuring a poignant thought on the futility of peace during times of conflict. Without spoiling anything, this episode was an important one, not only for the overall story, but for us, the viewer, to restore faith that the show can continue its powerful, story telling ways.
Good for Morgan

Warning: Spoilers
This episode doesn't feature Rick or Michonne, but focuses on one of the lesser characters, Morgan. I feel bad for being a fan and yet not being able to recognize the names of the multitudes of characters they have. Well, I've forgotten a lot of pokemon too. Morgan is the priest and I really have enjoyed his character bringing religion into the story. This is a world where zombies are real, but it's not one where God has been proved to be real. It's more realistic like that even if it still technically has supernatural stuff. I really love the way the episode is set up.
It starts with a shot and nearly ends with the same shot, telling us exactly what happened. Morgan is going crazy as he struggles with whether or not he should be killing people or even walkers. When confronted by the Saviors, things go badly and in the end, he does directly kill one. It's nice to know how Carol is part of the story too. Again, I feel bad for not knowing the names of the characters who have died. Well, it would be too late to learn now. I admit it does kind of seem like filler with the absence of Rick, but with a show that has this many characters, having episodes like this works so well. ***1/2

'Bury Me Here' Review
ollie-8441014 March 2017
Warning: Spoilers
There is nothing more satisfying than seeing some of our favorite characters come out of their shells - and Bury Me Here offers that perfectly, in the form of Morgen, Carol, and Ezekiel. The writing is more slick than previous episodes, the plot moves swiftly onwards and it continues to establish the building sense of war. Richard and Benjamin's deaths here were necessary - although we probably didn't get quite enough buildup for the latter, it felt a little forced - to bring out the side of both Carl and Morgen we know (and love). It is by no means the best episode so far (the Richard plot twist is a little obvious) but it is one of the most enjoyable and best-acted episodes of Season 7 so far. Verdict: 9/10

I can see the season finale, "Rick, Zeke, Maggie, all grand standing in a circle, with Carole and Morgan in Terminator mode. Rick saying we are going to war! after killing Negan's long hair thug and company that just shot the kid. Be prepared to see the conclusion of that in October.

Slow but very intriguing
kobedawson13 July 2021
At this point of watching twd, we should all know how slow paced this show can be, but to make up for that we get some surprises and even great character writing. Morgan's character is one of the most intriguing things about this show right now and that continues to reign true for me. Unlike other characters, he continues to glue eyes to the television screen, along with Carol. With two surprising deaths and how they were laid out, this episode helps build more for the plot, but with the lack of good pacing, this is simply a good episode for me that I would gladly watch again occasionally.

This episode is notable for its exploration of the Kingdom's leadership and the dynamics between Ezekiel, Richard, and Carol
fernandoschiavi21 March 2024
The Kingdom is doing its regular scheduled "offering" for the Saviors. Gavin, who is leading the Savior guards, complains that the count of cantaloupes is short. Ezekiel is confused, as he is certain they put the right number in the shipment. As an argument begins, Richard tries to calm the angry Saviors. Gavin, however, wants Richard to be shot as an example of what happens when Savior demands are not met. His guard Jared, however, instead aims at young Benjamin, a friend and apprentice of Morgan's. He shoots the boy in the leg.
Although the intention had been to simply wound Benjamin, the boy bleeds out and dies, in spite of emergency first aid assistance from Carol. Jared is chastised by Gavin, who feels that the man acted rashly.
As Morgan's reels from the trauma of the incident, he soon realizes that Richard had deliberately removed a cantaloupe, in order make Ezekiel see the Saviors true colors. It was Richard's intention to die, and become a martyr for the Kingdom.
The next day, another drop-off is made, this time of only the one missing cantaloupe. While the group watches, Morgan suddenly attacks and kills Richard. Morgan then explains what Richard had done. This returns trade relations to the status quo. The experience has shaken Morgan, however. He goes to visit Carol in her cottage, where he reveals to her what really happened to Glenn and Abraham.
"Bury Me Here" follows the residents of the Kingdom as they deal with the aftermath of a tragic loss. The episode is notable for its exploration of grief and loss, as the characters struggle to come to terms with the death of one of their own. The episode also explores themes of redemption and forgiveness, as Morgan grapples with his own inner demons and tries to find a way to move forward.
One of the most memorable scenes in the episode is when Morgan discovers that Richard, a member of the Kingdom, sacrificed himself in an attempt to provoke a conflict with the Saviors. This moment has a profound impact on Morgan, who realizes the futility of violence and the need to find a peaceful solution to their problems. The tension builds as Morgan confronts the leaders of the Kingdom and the Saviors, leading to a dramatic and emotional climax that sets the stage for the conflicts and challenges the survivors will face in the future.
The episode is also notable for its exploration of the Kingdom's leadership and the dynamics between Ezekiel, Richard, and Carol. Ezekiel's struggle to maintain peace and stability in the face of growing threats adds depth to his character and raises questions about the nature of leadership in this new world.

One of the most memorable scenes in the episode is when Morgan discovers that Richard, a member of the Kingdom, sacrificed himself in an attempt to provoke a conflict with the Saviors.

Warning: Spoilers
A shocking and emotional well acted episode that had a good plot and isn't full of crap. At the start of the episode, Morgan is training Henry with a wooden staff. Later, Carol decides to come to the Kingdom. Carol confronts Morgan about what really happened. Morgan tells Carol to go back to Alexandria to find out what happened. She leaves and then Morgan and some of the members of the Kingdom head to the drop off for The Saviors. On the way, the road is blocked by a wall of shopping carts. They leave the car to investigate and find an open grave with a sign that says "Bury Me Here". They move the shopping carts and head to the drop off where The Saviors are waiting angrily. The Savior in charge, Gavin, wants them to hand over their weapons because they brought 11, melons is what I think they are but I have no clue, and they wanted 12. Jared mocks Richard with Morgan's stick. Ezekiel says he will hand the guns over if he gives Morgan's stick back. Gavin refuses and they take their guns anyway. Jared raises his gun to Richard's face but then shoots Benjamin in the leg. I actually did not see this coming at all which is surprising for this show. Jared wasn't supposed to do that so Gavin orders him to give Morgan's stick back and then they leave. The group rushes to Carol's cabin to stop Benjamin from bleeding. They take him inside of the cabin but he dies from blood loss. Morgan exits the cabin and starts to go psycho. He almost kills himself but he lets all of his anger out by kicking a bucket. Richard is full of guilt because he was supposed to die. The next day, they bring the missing melon from yesterday to the drop off. When Richard is handing over the melon to Gavin, Morgan hits Richard in the back of the head and then strangles him to death in front of everybody. Another shocker. After that, Morgan tells everyone that Richard blocked the path and he hid the melon because he wanted to start something between The Saviors and The Kingdom. Morgan buries Richard in the open grave and then visits Carol to tell her what really happened. Morgan has began to break this episode. At the end of the episode we can see him sharpening the tip of his stick. Underrated episode.
Another lesson in futility

The show is really good about character development one of the reasons I enjoy watching it. Carol wakes up from her fearful state of hopelessness that she can't save her lived one in Alexander. Morgan played by Lenny James his charcter ads a depth and philosophical edge to the shoe. A man of moral a code to live that is the path of Aikido. The king Ezekiel finally faces the fact that living as servants to the saviors just doesn't fit the bill any longer. The madness and insanity are no longer tolerated. This episode brings our heros to the revelation this must change. Morgan momentaraliy reverts to his insanity and struggles not to kill himself . He and Carol are two sides of the same coin. They mirror one another plight in this post world. The choice to live by morals and an ethical code is further challenged. The plan to avenge the saviors develops, Morgan and Carol must kill again. A confession from the head soldier Richard changes Morgan's course of action.
Worst episode ever

What a waste of time! Nothing happened in this episode. I don't see any advance fighting Negan. I can guess that this season will not have the final battle against the savers, there's only 3 episode left and still wasting a complete episode on Morgan. And the preview for next episode seems to be the same.
