The sequence with Connie in the cornfield was great. Last week there wasn't any real reason as to why she was trailing behind the rest of the people, but I'm lenient with that stuff when he get a great sequence like that. Really gave us a sense to how the zombie apocalypse is for her. And it's cool that Connie an Daryl are going off to find Henry because it's a fresh pairing to go on a little adventure.
They're taking their time with Lydia and Henry, at least compared to the comic. They've already porked at this point in the comics!
Alpha with the baby was great. I hope the show really expands on who The Whisperers are and how they live. The comics do an good job, but it's a limited medium in terms of having an abundance of small details.
Norman Reedus is doing a great job with being the lead of the show. Hardly missing Maggie in those scenes, and now he's taking Rick's role in the comics as he goes after Henry. It's good to see with Daryl having something meaningful to do. He spent two seasons grunting, and he hasn't had much in the way of development since Season 5 when they arrived in Alexandria.
The Kingdom storyline was alright. It was nice to spend some time with those characters since it's been so Hilltop focused since it's come back. Jerry is great. It was more lighthearted. Ezekiel is so hopeful for the future, not knowing The Whisperers are out there. A good use of dramatic irony.
Beta makes his debut on Sunday!
