Still, I was hoping there was at least a horrible zombie scar or some Post Malone tats under that mask.)īefore Maggie brings her new crew to A-town, she fills Daryl in on what the hell she’s been up to in the roughly seven years since she split with Georgie (remember her?) and the twins (remember those two?). Seeing he’s a very non-threatening guy with a very non-threatening name ruined that a bit, though I’m still mighty curious as to why he won’t - or can’t - speak and where he took that Big-Ass-Knife Wielding 101 course. I was also enjoying the big “Snake Eyes from G.I. It’s just fun to be intrigued by a new character, much like when we first met Michonne and her pets way back when.

(Let’s discuss for a moment: I don’t care how impractical it may be to wear lumberjack layers and a full face mask while roaming through the backwoods of Virginia. Hoodie Ninja also has an actual name, and that name is Elijah.
#THE WALKING DEAD SEASON 10 EPISODE 17 PLUS#
Seems like Oceanside should be her backup plan - her kid loved her family’s place at the shore, plus no one there murdered her husband - but A-town it is, a move that even Maggie’s new ponytailed pal, Cole, questions. Maggie’s rude homecoming continues at Hilltop, which is in shambles. Better than her if-looks-could-kill stare is Negan’s realization that his plans to rehab his image and perhaps live a normal, uncaged life is now in jeopardy. (Later on, she’ll do the same with Kelly, minus the chapeaus.) But those good vibes are shattered when Mags lays her eyes on Negan for the first time. To start, she’s in the woods with Judith, bonding as survivors of familial loss and also as kick-ass ladies with cool hats. There’s a nice bookend of moments in this episode as Maggie mentors two potential leaders of tomorrow. She does deserve props for laying all of her Negan cards on the table with Maggie right away, though.) (Save for Carol, of course, whose record on child protection is a real weak spot in her platform. It’s also a reminder that the leadership scales have tipped firmly toward the women in this world, which may be the only sliver of hope left to hold onto. But even with some new pals and the long awaited appearance of little Hershel, this first bonus episode is Maggie’s show from start to finish.
She returned just in time for the official season finale, but didn’t get much screen time (and when she did, let’s be honest, Mags was upstaged by the appearance of Hoodie Ninja in all his blade-swingin’ and Gabe-savin’ glory). With Rick long gone, Jesus dead, and Michonne walking the earth like Kane in Kung Fu, who will lead our ragged band of heroes against yet … another … human … threat? Now, the ink is barely dry on the Whisperers’ obituary and we’ve already got a new band of baddies to deal with: the Reapers. Back in the day, maybe you’d find one band of lunatics per season that would deserve their own nickname. What’s more troubling than the undead is a rise in extremist groups. Peacetime is never really peaceful, though, is it? Almost like zombies have become more of a pest-control issue than an existential threat.
The Whisperer War is over and - stop me if you’ve heard this before - the survivors are dealing with the aftermath of defeating a bunch of psychos.
