I really enjoyed this episode. I didn't like the start with the weird transitions of Ezekiel's battles. Basically, I wasn't that excited for the episode as I usually am. Once I got passed that, I loved the scene with walkers rolling down the hill and the battle Rick and Daryl had. My favorite part of this episode is that it sets up what I think is going to be the theme of this season: Everyone is a monster (as the name of the episode implies). Morales makes it very clear that he has changed into a monster and that he knows Rick has to. His point is then proved when Daryl ruthlessly kills him. Later Daryl also kills a Savior that Rick gave his word to let that Savior live. We also see this in Tara and Morgan. It reminds me of season 5 when everyone was like an animal after their horrible experiences. It's similar to this season, but now there are people like Gabriel and Jesus who resist becoming monsters and are trying to help the others do the same but there is a lot of pressure on them. I really like this theme and I hope they keep it going throughout the season. I hope more people start to read between the lines and re-learn to love the show.
