I haven't had this much fun with a Walking Dead series since the early days of the main show. This episode truly had it all: suspense, cool zombies, emotional scenes, love, the most amazing cinematography, the most perfect song to end the show ever! And, of course, a nice surprise at the end.
Everything about this series is near perfection. The costuming is appropriate & cool & sexy. The set design is stunning. The locations they used are incredibly gorgeous. Everything about the cinematography is well thought out and breathtaking. The lighting they use & weather they utilize or fabricate really adds to the story.
This episode's storyline included a piece of our history with France, and that was very moving and touching. An excellent, special acknowledgment. The connection with Daryl's family and our history with France was nice to see.
The characters & actors are interesting & so talented. Walking Dead has always had a knack for getting us to invest in characters, whether we love them or hate them.
The icing on the cake in this episode for me was the song it ended on. I am a huge old U2 fan and the lyrics and the song they used could not have been any more perfect! (I'm going to go listen to their War album again.) It was a very nice and fun surprise!
I am very excited about the next season and I really hope it doesn't take too long for them to air it. But I wouldn't be surprised if we would have to wait a year!
