- Quotes
Carol Peletier: Compound is not far off, if he made it, if they know we're coming, they're gonna be ready.
Ezekiel: Two Possibilities, just one fact.
Carol Peletier: And what is that!
Ezekiel: We shall be ready regardless.
Carol Peletier: What's about to happen, it's not just a few walkers, you know that right?
Ezekiel: Yes. And yet I smile.
Carol Peletier: Why?
Ezekiel: Do I feel the supreme Confidence or is my lot, my job to simply protect such certainty. No and yes. Yes and no. And then finally yes to both! Fake it till you make it, baby. That's what I've done and what I do, I am king because I have provided a light to lead my people forward through the darkness and they have made my fictions realities. So, with all this and everything that's happened...
Carol Peletier: All of us may not make it. We may not even win!
Ezekiel: And yet I smile. There will be no more fantasies of failure this day.

After taking most of the beating last season, our group took the initiative and went after the Saviors before it was the other way around. I have to admit, it wasn't the easiest to watch the gang brutally plow through dozens upon dozens of living people like that. I think it's too optimistic to think that they can just hold everyone captive and not have some casualties. But at the same time, I'm glad we saw Rick look at himself in the mirror and re-think things a bit. Seeing Morales definitely brought back some thoughts about how the past used to be. So not only is the "familiar face" he runs into Morales, but it's also his own face in that mirror. To me, that was an extremely powerful moment. It's those moments that always win me over.
If there are going to be big deaths this year, I think it's smart to bet on Morgan. This whole "I can't Die" storyline is bound to end up with a devastating end to the great run of Morgan on this show. However, it's interesting that he's done a complete 180 from where he was at this point last year. In fact, it was interesting just to see the idea of life and death become so prominent in tonight's episode. I can only assume that this is a theme that will run through the rest of the season.
So while there was a ton of action, not a lot of things happened of significance. It felt very much like the first part of a two-parter, and maybe this whole season will have that feeling. As we draw closer and closer to our group taking down Negan, which is absolutely inevitable.
