Where Can I Watch Walking Season 10

This The Walking Dead review contains spoilers.

A recap of ‘What It Always Is,’ episode 5 of season 10 of The Walking Dead on AMC. Negan is on the loose, and seems ready to drop his turn-the-other-cheek philosophy.

The Walking Dead Season 9 Episode 5

In previous seasons of The Walking Dead, there was something of a running joke. Whenever a secondary character got to deliver a speech of some sort or start giving out their backstory, it never went well for that person. If Billy Background suddenly has a dead wife and children that he has to tell a lead character about, then Billy Background is going to die in a hurry. Typically, talkativeness would lead to immediate, tragic death, while everyone around them gawked in horror. (See also the kid in the first episode of season nine who is introduced and gets killed within the same episode.)

Not so with Rick Grimes. The ending of that character’s time on the show didn’t come swiftly, or as a sudden surprising end, but as a media circus. The focus of the ninth season hasn’t been the change in showrunner, or anything behind the scenes, but the final episodes of Rick Grimes. The show’s marketing campaign has been based around Andrew Lincoln’s departure, and rather than try to give viewers a surprise, they’ve been clear. This is the last episode for Rick Grimes (as of right now). Other things happen in the episode, but essentially, it’s a 45-minute farewell to the lead character and the promise of repercussions to come.

With “What Comes After,” Rick Grimes comes full circle. The show started with Rick waking from a coma, and ended with Glenn calling him an asshole. Get used to Rick being called an asshole, and get used to Rick being told to wake up. Waking up becomes Rick’s mantra, and he keeps repeating it to himself—either as himself or via the memories of all his old friends—time and time again as he struggles to keep himself moving. Rick’s being followed by thousands of zombies, too many for their struggling city-states to handle, and if Rick fails, then this herd will find its way to Alexandria, or Hilltop, or any one of a number of outposts full of Rick’s closest friends and family. Rick’s a fighter, and he’ll need to be to keep everyone he loves from being wiped off the face of the earth.

The Walking Dead Episode 5

That loop, the closing of Rick Grimes’ journey, is accomplished via a lot of fever dreams and a lot of Rick passing out. He’ll go gray and wake up staring at himself in the hospital, trying to goad himself into waking up from a coma to save his family. He’ll gray out and wake up looking at himself on the back of his horse, leading a very similar walker horde into Atlanta, or wake up in his squad car eating burgers with Shane (Jon Bernthal), looking at the very accident scene that led to him being shot and put into a coma in the first place. Shane exhorts him to find his inner Shane, to be the asshole, to do the dirty deeds that he knows have to be done to keep everyone safe.

The Walking Dead Episode 5 Season 9

He’ll gray out and wake up in the barn with Hershel (the late Scott Wilson), looking out over the beautiful farm while Hershel tells him not to grieve for all he’s lost, because they’re not lost. As long as humanity survives, Rick’s family and friends—Rick’s legacy—will survive. Rick grays out and walks through a field of bodies, the thousands of people he’s lost over the years. Sasha (Sonequa Martin-Green) stands up behind him, with a message. She tells Rick not to regret the dead. They played their part, like she played hers. Like he plays his. Little things end, she reminds Rick, but it’s not about one of us, or a few of us, it’s about all of us, and the world we’ve been building.

Certainly, the producers of The Walking Dead hope that the message of “What Comes After” resonates with fans in more than one way. Rick Grimes, the linchpin of the show since it began, is leaving, but the world will continue on without him (unless he decides to return) and lean more heavily on those friends and family he’s so desperate to get back to. That’s leaned on heavily in the final moments of the episode, in which Rick stands on the opposite side of the bridge they’d built together while Michonne, Maggie, Daryl, Carol, and the rest watch on from the distance.
