After the latest episode, it certainly seems that

Overall the commonwealth is "good" but its like the old world... With class struggles, "rich people", normal jobs, political struggles. And of course with that comes danger as it seems from the latest episode (latest available on HBO+) that Lance isn't what he seems and is probably the main upcoming antagonist. My guesses would be that Pamela Milton will die, and Mercer (the head of the commonwealth army) will flip sides as he's gaining respect for Daryl + his sister is getting involved with Eugene.

Potential even bigger spoiler:

Spoiler:

In the graphic novels in the longer run, eventually Maggie becomes the leader of the commonwealth, so that may be how it ends...

[Nicky91]

very good castings for this final season for sure


Teo Rapp-Olsson does a amazing job as that spoiled brat Sebastian

Laila Robins very good one as Pamela


Josh Hamilton (aka Matt Jensen from 13 Reasons Why) as Hornsby good casting either





as for episode 12

hmmmm

Spoiler:

good to see Pamela meeting Maggie, wow Pamela is quite a good shot as for killing walkers with a rifle, better in killing walkers than her son


Mercer definitely is a good man, love seeing scenes of him and Daryl, he definitely also is genuinely interested hearing Daryl talk about Alexandria


Pamela/Lance their scheme well honestly it is not a bad idea at all wanting many communities to get together, but still i am not trusting this plan entirely either, there might be a catch somehow


i genuinely hope that Pamela isn't going to die soon otherwise poor Daryl if Sebastian will become their new leader


Ezekiel being angry at Carol well understandable how he doesn't want to get special treatments before others but tbh this is how much Carol cares about him, loves him basically also Ian Anthony Dale does a fabulous job as Tomi (find him a underrated actor somehow, i also liked him in cancelled series like The Event, but also in Hawaii Five-O reboot

[Nicky91]

sooooooo the big question going around right now


will Rick Grimes return in 11c and the last part of the final season?


apparently Andrew was spotted at the set location, i think he will be the last part 11c, would also make perfect sense if they could tease some possible storyline what the movies might be about, in the time when he was gone, can also see them giving a different direction compared to the comics

Spoiler:

where we will know Rick was shot by Sebastian, cannot see that one happening to Rick now, more likely maybe one of Eugene, Ezekiel or Mercer getting that storyline

[Nicky91]

we got a new walking dead fansite/forum apparently, created by someone also from spoilingdeadfans which ceased to exist couple years back

Spoiler:

we are twd fans

which also have very strict forum rules

had a few lesser interesting moments yes, but i really liked season 10 with the whisperers, and season 11a and 11b so far have been good either, some really good acting work as well,

Spoiler:

Ty Rapp-Olsson whom is a perfect casting for Sebastian, how very convincingly unlikeable he portrays him, how you should portray a arrogant spoiled rich kid and a weakling too how he cannot even defend himself against one walker, when Daryl needs to save his arse


also Josh Hamilton portrays a stunning villain role in Hornsby

Spoiler:

commonwealth remind me personally so heavily of new frontier from telltale twd season 3, more with similar corruption in its council, whereas the rest of the community aren't that bad

Spoiler:

Negan as well, went from very unlikeable to having quite a decent redemption character arc, and i personally find him becoming a solid replacement to Rick in the remainder of the series, pretty sure that what Maggie went through with Glenn, will also end up happening for him, with his new loved one probably being among one of casualties in 11c

also nice how we got little guest starring roles from respective action film/series actors such as Michael Biehn, Robert Patrick too


and Alpha's popularity, possibly might give Samantha Morton's career bit more of a boost as well in terms of other film and series work

The Walking Dead season 11 Part 3 UK release date
The new episodes will premiere in the UK on Star on Disney+ on Monday, 3 October 2022.

A teaser for Part 3 shares: “On the heels of the oppressive presence of locusts, an even greater force is bearing down on every single member of each community. With Commonwealth flags raised at Hilltop, Alexandria, and Oceanside, there’s no time to strategize for those on the road. It’s a race against the clock to stay alive and extract those still living in the Commonwealth before Hornsby can execute his revenge.

“Inside the Commonwealth, Connie’s article has created more chaos than planned. By exposing the Milton’s corruption, their hope to create a better, more equal, life for all may instead put everyone at risk.

“With the vast debt our group owes and no other viable place to live, simply leaving has never been an option. But if their next move fails, staying won’t be an option either. What they’re about to embark on will only invite more danger with massive consequences. The clock is ticking for our heroes inside the Commonwealth as well.

“As each group continues to get caught in uncontrollable situations, threats lurk around every corner, dead and alive. The looming pressure is cresting towards a day of reckoning for all. Will the sum of their individual journeys cumulate into one, or divide them forever? The fight for a future continues to be exasperated by the ominous population of walkers. Not all will survive, but for some, the walking dead lives on…”

i disagree a lot


ok yes first seasons were great, telltale twd is simply amazing (am not getting enough of it, replaying it many times now with different choices)


Negan redemption arc well he's still the same Negan, but it's lovely how much he cares about Lydia, Judith, Dog, his new girlfriend Annie, and with his backstory i understand him better why he attacked rick's group, he must've thought they were similar to the vipers

[Nicky91]

e17

very very good episode


great action scenes


Negan for the first time setting foot within the commonwealth


great scenes with Rosita & Mercer as well, and once again confirmation Mercer is pretty much a good guy (too good for the current state of the commonwealth basically, wanting to do everything by the rules, while some of its leaders seek shortcuts)




now as for the spoilers bit

Spoiler:

the Miltons are losing public support more and more within the commonwealth, due to Sebastian's crimes

basically public starting riots, among them also some of our heroes, Ezekiel, Magna, Kelly, Connie (Yumiko still working on the inside as Pamela's lawyer, spokesperson for the people)

[Nicky91]

my mom is currently binge watching this from the very beginning she's at season 7 now


and keeps asking me questions

[Nicky91]

OMG great episode

Spoiler:

Sebastian getting killed by the walker he tried to feed Max on but Eugene saving Max by pushing the walker into the spoiled brat's direction although great acting work this had been from Teo Rapp-Olsson very convincing job at making him as unlikeable as possible

Spoiler:

Lance's henchmen Roman and Shira/Fake Stephanie murdering those janitors in cold blood to let them reanimate within the commonwealth walls to disturb Pamela's party as a revenge for pinning Sebastian's crimes on Lance

Spoiler:

Judith using Rick's gun

[Nicky91]

ep19

Spoiler:

great scenes between Aaron, Lydia, Elijah, Jerry, stumbling across some variant walkers, who follow them to a castle where they stopped to rest en route to oceanside, alexandria, Lydia still thinking about Henry, good talk from her and Aaron, and the first kiss of Lydia with Elijah is a fact

Spoiler:

Mercer not being able to do much to help our heroes, still think he'll help Eugene a bit now he turned himself in and specifically mentioned he worked alone, not mentioning Max, how brave Eugene has become

[Nicky91]

ep22

Spoiler:

good episode, wow how brave of Negan wanting to sacrifice himself, but that warden not keeping himself to their deal, Rosita OMG what a brutal way of killing the warden

Negan giving me lowkey Kenny (telltale twd) vibes now, being in love with his Annie and about to become a father

nearing the end, and it is making me sad

[Josy]

I'm not enjoying it all if I'm honest but I'll stick it out it's nearly done.

The sound has been terrible so mumbly and whispers when there's no need for it

[Nicky91]

pretty sure that

Spoiler:

Rick

is returning for the series finale, and wouldn't be surprised

Spoiler:

if they have a big role for him either, which kinda would make sense

in light of all the upcoming spin offs too

we got

Dead City: with Maggie & Negan

yet to be titled ones

Rick & Michonne

Daryl & Carol

11x23

some great scenes, like

Spoiler:

with the train station ambush, i knew Pamela was onto Mercer when she found out about which soldiers he took from which specific sections

aw

Spoiler:

Lydia being bit and her arm having chopped off to save her life by Jerry, i feel worried for Jerry now though how he went after Elijah to re-join the herd

Spoiler:

great scenes between Negan & Ezekiel as well, love Negan willing to sacrifice his own life to save the others and especially his pregnant wife, shows how much he has changed for the good but not having forgotten the terrible things he has done

also loved what he said to Maggie regarding Pamela ''that bitch gotta go down'' he is correct in as long as Pamela lives things will never return to close to normal

there has been great acting work this season

Josh Hamilton whom i only knew before this as Clay's dad Matt Jensen in 13 reasons why, but a phenomenal acting performance as Lance Hornsby here


also see a good future ahead in terms of new projects for Cassady McClincy, great new acting talent

Teo Rapp-Olsson too very talented, i hated Sebastian character but that acting was amazing

[Strictly Jake]

Not ready for this to end. As if there is only one episode left! Not enjoyed any of the second half on this final season though it has been bland but the last episode we just had reminded me how good it used to be as it was a great episode. So it's time for it to go as the standards have dropped but it's gonna be weird not having it around, I will watch the spin offs though.

[Strictly Jake]

Oh my...that final episode...couldn't have cried any more

[Mystic Mock]

Tbf I thought that it had the best ending that was possible for the Show given the circumstances.

Although the Negan character is a mess imo, I'll always stand by that.

The Daryl spin-off and the Rick & Michonne spin-off looks interesting to me.

[Nicky91]

yes was a very emotional last episode, am looking forward to the spin offs a lot now!

Spoiler:

Rosita getting bit and hiding her bite gave me personally throwbacks to telltale twd season 1 when Lee got bit and i made the choice to hide it

had me really crying those last moments of her and Eugene, Gabriel


am happy Lydia survived, same goes for Elijah and Dog

Pamela getting arrested, indeed a fate worse than dying for a woman like her




that ending, the character flashback bits with Michonne and Rick talking Goosebumps all over me


Maggie not forgiving Negan but respecting him having changed for the good this much, Negan understands it now how Maggie feels, he was in a dark place too first after his Lucille died and that made him do real nasty things, good he stopped Maggie from shooting Pamela otherwise Maggie would've gone through the same as him

most excited for Dead City: Maggie & Negan spin off


but the main storyline of Michonne & Rick, Daryl & Carol spin offs also excite me

[Nicky91]

Youtube video

dead city trailer

[user104658]

I thought the last episode might seem rushed but I actually think it was done quite well - a good summing up for something that clearly is not a "real" finale, with the continuations coming and plenty of scope for existing characters to show up in those. I also think Rick and Michone will eventually be reunited with Alexandria (and Judith/RJ) - the "real" finale isn't until that happens.

I think it's the right direction for the show to take though - more focussed on a couple of main characters in each "season", TWD has been a bit all over the place with the sprawling ensemble cast the last few years.

One thing that did stand out to me... is that my wife stopped watching not long after the "time jump", probably mid-whisperers (she was watching when Lydia joined etc. but not by the time they beat the Whisperers) however she did watch the finale with me... and all I had to explain was what the commonwealth was and that they had joined but the leader turned out to be corrupt. She didn't need any further info from like 2 full seasons. So I can only assume nothing major has actually happened in those seasons... at all... .

Daryl & Carol

Just Daryl now, no Carol, they're filming in France and the actor didn't want to be away from her family for that length of time. If it continues for several seasons I can see Carol joining later though, as I expect it'll transition to other settings over time. Would be interesting to see Daryl just as a post-apocalyptic globe trotter though. Daryl in London, Daryl in Tokyo etc.

**** knows how he gets to France though. I guess they do have boats but crossing the Atlantic is a big ask .

One final piece of trivia from IMDB - Eugene and Max's baby is played by the Ezekiel's real-life baby.

...



You don't say! Put grey dreadlocks on her and it's the same person!

That's an interesting trivia.
