This year, I attended my first Wizard World convention. In preparing for this occasion, I frequently checked the roster on the the Wizard World website, where they keep a list of the notable guests scheduled to attend, which days they will be there, and the prices for their photo-ops, autographs, and the VIP options for those that offer them. If you're planning on going, you can also book your hotel room through the Wizard World website, where they offer deals on hotels close to the convention centre where the con will take place.
I had initially expected to meet just a few people, due to limited funds, but upon getting to the con Friday night, I found that many of the celebrity guests offered the much more affordable option of paying just $20 for a photo with them using your own phone/camera/device, which was preferable to my budget compared to the autograph or photo-op options. It should be noted that you can purchase many of your autographs and photo-ops in advance, but many can also be purchased at the con itself, but then it is a cash-only policy.
First order of events was to get a photo-op with Walter Koenig, most famously known as Pavel Chekov from the original series of Star Trek. I was beaming because I'm a huge fan of the original series and I'm sure he could tell how excited I was since I couldn't resist giving him a hug before we took our photo. Another tip for those of you going to any convention where you plan on getting photo-ops is to bring your own plastic sheet or something similar in which you can safely store your print so it doesn't get ruined.
If you're wondering how to know who offers the option to just purchase a $20 photo at their table, you can usually go and ask the Wizard World volunteer managing their line (they're easily spotted in their bright yellow shirts). Though not all offer the $20 photo option, some will include a free photo to be taken with them if you purchase their autograph.
The next person I met was Scott Wilson (Hershel from "The Walking Dead"), with whom I got a photo. He was nice enough to greet me with a big hug. Next, I went over to get a photo with Michael Rooker (Merle from "The Walking Dead," Yondu from "Guardians of the Galaxy"). He was so charismatic that he kept everyone else's energy up, from the people working his booth to the crowd waiting in line. I asked if we could do "Dancing Groot" for our photo, since I'd seen Youtube videos of him doing it with fans at other cons, and he was more than happy to indulge my request! Some time later, I went to met Sean Patrick Flanery (Connor from "Boondock Saints") and he was very funny as well. A simple "Hey" from me sent him spinning off into a ramble about the 90s TV show "Moesha."
The next day there were far more guests in attendance, as Saturdays tend to be the busiest days. One of those guests was Andrew J. West (Gareth from "The Walking Dead") and he had brought along his fiancée Amber Stevens (Maya from "22 Jump Street"), whom I spotted walking around the exhibit hall. I stopped to ask her for a photo and we got to chatting about representation in media. I offered up many recommendations for different shows that are serving up the diversity. We also found out that an 11-year-old girl had passed out in line to meet Andrew. He apparently kept stopping the line to check if she was okay. Later that evening, I went and grabbed a photo with Jewel Staite (Kaylee from "Firefly"). I mentioned how I had hoped to meet her at Comikaze but had to skip doing so since meeting Stan Lee had depleted my con funds. She had gorgeous red hair and her whole team of people were really nice. Saturday was also the one day that Norman Reedus (Daryl from "The Walking Dead") was in attendance and his line was jam-packed for the whole day. If you're hoping to meet Norman at Wizard World, I would definitely recommend purchasing your autographs/photo-ops/VIP passes in advance so as to not miss out when you actually get there.
Final day of Wizard World, and I took the time to meet more folks from "The Walking Dead." Jon Bernthal was still signing and he was also a bit tired. I asked if he was hungover and he said he simply hadn't gotten any sleep the prior night. His response when I asked why? "Because I'm an idiot, that's why." I had myself a giggle over that one, and got a photo with him before telling him to feel better and rest up soon as he could. Finally, I went and met Andrew J. West (again - since I'd met him once with Amber the day before, and again when I went through his line with some people who asked me to take their photo for them). The people in front of me in the line had brought along plastic silverware and asked him to pose as if he was going to eat one of them, which he happily obliged. We took our photos together before I had to run off and catch my flight.
My first Wizard World was an excellent learning experience and I'd be more than happy to attend one again, particularly if it's at a location close in proximity to where I am and has guests that I'm keen on meeting. Many of the cast members from "The Walking Dead" (be they current or prior) tend to do Wizard Worlds so if you're a fan of the show, these are definitely cons I'd recommend attending if you'd like to meet them. Many of the celebrities who attend these cons are not there in an official promotional sense. They tend to go because they enjoy interacting with the fans so enjoy every moment of it!
The walkers want in, while the Termites
continue their feast of Bob. Gareth chatters on and on. He knows the
walkers will eventually break through the glass that separates them
from the walkers. He tells Bob that they may not have died. Terminus
wasn't just a trap, but a choice. If they survived they would have
been given a choice to live and join them. But now, they plan to eat
everyone in the group. Gareth can't wait for another go at Carol for
killing his mother. Gareth lost his family, and now he'll do what he
needs to do. He think pretty people taste better and he can't wait to
taste Sasha. Bob erupts in low giggles, that turn maniacal. They ate
tainted meat he shouts gleefully. During that food run he was bitten
by the walker that came from under the water. They all ate zombie
meat! That spoils everyone's appetite and they let Bob's leg go to
waste, spitting it out on the ground. Gareth tries to calm his
people, they cooked the meat it should be fine.
Sasha is out looking for signs of Bob,
but only finds walkers. Tyrese and Rick catch up to her. Daryl and
Carol are missing too. In the church, it eerily quiet. Sasha demands
to know what Father Gabriel is going, thinking that he's connected to
the disappearances. He claims to not have anything to do with it, but
she doesn't believe him. Rick asks why he brought them to his church.
Gabriel was alone, he was lonesome. Rick wants to know what he's
done, why they wrote you'll burn for this on the church. Gabriel
locked the doors, he'd always locked the doors. Atlanta fell, and the
people started coming. It was early, and the doors were still locked.
The people screamed, tried to get in, and the walkers came. The
people were over taken, screaming for help, and Gabriel didn't do
anything until it was all over. He buried the bodies. He cries in a
puddle at the floor. Someone is outside. The Terminus fold have
brought back Bob. The group gathers him up, as Rick shoots the
walkers who are drawing close. There's an A painted on the outside
wall.
Bob awakens in the church. He tells him
that it was Gareth and five others who took him. They ate his leg
right in front of him all proud like they had everything figured out.
Rick asks if they had Daryl and Carol, but they didn't. Sasha wants
to fix Bob up, save him, but there's no saving him. He shows her and
the others that he's infected. Gabriel offers the sofa in his office
for comfort. Rick asks if Gabriel knows the location Bob described,
and he does. Its a nearby elementary school. Abraham thinks that now
is the time to hit the road, but Rick isn't going anywhere without
Daryl and Carol. Abraham is ready to cut ties and leave, but Rick
isn't going to let him take the bus. There's a threat and Abraham
needs to get Eugene out. Daryl and Carol left on their own accord,
and Abraham is trying to save everyone. Glenn breaks up the fight. He
points out that they won't be any safer leaving in the middle of the
night, they need each other for the planned attack, to make it to DC.
Tara offers to go with them if they stay for just one more night.
Abraham wants Glenn and Maggie too, but Rick refuses that offer.
Abraham tells Rosita to grab her gear, for Eugene to get his butt in
gear, but he doesn't want to. Rick tells him again that he isn't
taking the bus, and Abraham tells him to try to stop him. Before the
pair can come to blows again, Glenn intervenes again. If Abraham
stays and helps them, then Glenn and Maggie will go with him. It's
not Rick's choice. Abraham doesn't like the plan, but he accepts it.
The one good thing about being kicked
in the face when they knocked him out Bob says, it made him forget
his other pains. Sasha doesn't like that way of thinking. She asks
why he didn't tell her he was bitten. Bob knew that if he told her it
would be all about the end, and he really liked the middle. Sasha
cuddles close to Bob. Poor Bob, his character is finally not a
constant annoyance, and he's going to bite it.
Rick and the others plan to go in while
they have the upper hand. They know what the Termites are capable of,
and they need to go in. Rick asks if Tyrese is ready for this. Sasha
is, she wants to go out and be apart of the strike. Tyrese knows she
wants to strike those who hurt Bob, but he reminds her that Bob only
has a little bit of time left, and once that's gone, it can't come
back. He remembers what it felt like when he lost his girl. Sasha
reminds him of the blind rage he was in. She can't forgive the
Terminus folks for the pain they caused Bob, for the threat they
pose. Tyrese isn't suggesting she does that, only let them fight for
her. Sasha gives Tyrese her knife, telling him to use it should Bob
pass.
The group heads out into the night. The
walkers still surround the Termite's hiding spot. The night is quiet
as the Termite group silently make their approach on the church. With
the strongest members gone, now is the perfect moment to pick off the
others. The Termites head through the front door. The church is dark
and quiet. Carl and Gabriel raise their weapons, holding them in
their sights. Gareth tells them that they know who is inside. They've
been watching the group, and they know everyone who should be there.
Rick and the rest walked out with the guns, leaving them in a pickle.
The church isn't a big place, and they'll be found eventually. One
Termite jiggles a door, thinking that everyone is hiding between one
of two doors, and they've got more than enough firepower to take down
everyone. Gareth tries to appeal to Father Gabriel, telling him that
if he just opens the door, he can leave with the baby. Judith begins
crying behind them, no where near the doors that Gareth is closing in
on. He changes his mind about the baby, he's starting to like the
girl as he alerts her to her location. Gareth gives the group one
last chance before they come after them. He orders one of his men to
take out the door hinges, and he falls dead of a head wound. Gareth
gets shot in the hand before he see Rick come out of the shadows. The
group had doubled back, that was their crazy plan. Gareth notes that
Rick could have shot them all, killed them when they came in but he
didn't. They use to help people, he saved Rick. Things changed,
savages came in. Gareth doesn't think Rick knows what its like to
starve, and reasons that he doesn't have to kill them. If Rick's
group lets them go then he'll never see him again. Rick just didn't
shoot them because he didn't want to waste the bullets.. Rick,
Abraham, Sasha and the others beat the remaining Termites to death.
Michonne retrieves one of her katanas from the fallen. Father Gabriel
sees the mess in his church as Rick reminds Sasha that it could have
been them. Father Gabriel looks at Maggie and Glenn lost, telling
them that its the Lord's house. Not anymore, not for a long time.
It's just four walls and a roof.
Maggie says her goodbyes to Bob, the
entire group has come in to see him one last time. Bob stops Rick for
a last moment. Bob wanted to say thank you. Before the prison he
wasn't sure there were good people left, that there were any people
left. It was him that took him in, that took people in. The world is
ugly, but it shouldn't change who you are, it shouldn't destroy your
character. Bob tells him to just look at Judith and tell him the
world isn't about change. They can still do good. Bob falls asleep,
and wakes to Sasha there. She asks him why he's smiling. He thinks he
was dreaming, and she was smiling back at him in the dream. A smile
escapes her. This is it. The tears streak Sasha's face as Bob slips
away. Sasha gets ready to send Bob off, but Tyrese stops her. He
sends her out so that he can take this burden, off her shoulders, and
let her preserve her last memory of Bob. Tyrese slips the blade into
his temple, ending Bob.
Sasha ties together the cross on Bob's
grave. Abraham gives Rick a map of the roads they will travel to get
to DC. They'll stick to it as long as they're able to. He wants the
group to be there for when the world bounces back. Glenn and Maggie
board the bus, no goodbye on their lips. They'll meet again. There's
little more than a head nod as the bus heads out leaving the group
separated. Rick looks at the map marking the route. There's a note
from Abraham apologizing for being an asshole, and saying that the
new world is going to need a Rick Grimes. Rick goes to help Tyrese
dig graves. He knows how rough it was for Tyrese. Tyrese thinks it
killed him, but Rick knows differently.
Michonne sits outside, watching the
dark when Father Gabriel joins her. He couldn't sleep. The violence
of the previous night brought back his nightmares in full force.
Michonne knows they won't stop, it'll take time. She hears something
in the darkness, katana raised she goes to investigate. It's Daryl,
and he is a sight for sore eyes. He's all beaten up. She asks where's
Carol, and he calls to the person behind him to come out, and now we
have to wait until next week to see who's there.
Terminus burns in the distance. Rick and his group are on
the road again. Maggie is glad to have Glenn safe with her again, and so are we
after that close call with the baseball bat last week. Rick is suspicious of
Tara, but she saved Glenn, and he saved her. Tyrese and Carol fill water
bottles. He’s forgiven her, and he needs to talk to the rest of the group. He
doesn’t plan on mentioning what happened with Mika and Lizzie that he just
needs to forget. A stray walker stands no chance against the group, and
Michonne doesn’t even bother drawing her katana, she bashes the walker’s skull
in with her rifle. Rick is thankful for everything that Carol has done for him.
Not only did she save him, his baby but she recovered his watch. He still isn’t
sure about what she did, but he did wrong too. He said she could survive, and
she did. He sent her out into the wild, but he wants her back in the fold now.
Carol and Daryl sit in near silence. She needs to forget.
Daryl hears noises out in the darkness thinks it’s nothing. But he’s wrong.
In the light of day, the group moves on. Daryl has caught
lunch. He was doing more than hunting. He’s found no tracks or anything, but
Rick knows that they’re being watched. Abraham plans to take the next road they
find, and continue on his mission. Sasha and Bob seem all lovey dovey, and
Tyrese finds joy in that. Someone nearby screams as walkers attack. Carl
prompts the group into moving, and they kill all the zombies trying to eat the
priest. He tosses his cookies at Rick’s feet, which doesn’t impress anyone. It’s
Father Gabriel. He has no weapons of any kind. The word of God is his only
protection. He called for help, and help came. He asks if they have any food,
the last of his, just got spilled on the ground. He notices baby Judith,
remarking on her beauty, as the others look at him with suspicious. He asks if
they have a camp, they do not, but he has a church. Rick pats him down. He has
killed no walkers or people because the lord abhors violence. He is a sinner,
he sins almost everyday, but he only confesses those sins to God. Rick asks if
he’s the one that has been watching them. He wasn’t. He keeps to his church
mostly, the dead are worse than the living now. Father Gabriel jokes that maybe
he’s leading them into a trap so he can steal their squirrels. None of them
find his humor very funny. The group search the church, and find it to be
exactly what he claimed it to be. The Terminus group has made them a mighty mistrustful
lot. Abraham is ready to fix up a bus and move on. Michonne and Rick want to
rest and gather supplies. Everyone is onboard. One way or another they will
follow Rick. The group will head out to a nearby spot and gather supplies.
Tyrese and baby Judith will hold the church. Rick is forcing Father Gabriel to
come along. Rick doesn’t trust the Father, which is why he’s bringing him
along. He tells Carl to stay with Tyrese and baby Judith, because there could
be others hiding. Rick wants Carl to make sure he understands that no matter
how good some place looks, they’re not safe. Carl understands that, and he
understands that they’re stronger as a group. And because they’re strong, they
should help people when they can.
Father Gabriel leads the way. Bob tells Rick that Washington
is going to happen. But Rick hasn’t decided if they’re going yet, but Bob
thinks it has to so that they can get the world back in order. Rick points that
this is the real world, but Bob doesn’t think it is. It’s just a nightmare.
Eventually Rick is going to say yes, he has to let go.
Daryl understands that Carol doesn’t want to talk about
things, but he still needs to know that she’s okay. She has to be. They have to
let things go between each other if they’re going to survive, and she got
really lucky on their rescue. They find an abandoned car, it doesn’t start. Daryl
reminds her that they aren’t dead, and they can start over. She hopes so. In
the trunk is a battery charger. They leave the car as back up if things go sour
at the church.
Maggie and Tara look over a shop. They can’t imagine the
store still having anything left. Glenn scares them as he comes out, both the
girls prepare to fire, but it was just Glenn tripping over his feet. He’s found
three silencers.
Father Gabriel takes the group to the food bank, where all
of the canned supplies he’d been living off of were going to be delivered
before the apocalypse hit. Inside, the floor fallen, trapping the walkers
below, but with the roof collapsing above, and water gathering, it’s made some
nasty walker soup. Unfortunately there seems to be a bunch of supplies on
shelves down there too, so they need to head down. They’ll use the shelves to
keep the walkers away. The group head down, and they take out the walkers, but
the little old lady walker wakes him wig out. Rick goes after Father Gabriel,
while the others continue their bashing. Coast clear, Bob goes to open the door
and release the water, when one walker comes from under water, and nearly pulls
Bob under. Sasha saves him.
Supplies gathered, Father Gabriel apologizes for not doing
anything. He knew the little old lady, and panicked. Rick understands. Ricks
asks if Michonne misses her sword, and she doesn’t. She misses many things, people,
but not her sword. They make it back to the church. Carl is out back. He’s
found knife marks on the church windows outside, and a message “You’ll Burn For
This.” He tells his father that he’s not sure what it means, that Father
Gabriel may not be a bad person still, and no matter the case, they’ll handle
it. After the Terminus crew, he really can’t be worse.
That evening the group rejoices. Rick toasts the survivors,
who’ve all earned that title. Abraham wants them to be more than just survivors
scavenging for food, not much better than the walkers. Once they get Eugene to
Washington he will get the dead to die, and the living to inherit the world
once more. Washington has been set up for this situation, and while the reset
button is getting to work they’ll have the supplies and means to survive. They
need to save the world for themselves, for Judith, for the others out there
with nothing left to do but supply. The group is silent, only Judith makes a
sound. If she’s in them, so is Rick, and all the others. Sasha makes a move to
hold the baby before someone can stop her, Bob gets another kiss before she
goes. Tara has a confession for Maggie. She was at the prison with the
Governor. She didn’t know who he was, what he could do, or who any of them
were. She didn’t want it to be hidden that she was there anymore. Maggie
embraces her, she’s with them now. Rick thanks Father Gabriel for the
hospitality, surprised by the strength of the communion wine. Wine is just wine,
until its blessed. Rick knows that he’s hiding something, that’s clear. But the
people inside are his family, and if his secrets harm them he’ll kill him.
Carol is alone in the dark. She kills one walker. Daryl
sneaks up on her, asking where she’s going. She doesn’t know. They’re at the
car, and go to head back when the church hearse drives by. Daryl takes out the
car’s back lights, and they speed off after it.
Bob has a little breakdown outside, he’s a crying mess and
doesn’t hear anyone approach him. Garrett hits him and down Bob goes. They
should have gone back and killed everyone of those Terminus people, instead of
letting it go. Nearly eating someone is never something you let go. Bob slowly
awakens around Garrett’s fire. The good news is that he’s not dead yet. Garrett
warns him not to get crazy, he wishes to evil villain monologue. He didn’t want
to hurt Bob, to pull him away from his group and scare him, but they have to.
He and his people took away their home, and now they like everyone else out
hunting. They didn’t start out eating people, but they’ve been forced into it.
Nothing he’s doing is personal. Garrett tells him its cosmic justice that its
him, and no matter how much they hate the zombie business, a man has to eat.
Bob is missing his leg, and it is delicious.
Then. Another group regrets following the signs. What did
they think was going to happen? They wanted to survive, and now they sit
listening to the screams. Gareth is in this group. This must be the Terminus group in the beginning, before they were crazy cannibals.
Now. Our little group is vastly different. They don’t sit
crying, but rather preparing to bring some pain. Everyone makes make-shift weapons.
Daryl warns that they’re coming, and the group prepares to go for their eyes.
Instead of coming from the front, the door opens above, and a gas grenade is
dropped. There’s no running from it, but Rick gets someone, before he’s knocked
out. The men wake, bound and gagged, brought in front of some sort of feeding
trough. In the distance a body is being cut up. Down the line heads are hit
with a steal bat, and throats are slit. The blood drained into the sink. Gareth
comes in asking about shell counts right before Glenn falls victim. Bob tells
him that they have someone with a cure, but Gareth tells him that they cannot
go back. He asks Rick what was in the bag he left in the woods, threatening Bob.
Rick tells him what’s in the bag including the machete with the red handle that
he’s going to kill him with. Gareth tells his men that they have two hours to
finish with the bodies. Just before Glenn gets his brains racked, something
shakes the building.
Carol, Tyrese and Judith walk the tracks headed towards
Terminus. Carol plans to drop them off and leave them. A walker stumbles onto
the track. Tyrese can’t kill it, not yet. Carol walks over and stabs it easy
enough, but there is a huge group of them coming. The trio hide, and the
walkers approach. The sound of gunfire draw them away and down the tracks. The
gunfire was likely from Terminus, either they were being attacked, or they were
attacking. Carol plots out an alternate track to get to Terminus.
A guy sets up fireworks. He knew Michonne was trouble just
looking at her, as he chats on the walkie. Carol gets him at gunpoint. He
claims that Michonne and Carl are the only ones that they have. He needs to set
up his charges, they all have to go off at the same time to confuse the
walkers. Carol doesn’t want the walkers confused, she needs them. He tells her that
Terminus is a compound, that they’ll spot her, but she plans to kill them
anyways. Tyrese stays behind with Judith to watch their captive.
Carol sets out, covering herself in zombie goo.
He asks Tyrese about the baby. Tyrese doesn’t say much, only
that Judith is a friend. The man remembers friends, but doesn’t have them
anymore, and he’s use to it. Tyrese isn’t use to losing people. The guy tells
him that Tyrese is a good guy, the type that saves babies. But babies are like
anchors in the sea, they’re get you nowhere. He tells him that because of him
being a good guy, he’s going to die. Or he can take the baby and the car and
get out of there. He really doesn’t want to kill Tyrese.
Carol approaches the compound. She sees Rick and the others
being dragged away from the train car. Carol watches through her scope as they
kill some walkers. She spots a gas tank, and the others spot the herd closing
in. The Terminus folks make a run for it, and Carol blows up the gas tank. It
takes out some of the walkers, but merely knocks down many of them. They
stumble back up.
Tyrese sees the smoke in the distance. His captive asks if
that’s Terminus. It is. He tries to instill doubt in Tyrese, telling him that
his friend probably just got capped. Or perhaps he will. Tyrese doesn’t think
that he has to die, but thinking like that the captive tells Tyrese that he’ll
likely be the one dying.
All hell is breaking loose in Terminus. Gareth leaves Rick
and the others while he goes to check on the others. He leaves the knifemen to watch
the group. Bad move, Rick has a shank and he’s working on freeing himself. The people
of Terminus are scrambling, and falling prey to the zombies who have a gateway
into the compound thanks to Carol. Carol enters in the herd. The knifemen are
concerned what is happening outside, since there’s no contact. Rick takes
advantage of the chaos, causing a little bit of his own as he kills both of the
men, and frees Daryl, Glenn and Bob. In the train car Abraham wants out, he
wonders what is happening on the outside. Eugene thinks he has a way to get
out. Maggie and Carl know that the men will be back, and they’ll all get out
together. They all continue to work on getting out. Michonne watches the
walkers, they’re atleast safe from them. Carol passes by people getting eaten,
but as shots are fired at the walkers, Carol falls back, and shots the Terminus
gunmen, giving up the safety of the herd. Rick tells the men to kill anyone
they come across, because they won’t hesitate. The four head over to a train
car to release its inhabitants. There’s only one lone crazyman, and he becomes
walker food instantly. Glenn bashes the man and the zombie with his bat, and
Daryl pulls him back before he’s spotted.
Carol looks around the room she’s stumbled into. It’s full
of lots of items taken from the people eaten. She pockets a watch before moving
to the guns, and onto her actual mission.
They foursome need to
make a move, but there are gunners coming. Rick plots to take them out. He
crouches waiting, and nearly gets munched. Daryl saves him just in time. The
gunners come through clearing out the walkers, and Rick grabs the last one,
killing him. He shoots all the others. There’s no way to get to the train car
from where they’re at, they have to double back.
Carol continues her search, finds the room with all the
candles when she’s caught by the BBQ lady. She tells her to drop her weapons,
she wants to see her face, knowing she destroyed her sanctuary, and compromised
her meat supply. Carol isn’t going down so easily though, and the pair scuffle.
Carol gets the upperhand, and holds her by gunpoint. She tells her that the
signs were real. It was a sanctuary, until a group came through and raped and
slaughtered them. They fought back, and took back their home. You’re either the
butcher, or the cow. Carol asks the people they took from the train car. The woman
doesn’t tell her about them, only that she could have been one of them. Carol
shoots her in the leg, and the woman tells her to aim for her head. But Carol
isn’t going to give her that satisfaction. She opens the door, and lets the
walkers in to do the dirty work.
Tyrese continues to watch the distance for any signs of
Carol. Walkers are starting to surround the little cabin. His captive uses the
distraction to grab Judith. He doesn’t want to hurt her, but he tells Tyrese
that he will. He wants Tyrese to drop his weapons and head out in the walkers.
Tyrese hesitates, but heads outside. He makes a call of the walkie, but there’s
no response. The walker noise stops completely. Tyrese comes barreling in and
beats the man with his bare hands. Outside he killed all of the walkers.
The traincar inhabitants sit around waiting for rescue.
Sasha asks what the cure is, but Eugene is tightlipped, its classified. He
tells them that even if he gives them step by step instructions the cure will
die with him. They may not understand it, but they still want to hear it. He
was part of a human genome project, fight diseases with diseases. He believes
he can flip the script of the failsafe, and put things to right. The group is
down for the idea. Maggie wants to get back to work, but no need. Rick and the cavalry
has arrived, and it’s a mad dash to the fence with plenty of walker head
bashing along the way. It’s utterly gory, and as they make it to the fence, the
terminus folks arrive, but Rick’s last bullets are enough to discourage their
pursuit. Rick and Daryl scope out their gun stash. Rick wants to go back and
kill the last of the survivors. The ones stuck in the train car want to just
leave them to the fate of the walkers. They didn’t see the killing trough, or
see that people were on the menu. Carol finds the group, and its Daryl who
rushes in to embrace her. Rick asks if she was the one who caused the
explosion, before pulling him in for an embrace. She brings the group back to
the little shack, and the happiest moment of reunion is upon them. Rick and
Carl have Judith back, and Tyrese is reunited with Sasha. Carol asks what
happened, and Tyrese tells her that the walkers came, and he took care of them,
and their prisoner. Rick and the others prepare to hit the road again. They have
to get away. Abraham needs to talk, but not just yet. Onto the train tracks
they go, headed as far away from Terminus as they can get. Rick makes some
correction to the Terminus sign, making it read No Sanctuary.
Then. The people of Terminus are in the same train car as
Rick and his people were. One is chosen, begging, not again. Gareth plans to
take back Terminus from their aggressors. They will no longer be the cow. Was
that man in the darkness Negan? He’s coming eventually we know that.
Someone follows the tracks. He sees Rick’s sign of No
