Eric is stepping up in a big way! So far, Eric hasn’t seen a lot of action while recovering from his leg injury and staying in Alexandria, but now that All-Out War is going on, he is fighting an inspired fight with Aaron having his back. Good to see!
The showdown with Jesus and Tara. The standoff with one member of The Saviors was an intense one, where the question of whether or not to execute him came into question. It was a great scene with an intense conclusion!
Some recognizable fatalities. So far, the war hadn’t resulted in any major deaths. having some familiar faces die in the war, even if they aren’t fan-favorites, gives more oomph to the war. And while it’s sad to say farewell to some actors, it really is for the best of the show.
