The Walking Dead, Monsters: Things To Note
By Liam O'Leary
6) Morales calling Rick “Officer Friendly” is the first time Rick’s been called that since he was called that (By Morales, no less) in the very second episode, “Guts”.
7) Morales is also the second member of The Group Daryl has (intentionally) killed, the first being Dale in “Judge, Jury, And Executioner”.
8) With Morales’ death, the only survivors of the original Atlanta group now are Rick, Carl, Carol, and Daryl.
9) Morgan telling Jesus that they’re the same as The Saviors is not only what Morales was saying to Rick, but seems like a callback to the ramblings of The Crazy Guy in the Season Five opener, “No Sanctuary”. In that encounter, as Glenn freed him from a boxcar at Terminus, The Crazy Guy ran to Rick shouting “We’re the same!”, basically saying that the people of Terminus had become just as evil as his group.
10) Morgan seems to have nearly returned to his “Clear” mode. We seem to have been watching him slowly revert back to this since he had to kill Roman to save Carol back in the Season Six finale, “Last Day On Earth”.
