The Walking Dead, The Key: Things To Note
By Liam O'Leary
1) This episode seems to pick up right where the last one left off, with The Saviors lacing their weapons with walker guts.
2) As Negan comments to Simon about how quickly Hilltop will cave once they see The Saviors’ foray into biological weapons, Simon appears apprehensive. Was he worried about Negan discovering what he did to The Scavengers? As we would later learn, he had good reason to be.
3) Simon makes a point of warning The Saviors not to kill the Hilltoppers. This is rather hilarious, considering he didn’t listen when Negan gave him the same instructions when dealing with The Scavengers.
4) Simon really seemed to be hammering home the whole “We do what Negan says” thing to Dwight, in spite of him not doing so. This whole thing is some mighty foreshadowing, here.
5) This episode marks the first time we’ve seen Rick visit Glenn and Abraham’s graves since their deaths.
