The Walking Dead, Bounty: Things To Note
By Liam O'Leary
1) This episode begins with a flashback, made obvious by Jesus’s presence, and the fact that Maggie is, apparently, still at Hilltop. However, Tara is just joining Hilltop at this point in time. How far into the time jump was this?
2) Additionally, it appears some disease was sweeping through the communities, what that disease was, we don’t find out. The fact the disease is emerging at all reminds one of the flu outbreak in The Prison in Season Four, though, apparently, with much better results.
3) The document Tara hands Ezekiel is the charter Michonne began writing back at the season premiere, “A New Beginning” (Granted, that was, probably, a few years earlier by this point).
4) Also, why is Maggie mad at Michonne? Assuming this is after Rick’s “death”, shouldn’t it be Michonne who’s mad at Maggie?
5) What, exactly, constitutes this “our land” Alpha claimed Alden and Luke stumbled into when she first demanded Lydia? I thought they didn’t have a permanent settlement? How long have they had it? I mean, it’s been seven years since the communities went to war with The Saviors, and, at no point in all that time has anyone stumbled into this “land” Alpha speaks of? Something doesn’t add up…
