An iconic moment from The Walking Dead came to the screen in The Calm Before and evoked a lot of feelings from fans.
In “The Calm Before” The Walking Dead gave fans exactly the kind of episode that The Walking Dead does so well. It had some emotional highs, a lot of tension, and some shocking blows underscored by a stunning visual presentation. From the writing and production to the directing and acting “The Calm Before” delivered in every aspect.
And underneath it all was an undercurrent of what makes The Walking Dead the unique show that fans love – the connection between the survivors as they fight to hang onto what makes us human.
Love, empathy, compassion, loyalty, and all of the characteristics that are the best of what humanity can be in the face of the horrors of an apocalypse world. The Walking Dead “The Calm Before” was one of those episodes that fans will talk about for years.
On social media last night fans had reactions that ran the gamut from happy tears at the reunion of the communities to tears of sorrow at the loss of some of the characters that have been with us for many seasons.
It was wonderful to see the communities come together to sign the charter that Michonne created and it was devastating to hear Siddiq talk about the last moments of those who died. Here are some of the best reactions to The Walking Dead “The Calm Before”:
I’m already not okay #TWD

Not going to lie, I kind of wanted Michonne to sign the charter, "Michonne Grimes". @AMCTalkingDead #twd #WalkingDead @WalkingDead_AMC

I just can’t right now. 😫#TWD #TheWalkingDead
And to sum up an episode that was probably one of the finest that The Walking Dead has done:
Divided They May Be Weak, Together They’re Unstoppable #TWD
