The Walking Dead, The Calm Before: Things To Note
By Liam O'Leary
8) It is rather amusing that the episode of Baby Huey The Kingdom is playing features a scene wherein the fox trying to eat Baby Huey gets his face ripped off, considering the fact Alpha’s successful infiltration. Somehow, I doubt that was a coincidence.
9) Alpha is the third leader of a hostile group to take a particular interest in Daryl, behind Negan and The Governor.
10) During Alpha’s speech to Daryl about the differences between their groups is the first time this season that anyone has called Alpha’s group “Whisperers”. …Took long enough.
11) It is rather ironic that Daryl should call The Whisperers “sheep”, considering how much “wolf” terminology they’ve used up to this point.
12) Alpha crying over Lydia making clear her desire to leave The Whisperers is the only (Even remotely) legitimate maternal behavior we’ve seen from Alpha thus far.
13) The rando Whisperer Alpha kills for looking at her crying makes for, at least, the twelfth Whisperer killed this season.
14) “The Piked” (As I’m calling them) spike this season’s named character death-count to (After adding Casper and Martin — The two men who were helping Hilde and Miles) at least thirty-five. Yeesh.
