The Walking Dead, Bonds: Things To Note
By Liam O'Leary
1) When we return from the title sequence, Dante is checking on Cheryl, who, according to Siddiq, is the seventh Alexandrian with an apparent stomach flu. Hmm…has Alpha’s biological warfare already taken effect?
2) When introducing himself, Negan says he’s been locked up for eight years, confirming that the show is, presently, taking place eight years after the Saviors were defeated.
3) If I’m understanding Eugene correctly, the satellite’s transmitter parts salvaged in the season opener, “Lines We Cross”, have greatly expanded the communities’ transmission range. It makes me wonder: Can The Helicopter Group pick up the communities’ transmissions, now? Can the communities pick up theirs?
4) Rosita’s call to Eugene (And her 102-degree fever) makes me curious: Is this foreshadowing Rosita’s death? I mean…she is on borrowed time, if we’re going by her fate in the comics, anyway.
5) While waiting for the Whisperers, Carol asks Daryl about things between him and Connie, which Daryl says it’s “Not at all [Romantic]”, to which Carol asks “Why not?”. She’s got a good point: Why isn’t Daryl’s and Connie’s relationship romantic? Is there a specific reason?
