The Walking Dead, Open Your Eyes: Things To Note

6) Siddiq’s flashback shows D.J. being murdered by Alpha. This is his first appearance, even if it is in a flashback, since his death (Wherein we saw the moments just before those seen in this flashback), back in Season Nine’s penultimate episode, “The Calm Before”.

7) I find it funny that Gamma, of all people, should tell Aaron “Children make you weak. Hold you back.” considering the circumstances surrounding her sister.

8) While talking to Gamma, Aaron reveals that he had a younger brother, and says that he thinks about him everyday. Did he die before the outbreak? Or…does Aaron just not know his fate? Could he still be alive somewhere?

9) Between Gamma being clearly bothered by Aaron’s talk of siblings, and the captured Whisperer writhing in pain, both recite a mantra: “We walk in darkness, we are free. We bathe in blood, we are free.” Is this what the Whisperers say during…”crises of faith”?

10) The mantra Gamma and the captured Whisperer recite is the same one Alpha and Beta say to each other at the end of this season’s second episode, “We Are The End Of The World”, and likely stems from when the pair united after the walker of Beta’s friend(? Brother?) was killed.
