The best and worst from season 10 episode 10 of The Walking Dead
By Adam Carlson
WORST: “Freeing” Alpha
It’s crazy to think that so far Alpha has been taking it easy on the survivors. She and her people have killed numerous people, taken the land from the communities, and threatened them with a massive herd of walkers.
But Alpha hasn’t unleashed any of her biggest weapons yet. Why? Because she didn’t know where Lydia stood. Inside, she really does love her daughter but the leader of the Whisperers can’t show those feelings or she risks losing her followers and her way of life.
Now that Lydia has made the decision to leave her mother for good and pursue a different way of life, she is effectively disowning her mother. While that’s great news for Lydia, it is likely really bad news for the survivors as a whole.
Now there is nothing holding Alpha back. She can unleash the horde of walkers, shoot first, ask questions later, and stop worrying about anyone’s life other than her own and possibly Beta’s. A new Alpha is about to focus all her vengeance on the survivors…and it’s going to be scary.
