The Walking Dead, Faith: Things To Note

10) As evidenced by the row of head-high blood spatter and bullet holes on the wall of the windmill behind Negan, he’s not the first person the Commonwealth has executed since taking over Alexandria. They work fast, apparently, since it hasn’t been that long since Pamela stopped Hornsby’s takeover of the communities, yet, clearly, there’s blood from somewhere between eight to ten people.

11) Sanborn (The trooper who Rosita later used to kill the Warden) is the forty-second named character to die this season and the eighteenth named Commonwealth citizen to die.

12) As Aaron, Jerry, Luke, Jules, Lydia, and Elijah tried to elude the troopers trying to divert the herd they were hiding in, Lydia drops her knife, and one of the walkers, tripping trying to follow the troopers, picks the knife up as it picks itself up off the ground. Was that just incidental, clasping the weapon as it closed its hand and standing back up, or…is that a climber? We saw that one walker in “Days Gone Bye” try to use a rock to smash open the windows of the department store the group was hiding in when they first met Rick in Atlanta, so is it so farfetched to imagine a walker using a knife?

13) Rosita using a walker to kill the Warden may be the first time a member of the group has straight-up used a walker as a weapon (As opposed to a distraction, obstacle, or bodyguard), a tactic typically used by heels like The Governor (Against Martinez in season four’s “Dead Weight”) and Merle (Against Glenn in season three’s “When The Dead Come Knocking”).
