Upon arrival, Eugene and the group are locked up and interrogated by Stephanie’s community, a group called the Commonwealth. This storyline has been building since Eugene heard a mysterious woman, Stephanie, over a ham radio and their developing relationship became a core plot point in the previous season.īeing strung along that whole time without any real answers has been grating, so you'd think we'd get some closure in this new season, right? Sadly, that's not the case just yet. Meanwhile, a different detachment from Alexandria seeking aid finally reaches a community of survivors. Though this conflict involves more undead and gunfights then your friends’ bickering, we’d wager. Your loyalty to Maggie as a viewer and the recent humanizing of Negan does make it hard to root for one over the other – it's sort of like when your friends are arguing, and you don’t want to pick sides because they're both making good points. Her return brings that tension with Negan back, and it looks to be the real internal conflict going forward with our group, to the point where they each almost kill the other in this episode. Funnily enough, she’s kept a grudge against him. While Negan began his ‘redemption’ arc, Maggie had left the group to raise her son after he killed Maggie’s husband Glenn and their friends in a bloody spectacle. Things haven't changed, of course, for Maggie. ![]() Though clearly unwelcome, Negan being trusted to lead the people he once terrorized says a lot about how things have changed. Thanking the cast and creators for a fantastic run of Horror-Drama laden television, Cryptic Rock gives Season 11 of The Walking Dead 3.5 out of 5 stars, and the entire 11 seasons altogether, 4.5 out of 5 stars thanks to the abundance of strong seasons early on.The once-villainous Negan has turned into a closely-watched ally, as he guides the Alexandrians through an underground railway to the Warden’s ransacked settlement for supplies. Nonetheless, the original The Walking Dead series is no more, and for what it is worth, through the ups and downs, it is one of the strongest television series ever to be produced for cable television. In fact, some finales were so good some viewers might have felt satisfied with it all ending right there and then. Looking back, there have actually been season finale episodes in years past stronger than Rest in Peace. And it would have been a fine season had there been a new season coming, but as it stands, some are feeling a bit short changed. The theme is compelling enough, the tension is plausible, and for the most part, the story lines are not too absurd. In all, as a whole, the eleventh season of The Walking Dead was perhaps the most entertaining and evenly paced since Rick’s departure back in the ninth season. However, for others, they might be cutting their ties and thanking The Walking Dead for the memories.īTS – The Walking Dead Season 11, Episode 24 – Photo Credit: Curtis Bonds Baker/AMC A lot to digest, for some it is exciting that they will be able to continue along a journey with these characters. ![]() Of course, there is Fear the Walking Dead which has run since 2015 and The Walking Dead: World Beyond running since 2020… but what is next? While all the details are still unclear, there will reportedly be a Daryl (Norman Reedus) spin-off Walking Dead series set in Europe, while Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) will have their spin-off series called Dead City, and finally, Michonne (Danai Gurira) and Rick (Andrew Lincoln) will at last get a spin-off series as well. However, as unresolved as The Walking Dead’s finale might feel, you cannot help but ponder the idea that AMC and the series creators planned it this way. A conclusion not much different than prior triumphs of our chosen hero’s past, this time around there is no tomorrow. Briefly recapping everything that transpired in season 11, the drama of the Commonwealth and the city’s political corruption is at last snuffed out thanks to the mainstay Walking Dead characters uniting together one last time. Why? Well, it has been twelve years and many dedicated viewers justifiably wanted more resolve than Rest in Peace might have had to offer. Drawing in 2.27 million views in the episodes premiere, for some, the series finale is a very uneven and unfulfilled ending. Wrapping up after initially launching the final season back in August 2021, the final episode ever of The Walking Dead is fittingly entitled Rest in Peace. ![]() Norman Reedus (Daryl Dixon)/Melissa McBride (Carol Peletie) The Walking Dead Season 11, Episode 24 Photo Credit: Jace Downs
