UK viewers can now watch all episodes via STAR on Disney+, where new episodes of season 11 will premiere each Monday.This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.Īfter essentially raping the player with the illusion of choice and that decisions make a different in the earlier episodes and then suddenly revealing that nothing you do makes any difference whatsoever, and then providing lackluster gameplay with horrible controls and shallow characters who you can't affect in any way, and then rushing the player through extremely scripted events and an extremely linear and disappointing story, the last thing you want to do is attempt to create a emotional and impactful ending. The Walking Dead airs Sundays on AMC in the US. If anything, we're still reeling from what Carol did the week before. But as it stands, skull masks and military training don't exactly freak us out like past groups have. As previously mentioned, that Maggie connection has us intrigued and Daryl's feelings for Leah will undoubtedly complicate things moving forward. A God-fearing cult of former mercenaries isn't exactly original in the grand scheme of things, and that's particularly true on a show where other groups like The Saviours and The Wolves have already covered similar ground. It's gruesome, and it's chilling, but again, we can't quite shake off this feeling of déjà vu.Ĭoming after a concept like the Whisperers, these Reapers feel like a major step-down.
But what's interesting about 'Rendition' is that it actually calls back more to a different bonus episode from season ten, the one where Daryl's relationship with a woman named Leah is revealed.Īt the end of this episode, Pope cements himself as a bona fide nutcase when he melts a guy's face off by holding him down in a huge fire. Given all this, there was a lot riding on season eleven's latest episode, which finally introduced us to The Reapers in full. And the personal connection between Maggie and Pope also heightens the tension even more, investing viewers in a way that casual zombies do not. This eerie calm instantly positioned the Reapers as a foe to be feared because if they're willing to die for the greater "good" of their group, that makes them even more dangerous. Clearly, our fearless warrior has done something to piss them off big-time because one Reaper told Maggie that a man called Pope has "marked her." And with that, he very casually blew himself up with a grenade, smiling as his body was ripped apart by the explosion. Fans were first introduced to these skull-clad killers back in season 10C where we learned that they had decimated Maggie's base camp and were now on the hunt for Maggie herself.
