Warning - this blog contains spoilers! The war is over! After it looked like Negan had the high ground going into the final battle, the combined efforts of everyone helped ensure his defeat.  Rick also showed how to (almost) shut Negan up - a knife to the throat! Here are our picks for the top five moments in The Walking Dead season 8 finale "Wrath!" 05. Daryl Spares Dwight Daryl and Dwight have been strangers, allies, enemies, and everything in between throughout the war. After the battle concluded, Dwight was ready to accept his fate for the terrible things he'd done. But his heartfelt apology seemed to sway Daryl, who handed over a set of car keys and sent Dwight on his way to find Sherry. After visiting their old house, he found a note - what a throwback! Could Dwight's former love still be alive? 04. Oceanside Joins the War It seemed like things could get tense at the Hilltop when a large group of Saviors approached. But the Oceansiders

Warning: this blog contains spoilers! Negan is back - and he's cleaning house after being left behind. S8E15 served to remind us of just how formidable the Saviors' leader can be both combatively and tactically. It also reinforced his opinion on traitors. We saw how Rosita and Daryl viewed traitors, too. With the war set to end next episode, has Negan put things in place for a deadly final attack? Check out our picks for the top five moments in "Worth." 5. Rick and Negan Read Carl's Letters Technically Negan had it read to him, but still. Carl asked Rick to make a safe world where people could enjoy normal lives. Carl asked Negan for peace and told him it wasn't too late. Unfortunately, he didn't seem to agree. 4. Dwight Betrays Simon Negan's return shocked many at the Sanctuary, especially the new man-in-charge. Despite being forgiven by Negan for massacring the scavengers, Simon urged Dwight to join him in overthrowing the

Warning: this blog contains spoilers! A man's word means a lot - but war can change everything.  The gruesome battle at Hilltop left people missing and POWs on the run. As the search ensued, we got some more backstory on enigmatic characters and iconic weapons alike. Here are our picks for the top five moments from this episode! 05. Jadis Cleans Up Well The triple-crossing trash queen showed a different side in this episode. Wearing normal clothes and revealing a spotless dwelling hidden in the heaps, she seems more relatable than ever. There's still something off about her, made obvious by her use of a weaponized walker/cart hybrid. Unfortunately, her well-kempt appearance wasn't enough to get the passing helicopter to land. 04. The Origins of Lucille All those "don't you touch her" lines finally make sense. While in the custody of Jadis, Negan revealed his beloved baseball bat was named after his late wife. By the sound of it, sh

On the night of March 18, a self-driving vehicle struck a pedestrian in Tempe, Arizona. The woman was attempting to cross the street when the crash occurred, and passed away after being transported to a local medical facility. Though a driver using Tesla's advanced auto-pilot feature passed away in a 2016 crash , this marks the first known pedestrian fatality involving a self-driving vehicle. As a result, Arizona governor Doug Ducey has suspended tests of autonomous cars on the state's roads until further notice. Emails obtained after the incident suggest the governor was allowing Uber to test their vehicles in the state without informing the public. Uber executive Lior Ron has stepped down amid the controversy. Even business partners like Nvidia are distancing themselves from Uber because of the accident. The company is facing flack for reportedly removing several sensors from their self-driving vehicles prior to testing. Though Uber hasn't released an off

Warning: This blog contains spoilers! Hilltop won the battle, but did they lose the war? The Saviors ran into resistance when they attacked Hilltop, but their follow-up would come back to bite the community - literally.  Do Not Send Us Astray had plenty of losses on both sides as "The Widow" and "The Right-Hand Man" pitted their armies against one another. Here are our picks for this episode's top five moments! 05. Siddiq Stands His Ground Dana seemed like the boss from hell. Despite being the new guy, Siddiq stood up for himself and his potential as a medical assistant. Already shown to be intelligent and compassionate, this demonstration of backbone rounds out his character nicely.  04. The Prisoners Escape  Though she admitted she wanted all the Saviors dead at one point, Maggie's decision to treat the prisoners humanely paid off - especially after their own people abandoned them. Despite being set free thanks in part to a gri

HE'S BACK! After more than two years off the active roster, Daniel Bryan has been cleared for an in-ring return. No official date for a return match has been given and no opponent has been named, but that doesn't mean we can't speculate. We hope Bryan has plenty of matches coming up in his new run - ah, that feels good to say. Here are ten wrestlers we'd like to see him face! 10. Baron Corbin Bryan's time in a Smackdown managerial role saw him have words with Corbin on multiple occasions. It'd make for a good backstory if they fought, and it'd be a fresh matchup. 09. Kevin Owens and/or Sami Zayn We put these two together because they've been a collective thorn in Bryan's side for months. Maybe he and Shane could team together and take on the duo of "Kami" in a tag match? 08. Roman Reigns These two had a great match years ago on the road to WrestleMania, and it was Reigns who came out on top. We've got to think Brya
