Top 5 Moments from The Walking Dead S8E11 “Dead or Alive Or”


















Warning: this blog contains spoilers!
What would be worse in a zombie apocalypse – going blind, or traveling with someone who put an arrow through your partner’s head? It’s a tough choice, for sure.  
In “Dead or Alive Or,” we saw some characters struggling to stay alive while others struggled not to kill. But that doesn’t mean everyone made it out unscathed…
Check out our picks for this episode’s top five moments!
05. Tara Spares Dwight – and it Pays Off
Technically the first time she missed Dwight, but whatever. Dwight’s time with the Saviors means trusting him is a big risk, but Tara chose to spare his life. He then led a passing group of Saviors off the trail so she, Daryl, and the others could proceed. But now that Dwight is back at the Sanctuary, his days could be numbered if Laura returns.
04. Eugene Gets a Promotion
Eugene’s ammo-making skills earned him his own outpost, a dedicated security team, and a pretty lady taking his lunch order. But how does he really feel about crafting the rounds that will be fired at his old friends? He did ask about Alexandria’s fate, and he seemingly got away with helping Gabriel and Dr. Carson escape. Speaking of which…
03. Gabriel Walks by Faith, Not Sight
Ok, so he does walk by sight – just really bad sight. Despite his worsening illness, Gabriel managed to stumble upon a house and find medicine, a map, and keys to a car – plus he pulled off that sweet headshot to save Dr. Carson! Gabriel’s faith and mental strength may have helped him stay alive, but it didn’t help him or the doc elude capture by the Saviors.
02. Dr. Carson’s Not-So-Quick Draw
It’s hard to fault the good doctor for trying to grab a gun when he was taken into Savior custody, but he got beat to the draw. His death hit Gabriel hard, and also showed how much the writers of this show love killing doctors and medical personnel. Jenner, Hershel, Bob, Pete, Denise, other Dr. Carson – Siddiq revealing his medical training could mean he’s a guaranteed goner at some point down the line.
01. Negan Launches Biowarfare
The longer wars rage, the more lines are crossed and with less remorse. Negan’s ammo shortage necessitated the use of a new plan – one that shows just how far things have escalated. He and his troops are heading to the Hilltop, with the intent of attacking its occupants using blades covered in walker guts. Infecting the people there would make the type of gruesome statement Negan is all about. But the Hilltop is more fortified than ever – and we can guarantee they won’t go down without a fight.

10 Opponents Daniel Bryan Could Face in his WWE Return

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...

Uber Self-Driving Car Kills Pedestrian

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...

5 Ways All Out War Could've Been Better

Warning - this blog contains spoilers! As part of our celebration of the end of the war arc, we decided to look back and discuss how things could've been improved. If you've followed our coverage of season 8, you know we loved it! But even so, it doesn't mean things couldn't have been done differently. Here are 5 ways we think All Out War could've been better. 5. The Pacing Could've Been Sped Up Significantly Going by Maggie's lack of a baby bump, we can conclude the war took place over a much shorter period than many fans thought. From the beginning of season 7 with Abraham and Glenn meeting Lucille to the finale of season 8 with Negan being imprisoned, only a month or two could've passed at most . That's a pretty radical pacing change for a show that used to move things along quickly. Squeezing 32 episodes into such a short span helped us meet a lot of new faces and explore the bigger world the show is trying to focus on, but it also...
