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.

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...

Top 5 Moments From The Walking Dead S8E14 "Still Gotta Mean Something"

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...
