Top 5 Moments From The Walking Dead S8E13 "Do Not Send Us Astray"

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 grief-stricken Henry, some of them stayed to help hold off the dead.

03. Morgan is Haunted by Gavin

Ghost-vin troubled Morgan multiple times throughout this episode. The bloody apparition was sporting his fatal stab wound and the same outfit Morgan wore while training with Eastman - he even had a staff at one point! After playing a major part in another death, this one by the hand of a young child, Morgan could be close to finally losing his mind.

02. Dwight Shoots Tara

Dwight may have put an arrow in Tara to stop Simon from putting a bullet or blade in her. But from Daryl's perspective, it looked like a turncoat turning again. The dialogue between Daryl and Tara was also great as it recalled his bond with Merle and her time with The Governor. She may have survived the attack, but she's in big trouble if the arrow was coated in walker blood.

01. Hilltop's Night of Horror

With the combined forces of their best fighters and some smart tactics, the Hilltop drove the Saviors back. There were casualties on both sides, but the bloodshed didn't stop when the bullets and arrows did. After treating their injured residents and attempting to rest up, Hilltop got a nasty surprise as their wounded began to reanimate and attack the living. We lost longtime Alexandrians like Tobin, and the gruesome sight of Hilltop literally eating itself was one of the most ghastly in the entire war.

The War Is On! | TWD S8E1 “Mercy” Review & Recap

We wanted war, and we got it. The Walking Dead started season 8 off with a bang, showing Rick and the group taking a calculated, strategic approach to dismantling Negan’s empire. After Daryl gets some intel from Dwight, we see Negan’s lookouts getting picked off one by one. Anticipating that such a loss of ground would result in an investigation, the crew has already rigged up a trap to dismantle the soldiers Negan sent out. The three communities combine their forces, rolling up to The Sanctuary in armored vehicles and packing enough firepower to stand their ground. It’s then the showrunners reference a concept that still doesn’t get the attention it deserves – Negan’s followers. His lieutenants are all given a choice to walk away. They’re all there – Simon, Gavin, Dwight, Eugene and…Regina? Fine, but that fifth spot could’ve gone to Arat, just saying. Rick holds off on the fire fight here because he understands a simple truth that has been ...

Top 5 Moments from The Walking Dead S8E10 "The Lost and the Plunderers"

Warning: this blog contains spoilers! The Walking Dead is keeping a frantic pace in the second half of season eight. Titled “The Lost and the Plunderers,” the episode saw allegiances tested and the gore-factor cranked up a few notches. Familiar faces are resurfacing, and old decisions are coming back to haunt various characters – some with fatal results. Check out our picks for this episode’s top five moments! 05. Oceanside Shows Enid and Aaron Mercy After Enid killed the leader of Oceanside in what seemed to be defense of Aaron, the two found themselves facing potential execution. But Cyndie, the older granddaughter, spared them. It’s also interesting to compare the talk the Oceansiders had with Enid and Aaron to the one Morgan, Ezekiel, and Carol had with Gavin last week. One person’s hero can be another’s villain. 04. Rick and Negan Have a Serious Chat No theatrics, no puns, no bravado – just the show’s two leading m...

A Night of New Champions | UFC 217 Review & Recap

UFC 217 was expected to be the biggest UFC card of the year, and possibly one of the biggest cards of all time. It did not disappoint, with all three title fights ending in spectacular fashion.
