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, she gave a lot more to him than he did to her. It was another brief glimmer of conscience and backstory for the comically insane antagonist. He also found someone on his way back to Sanctuary - but who could it be?

03. Carol Saves Henry

We've got to admit, things didn't look good for Henry. Kids don't have a great track record on this show, and the character's sudden disappearance made us think he was a goner. Though his death was teased several times, Carol managed to track him down just in time. In a nice throwback, his hiding spot was modeled after the one used by Sophia in season two. 

02. Karma Finally Bites Jared

One of the most antagonistic Saviors in the entire show, Jared seemed to glee in the terrible things he and his group did to others. Though he and some of the other prisoners managed to ambush Rick and Morgan, the building they were in got overrun by walkers. After unsuccessfully trying to kill Morgan, Jared ended up getting devoured by the dead. Brutal, but oh-so satisfying. 

01. Rick and Morgan Pull a Fast One

Rick was asked to show mercy if possible before going after the escaped POWs. When they captured him and Morgan, Rick offered them a fresh start at Hilltop - he even gave them his word. After being set free, Rick and Morgan then proceeded to kill everyone. Double-crossing has never been Rick's style. Does this signal a darker turn for TWD's leading man? Rick Grimes may be breathing, but is "Officer Friendly" finally truly dead? 

Only two more episodes left this season! Be sure to like Joe & Josh Talk on Facebook and join in on the discussion.

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...

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...
