Walking dead spoilers finale

Well, not all of them. Luke Dan Fogler bites it early and Rosita succumbs to a fatal zombie bite later on. Everyone else, however, gets to enter that great aftershow in the sky that all TV characters enter after a show wraps. After getting medical assistance for Judith Grimes Cailey Flemingour heroes enter into The Estates section of The Commonwealth where Pamela Milton and the rest of the elite are hiding from the walker invasion.

There they are able to resolve the tense political situation by having Mercer Michael James Shaw stage a soft coup and force Governor Pamela Milton Laila Robins to resign. Pamela attempts to commit suicide via zombified Lance Hornsby but Maggie shoots the zombie and Pamela is taken into custody. One year later, Ezekiel Khary Payton has been elected Governor, with Mercer as his lieutenant governor.

The Commonwealth, which now includes Alexandria as a willing participant and not a vassal, can finally begin to live up to its lofty ideals. The people of The Walking Dead now have a safe, stable, and fair community to call home.

Walking dead spoilers finale: The Walking Dead end shows

Alec Bojalad alecbojalad. Based in Cleveland, Ohio. Very upset about various sporting events. Skip to main content area. While Rick is shoeless and rocking a raggedy CRM bomber jacket, Michonne is sporting much nicer duds — she wears an ensemble that makes the katana-wielding warrior look like a cross between a samurai and Marvel superhero something Gurira knows a little something about.

It includes a badass hood and cage mask combo. Where did Michonne come across this battle-ready armor? Obviously, there's a lot going on, and that armor that she wears is part of a big story with her. The montage ends with Rick standing across the water from a decrepit looking city. But what city is it? While Gimple will not state definitively where Rick is, he offers a few clues: "You saw that black helicopter.

We know the helicopter is CRM. I mean, hell, we can see it on this jacket. So people could extrapolate beyond that, that the city may be associated with the CRM. On The Walking Dead: World Beyondthe CRM destroyed the city of Omaha using chlorine gas and covered up the assault by staging a large walker attack, so if you're looking for a city that has clearly seen better days and has a CRM connection, that could be it.

Notice the instrument Rick uses to smash the zombie skull resembles a similar device used by Silas and others to de-brain walkers on World Beyond.

But there is another World Beyond possibility as well. That series ended with the cast of plucky tykes saving the city of Portland from a similar fate as Omaha or so we thought. We know the CRM is heavily invested in Portland, and the city sits on both the Columbia and Willamette rivers, which could explain the water separating Rick from the ruins.

But before you lay all your money down on a World Beyond connection, wait! Gimple has more clues! People have seen that skyline referenced already in promotion. It's been referenced before. I think people could connect those dots. So let's connect them. Back in the summer ofit was announced that the first installment of what was then planned to be a trilogy of Rick Grimes movies would appear "only in theaters.

That skyline has been previously identified by online sleuths as… Philadelphia see video below. It looks like we may indeed see how much brotherly love Rick Grimes is feeling in the zombie apocalypse. The dude is shoeless, just had to ditch his bag with all his possessions, is surrounded by rotted corpses, totally needs a shower, and appears as if he is about to be apprehended yet again by the CRM, so why is the last image one of Rick Grimes smiling?

And Michonne is defiant. These people draw strength from this continuum of love that they have created out of nothing, or even out of tragedy and loss. Gimple continues: "And so he is totally screwed there — and I'm speaking like Ezekiel here — and yet he smiles, because he still has some fight in him, and he is not yet laying his head down.

And what gives him that is the same thing that gives Michonne the strength to go into that walker herd. And that gives Judith the strength to look at that future and say, 'We're the ones who live. So that smile is indicative of the strength that is drawn through 11 seasons of The Walking Dead. And now, more spin-off seasons to come.

Walking dead spoilers finale: Almost nobody dies in the series

I don't want to hurt like that. And I don't want my son to see that anyone has that kind of hold on me. If you and Annie want to stay, you've earned your place. Soon after, it's time to celebrate. The favorite characters gather for a meal much like the one Carl Grimes dreamed of just before his death. Everyone is hugging and laughing and eating and drinking.

And Daryl looks out the window to the ground below and catches Negan's eye. They exchange a nod, and Negan walks away. For good. Or, for now. But Rosita is sitting alone at the dinner table, and Gabriel notices, and soon everyone knows what's to come. She enjoys quiet and beautiful farewell moments with Maggie, Carol, Daryl, Coco and Gabriel, who prays over her in a true full-circle moment for his character.

Finally, Eugene sits beside walking dead spoilers finale. She turns to him and smiles: "I'm glad it's you in the end," she says, referring to the fact that he will have to stop her from turning into a walker once she's dead. One year later, Eugene places flowers beside a plaque dedicated to Rosita and other fallen favorites. Judith receives a compass and letter from Negan.

Maggie wants to chat about the future. And Daryl is ready to head out on a new adventure. He and Carol sit on a bench for one last chat. McBride was initially going to be costarring with Reedus on his spinoff. You took Hornsby's job and made it your own You made everything better. And you'll keep making it better. Judith and R. And then the conversation started.

Fans have been voicing their desire for Rick Grimes to return to The Walking Dead ever since, well, he left the show in season 9. In the series finale, they finally got their wish, as Andrew Lincoln reprised the role of the beloved character — and he wasn't the only one that made a comeback, either. The last time we saw Rick, he was whisked away in a helicopter by Jadis Pollyanna McIntosh and her morally questionable allies within the Civic Republic Military.

At the time, the former Deputy sheriff was gravelly injured, having been impaled on a metal rod while trying to divert a horde of walkers away from Alexandria's camp. Not to mention the fact that he was also caught in the explosion of the joint community bridge in his efforts to stop the swarm. But, back to 'Rest in Peace' After Daryl bikes off in search of life outside the Commonwealth's walls, Rick and Michonne Black Panther 's Danai Gurira are seen writing letters around a campfire.

It looks like they're together at first; Lincoln and Gurira narrating each characters' words — Rick writing to Michonne, while Michonne pens a letter to Judith. But that's proven not to be the case when Michonne stares lovingly at Rick's old boots, and the phone engraved with cartoons of herself and Judith, before it cuts to Rick and it's revealed he's in possession of the same mobile and boots.

Bundling everything in a bag, Rick — wearing a Civic Republic Military jacket — makes his way to a muddy waterfront, and stares out onto a desolated city skyline. Above, a helicopter hovers as a man shouts down: "Consignee Grimes, you have been located and are instructed to surrender. Come on, Rick. There's no escape for the living," the man in the helicopter continues via loudspeaker.

Rick grins and places his palms to the sky.

Walking dead spoilers finale: Rick finally got the Echelon Briefing

What's he planning? Talking to EW after the series finale aired, the franchise's chief content officer Scott Gimple, who is set to act as showrunner on Rick and Michonne's upcoming series, explained: "To finish the story of The Walking Dead, we needed Rick and Michonne. And to show Rick and Michonne, we had to show them in circumstances that they're in.

And it really was like, no matter where these characters are, the situations they're in, whether they're living or dead, they're forever connected by their time with each other. That they are part of a family that is unbreakable. And that is in some ways one long life, which is something thematically we have invoked throughout the series and in the even earlier moments of this finale.

That's what we started with. In her scenes, Michonne is seen donning a samurai-style get-up and riding toward an unfathomably large crowd of zombies. In the same interview, Gimple teased that there's "a story behind" Michonne's new clobber "that will be told" in her and Rick's show. Speaking of geography, it's likely that Rick is on Bloodsworth Island or on the outskirts of Philadelphia in this scene, given the city's skyline and the fact that the CRM's government is based there — something that was revealed in the second season of The Walking Dead: World Beyond.

The latter location was glimpsed in a trailer for the now-scrapped Rick Grimes movies, too, which is further evidence, and finally, Michonne stumbled across the boat containing Rick's belongings in Maryland, which shares a border with Pennsylvania. Before The Walking Dead's time-jump in season 9, Yumiko's group resided in a mansion just outside of Philadelphia.

We're unlikely to see the five of them in Rick and Michonne's show — it would've pretty mean not to mention him to Judith if they knew him way back when, but it cements the area's significance and connections to the main series. It turns out that The Walking Dead isn't well, dead, after all.
