Fans Loved ‘The Walking Dead’ Midseason Premiere for Good Reason

The Walking Dead returned from winter hiatus, and according to Twitter, the premiere episode was not only “one of the greatest and best filmed,” it was also pretty explosive. The episode, titled “No Way Out,” picked up right where the last episode left off — with Daryl, Sasha, and Abraham being stopped by some of Negan’s crew. Unfortunately for the bad guys, Daryl used a rocket launcher to help get his buddies and himself out of the jam.

Rick and his small gang were wearing walker guts and tiptoeing through a crowd of walkers when Sam freaked out. This turned out to be a mistake as one of the walkers bit Sam’s forehead off. Stricken by grief, Sam’s mom, Jessie, started freaking out and was also eaten. After seeing his last two family members killed, Ron pulled a gun on Rick. Michonne killed Ron with her sword, but he still managed to get off one shot and it went right through Carl’s eye. He lived, but he’s not gonna have any depth perception.

In a fit of rage, Rick attacked the horde of walkers, and the townspeople were so inspired that they joined him in his fight. Just when it seemed like everyone from Alexandria was about to die, Daryl and the gang showed up and saved the day. They poured a bunch of gas into the lake, lighted it up, and drew the walkers in like moths to a flame.

The Walking Dead airs Sundays at 9 p.m. on AMC.
