6) How Long Has Gregory Got Left As Hilltop’s Leader?
Anyone who was hoping to see Alexandria, Hilltop and The Kingdom immediately unite to take down Negan would have been disappointed by the difficulty Rick and the others have in convincing Gregory and Ezekiel to join their cause in this episode.
We’ll get to The Kingdom in a minute, but for the Hilltop, it’s Gregory’s cowardice that stops the community from joining with Rick and waging war on the Saviors. A number of Hilltop’s citizens are losing faith in Gregory, though, and announce that they’re now siding with Rick.
If Gregory’s losing his hold on the community, his days as their leader could be numbered. We’ve been expecting this for a while now, though, with Maggie the natural successor to his position since she’s gained a lot of popularity amongst the Safe Zone’s people.
So, how soon or far away is Maggie’s coup for leadership? We hope it’s sooner rather than later, as it’s definitely well past time that the useless, creepy Gregory got his comeuppance. Don’t you think?
