6) What’s Happening At Hilltop And The Kingdom?
With such devastation to deal with, this episode was completely set in one single location. While that was definitely the right move, it does leave us wondering what’s going on with the other characters in the other locations out there.
For instance, what’s next for the Hilltop colony, that of course has history with Negan? In particular, what role will Jesus fill in the upcoming season? He’s only appeared a couple of times so far, so we would expect this popular character in the source material to have an increased presence from now on. Will he take Daryl’s place in the team?
We’ll also be introduced to the Kingdom next episode, where we will meet Ezekiel and his CGI tiger Shiva, two popular figures from the comics who fans are excited to see realized on screen. We know that Morgan and Carol are there too, so how are they getting on after their own bad experiences last season? More importantly, how will they react when they find out about Glenn and Abraham?
