@@kassiemontedoro4637They figured it out close to the end, laughed about it, and responded to all the commenters who probably left before they got to the revelation lmao. 33:20
@@Dylan_Thomas1 lol thanks! I made the comment as soon as they questioned him driving a stick. I actually thought it was funny because my husband did the exact same thing. He was like really, Rick would be able to drive a stick shift. And then when I reminded him he was missing his arm we had a good laugh about it.
Seeing Rick break down when talking about how he cant see Carl in his dreams broke me. I have never cried over a film or TV show before until now. Both Andrew and Denai deserve some type of reward. Also i just remembered that both Rick and Michonne dont know about The Commonwealth army. That could come into play at some point.
Andrew Lincoln obviously deserves his Emmy after this episode. Danai did a phenomenal job too by acting and writing!! Rick mentioning Carl even gets me in the feels. I'm so glad Rick is back to his normal self by the end!!!🙌
@@TheRealRickGrimes Cool that the showrunners trusted her with that. Was thinking the whole time it felt pretty huge for her character....and very, very different. The show needed it I think because they always felt more like close business partners than lovers.
This episode was perfection. One of the best episodes in the entire series.Danai’s writing was phenomenal in slowly breaking down Ricks trauma. Both Andy and Danai deserve ALL the awards next year ❤
The fact that Rick has been with the CRM for close to a decade is nuts. I don’t think people understand or even know that he was only with the original group (from the pilot until the bridge) for 4-5 years. He’s known the CRM way of life for longer than the one he had with Michonne and his own daughter!! He’s been brainwashed into this way of living.
Also, They used the song Tie a Yellow Ribbon which was a popular song during Vietnam. During the Vietnam era Americans tied yellow ribbons around trees and light poles as a sign that someone they loved was at war or a POW. Rick was a POW and after Michonne go through to him they left in a Yellow truck signifying that that POW is going home.
The fact that this is dialogue heavy and its one of the best episodes is a testament to how well written this was. Andy deserves an Emmy for acting and Danai for writing.
I had the same reaction at 16:26. What a gut punch! 😢 “What if I can’t figure out how to die all over again” broke me. I could actually feel my heart breaking. Give Andy Lincoln a damn Emmy and to Danai for writing this masterpiece.
What an incredible episode! You can tell Danai poured so much of her heart and soul into writing this episode, just as she and Andrew poured so much into their performances. They at least deserve an Emmy nomination after that!! The second they pulled out the drawing of Carl, I was a mess. Thanks for the reaction you guys
This is absolutely the best spinoff of them all. No doubt! So much is being told that we don't know about what went on during those 8 years. Danai and Andy are a wonderful team, the chemistry is palpable. This is what makes Rick and Michonne an unbeatable force!
I didn’t have to look that up cause obviously we knew he had one hand so he was obviously going to be limited to doing stuff that others with two hands could do more of regardless of ricks CRM training . There’s others that are just as trained as rick that have two hands that could be more capable especially the crm themselves being the ones that trained him . Ain’t no way you can constantly switch back and forth from having one hand on a steering wheel to the stick shift gears. Lmfao
Danai is a playwright as well. This really felt like to me, like I was at a professional theater house watching a Broadway/Off-Broadway play!!! Really awesome!
What a fucking episode. Danai did great writing it and Andy put out an Emmy worthy performance. No way can they wrap it in 2 episodes. I bet we get an announcement for a season 2 after amc sees how great the ratings and viewer ratings are
Lets be honest here...... AMC really has nothing brining eyes to their app or Channel. It should be a no brainer to renew this. But we have seen AMC do some odd things before lol.
@@BaddMedicine they haven’t had a show like this since better call Saul ended. I need a season 2!! If they do one, I really need Morgan to show up, bad
My prediction next episode jadis comes after them cause she's not convinced they are really dead michonne kills her now they have to go back get rid of the evidence use the gas in the car with the purple fire take out all the big wigs in that one location michonne and rick take off in a helicopter to go back home post credit scene morgan talks to Rick on the walkie and then season 2 announced
This episode was absolutely amazing. Danai did such a great job with the writing and her and Andy knocked it out of the park with the acting 🤌🏽. I was doing great until they brought up Carl, seeing those scenes broke me 😭 ugh I’m praying for another season 🙏🏼
My theory is Rickmgets "his" red stripped uniform when he takes it from Jadis. R & M hatch a plan to infiltrate CRM. All Rick needs is the uniform and helmet with the faceshield. The ethanol in the backseat of the truck could be used as a bomb at Summit.
Andrew Lincoln really is one of the best actors I’ve seen, I’ve loved Rick from day 1 and shipped Richonne and was super excited when they finally got together in Season 6 So seeing Rick break down about Carl really got to me, it felt so raw, real and authentic, of course Danai is also such an excellent actress and her emotional acting also felt super real The dialogue was so damn tight and well written, the conversations felt very realistic and so well done, you can tell Danai really understands the characters It was heartbreaking to see Rick so broken down and so scared of the CRM, but seeing him back to the Rick we know at the end of the episode and not wearing the uniform was so good too and the fact they were able to turn Rick into that in the first place just goes to know how powerful the CRM are and just adds all the more level of threat to them even though we’ve already seen just how dangerous they are Rick and Michonne have no idea about the commonwealth so they’d deffo have the numbers to stop them if they played it smart if it came down to that
The Ones Who Live actually feels just like the main show, where as the spin offs actually felt like spin offs. That's why I've been loving this show so much ❤😂
@@evilhellmusic8038it's like during the 4th harry potter movie, harry just vanishes for 3 movies. And calling the last film he returns a spin off lmao😂😂😂😂
@@benwarwick4290 yeah but to be fair it's called The Walking Dead: The Ones who Live It's not called The Walking Dead Which was the main show so technically this is a spinoff
What a phenomenal episode. The dialogue was brilliant. Wow. I would love to watch a series written by Danai. She does great dialogue and character-driven arcs. Great reaction!
Danai was show runner and writer of this episode. Great reaction! Excellent writing, acting, creativity! Danai and Andy know these characters backwards and forwards which made this episode so natural and realistic.
@@thatgirlwearingglasses4133 I know what I heard from the mouth of Scott Gimple a couple of times that for all intended purposes she was running episode 4. Her boss said it in their interview and at the panel after the premier. Just repeating what he said.
It's not that he can't drive stick, it's that he's missing a hand. Guess I should've watched until the end before making this comment haha. Diamond Dave knew..
Hey all! A suggestion, when Oak returns, it would be great to get his thoughts as well on episode 4 and 5! Being that E4 was close to masterclass and all 😃
It’s more about her being able to tell that his “loyalty” to the CRM is a lie, that’s why she keeps saying he’s lying to her and then himself. The breakdown at the end he admits that it’s his fear of losing her and grief of losing Carl and Carls memory that is really holding him back. For me this is one of the best emotional writing on tv. I was getting emotional when he broke down and admitted his fear but actually gasped and cried when she brought out the phone. Full on tears at the images of little Carl and older Carl. I knew something was coming but did not expect that.
This episode showed that Ricks fear and trauma was almost as equal an obstacle as the CRM. We also got to see the difference in their lives before the fall. Rick was a cop in rural Georgia who grew up on a farm and Michonne was a lawyer living in a high rise. We also see a call back to the time Rick was broken after Negan killed Glen and Abraham. Carl and Michonne had to convince Rick to finally fight back because Rick was trying to keep his group safe by getting Negan supplies. Rick was afraid to fight Negan for a while because his instinct is to protect his family same with the CRM. This episode was so great they deserve Emmy’s.
Rick is missing his hand, thats why he cant drive the manual transmission i think... lol just seen where u guys figured it out..lol .. Love the reactions!
19:00 and 19:12 it ending on a high note felt amazing...except during the episode insider, Gimple completely shits on that notion. "We probably should have ended it right there and everything would've been cool. But this is The Walking Dead." My heart fell out of my ass when he said that lol
When Rick tells Michonne that he started to forget her and Carl reminds me of when Judith tells Michonne that she was starting to forget Carls voice. But so many reminders of past episodes. The ending scene is reminiscent to how TS-19 ends with the group getting away while the CDC is destroyed. Amazing series so far.
We know there’s another season of “Daryl Dixon” coming with “The Carol Chronicles”, and supposedly there is a casting call out for walker extras for another season of “Dead City”… so hopefully they’ll keep going with “The Ones Who Live” as well. Also, have you guys noticed the episode titles harken back to the original show?
5:40 before what happens with the second helicopter coming in i was like i can just see Jadis saying before you blow up the evidence let me double check they are dead in there and not just by looking at it like what rick and michonne did okay they are dead lol
This was the most amazing episode. They deserve an Emmy for this episode. We got to see their trauma and how brick was the Walking Dead for the past 8 years.
Just a tidbit of Easter egg with the episode titles: Episode titles are 1. Years 2. Gone 3. Bye 4. What We 5. Become 6. The Last Time The pilot episode of the main show was titled: Days Gone Bye
Them talking about that building place failing I kinda feel like it might be foreshadowing. Because while she was talking about places wanting to do it their way I couldn't help but think about how Kingdom failed, the hill got crushed with whispers and don't recall if they rebuilt as lost interest in series. Alexander got taken over by that one group and them taking over that small town. Basically with all the twist and rug pulls with her saying she has been gone for a year and doesn't know if they are safe having them arrive at Alexandera and the town being abandon. After all Darrel and Carol have left.
I hope Michonne will tell Rick about Tara, Enid, Jesus, Henry, Dj and Siddiq, the sad thing both Rick and Michonne don’t know about Rosita, Beatrice, Laura and Alden
@@evilhellmusic8038 he died when Dante killed him, Michonne was traveling to Oceanside with Judith, Scott and Luke in season 10 episode 8, Magna told Michonne about Siddiq death on the walkie talkie
I’m not gonna lie, Rick was really pissing me off in this episode. Of course once i had a chance to reflect on the episode i see why he was such a b*tch, i was wrong. What an incredible performance by those two, I can’t wait til next episode. Them being on the road is my favorite part of TWD and I can’t wait to get some old school walking dead. Also, it’d be cool if they did make another season but they need close this season out with our damn reunion first. We can get into all the other stuff afterwards.
Thanks for the shoutout on the comics ending with the CW comment from last episode! I feel like Beale definitely has a lot of different aspects from various villains from the comic, but is probably most similar to Pamela Milton in the sense that she also controlled a large population of people and a "military". While The Governor and Negan didn't really have any redeeming qualities to their goals as a villain. Pamela sort of had that sense we see in a lot of antagonists today where there is some argument for why they do what they do, in Pamela's case it was her trying to rebuild society but keeping herself at the top by any means necessary and thus making her and the CW very corrupt. I feel that Beale kind of has similar intentions to Pamela in that sense, since he and the other higher ups know secrets about the CRM that even the actual city and governing body of the Civic Republic doesn't know so I feel like we are going to see a similar sense that Beale thinks that what they are doing are maybe "bad things" but for the greater good just like Pamela. However I also really feel like the writers are creating a lot of new aspects for this show including Beale and really trying to step away from the comics as the source of their material and just create what feels natural to them. I do think that eventually at the end of these spin-offs we will see either Judith or RJ (or both) basically take the spot of Carl in the comics when it jumps way far into the future, where Judith or RJ are telling their kids the story of their father Rick and how he basically "saved the world" or at least made it a better place. All in all I am absolutely loving this series, I think its some of the best walking dead we've had since probably season 8 and I really hope that they would just combine the other two spinoffs into this one and bring the entire cast back for one final Huzzah!
There were a couple scenes that gave me a "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" vibe. Coincidentally, or not, Mr. and Mrs. Smith came on after the second showing last night.
It's kind of stupid that both Rick and Michonne don't know about the commonwealth and that their people live there, and even if they don't live there, the other small communities are somehow with the commonwealth and it's big enough to be accepted as a possible threat to CRM that destroy it with chlorine gas unlike the small communities that the CRM would not bother about if they did not have information that they know about them without being their collaborators like the jadis community. So my hypothesis is that CRM will initially send a CRM agent to scout the commonwealth like huck in world beyond who will detect Rick or Michonne if they ever come home.
Dana was awesome for this episode acting and the writing! I am scared for the ending of the show because Gimble mentioned when asked about the happy ending of this he said Well It is The Walking Dead World!! So hopefully they will be okay!
I feel like another foreshadowing of Morgan is Michonne using staffs. She’s a katana girl, so I expected her to secure the chef knife to the lamp pole.
I think the episode ending on a high note could only make sense for this episode with it being the love story one, they had a few classic romance story moments in here that was cool to see in TWD
"This is getting annoying from Rick" Do you people not realize hes spent more time with the CRM than he has all of seasons 1-9? We watched him for years so we have expectations but yall forget those were just a couple years. His time at the CRM is double that
22:02 i believe the reason he couldnt drive stick is because of his hand but maybe im wrong? He's also of an age where i dont think its even really possible that he didnt learn stick.
I loved this episode but I have one question. Rick grew up on a farm but he never helped or talked to Maggie and Hershel about that? Her shell had to teach Rick how to do farm work when they were at 5he prison?
Rick coudrive the stick shift because he only has use of his right hand, which would control the stick but his left hand is missing so he can’t steer the wheel…
I reckon I’d want to keep the special anti walker clothing from the CRM myself 🤷🏻♀️ Thank you so much for doing these, I can’t get the show in the U.K.

Rick couldn’t drive stick because he only had one hand. I had to look it up on “TWD wiki” and it confirmed he switched because he only has one hand.
That's what I thought too. I never even considered he might not know how.

Basically with all the twist and rug pulls with her saying she has been gone for a year and doesn't know if they are safe having them arrive at Alexandera and the town being abandon. After all Darrel and Carol have left.
I hope Michonne will tell Rick about Tara, Enid, Jesus, Henry, Dj and Siddiq, the sad thing both Rick and Michonne don’t know about Rosita, Beatrice, Laura and Alden
Hell they don’t even know about judith getting shot. I can’t wait til some of those events start getting to Rick and Michonne, they missed so much.
I thought Siddiq died while Michonee was away, does she even know he died? I can't remember
@@evilhellmusic8038 Yes, Michonne knows. He even appears in Michonne’s last episode 10x13 as a hallucination
@@evilhellmusic8038 he died when Dante killed him, Michonne was traveling to Oceanside with Judith, Scott and Luke in season 10 episode 8, Magna told Michonne about Siddiq death on the walkie talkie
Y’all made me late from lunch when I seen that reaction. Knew y’all would appreciate this episode. This episode was amazing. Hell entire season
I’m not gonna lie, Rick was really pissing me off in this episode. Of course once i had a chance to reflect on the episode i see why he was such a b*tch, i was wrong. What an incredible performance by those two, I can’t wait til next episode. Them being on the road is my favorite part of TWD and I can’t wait to get some old school walking dead. Also, it’d be cool if they did make another season but they need close this season out with our damn reunion first. We can get into all the other stuff afterwards.
It was a great character episode! Great writing, great acting. You know what else has great acting and writing... Banshee! You need to react to it!!!
I think every woman felt M's frustration with Rick 😂😂😂 im catching up
Thanks for the shoutout on the comics ending with the CW comment from last episode! I feel like Beale definitely has a lot of different aspects from various villains from the comic, but is probably most similar to Pamela Milton in the sense that she also controlled a large population of people and a "military". While The Governor and Negan didn't really have any redeeming qualities to their goals as a villain. Pamela sort of had that sense we see in a lot of antagonists today where there is some argument for why they do what they do, in Pamela's case it was her trying to rebuild society but keeping herself at the top by any means necessary and thus making her and the CW very corrupt. I feel that Beale kind of has similar intentions to Pamela in that sense, since he and the other higher ups know secrets about the CRM that even the actual city and governing body of the Civic Republic doesn't know so I feel like we are going to see a similar sense that Beale thinks that what they are doing are maybe "bad things" but for the greater good just like Pamela. However I also really feel like the writers are creating a lot of new aspects for this show including Beale and really trying to step away from the comics as the source of their material and just create what feels natural to them. I do think that eventually at the end of these spin-offs we will see either Judith or RJ (or both) basically take the spot of Carl in the comics when it jumps way far into the future, where Judith or RJ are telling their kids the story of their father Rick and how he basically "saved the world" or at least made it a better place. All in all I am absolutely loving this series, I think its some of the best walking dead we've had since probably season 8 and I really hope that they would just combine the other two spinoffs into this one and bring the entire cast back for one final Huzzah!
There were a couple scenes that gave me a "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" vibe. Coincidentally, or not, Mr. and Mrs. Smith came on after the second showing last night.
I read dis and chuckled..
Nope!
Really well written episode. Great job Danai!
Great episode & great monologue. The song at end “Asibe Happy” tune of the series 😊❤
Guys….its not that Rick can’t drive a stick shift, he’s missing a hand! Lol😂
I'm with you guys I didn't even realize that's why he couldn't drive a stick either 😂
It's kind of stupid that both Rick and Michonne don't know about the commonwealth and that their people live there, and even if they don't live there, the other small communities are somehow with the commonwealth and it's big enough to be accepted as a possible threat to CRM that destroy it with chlorine gas unlike the small communities that the CRM would not bother about if they did not have information that they know about them without being their collaborators like the jadis community. So my hypothesis is that CRM will initially send a CRM agent to scout the commonwealth like huck in world beyond who will detect Rick or Michonne if they ever come home.
What an amazing episode! But I'm scared to see what's to come now ❤
Lmaoooo you guys correctly predicted the comments too 😂
I didn't think many stuck around for that part 😂😂😂😂
Ricks missing a hand. Thats why he cant drive a stick 😂😂😂
Did anyone catch when Rick yelled "helicopter" that his real accent came out?
Yeah I noticed that too. 😄
It is so nice to see Diamond Dave turn giddy like a kid on Christmas morning again 🎉
🤜🤛
Dana was awesome for this episode acting and the writing! I am scared for the ending of the show because Gimble mentioned when asked about the happy ending of this he said Well It is The Walking Dead World!! So hopefully they will be okay!
I feel like another foreshadowing of Morgan is Michonne using staffs. She’s a katana girl, so I expected her to secure the chef knife to the lamp pole.
The best part..."HE doesn't have a HAND!!!" 😂
Hope The Oak see that xD
You'll get a laugh at 33:20
You don't think the Commonwealth's military might be able to stand against them?
4:58 Michonne like when she did that is he your man and still carried on to ask to lay down with you i should have done it there and then lol
of course danai would make sure carl gets the mention he deserves in this episode
I think the episode ending on a high note could only make sense for this episode with it being the love story one, they had a few classic romance story moments in here that was cool to see in TWD
My favorite WD episode, the dialogue, acting, all of it!!
"This is getting annoying from Rick"
Do you people not realize hes spent more time with the CRM than he has all of seasons 1-9?
We watched him for years so we have expectations but yall forget those were just a couple years.
His time at the CRM is double that
I see someone didn't watch the review. 😂🤙
@@BaddMedicine I commented as I was watching
But left it because I still see people saying this
Rick couldn’t drive the stick shift because his hand is gone 😂.
He couldn't drive a stick because he only has ONE HAND!!
Rick couldn't drive stick because of his severed hand. He definitely knows how to.
33:20 😂
I want that apartment so bad. I'll take it once those two are done doin' it in there.
I'm worried that Rick not being able to drive the car will become a problem in the future.
Automatic cars only probably
He can drive just he's missing a hand & that car had a stick
I know.. I'm saying if they only have THAT car, it could be a problem if he can't drive it.
@@fatherbewithme
I know. I'm saying, if they only have THAT car, it could be a problem because he can't drive it. @@fatherbewithme
Alexandria cannot be torn down because there is regular people live there.
22:02 i believe the reason he couldnt drive stick is because of his hand but maybe im wrong? He's also of an age where i dont think its even really possible that he didnt learn stick.
There's got to be a tracker in that thing that Rick wanted
One of my favorite episodes in such a long time 💕💕
Literally my first thought as soon as I started the video was “where’s Oak???”😂
Rick knows how to drive stick shift, but he's one handed.
Edit: Glad you guys caught on there 😆
While one-handed stick shift driving is possible you have to reach across your your body to shift, which I don't think would be very easy.
I loved this episode but I have one question. Rick grew up on a farm but he never helped or talked to Maggie and Hershel about that? Her shell had to teach Rick how to do farm work when they were at 5he prison?
Per usual, a very thoughtfully done review, Fellas.
It’s not that Rick doesn’t know how to drive stick shift, he only has one hand. Stick requires two.
33:20 😂🤙
Rick coudrive the stick shift because he only has use of his right hand, which would control the stick but his left hand is missing so he can’t steer the wheel…
I'm just left breathless,I CAN'T BREATHE WATCHING RICHONNE,ITS JUST SOOOOO BEAUTIFUL 🔥🔥💪🏻💪🏿😘😍💞JUST EPIC 💋
beale reminds me of Douglas Monroe founder of alexandria in the comics
How did I only just get that because Rick doesn't have another hand he can't drive a manual car!!! Thanks for pointing that out!
Such an emotional elisode. 💔 😭❤
I reckon I’d want to keep the special anti walker clothing from the CRM myself 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you so much for doing these, I can’t get the show in the U.K.
