The Walking Deads Season 6 mid-season finale was one that etched up the tension as a horde of the undead descended on the once-safe community of Alexandria. As last weeks episode saw the communitys watchtower collapse and take down part of the safe havens walls, Start to Finish sees our group of grizzled series regulars trapped and outnumbered. Of course, Rick Grimes has a plan because well, because Rick Grimes. Harking back to familiar territory, Rick recreates a trick seen way back in the shows very first season: he decides that to escape, our group must cover themselves in undead innards. Nice. Elsewhere, tensions were brewing between Morgan and Carol, whilst the yellow-teethed, long-haired captive Wolf was an ominous presence lurking in the background of this episodes main narrative. By the time this suspense-filled mid-season finale came to a close, thered been plenty of WTF moments to take note of.
13. Sams Normalcy
Whilst Sam is without doubt a creepy, creepy kid (who is totally going to be at the root of some big problems when the show returns in February), it was an eerie moment to see the semblance of relative normalcy that he has upstairs in his home. And I dont mean normalcy as in standard The Walking Dead norm, but as in normal in a way that existed before the undead were shuffling around every street corner. If Tip-Toe Through The Tulips (which was also freakily used throughout the Insidious movie franchise) constantly playing wasnt surreal enough, we then see him idly drawing a picture whilst surrounded by a fire truck and some other generic kids toys. Sure, there are ants crawling in through the window, but the rest of the scene was just that of a regular kid doing relatively regular things: something that the series has rarely shown.
