The Walking Dead: 10 Greatest Rick Grimes Moments

After the horrors of Season 4, viewers got some reprieve in Season 5. Rick and the gang found Alexandria, a town relatively untouched by the outbreak. For a while everything went alright for the good guys, but, as they tend to in The Walking Dead, things eventually went to s**t.

Tensions had been brewing between Rick and the OG citizens of Alexandria for a while; Rick claimed their way of life was dying and they weren't prepared, but they saw him as being unhinged. During this time, Rick clashed with a guy named Pete, who was abusing his wife.

Rick was being pushed to his edge which, granted, after years of death and the Governor, was a lot closer than it used to be. He and Pete brawled in the streets of Alexandria and Rick got the better of him, before unloading on the townsfolk with a damning speech about them being weak and naive.

A few short days later, Pete would kill the husband of Alexandria leader, Deanna, who then gave Rick permission to finally end Pete's miserable existence. This felt like a passing of the torch in Alexandria, and a truly satisfying moment for Rick.
