Sixty minutes into the new season and the survivors are already colossally screwed. The creators wasted no time messing around with The Walking Dead's Season 6 opener, providing a huge walker injection that will provide death and chaos in abundance as the weeks roll by. As far as Season Premieres go, that's about as good as you could expect, with plenty of encouraging notes for TWD's enormous fanbase to mull over. There are already some big talking points ahead of Episode 2, but what exactly did the first glimpse of Season 6 get right?
10. Unified Group
After five entire seasons of civil war within the group, this episode displayed a unified group working as a unit to achieve one goal, and that's a mighty relief. If the group were still in disarray, the whole episode would've felt like a case of deja vu, but now things feel fresh and exciting. Rick vs. The World is the show's perennial Plan B, meaning that if things go wrong for the group, they all turn against their leader and that provides a few episodes worth of content. Thankfully the old regulars are essentially a family now, and the Alexandrians are finally coming around to the harsh realities of the new world. A unified group is already a great step in the right direction for the show.
