Last weeks season opener was a solid return for The Walking Dead, although at times it felt as if it was setting things up for what was just around the corner. Well, weve certainly been dragged hard round that corner and given a ferocious, intense and violent episode with JSS. Bloodshed and savagery were the order of the day as Alexandria came under attack from the much-anticipated Wolves and The Walking Dead turned up the action to 11. With plenty of WTF moments dotted throughout its runtime, JSS saw the sh*t well and truly hit the fan a little sooner than some of us thought. Sure, Season 6 was always going to feature the safe haven of Alexandria take a battering at some point, but the frenetic and energetic way in which it all kicked off in just the seasons second episode was alarming yet exciting. So with that said, heres some of the most shocking moments that JSS had to offer.
14. Enid's Story
Until now, many have seen Enid as a stroppy teenager who likely listens to too much My Chemical Romance, but the cold, hard opening of JSS saw us get a glimpse into the poor girls backstory. Showing us a snippet of how Enids parents ended up as walker chow, JSS delivered an impactful opening that highlighted how brutal the walkers can be at times. This world is one that has certainly gone to the dogs, and the sudden (and likely gruesome) demise of Enids parents only served to reinforce how quickly things can change. Added to that, this opening was one of the more memorable and hard-hitting opening of any Walking Dead episode to date.
