1. When Will It Start To Knit Things Together?

The Walking Dead Swear Questions

This is the sixth episode to take place solely (or at least primarily) at a single location. Done well, it can provide an in-depth character study, or allow a major event the space it deserves. The show hasn't really done either so far. The closest it came was with The Well, and the events there haven't been followed up on yet.

The survivors are all very disparate at the moment, each with their own struggles against Negan but no cohesion, and in many cases no awareness that these other communities exist.

That'll need to change, and soon, if the show wants to build towards a conflict with the Saviours. Rick'll need to meet Ezekiel. In turn, they'll have to join up with the Hilltop. They'll all have to discover Oceanside. Maybe this is what they'll do in the mid-season finale? And if not then, when?

What questions did Swear leave you with? Let us know down in the comments.
