The Walking Dead Season 7: Episode 16, a surprise for Negan, our critic

Season 7 of The Walking Dead ended last night on AMC with a surprising final season which you can not discover our criticism!
No you do not dream, last night AMC has already broadcast the last episode of season 7 of The Walking Dead . “The First Day of the Rest of Your Life” has fulfilled its promises with action, a certain outcome and a strong foundation for Season 8 and we invite you to discover our criticism. Warning, the article will contain spoilers on the episode. As the spoilers had foreseen, it was a Sasha in the dark who listened to the music found in the opening scene and those who had read them knew what would follow: the surprise return of Michael Cudlitz under the Features of Abraham . Throughout the episode, Sasha and he spoke to each other and their tender and sunny scenes contrast sharply with the rest of the action, Episode in a sometimes strange way. She tells him that she dreamed that he was dead and the way it was shown made sure that it might as well be a pre-season flashback 7 in which Sasha was particularly perceptive that d A hallucination caused by what she knows.
Maggie is also very present in Sasha’s thoughts and the end of the episode shows us how important her character is later on, but we’ll come back to it later. Because in Alexandria, we are plunged back and forth directly – even a little too much – with Rick, Daryl, Michonne, Jesus, Rosita and Tara questioning Dwight who explains that he is there because Sheryl is gone. Denise’s death still hangs over Tara who encourages Daryl to kill him but the war against the Saviors prevails and Dwight is a definite advantage for them. Meanwhile at the Sanctuary and since the scenes of Sasha in the dark are actually flashforwards, Negan gives her a visit and ends up signing a deal with her: only one person will die to get the message out to Rick . We can already see in Sasha’s eyes that she decided who would be the unfortunate victim and it is therefore not surprising that she is seen taking the pill of Eugene once installed in the coffin that brings her back to Alexandria. At Hilltop and the Kingdom, things are moving and we regret that we did not see the organization of the different communities that had to happen partly off screen.
The gathering of the Scavengers of Jadis, of Hilltop of which Maggie took control and Kingdom is done quickly and creates at the beginning of the episode a rhythm a little jerky which gives the impression of having missed things. The episode still takes time to show us a scene as funny as unexpected when the arrival of Jadis who asks Michonne if it’s problem for her that she sleeps with Rick after the battle, normal . Rick and Michonne are equally uncomfortable with each other and the scene would surely have seemed more funny if Jadis did not end up shamefully betraying Rick once Negan on the spot. If the beginning of the episode seemed to us to take place in jerks, the last part caught up with all this. The arrival of Eugene and his speech, the betrayal of Jadis and the new deal of Negan: Everything goes together perfectly. And things accelerate when Negan opens the coffin and discovers a zombified Sasha throwing himself at him, the only major death of season finale season 7 of The Walking Dead . We suspected that she could not kill him but we admit that we dreamed a little bit of it for a few seconds …
Carl takes advantage of the surprise effect and pulls the first, triggering a disorganized chaos during which one wonders how the survivors manage to distinguish their friends from their enemies. The attempt to attack eventually failed and ended with Rick and Carl on their knees before Negan, and a new promise: Carl’s death. Rick’s reply has less effect on Negan – and on us – than in the first season, and we thank Shiva for making a shattering entry . The special effects team went out of their way to show us the tigress devour some Saviors and we hope to see a little more in the sequel. The arrival of the Kingdom, followed by that of Maggie and Hilltop change the situation and allow our heroes to regain the upper hand and make flee a Negan who has the nerves. The season ends in a very nuanced way, on a half-victory for Rick but with the loss of Sasha and a betrayal that hurts. Yet Rick and Maggie’s speech that accompanies us to the last few seconds proves that Glenn’s soul is still present in the series and stresses that hope is reborn and that it is ready to fight that we will find them all in The season 8. AMC offered us an episode with the strange rhythm that catches up well on the end bringing us – finally! – the long awaited action and the beginning of a war that we are already looking forward to.
