The 5 most insane moments from last night's 'Walking Dead'
Spoiler alert! The following contains details from Sunday night's The Walking Dead.
There's only one episode left in the first part of The Walking Dead's fifth season, and man-oh-man is the show making us anxious about it. In the second-to-last episode this fall, "Crossed," the show totally upped the ante on its zombie-disgusting meter and set the table for what is sure to be an intense finale. Here's what had us jumping out of our seats Sunday night:
1. Maggie takes charge
When did Maggie become almost as awesome as Carol? The elder Greene sister totally took charge of our broken survivors on the road. She's caring for I'm-not-a-scientist-but-at-least-I-have-a-mullet Eugene, she's sending people for water and she's keeping Sgt. Abraham in check. When he angrily approached Rosita and Maggie pointed her gun at him and said "Sit down or I’ll put you down," we were practically standing up on our chairs cheering for her.
2. Melted zombies are the grossest zombies
The image of that one skeletal arm waving around with the rest of its body stuck to the ground is going to haunt our nightmares forever. No exaggeration.
3. Zombie heads make effective weapons
When Daryl got jumped by the Grady cop in the field of melted zombies, he found himself pinned to the ground dangerously close to half a melted zombie. Without any other weapons in sight, Daryl freaking grabbed the zombie head by the eye sockets and clonked the Grady cop with it. Yeah, we were screaming. You were, too. Don't lie.
4. Rick stands down
This is why you keep Daryl around. After Daryl got his zombie-head-clonking on, Rick came in with a gun to save him from the cop. But after the cop surrendered it really looked like Rick was going to kill him, the same way he killed all those Terminus cannibals back in the church. But Daryl, who saved Noah last week when he didn't have to, was there to keep Rick from pulling the trigger. Maybe there's hope for Deputy Grimes yet.
5. Never trust a hostage, even if he seems nice
Okay, we saw this coming a mile away, but that doesn't mean it wasn't still rough to see Bob the cop slam Sasha into that window. With everything she's going through right now (RIP Bob not the cop), we can't imagine this helping her emotional state, or helping Rick and co. save Carol and Beth. Something big is going to have to happen next week, and we're worried about who's going to survive it.
