Here, in order of importance, are some of the many game-changing or game-revealing moments in tonight's episode 8.5 of The Walking Dead. Nah, they're all so important, I can't logically rank them. So I'll give them the good old bullet treatment:
- That flying machine that Rick saw overhead - that could definitely change everything. Any sign of advanced civilization - i.e., our world, as it is now, or before the plague, in The Walking Dead, is a big deal.
- Eugene figured out that Dwight is the turncoat, Given Negan's little talk with Eugene at the end, the pressure is really turned up. It will be tempting indeed for Eugene to turn Dwight in - unless his superior intellect tells him that Negan (the one Negan) will lose in the end. My best bet is ... well, too close to call, but at this point I'd give Eugene protecting Dwight the slight edge (I haven't read the comics).
- Negan's confession to Gabriel: Negan admits weakness because he couldn't bring himself to end his first wife, who was sick and presumably dying, after the plague had started. Not the most earthshaking confession. But, from Negan, anything of this sort is fairly astounding.
- Speaking of Gabriel: what is his ailment that we see so vividly at the end? The strong implication is that he was bitten, but .... well, that hasn't happened to one of major characters in a long time, which makes it even more likely now.
- Back to Rick: he and Daryl actually come to blows, and - unsurprisingly - neither gets a clear win, though Daryl comes out slightly ahead. It was a good scene.
