SPOILERS for The Walking Dead Episode 6.1 “Last Time Again”

AMC’s The Walking Dead Episode 6.1 “Last Time Again,” the 90-minute season premiere, aired last night and it was awesome!!! Season 5 went out with the bang, literary, and the season had spent many episodes on Rick and his possible loss of humanity. Most of us who’ve followed this leader for five seasons understand what he’s been through and the decisions he’s had to make to save his group, and I for one would follow him to the ends of the earth. It’s obvious that so would his close circle — like Michonne, Glenn, and Carol — but the citizens of the Alexandria Safe Zone don’t know Rick like we do. To them, he’s an outside who seems to choose force over reason. But, with this premiere, all the residents are finally on the same page — Rick knows what’s he’s doing, he knows what’s he’s talking about, and he has a major plan to keep them all safe. Now, it’s time to enact that plan – ready or not.

The network has released the “most talked about scene” from the episode, which dealt with Rick having to quickly put Carter out of his misery. AMC has also released two behind-the-scenes featurettes — one is a 4 1/2-minute “Making of” featurette about filming the quarry scene, while the other is a 5 1/2-minute “Inside Look” at where the characters are at the start of Season 6; Rick’s reunion with Morgan; and how the group is going to handle the imminent breach at the quarry.

Warning – SPOILERS for The Walking Dead Episode 6.1 “First Time Again.”

The end of Season 5 of The Walking Dead taught us that even after all the horrors people have faced in this post-apocalyptic world, that not only is redemption possible, but so is the ability to trust. In the premiere of Season 6, these themes are continued. Plus, it’s confirmed that, more than ever, Rick Grimes is always right.

The second part of Season 5 was centered on Rick and his conflict with the residents of the Alexandria Safe Zone. The residents had been hold up in the community since the beginning of the zombie outbreak, so they have no experience actually combatting the Walkers, and they find Rick’s survival tactics to be overly aggressive. Meanwhile, Rick thinks the Zonies are too complacent, and that is what will eventually get them all killed.

The 90-minute Season 6 premiere, “First Time Again,” is broken up between black and white flashbacks to the events starting from the minutes right after the Season 5 finale, and present-day Safe Zone, where, thankfully, everyone is finally on the same page.

SPOILERS for The Walking Dead Season 5 Finale Episode 516 “Conquer.”

AMC’s The Walking Dead Season 5 Finale — Episode 516 “Conquer” — aired on Sunday night and thankfully, we didn’t get the usual heartbreaking shockers that typically accompany these final episodes. Instead, we got, what I felt was, a perfect ending to a great season, especially these last few episodes.

The network has released the “most talked about scene” from the episode, which centered on the town meeting, where Rick’s fate was to be decided. AMC has also released two behind-the-scenes featurettes — one is a 3-minute “Making of” featurette on the booby trap scene, while the other is a 5 1/2-minute “Inside Look” at what was going on at the Alexandria Safe Zone, as well as what Daryl and Aaron came up against on the outside.

Warning – Spoilers for The Walking Dead Season 5 Finale – Episode 516 “Conquer.”

For tonight’s Season 5 finale of AMC’s The Walking Dead, the showrunners promised us blood. They promised us loss. And we got both of those things in Episode 516 “Conquer.” But, for this final installment of the season, we also saw redemption, forgiveness, and enlightenment, as well as a look at some of the real horrors that await the residents — both original and new — of the Alexandria Safe Zone.

It’s well known that fans of The Walking Dead have every intension of rioting if one of the main, fan-favorite characters dies. The show has made it a habit of shockingly killing off some of the beloved people who we’re just not ready to say good-bye to. Thankfully, for the season finale, they didn’t pull that gimmick. Instead, we see the culmination and resolution of some of the biggest, most contentious relationships and situations of this season.

Last night’s Episode 515 “Try” of AMC’s The Walking Dead saw Rick’s group in danger of losing their place at the Alexandria Safe Zone. They should feel safe and contented there, but they’ve been through too much to get comfortable, especially Rick, who we saw is a lot more damaged than we thought. He’s worried and he’s got a right to be, he’s just not going about getting his point across in the proper manner.

Next week marks the 90-minute Season 5 finale of The Walking Dead. AMC has released the first sneak peek of the season finale, Episode 516 “Conquer,” which sees Maggie coming to Rick’s defense to Deanna, but a decision must still be made.

Watch the sneak peek video here below, along with a teaser promo.
