The Walking Dead Recap and Review: Season 6 Episode 6

This season of The Walking Dead has been absolutely incredible and I couldn't be more happy about this season.  With every season of this show and every episode the story line gets better and more intense.  This season we have seen the group with their struggles in and out of Alexandria and we have seen how much the group has come together and developed new relationships, and also had relationships change from last season.  The last episode we see the group struggle so much trying to fight for Alexandria, and this episode we continue to see that struggle grow.  We see a lot of Daryl, Sasha, and Abraham in this episode as they encounter some obstacles.

Recap
The episode starts with Cars Started shooting at Sasha, Abraham, and Daryl then Daryl just takes off and falls off his bike and there is a rotting zombie right next to him with a helmet on.  Daryl feels like he's being followed and then finds two girls and then a man comes up behind him and hits him in the head.  He wakes up and then are all by a fire and he is tied up.  Then they are walking and taking Daryl to some group they are part of.  They seem to think that Daryl belongs to someone, or that he's part of some kind of group.  The thought crossed my mind and they think that Daryl is a wolf.  Daryl eventually escapes and then takes off with their bag because his crossbow is in it and then sees that there is also a cooler of insulin, and then of course the man that Daryl is he isn't going to just leave with someones insulin even if they did shoot and him and his friends and kidnap him.  Daryl brought back the insulin to them and then some people got out of the truck and told the people Daryl was with he owed them. They escaped and now all of a sudden these people were allies with Daryl instead of kidnapping him. They realize that Daryl was not part of the group he thought he was.  Throughout the episode we see flashes of Sasha and Abraham, and we start to see them develop a bond that we have never seen before.  Abraham also almost kills himself with a flamethrower because of a zombie about to fall with one on his back, but it ends up being ok and he now has a flamethrower.  I have a feeling this could be very useful back at Alexandria with all the zombies lurking.   Almost the whole episode we see Daryl's struggle with these people at one way or another and towards the end he loses his most prized possession besides the crossbow.  At the end, the two people who took Daryl turn their backs on him and take his bike after pretending to be allies after kidnapping him.  Luckily, the only casualty this episode was one of the girls in the group with Daryl.  Daryl started asking the guy in the group the questions rick asks people before he lets them into their home.  And then he tells him that he lives in a safe place and people are what they were.  They took his bike and then said sorry and left.  Daryl then found a huge truck and went and picked up Sasha and Abraham and then that concludes last weeks episode.

Review
I thought this was an amazing episode and I would rate this episode a 10 out of 10.  Most of the time I end up rating The Walking Dead a 10 out of 10 because it is so amazing.  Even though it seemed like spending a whole episodes on these strangers will Daryl seemed a bit much I think they will tie into the story line with Negan and this was a very important episode for down the road.  With wanting to know so badly about what happens to Glenn, its easy to not care about what else is going on, but I think this episode started to give us some insight to what might happen in the future.  I thought it was interesting that Daryl never told the people who tried to kidnap him that he wasn't part of the group that they thought he was and let them figure it out on their own.  I have always thought that this made Daryl's character so unique but I figured he would tell them being kidnapped.  One thing I loved about this story and a piece of tonights episode was Sasha and Abrahams romance. I have never really liked him and  Rosita as a match. You don't get the same feel like you do with Glenn and Maggie or even Tara and the Doctor.  But Sasha and Abraham do give me that vibe, and I think their chemistry is amazing.  I thought it was good to see a little humor when they said he had things to take care of when he got home meaning that he had some breaking up to do with Rosita.  I did love seeing Daryl the entire episode since it has been a while since he was the main focus.  Scott Gimple said that we would know what happened to Glenn before the end of the year, and tonights episode will be before the end of the year.
