I can't not hear Optimus Prime.
Anyway... *sigh* this was the moment in the comics when I realized no one is truly ever safe, and the anxiety just built from there. Looks like the show is going to follow suit. I'm glad. I think they've done an excellent job covering so much ground with just these two seasons. Nothing feels rushed or too glossed over. I am a happy comic book reader.
But man the lizard people attack freakin' scarred me for life when I read it. It's one of those issues I still think about every now and then. It's horrifying. And somehow the showrunners just made it even harder to digest somehow (pun not intended).
The last act was certainly very entertaining and uncomfortable and anxiety-inducing, but there are plenty of other great moments here too. I loved all of the motherly stuff. I loved Mark's conversation with his brother's mom, and I loved Mark and Debbie's moments too.
Rex and Eve also have a surprisingly touching moment (and a callback to the Atom-Eve special so hope you watched that). I really do like what they've done with Rex in this show. He's funnier and way more likable here than he was in Kirkman's comic run.
And I'm also relieved Allen the Alien is still alive and better than ever. I'm glad they've not abandoned that arc from the comics. People are in for a real treat with him!
Anyway, loved the episode. I really hope we don't get any more mid-season breaks though. I'll stick with this series because I'm obsessed with the comics and so far the show as well, but I'd imagine the hype is starting to die down for many who waited 2-3 years for another season and couldn't even get it all up front.
