Another aspect of this story that was hard to believe was that someone was carrying around two sets of roller skates in a backpack during the zombie apocalypse. And did Carl actually destroy a car to kill one zombie? Perhaps that one we can chalk up to teenage recklessness and male bravado. She must be getting soft because that’s not the action of someone who wants to J.S.S.
Enid hears a zombie and stops to get off her bike instead of riding on. On the other hand, there are aspects of this narrative that are unrealistic at best. Maybe now that she’s in Hilltop with foster mom Maggie, her more dynamic side will be revealed. Don’t let Enid fall prey to the role of a female character used to further the plot of a male character (e.g. Maybe give her some real agency, or at least some additional dialogue. We kinda love the Carl/Enid narrative, but hopefully The Walking Dead will develop Enid on her own a bit more. Assuming Carl survives his trip to kill Negan, let’s hope there’s more skating in these kids’ future. After some hand-holding and baring of souls, it becomes clear that Carl has his own agenda. Their transportation devolves from bicycling and driving to walking and roller skating. Then he remembers that he’s a teenage boy and follows her anyways. Carl tries to stop her with a weak protest that he’s not saving her anymore. Meanwhile, Enid’s had enough of Alexandria and wants to go to the Hilltop to see Maggie. Michonne wants to figure some things out, as she’s not sure she can support Rick’s plan to submit. Rick and Aaron are going out to scavenge for supplies to satisfy the Saviors’ weekly demands. Everyone seems to want to get away from Alexandria. AlexandriaĪfter witnessing the dejected atmosphere in Alexandria in “ Service,” it’s good to get away from that community for a bit. There are a few heartbreakingly emotional moments-hearing the baby’s heartbeat, Maggie and Sasha at the burial site, the necklace Rosita made for Abraham, Carl talking about what he witnessed, and Maggie telling Gregory that her name is Maggie Rhee. There’s even a little romance, as Enid tries to convince Carl not to go after Negan. The drama around Maggie and Sasha staying at the Hilltop is accentuated by a visit from the Saviors. There’s an exciting action scene with a Finlandia-fueled walker invasion of the Hilltop. Martin and Powell give us a little bit of everything. They provide some of the beautiful road scenes we’ve been missing on The Walking Dead, even allowing us a moment of joy as Enid and Carl roller skate down the roadway holding hands. “Go Getters” was helmed by new series director Darnell Martin ( Law & Order, Grimm) and experienced series writer Channing Powell ( Remember, Heads Up, East). After several weeks of dread and despair, both during and after the show, “Go Getters” weaves a rich story that allows us to embrace a full range of emotions.
With the exception of “ The Well,” the pacing of The Walking Dead in Season 7 hasn’t always given us time to breathe, let alone think and feel. Maggie: “What do you have to remember them by?” Jesus: “The idea was just to keep going.” The dead abound, both in memory and as walkers, but “Go Getters” focuses on how the living move forward. While the fate of Maggie and Sasha is determined, Enid and Carl take a journey to the Hilltop. The Saviors aren’t going away anytime soon, and the problems that existed at the Hilltop remain. The Walking Dead reveals the fate of Maggie and Sasha with an episode at the Hilltop Colony.
