But in truth, the 1. Extension of a Man was written by Edward Howard about the mental pain he saw Hathaway experiencing. The song meant so much to Hathaway that he cried upon hearing the final mix. More than 4. 0 years later, Sasha too finds catharsis in it in the Season 7 finale of The Walking Dead. Sasha listens to it en route with the Saviors to spill the blood of one more Alexandrian. Having caught wind of the Alexandrians making moves, he wants to kill three people as punishment, but Sasha is able to talk him down to just one casualty. She has him wrapped around her fingers, although he insists its not a man woman thing. The Alexandrians are prepared for the visit after Dwights apparent betrayal. He warns of Negans arrival and offers to set up some roadblocks to slow the Saviors down. This gives Rick and co. The Hilltop is on standby, and unbeknownst to Rick, Ezekiel and his regiment are en route to join the cause. All this preparation is for naught, however, after a capital s Shocking twist in the form of another betrayal. Eugene leads the Saviors cavalry to Alexandrias gates and makes a plea for Rick to fall back in line. Conflicted, he asks where Negan is. Eugene is Negan, he says. This seals his fate, or seems to, at least, as Rick gives the nod for Rosita to set off the dynamite. But it fails, and Jadis puts a gun to Ricks head and the rest of the Scavengers follow suit.

It was her crew who tipped off the Saviors, so we can spare at least some of our ire toward Gregory, who is still a scumbag but less of a scumbag than we thought. The surprise gives Negan a chance for another one of his monologues. He taunts Rick once again and outlines his demands all the guns, all the lemonade, a sacrifice for Lucille, Daryl, and the pool table with all its accessories. Furthering his flair for the dramatic, he has Simon and Dwight unveil a coffin. Negan reveals that Sasha is inside and says hell kill her and everyone else probably if Rick doesnt comply. Sashas nonlinear journey is somewhat frustrating in the episode. Most of those are still unnecessary, save for the more immediate events. Carol regains consciousness in the bed of a horse drawn wagon. Her wounds are fresh its been a couple hours since she was shot. The men on horseback. Tonight is Bury Me Here, the latest episode from The Walking Dead. It looks like its going to be Kingdomcentric, although fans are also worried about Sasha.

Cut back to Alexandria, where Negan opens the coffin and is attacked by Walker Sasha. Her sacrifice opens the window for the Alexandrians not held at gunpoint to begin opening fire. Still, Rick is immobilized, and so too is Michonne, by the Scavenger sniper who was supposed to be her partner in crime. Rick tries to make an even better deal with Jadis, but shes having none of it. She pops a shot in his hip and kicks him off the platform.

Once again, its monologue time for Negan. He outlines his fondness for Carl If I had a kid, Id want him to be just like him but says hes going to kill him in front of Rick, then cut off his arms. As this is happening, Michonne is in a fight for her life with the Scavenger. Shes nearly choked out when she gets a hit in, but still not safe. Rick then hears a womans screams from off camera. Undeterred, and unwilling to return to his neutered self, he repeats his taunt from the Season 7 premiere, saying he will still kill him one day. In yet another twist, this one much more expected, Ezekiel and his regiment arrive just in time to spare Carls life and allow the war to continue. Go Lala Go! Full Movie Part 1. Shiva pounces on one of Negans henchman just as he pulls the bat behind his shoulders, ready to swing. Ezekiel, Morgan, and Carol all come in guns blazing, with the king delivering a properly dramatic decry Alexandria will not fall, not on this day. The Scavengers flee, and eventually the Saviors are run out of Alexandria. Along the way were treated to some awesome action shots, particularly the pairings of Ezekiel and Carol and Rick and Morgan fighting alongside each other. The newly aligned army attempts to chase Negan and the rest of the Saviors, but a crew left behind is able to ward them off with gunfire and allow them to escape back to the Sanctuary. War is just getting started. The First Day of the Rest of Your Life written by Scott M. Gimple, Angela Kang, and Matthew Negrete and directed by Greg Nicotero isnt quite a perfect finale, but its damn fun and undeniably satisfying. My only real beef is with the gratuitous Sasha flashbacks and the indulgently sappy ending monologue from Maggie. While the Kingdoms just on time arrival was to be expected, the Scavengers betrayal is the best twist the show has pulled off since first revealing that everyone who dies comes back as a walker. And in a show in which death has recently lost most of its power, Sashas death was a potent sacrifice, carrying far more weight than Glenn and Abrahams Michonne, though badly battered, survives, so no need to mourn two characters tonight. So was Season 7 redeemed I wouldnt go that far. The shows penchant for stalling, over manipulating, and biting off more than it can chew cant be erased by one explosive finale. While the back half of this season was better than the first, it still suffered from those same issues. But going into yet another summer between seasons, we wont be left with a bad taste in our mouths this time around. Like Sasha with her earbuds, we too get a sweet release.
