I had two favorites. While I loved the scene where Glenn places the ring in Maggie's hand, and Maggie says yes, with her face showing the understanding that either or both of them could die soon, I voted for the scene where Daryl found Merle. It was just so good. Daryl looked so broken and sad, and it was sad.
The ending was heartbreaking, but so well-acted. The way Daryl just pushed Merle away a few times, delaying what he already knew he had to do.
I really did like Rick's speech too, so I also voted for that. His 'this isnt a democracy' speech was awesome. I kind of respected him for that, but I weirdly respect him even more for this 'well, maybe it is a democracy after all' speech. I think we have seen the last of Ghost Lori now, thankfully. Rick is back.
Totally agree. Incredible acting by Norman Reedus. I'm REALLY going to miss Michael Rooker's acting too. His reactions always seemed authentic & not practiced at all .
Definitely Daryl putting down Merle at the end. There were other strong scenes as well, but Michael Rooker was just fantastic in this episode -- and Norman Reedus absolutely sold the $@*# out of that final scene. I had even seen the spoiler and knew it was coming; and still he had me crying right along with him. Just so powerful and brutal to watch ... I imagine it must have been exhausting to film.
