Rick Loses More Than the Battle on The Walking Dead‘s Midseason Finale
We all knew Rick’s siege against the Saviors couldn’t work. There’s no way our heroes could fight an antagonist so powerful and defeat him with a single attack.

The Walking Dead Took a Breather and Rick Immediately Did Something Idiotic
After five episodes detailing the three-pronged attack on the Saviors’ headquarters, several outposts, and a great deal of post-op clean-up, it makes perfect sense that the show would finally see what the hell everyone else is up to.
