The walking Dead Season 7 Episode 12 Say Yes Recap / Review. * Spoilers*
*SPOILERS*
The episode starts out with Rick and Michonne out looking for food and weapons. I like how the bond between Rick and Michonne build's during the episode . The cutting back and forth between them raiding and making zombie apocalypse love was cool. This episode actually helped me believe their relationship a little more, because I was not buying it before. Off to a good start.
Then we go to Rosita having a blah conversation with Tara. Rosita then heads out to look for a gun. We then see the zombie kill of the week award given to Rosita. So there is this zombie that comes out of this house. It's a hideous beast of a zombie lady. Rosita slices this things neck twice with her machete. Crazy dope, because it's still coming at her. One more blow to the top of it's head does the job.
Back to Rick and Michonne. They're on top of a roof looking at an amusement park. Then Rick and Michonne fall through the roof. They laugh it off because they land safely and find food.
Back to Rosita. She's pissed because she has found nothing. She goes to see Father Gabriel and tells him it's his fault. She blames him for convincing her to not follow her "plans". But if I'm not mistaken she still tried to kill Negan. I'm confused. That was her plan right? Father Gabriel doesn't call bullshit, so I guess it's all cool. It's not my fight, it's Father Gabriel's. But honestly Rosita used to be in my top 5 favorite characters. Now it's painful watching this character talk nonsense every week.
Michonne and Rick eat Chili "and" Mac and Cheese, while they discuss how to restore order to all of these communities, once Negan is dead. Smart convo. She tells him he should basically be the new leader of the zombie apocalypse. He says they should rule together. Then another sweaty zombie apocalypytic make out session occurs.
Fast forward they are going into the park for the guns. Rick asks michonne to take out eight zombies with her sword "quietly". Every time I put these " " on something I need you to image Rick's voice saying it. Okay I want to clear something up. We had an Oscar moment earlier in this article. There has been a mistake. The zombie kill of the week award actually goes to Michonne's quiet eight zombie kills. They collectively count as one kill. Sorry we read the wrong name on the card.
Michonne stabs the first two zombie behind a truck, but all we see is her silhouette slice two zombies heads off and then blood splatter's on the wall. Dope! She kills two more with a single sword blow through both of their faces. A two for one. Sweet! I lost track of the other four but I'm sure they happened. A zombie soldiers gun is stuck on a pipe. So the gun starts firing at Rick an Michonne. Yeah I know what your thinking. Michonne does some Jesus/ ninja move into the back of a moving cars trunk. That looked dope. Rick and michonne get stuck in said car.
They then get out fairly easy. The zombies chase them through the amusement park. They stand behind a railing and take out more zombies. To be exact ten zombies for Rick and eight more for Michonne.
Then Rick sees a deer. He looks like he's going to shoot the deer to create a diversion, but he has a change of heart. He then falls onto the ground, and is surrounded by zombies. Then they pull a sh*tty Glen move, were they make us think Rick is being eaten by a bunch of zombies. Really it's the deer. This is so lame. Michonne sees this and drops her sword because she thinks Rick is dead. I will admit, for a moment I thought she might die here because of Rick's fake death. Rick jumps out from under something and throws Michonne her sword. They fight their way out.
Up until this point, this episode was cool for me. And that being said, I haven't liked an episode since the season premiere. My take away from this episode, is I'm a little more invested in Rick and Michonne now, and the group has food and guns. Cool I'm happy, but wait the episode is not over yet. Rick and Michonne go back to the up up up to bring those guys the guns they asked for. They give fake Milla Jovovich the guns. For some reason she is going to need more guns. I think the direct quote is "guns us more we need" or something like that. Yoda has to be one of the writers for the walking dead. She tells them they can only keep five guns out of the sixty plus they brought to them. Rick says we are going to keep ten guns. She says no five. He says no ten, she says nine. He's says twenty, and somehow she's cool with that.
This junkyard crew needs to die, and go to the up up up upper room.
Now we go over to Rosita, who has recruited Sasha into her dumb plan, to kill Negan on a solo mission . First of all what was the purpose of the we just had sex with the same dead guy line, if she's going to be cool with Sasha again. And now they're willing to die together? I'm done. I thought it was a good episode until the last 5 minutes. Next week on the Walking Dead looks like another episode of a whole bunch of nothing. Smh. Some how, like a person stuck in a bad relationship I'll still be there next Sunday.
Hope you've enjoyed this recap. Let me know what you think of this episode in the comments below. Thanks.
