Season 5, Episode 16

Conquer, a mind blowing finale with suspenseful drama and memorable scenes
22 July 2020
This episode is a direct followup to last episode which had Daryl and Aaron out looking for supplies and people to bring back, where they noticed more of the brutal nature of the Wolves which will serve as a future villain. Back at Alexandria we got Rick Grimes who lost it in the previous episode and here we get to see the consequences and aftermath of his little outburst, and what follows is some great drama. Rick Grimes have had one of the best character arcs in the show, he's the main character after all and it shows with how he have proved Shane wrong in how he became almost exactly the same as his old friend.

Greg Nicotero directed this season finale, it was one hell of a episode, I remember it clearly when I watched it and it's as good the third or forth time. It has everything you would want from The Walking Dead, well almost everything. There's so many memorable moments and interactions in this episode that you will remember for years to come. The acting are one of the highlights as there's so many good performances, superb ones and Andrew Lincoln and Steven Yeun absolutely killed it. The cinematography was as always very good, one scene that I loved was how they shot it when Rick and Jessie talked how the camera was looking at her and the glass reflection was on Rick, nicely done.

The episode has the anticipated return of Morgan and I always get a good feeling when I re-watch the show, he's actually better than his comic book counterpart. For the people who haven't seen season 6, he will be a series regular. A great season finale.
