"Only took like 4 bad episodes to get here" - The internet reacts to The Walking Dead season 8, episode 5

We're almost halfway through 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Walking Dead season 8, yet the quality of each episode has been... inconsistent, to say the least. Not so with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:episode 5, The Big Friendly U, which raised the cuꦦrtain on some long running questions, characterised our heroes and villains with interesting new ൩layers, and teased more about the future of the show at large.
There were some big, big mo🐲ments that took place in episode 5, and viewers were just as surprised as we were at some of the more unexpected events which unfolded on our TV screens over the weekend. Here's some of the best online reactions to last night's show, but consider this your first and last warning for major spoilerꦛs for episode 5.
Ready? Ok, let's go, beginning with the very first scene; Gregory's trial by fire..🦩.
Yep, everybody still hates Gregory
As you would expect, Gregory finds even more ways for us to hate him, by lying and weaselling his way through any situation he finds himself in, including his interrogation by Negan at the beginning of episode 5. We're definitely supposed to hate him, that's for sure, but is he really meant to be this annoying?
Negan just called Gregory a thin-dicked politician 😂😂😂 #twd
Can we skip to the part where Gr♛egory dies alr♈eady?! #TWD #TheWalkingDead pic.twitter.com/4j8PK50H39
The end of #Raryl?
The b𒉰romance is in jeopardy! After a few episodes' worth of shady looks and worried glances, Ric﷽k and Daryl finally addressed their differences the only way they know how. With a punch-up, of course. For fans of the brotherly relationship, this was a hard one to watch.

Rick and Daryl just watching the a🔯mmo burn is a big mood and an accurate representation of my life #thewalkingdead
The Negan dilemma
The Big Scary U was a Negan-centric episode, to be sure, and the showrunners even attempted to make him more sympathetic as a charact🍸er, after he confesses his tragic backstory to Gabriel in the RV. We weren't duped by his sob story, though. Not after everything he's put us through...

I don't care about Negaღn soft side, he still kil🍷led Glen, and for that he got to pay #twd #walkingdead #TheWalkingDead
An unexpected cameo
A helicopter has been spotted in seasons 1, 2, and 7 of The Walking Dead before, and it remains one of the biggest mysteries that fans have been grappling with since the show began. Season꧋ 8 has now resurfaced that enigma, as episode 5 features a scene in which a helicopter zooms above Rick on his walk back towards The Kingdom. But what does it all mean?!

A little bit of deja vu from the scene at the junkyard last season? Whose helicopter is that?? #TheWalkingDead #TWD pic📖.twitter.com/k3ZZ1zOAfk
Meanwhile, at The Sanctuary...
In case you've been wondering what Eugene, Dwight, and the rest of The Saviours have be🅺en up to since the season premiere, don't worry, they've been spending their time playing games, sharing pickles, and accusiꦐng each other of treachery.
I'm still butt hurt Eജugene, but good to hear your intellectual mumbo jumbo again. #TheWalkingDead #TWD pic.twitter.com/22cqxi6zwZ
There’s a war going on outside and Eugene is playing video games?! 😐 #theWalkingDead #TWD
I'm gonna start channeling my inner Eugene & carry around a 🤡big ass 🐎jar of pickles with me. #freshbuzz #talkingdead #twd
How can I go from ab🐭solutely h𒁃ating Dwight to loving him? #TWD
Has season 8 finally found its groove?
So how did episode 5 fare o▨verall? Some liked it, others didn't, but the general consensus seems to be that it was one of the best seen in season 8 so far.
That's not saying much, mind...
This꧋ is the first time where Negan was in any way compelling. This was a good episode. An episode this season really needed! #TheWalkingDead
Not really a push but best episode🌠🐟 of this season so far. Only took like 4 bad episodes to get here #TheWalkingDead #TWD
Worst season of #TWD!! It just keeps dragging on and on. Negan was good for the show whenꩲ he came on but has since made it hard ꦇto watch.
