“I’m glad you and my mom are friends.”
While not an action-packed, or even particularly intense, chapter, “Omega” is one of the best Walking Dead episodes in a long while. Several factors helped here, but first and foremost it’s because Daryl is finally starting to shape up as a fully-realized character. It’s sad that it took nine years, but there’s no better time than the present, right? Especially if we’re looking at him to take over as the new Rick – a notion that was rumored after Andrew Lincoln’s exit, but one that feels even more concrete now after Danai Gurira is also reportedly leaving.
