Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.
Okay, so this was a pretty big and violent episode. I'm not going to go on and on again about how I like the quickened pace of this back half of the season, but "No Tomorrow Yet" could have easily all taken place back in Alexandria. With just a bunch of planning, plotting, and small splintered conversations. But it was only that for the first half.
The second half launched right into Rick's hugely murderous preemptive strike against Negan. Who one could argue drew first blood when his boys threatened Daryl out on the open road, but really - this was a particularly icky assault. Really blurring the lines between good and bad here considering how much evil is done in the name of "we have to take them out first in case, one day in the future, they think about attacking us." In fact, the current seasonal villain on The 100 is basically doing to the Grounders what Rick just did to Negan. An unprovoked attack filled with mass killing. Not to subjugate, to exterminate. And it's a fascinating place to take these characters.
