Back Together at Last! | The Ones Who Live 1x1 and 1x2 | Normies Group Reaction! 

OMGGGG!!! We finally started it!!! How excited are you guys??

THE ACTOR WHO PLAYED NAT WAS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!! I felt so much from their performance in 30 minutes of screen time if that than I have for characters that has multiple season arcs.

Fun fact (I think it was on the Episode Insider): Andrew Lincoln actually pushed hard for Rick to lose his hand to match the Rock from the comics - originally, it wasn’t gonna happen, IIRC, but he really rallied for it to happen.

It was explained in World Beyond that Jadis created her own group of scavengers before she even knew about the CRM but later proved her worth by bringing Rick in, she was trained by Jennifer Mallick and later became CRM military police

The actor that plays Maze is actually South African, thats her real voice... She's doing an American accent on Luciferl😂😂

It's crazy how Nat felt like he could have been one of those S tier bad ass characters that you just knew could solo the apocalypse, like Rick, Michonne, Darryl, Carol, Glenn and the like. They made a GOATed character that had more impact in one episode than some characters did in multiple seasons (sorry Angela lol).

The helicopter that dropped the gas was the same one Rick watched fly away in the beginning of his episode

The CRM did give the trash people supplies. In one scene of the original show, Jadis is seen opening canned food that has the 3 circle CRM logo on it.

If Nat had lived imagine what creation he could have made for Rick's missing hand, shooting little rockets and blades the possibility would've been wild.

Having Andrew Lincoln back as Rick Grimes is a dream come true!!! I can't wait to see your guys reaction to this whole thing. It's going to be one heck of a ride🙌

Okay, so back story in World Beyond we found out Ep 1 that the CRM took out Omaha (population 90K) and its sister community Campus colony (10K) and blamed it on a "column" (herd). The CRM was manufacturing a poisonous gas (yellow in color) to mass murder the communities b/c Major General Beale had "done the math" and they had become a "drain on resources & a potential threat to the Hidden City/Civic Republic". Okafor clearly knew it was the CRM (military) that took out Omaha/Campus Colony and that was why he said "no more Omaha's". The WB kids along with the scientists from the "research facility " thier dad worked at kidnapped Maj Gen Beales son, blew up the research facility (after Jadis took over for a lady named Lt Kobleck...idk if we will see her in TOWL or not) and were headed across the country to Portland to warn them about what the CRM did and they were next. Hope that helps, I tried to make it as short as possible but this is info I assume will help goin forward 😊

The Omaha thing happened in The World Beyond show

Season 2 of World Beyond explains a lot of the questions you’ve got. - culling facilities to systematically take walkers out in target areas to slowly reclaim little areas at a time - Omaha, it’s fall & how it happened - Beale’s motivations & Jadis’ journey & why she brought Rick in - GAS & what it’s used for, why & when - plan for the new light of the world being slowly reclaimed

It’s Philadelphia, that’s the Philadelphia skyline, also to answer the question with all the time jumps it’s about 8 or 9 years after he went missing

Seeing Suraj’s face watching Rick Grimes and John Locke together is priceless 😂

Also, one of the books Okafor gave to Rick was the Art Of Peace. Sound familiar? It's the book Eastman gave to Morgan. Hope that means he shows up.

By the way the camera zoomed in on the lady I’m sure y’all understand that the actress is Maze from Lucifer. She is amazing and great casting for the show

Awesome to see Suraj and Chris finally know what A's and B's mean since I know y'all really wanted to know what it meant in Rick's last episode

I don’t think you guys understand just how excited I was to see you guys upload this! I literally cried omg 😭Brought back all the nostalgia of running to RU-vid after an amazing TWD episode to watch your reactions. Danai, Andy, and Gimple have revived my INTENSE love of TWD with this series. Feels like I’m back in 2016!!!! AAAAAAAAAHHHHH

Nat: Damn it, it was a dud! Okafor: 💥

Chris is so confidently wrong all the time I swear. 😂 Glad you guys are back for TWD! If you aren't Suraj while watching this, are you even a fan???

It's actually been 8 years since they last seen each other. Remember on the main show Negan told the whisperers they had him locked up for 8 years and after they defeated them Judith told Michonne they won.

Just know from Fear TWD, the CRM does show up and have their presence known throughout seasons 5-6 i believe. Also know that Texas was nuked in season 6, which is why in The Ones Who Live intro, u can see in the map that the CRM did mark Texas as a nuclear zone (u can also see a CRM helicopter roaming this nuclear zone at the beginning of Episode 1 of TOWL. When it comes to Morgan, just know he runs away to Texas after the Savior War against Negan, to where he meets the Fear TWD cast. Fast forward to season 8 (the last season of Fear) where there is a huge time skip that catches up to the main TWD show’s timeline. He has a daughter now named Mo. He puts Duane (his son) to rest from being a walker back in Atlanta. He finally gets a radio and sends a message to Rick Grimes stating if he is listening, he is gonna come look for him whether he is at Alexandria or not (unaware to him that Alexandria has expanded with the Commonwealth). He then leaves in the mid season finale of season 8. One more thing 😂 Dwight and Sherry (who were part of the Saviors) are also in this show. Fast forward to season 8, they decide to return back to the Sanctuary (previously Negan’s place) where they will build up the place for the greater good this time

Everyone's excitement was so fantastic, but honestly, Suraj's was off the charts and brought me so much joy! I hate that they killed everyone that Michone found to friend, but I hate that they killed off Nat, especially. I really thought he'd be a regular character and I thought he'd bring a lot to the show. It was also great to see a little person, besides Peter Dinklage get a great, normal human role in a show.

I'm so glad yall are watching this! When the episodes came out and there wasn't a reaction afterwards i was like" I know they aren't passing this up!"😂 this is the best walking dead spin off because Andy, Danai, and Gimple are working together and Andy and Danai had/have more creative control than in the original show.

I think that Rick and Michonnes best play is to attack the summit that will be happening. Okafor said that once they build the new crm task force location that Rick and Pearl spent that year constructing all major CRM leaders will attend the opening summit there. I think that’s their best option at a “clean escape” is to bomb that meeting. Plus most people miss it but in episode one in the park with Esteban the citizens of the CRM are beginning to protest with signs against the CRM restrictions that could be impactful too.

so happy you guys are reacting cuz this is peak twd content

Let's goo!!!! I was worried you guys weren't doing this show lol. Can we still hope for a Dead City and/or Daryl Dixon reaction in the future? 6 episodes each is reasonable? 🤣 Edit: Dead City was good and the dynamic between Maggie/Negan + the reason they ended up having to do something together all made sense. Daryl Dixon was better, though. But both are worth reacting to.

Scott Gimple confirmed in the episode insider that they gassed Michonne's caravan because they were getting closer to the hidden city

Okafor's favorite actor is Ving Rhames. 🤣

32:48 😂🤣 I know Rana was excited but damn why you have to use Chris’s head as a drum hahahaha

There city is Philadelphia. They are in Camden when looking over to the city.

I thought Fear ended in a good way. Morgan and his daughter are on the way to find Rick. So i think he shows up somewhere in the crm. Only cause the crm were involved on Fear and they knew of his group after the nuclear bomb in texas. Also on the map they showed texas with a nuclear explosion symbol?

If there's this much fucking confusion over Omaha then World Beyond is a much watch prior to this, it's only two seasons and literally explains EVERYTHING fucking related to what happened to Omaha, Jadis' goals and allegiance and even Variants to some extent.

you guys should watch The walking Dead: World Beyond to get more context behind the CRM. You get a lot more details about them there.

I’ve waited forever BUT RICHONNE IS BACKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

They explain 31:09 The darkness of the CRM in the world beyond and FEAR too. Somehow way more than the main show. The world beyond is all about jadis and the CRM

The CRM city is Philadelphia. Pretty sure the military side where all the Bs work is in New Jersey

So glad y’all are watching this! My friends gave up on The Walking Dead years ago so I don’t have any to discuss it with anymore 😩

Just imagine how close Nat and Michonne got stuck together for that year.

FINALLY!! I literally kept refreshing RU-vid to see you guys react. I’ve grown to love this channel and was so sad when I didn’t see it 😭😭 also RIP to Nat, he was a real one. Wish they kept him. Side note to Chris’s concern about the fuel, they did say they were using the walkers for resources and energy. Maybe they figured out how to use them for fuel 🤷🏾‍♀️ could be a stretch

Chris, Dead City deals with some of the logistics, fuel being the main portion of the logistics they explain, it’s AWESOME!

Omaha was a World Beyond plot.

So glad ya'll are reacting to this, absolutely loved the first two episodes so far! Best TWD universe has looked in awhile!

Rick was the only one on a leash btw

FIRST TWO EPISODES ARE INCREDIBLE!! Best TWD spinoff. Best TWD episodes in probably 10 years. I'm glad we got Ricks comic look with the hand.

I'VE BEEN WAITING YOU'RE MY TOP 3 FAVORITE REACTION PEOPLE EVER!!! ❤

I heard that HEATH, (Missing Alexandrian black guy who went on mission to Oceanside with Tara) ended up being taken by CRM or by Jadis to them, and was taken as an A, becoming a undead test subject. I didn't watch world beyond but watched most important scenes about CRM + Jadis, from the shows i didn't watch.

Great to see you’re watching this! Loved both eps. Nat was a fab character. I didn’t watch season 2 of world beyond but it sounds like it answered a lot so I must catch up. Regardless of if you react, I’d say Daryl Dixon is worth a watch. I really enjoyed it. It felt quite fresh being in a new country with new characters and gave Daryl more depth than in recent TWD seasons. Oh and Chris was right that it’s 7 years since the bridge by the reunion. After 5 years, rick joined the army and we heard he’d then been training for a year as a soldier. Then after that okafor said he’d help build that base which would take a year, so that takes us up to 7 (plus michonne started 6 years after bridge and then had a year recovering after the gas).

Finally I was waiting for you guys to do this show

Jadjs was working on getting inside the crm or the theory that she was already with them for a while and did something that pissed off the general so she was working to get back in through consignment the general sanctioned.

so glad you all are reacting to this! Rick returns and holy hell does The Walking Dead feel like its got LIFE in it again!

Omaha was the city in the spin off world beyond. The CRM wiped them out.

This is the reaction i was waiting for! You guys took so long Lol but thank you👍🏻👍🏻

Lord the end game plan sounds like it could easily be a fck up 😂

If you watch the 2nd season of World Beyond, you learn more about the CRM, Pennsylvania, Omaha, and Portland. Rick's in Philadelphia. When Rick and Michonne find each other they are caught up with the timeline where TWD main show ended 14 years after the fall. So Rick's suicide attempt with the glass was 4 years prior. Omaha, Portland, and Philadelphia are the 3 cities the Civic Republic are in, but Omaha and Portland did not know about Philadelphia. That was kept a secret because that's where the CRM is based. The city where everyone lives is "hidden" in the middle of all of the ruined skyscrapers. People in Omaha were talked to other people and blabbed about where they were/who they are and that's why people in the CRM decided that Omaha needed to go. The 4 kids that left at the beginning of World Beyond left right before Omaha was bombed. The same kind of gas was used on them that was used on Michonne, Nat, and the others. Once the gas cleared, CRM soldiers went in and killed off the walkers they brought in to destroy the place and also the people who died. We've never seen Portland on any of the shows as it's Portland, Oregon, not Maine. In the opening credits, they show a map with the 3 CR cities and also the bombed zone in Texas from the 7th season of Fear the Walking Dead. There's also the post-credit scene in World Beyond that ties into Daryl's spinoff. Gimple said they're not all connected and that you don't need to watch everything to understand things, but you really do. Michonne's group was bombed because they were getting close to Philadelphia. That's also why Okafor said that if Rick escaped and got back home, he was going to have to kill him, Michonne, Judith, everyone in Alexandria, etc, because they would have known about Philadelphia and could have stormed the place.

Jadis is all in on the CRM. She was not working with Orkafor. She saved Rick to give her a way into the CRM and she labelled Rick a B to do him a favor. She saved his life.

these episodes were brilliant!!

man i was waiting for you guys so much

OH MY FUVKING GOD YES WHAT A DAY I’m sure suraj was the one pushing for this so I’m so happy

I was so glad to see you guys reacting to this 😊 Feels like the walking dead is back. Looking forward to the rest of the season 🩷

Hell yes! Glad y’all are watching this. It’s so good.

Let’s go! I’ve been waiting a week for the reaction to start!

Found you guys from TWD season 6 reactions, very happy to see you’ll react to this spin off :)

Dang, Nat and Okafor were awesome characters for the short time they were present. Nat was a one-man wrecking machine with a level of genius that rivaled Eugene's and destruction that rivaled Carol. Okafor was a very complex character who at his core was a decent guy. I believe he would've helped Rick and Michonne had he lived.

Finally. Was waiting for this one for ages

TWD tradition, its always a kid that ruins everything😂😂

Regarding your questions about why they would want to make more walkers in the first episode there is a brief line that explains that they somehow use the walkers as a power source

There was no way the 3 of them would be able to run from helicopters at the crash site. Bringing her in was the only way for both to survive. RIP Nat, this universe loves introducing interesting characters only to kill them off immediately

Yep! The rumors you heard about Dead City and the Darryl Dixon show was 100% accurate!

I love your excitement over seeing Terry O'Quinn 😅

World Beyond explains Omaha and Jadis.

YES!!!! I was hoping that the Normies would react to this! No cap, I feel the same way I did when I first started watching TWD! Looking forward to each Sunday!! Loving our Richonne reunion!! ❤❤❤

I’ve got a feeling Jadis & Lance from commonwealth were placed where they were to draw in different types of people to recruit to CRM, Connie was going to be sent to CRM before they fixed things at the Commonwealth. I think Chris may be onto something with Okafor & Jadis being in cahoots!

1:12:12 The CRM has more than 200,000 people living in a fortified area in Philadelphia 🙂🙂

If you notice until Rick saw Okafor was truly standing for soemthing like he did and wasnt just another soldier, he started to accept his reality and thought it would be best to join him. He even has his pinky blocking Okafors pistol from being able to shoot and was ready to take his head off with the hidden blade, he also knew if he killed Okafor it would just make his situation worse. This whole episode was dedicated to helping him burn down the old to grow something newer and better. I think the direction of the show is headed towards michonnes death.

YEEEEEEEES!!!!! I WAS WAITING FOR THIS A WEEK AGO, FINALLY!!!!

Dead City was great imo. They play off of each other great because of the tension

Flashback to TWD reactions in the lobby YEARS ago. Nostalgia

10/10 show. Absolute fire!

THANKS for this, Gang!!!!

Great reaction :D Rick is definitely not going to calm down lol he was mad at Okafor!! He was a prisoner for years, not allowed to live his life the way he wanted to! Of course he is going to be angry. He wants his family, his life! I feel for him! Andy is such a wonderful actor!!!❤

DOUBLE UPLOAD? I TAKE IT BACK I APPRECIATE YALL FINALLY GETTING TO IT!!!

Omaha was covered in World Beyond. They refused to work by the CRM's rules, so CRM erased them.

Rana wanting 33 days in February is adorable.

I just thought about it. Somehow all of our TWD group is going to reconvene in Philly. Negan and Maggie, Daryl and Carol, and Rick and Michonne. Morgan might come and I think Dwight and Sherry will find their way to Alexandria. Morgan will communicate with Dwight and Sherry when they are at Alexandria and tell them that the team needs help up north. That's my overall, less detailed prediction.

YESSSS!!! This show is the ULTIMATE! 🔥🔥🔥

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS!!!!

You guys really need to watch the world beyond to find out what happened to Omaha. I don’t want to spoil anything else though several things/characters here will be clearer if you’ve watched it

@TheNormies So I don’t know if you plan on watching The World Beyond but it explains what happened to Omaha. I can tell ya if you want to know or I’m sure you can find a recap video on RU-vid. But it is a huuuuuge story line for the CRM and the World Beyond. And I have a feeling it will be very important for this series considering it was mentioned or hinted at in some way 6-7 times in the first 2 episodes.

I'm just so excited to have Michonne once again on my TV btw not TWD related but you guys should put amc's new Interview With the Vampire show on your list for the future, good stuff!

Fear the Walking Dead is actually pretty good. I'd say Fear season 3 is up there with the best seasons of the original show. The first 3 seasons are one story arc that ends really strongly. The back few seasons kinda fall apart though. I'd recommend you watch at least those first 3 seasons.

Chris being interested in the world expanding but not watching the spin offs is contradicting. Dead City showed walkers can be used as a source of energy and expands to other cities and communities. Daryl Dixon literally expands to another country. World Beyond introduced the CRM and how their society works, the bombing of Omaha, the chlorine gas, and Jadis was in there too. Watch these damn shows its not even long.

You see what happened in Omaha in The World Beyond

Was waiting for this episode lmao

The woman michonne was talking to at the fire is from Mr Mercedes tv show based on a trilogy by Stephen king

I love this series it feels like walking dead season one with how good it is

I saw nothing that jumped out at me that could seem to be a “problem”, I’m very excited as someone who played 3, NV, and 4 endlessly growing up. So excited I may actually go back to 76 which I played for like 30 total minutes since I heard they’ve improved it a lot😂

Finally I thought you guys were never gonna do a reaction 🥹
