The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live: The Reunion We Hoped For (IMAGES)
AMC shared official images of THAT reunion during the finale of Andrew Lincoln & Danai Gurira-starring The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live.
By the time the dust settled on the finale of AMC's Andrew Lincoln (Rick Grimes) and Danai Gurira (Michonne)-starring The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live, it was clear that Lincoln, Gurira, and TWD CCO Scott M. Gimple weren't kidding when they said that "The Last Time" would be a game-changer where things would never be the same. While we won't dive deep into spoilers right now (though we covered the episode in full in our review), mainstream & social media have pretty trampled all over the idea of "spoiler warnings" when it came to the big reunion at the end of the episode. That's right, Rick & Michonne are finally able to have some quality family time with Cailey Fleming's Judith and Antony Azor's R.J. – as the "brave man" finally gets a chance to be a husband and father after far too long, thanks to a woman who doesn't understand the meaning of "give up." Now, we're getting a better look at that special moment via the release of some official images from the finale – here's a look:
And here's a look back at what Lincoln & Gurira had to share with the TWD universe heading into the finale:
The spinoff series presents an epic love story of two characters changed by a changed world. Kept apart by distance. By an unstoppable power. By the ghosts of who they were. Rick (Lincoln) and Michonne (Gurira) are thrown into another world, built on a war against the dead… And ultimately, a war against the living. Can they find each other and who they were in a place and situation unlike any they've ever known before? Are they enemies? Lovers? Victims? Victors? Without each other, are they even alive — or will they find that they, too, are the Walking Dead? Joining Lincoln & Gurira are Pollyanna McIntosh as CRM Warrant Officer Jadis Stokes, Lesley-Ann Brandt as Pearl Thorne, Terry O'Quinn as CRM Major General Beale, and Matthew August Jeffers as Nat.
In the following featurette, Lincoln and Gurira discuss what it was like being back to celebrate the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. We get to learn why killing a walker was important for Lincoln during his scenes and how Gurira is viewing her upcoming return to the role as presenting "Michonne 2.0." Here's a look at the complete featurette, Show Me More: The Walking Dead Last Episodes (Behind the Scenes).
