Trivia

This is the episode (Omega) that got AMC into trouble with the FCC because it included the Emergency Alert System tone. The FCC issued a press release on August 15, 2019 announcing settlements with ABC (because the EAS tone was also used during Jimmy Kimmel Live on October 3, 2018) and AMC, along with other broadcasters, for airing actual or simulated emergency alert tones, which violates the commission's rules on proper use of the Emergency Alert System. Broadcasting EAS tones during nonemergencies and outside of proper testing is a "serious public safety concern," according to the FCC. The combined total the companies have agreed to pay will amount to over $600,000 in civil penalties, with each network promising that it won't happen again.

Goofs

Frank has no beard before Matias dies. After Alpha kills him there is a scene Frank talks to his daughter with beard (more than 2 weeks long) which is only couple of hours later. However; the inconsistencies are deliberate because the story is told by Lydia, an unreliable narrator, who constantly changes her story.

Awesome

An amazing episode, they really focused a lot on domestic abuse with lydia suffering from it, Daryl of course and also the mention of carol with ed. I did like how they went from flash back to present day and back and forth. Then that ending was so cool just seeing the whisperers walking up to the gates of hilltop. What made is so cool is even though you know they are people seeing those "walkers" walking up to the gate with purpose and not mindlessly wandering around was so eerie. Damn this season is so good and hell Beta has not even arrived yet!
