All nudes is good news as Rick strips off in The Walking Dead

SPOILER ALERT The Walking Dead Season 8 Episode 6 sees some crazy plot developments and Rick Grimes nude up.

STUPIDITY, ridiculous coincidence, plot contortions, uplifting moments and metalworking in the nude – The Walking Dead this week had it all.

But it didn’t have the one thing that fans really wanted – an answer to that bloody helicopter that flew over Rick at the end of the previous episode.

Instead, it was time to ignore the exciting plot developments at the Sanctuary with Eugene and Father Gabriel and check in on all three communities.

Get ready for a spoiler-filled review of episode six of season eight of The Walking Dead.

The Kingdom’s Dianne is over at the Hilltop. For some reason. But she’s probably gonna die soon and it’ll be all Gregory’s fault.

First we had Rick wandering into the Junkyard Bunch while Jadis and her mates were doing some metalwork in the nude. Well, this is an American show so they did have a proper apron on to cover the important bits. You can show people having their guts ripped out but a bit of side boob is a no-no.

Anyway, having pulled on some togs, Jadis and co listen to Rick’s plea to join them against Negan. Then they nude him up and lock him in a shipping container. Smart decision, Rick.

Over at the Kingdom, Ezekiel was still blubbering away and Jerry was still eating peach cobbler. Obviously it was time for Carol to whip these two quivering heaps of wussbaggery into shape. And for a minute it looked like she would. Then, for some reason, she started tearing up and wouldn’t make Ezekiel man up and get back into the fight.

Well, obviously her words of wisdom will eventually resonate enough that he’ll come roaring back into the war. Just not until the second half of the season, obviously.

Carl Grimes heads into the forest wearing an old flannie shirt and some damn effective plot armour.

Over at Alexandria, Carl was ignoring the war and instead trying to find the man Saddiq he met in the first episode. Then they go off hunting Walkers together and Carl ends up in a right pickle, trapped by two Walkers. Luckily, instead of biting any of his exposed body parts – as they might do with an extra – neither of them were able to chew through Carl’s “plot armour” and contented themselves with gnashing their teeth impotently near his face.

Anyway, with Saddiq at his side, Carl’s heading back home. Looks like the two of them will have to rescue Rick, thus making Rick grateful enough to ignore Carl having disobeyed his orders.

Michonne and Rosita, meanwhile, head out for some trouble. And they find it, in the form of the “fat lady” spoken about by the Saviours in the previous episode. It’s a ute covered in speakers, designed to lure away the undead.

Like any highly valuable piece of equipment, it’s being guarded by just two Saviours. Instead of shooting them, Michonne and Rosita decide to have one of the more ridiculous fight sequences we’ve seen for a while. First we have Michonne, who’s deadly with the katana, able to deflect crowbar attacks with ease but “too sore” to deal a death blow.

Even this Walker couldn’t swallow the Rosita-Michonne fight sequence.

Then Rosita, a former soldier, throws away her gun when someone shoots at her and ends up with a bazooka, which she used on a Saviour — but it doesn’t hit anything else behind him.

The one Michonne is fighting runs away in the “fat lady” truck but don’t worry – Daryl and Tara were waiting outside in a garbage truck for just such an eventuality and ram the “fat lady”, saving the day.

This foursome then heads to the Sanctuary where Daryl wants to enlist them to blow open the gates and let the dead inside to kill every last Saviour — and the families as well. Michonne’s going to have to get well quick to stop that.

Maggie should have shot Gregory, at least.

Over at the Hilltop, Gregory wants to hang the captured Saviours, while Jesus wants to save them. He’s struggling, because his glossy hair and beard don’t appear to be their usual rich, flowing state.

Anyway, after some debate and the noise of construction work from inside the Hilltop, it is revealed that Maggie has actually built a jail for the Saviours. And, in a wonderful moment, throws the weasel Gregory in with them.

But will it all end happily for the Hilltop? Let’s face it, there’s more likelihood of Jesus getting a shave and a haircut.

Oh, and Aaron and Enid head off to kick some Saviour ass. They’d be better off saving Rick’s naked one.

Finally we get to see a naked Rick watching as Jadis and her gang head out, presumably to rescue Negan and certainly to put a spanner in the works. Let’s hope they’re wearing more than just an apron when they do that.
