For those that skip the intro, the Duo watched some of The World Beyond (enough to understand the Omaha bit later in this episode), and they have not yet see the Negan/Maggie show nor the Daryl Dixon show. They will watch those on their own time, but will likely not react to them for the channel. 8:19 I've never see Rick Grimes so clean. 10:56 I love that they chose Philadelphia for this city. My wife is from there and we met because of this channel. Our first in person meeting was at the Senoia trip that Lacey and Steve talked about in the intro. And while The Walking Dead was never my preferred show, I do enjoy it much more because the people I care about love this show. 11:03 Am I the only one who got Dave from LOST vibes from this guy? 12:16 Fair warning that there may be some LOST spoilers in these reactions. 12:51 I really liked the Okafor character. In such a short time he made a really big impression. I was shocked he didn't make it through the episode, but I have a feeling we will see more of him in flashbacks. 14:25 We only got a tease here of Maj. Gen. Beale, but in that short time, his command is extremely clear. Perhaps that's me making assumptions based on his work in LOST. But I am really looking forward to seeing where this goes with him as the antagonist. 25:24 Steve, you only had like 15 seconds of the show left :D And thanks Lacey for getting him unstuck. 30:51 This is excellent timing on Lacey's part. As I've said before, The Walking Dead was never my show (I stopped watching around the middle of season 2) but experiencing this show with this group is pretty damn wonderful. I love how my wife will want to watch the new episode at 5 AM on Sunday. I love talking with Lacey and Steve about their love for this show and these characters. I feel lucky that we are the first two people to see their reactions for each show. And I love helping out with this channel again.

Fun fact, the first episode of the Walking Dead was called "Days Gone Bye" and the first 3 titles of this series are "Years", "Gone" and "Bye"

Ah throwback to the day y’all started this show. Look how far we’ve all come

Steve's reaction to the end was priceless!😂 Love it, and love seeing authentic reactions. Glad to see you 2 back and hope everything is going well!

Scott, Danai and Andy worked on every episode together, if I'm not mistaken - with Episode 4 being written solely by Danai, as well as placed as the showrunner.

im so glad to have rick and michonne back!

"I can't move" 😂

Andrew Lincoln acted his ass off and I appreciate it! This is probably the best TWDU episode I have ever seen. I’m so excited for the rest and really hope 5 more episodes isn’t the end!

“Old boi disappeared” 😂😂😂😂 Lacey! Steve all emotional; I know exactly how you feel cause that’s exactly how we all felt

So great to see one of my favorite Duos watching The Walking Dead again! Feels like old times! Rick & Michonne capture the heart of TWD so much and this is why its so emotional! It’s been 6 years since Rick left the main show and they did not disappoint with his return 😭. The amount of times I have watched this first episode is unholy! Can’t wait to watch episode 2 with y’all! Much love Steve & Lacey ❤️‍🔥

Just wanna say it’s so good to see you both. Lacey you’re looking well. You have your spark back.🖤

Forgive me for sounding like an emotional Vampire, but you don't have to worry about shedding tears on a reaction video, it's literally what we're all here for, to share a broader experience around something we all love. Totally adored this, and so glad to have Rick and Michonne Grimes back in our lives again, subbed!💖💖

Love this series already! Can't wait for the next episode!

I had the same reaction as Steve! That hit me right in the heart! So good!

🔥 worth of waiting this series is better then every spinoffs

Steve and Lacey! Glad ya'll are back with this one. Andrew Lincoln and Danai are so great. Missed them so much. Missed ya'll too. Hope things are better and good health to Lacey!❤

I needed to watch this just to help me process what I watched last night! Thank you guys, so great to have your reactions back to look forward to. It truly makes my day, hope you're both doing great! Amazing reaction to this episode, love Steve getting emotional haha

Welcome home Duo

Glad to see yall back! Miss yall alot. Rick is back! Amazing first episode the ending omg wow can't wait for next week.

You guys are so great I am so glad you reacted to this wonderful Lacey is better and I wanted you to see the reunion of Rick and mashone. Hang in there.

after years gone by, Rick is back

i have just woke up and i went straigh to youtube looking for a reaction and you guys happen to drop this as i open the app😂thanks yall are my favorite i watched every single breaking bad , stranger things and walking dead episode you guys done

Good to see you guys back in the game again.

Yall are my favorite reactors online just cause both of you are smart, strong, and hilarious! I agree with Steve that Rick is THE MAN and I’m so glad to see that you guys are staying strong. ❤ Also, Rick is kinda Merle 2.0 now with that sick ass handmold knife

It was a fabulous episode, now can't wait for the rest.

This episode left me with so much feels!! 😂

OMG I haven’t watched you guys in a couple of years. I remember in the first episode of TWD Steve didn’t really want to watch. Now he’s hooked. Love your reactions. Lacey and Steve ( Steve and Lacey) welcome back !

Im so happy you guys are coming back gradually...im a huge fan...its also so nice to see lacey looking good..oh yeah ps its Lacey and steve😊

Dang between the long hair and Steve slimming down im like who are these people! You both look fantastic! Happy to see you guys looking so well! Doing the mom thing I'm not having as much time to watch reactions but you know i had to come back for this one.

Great reaction!! I’ll be watching you guys the rest of the season!!

I am soooo glad you two are back. I've missed this. I hope Lacey is improving. ❤

Holy shit there actually was a face behind Rick in the window, good eye

Before you get into the episode. Been a while since I had a video from you to watch (I absolutely refuse to watch reactions before I've watched what it is a reaction to), but Lacy.. that hair.. I know it's hard to keep hair strong and vibrant the longer it gets, but yours is damned well fine. 11:00-11:15 "Can I touch it?" sadly this is a reflection of many people who will actually ask that of complete strangers. Some people are engrossed in missing limbs to the degree that they will, with or without asking, touch an amputee's "stump." They make a joke of it, but it shines a bit of light on that aspect of society. One of the sweetest women I've known is very bubbly, kind and upbeat, she was born without one of her hands. I have a cousin who was born without 2/3 of one leg, she too is quite a wonderful person to know. My great uncle (brother of my grandfather) lost the thumb, index and middle finger on one hand to a bullet in WWII. 14:48-15:08 seems to me, Major General Beales is testing Rick, but not in the way that is to be expected. Why would you tell someone "I'm going to ask you a question, you don't have to answer, I'm just going to look into your eyes" You're literally trying to give a warning of "Don't betray anything" before asking. While most people can't easily suppress a natural response, it's practically an open declaration "I am going to attack tomorrow, the day before your proposed 'surprise attack' tomorrow" to one of the few who have been trained to not betray their inner feelings and natural response. 19:14-19:17 "I think the gun has it here, Rick" At this close of proximity, how they are squared off, Okafur could shoot, not sure of his skill but I'd give him a 93% likelihood of killing Rick, but if Rick wanted to go that route, I'd give him an 77% chance of inflicting a fatal wound on Okafur before the last signal to his arm dwindles away into nothingness. This means a likely "We both die" scenario, but Rick doesn't want to kill him, he just wants a way out. Whether that's by death, or by being allowed to leave.

Great to see y’all back!! 💜

Hey, missed you guys nice to see you both. I can't wait.

Who the hell would ask to touch a freakin stump nub?! 😂. Apparently….that dude 😂

"STOP! I cant move. help me move". that killed me steve

Its okay I got stuck too. I never been in such emotion hahahahaa

So glad to see you guys back. I’ve never loved a character as I do with Rick Grimes and this pilot episode did not disappoint. All I have to say is, thank God Michoone took off Ricks helmet, before killing him. That would have been horrible 😂. But our favorite couple has finally reunited . And great reactions from the both of you. It’s so sweet seeing Steve tear up at the end🥰

Good to see you back.

I was planning to watch the episode later but then i saw you guys back and was like nuh uh i am gon watch the ep right now just so I can watch your reaction.

Excited to see TWD reactions again from yall..cuz as you know, TWD brought our little group together, started off as enjoying your reactions, to enjoying conversations on discord, to hanging out on discord to becoming real life friends and Georgia was just the start! I love yall!

16:45 and that’s a call back to s1 episode 1 of twd with Rick and the girl that was a walker he definitely needed that version in this moment so he could have escaped lol

Steve, I love you much! I cried too!!!!

18:40 I didn't comment on this before, but Okafor sounds just like Walt confessing his crimes at the end of Breaking Bad.

Im glad yall are back been watching yall since you first started the walking dead back in 2020 ❤😂

Good to see you guys back! :)

Andy killed it!!!!

I don't think that Rick lnows he has a son because he only spoke ablut his wife a his daughter. Very good episode, and reaction

Im so ready. I love these 2 so much. Rick I've missed you

I’m so glad to see you guys reacting and putting up more videos lately!! ❤🎉

Omg yes!😊

Damn since when did Rick grimes become an Assassin. Bro got the hidden blade bad ass 😮

I’ve loved TWD from beginning to end but it wasn’t quite the same without Rick, Rick is TWD, I can’t say how much I’ve missed Rick Grimes.

Hell, I was just about to edit and post our reaction to episode 1 but watching what you guys thought of the trailer and first episode before I even consider doing that. JESUS welcome back guys!

Hi Steve and Lacey I love your reaction Steve you always make me laugh I'm so glad you guys are back y'all are one of my favorite reactors true story when I'm sad I would watch one of you guys old walking dead reaction and it would make me feel better just wanted you guys to know that love you guys I'm so happy you're back ❤

I have missed you two so dang much. Im glad everything is hitting on all cylinders. ❤

Steve is hilarious 😂😂 I missed you guys and the walking dead reactions 💗

this show is going to be so good

Don’t mean this disrespectfully, steve looks like he’s lost some weight, well done! Anyway great to see you guys back

I just subscribed, as i love you guys reactions.

I just opened my phone and this the first thing I see on my feed. Yes 🙌

Glad to see you guys are back! Hope all is well.

Glad to see you guys back!!

This was a great episode and a great reaction guys. Steve I feel you I got a headache from the stress and tears. That ending was lit. R.I.P. Okafor I really liked his character. I’m not felling Thorne drunk ass. Hopefully she’s next. My poor Baby Rick have been through it and it’s only the dreams of Michonne that’s keeping him somewhat sane. Also Rick was the only person tethered bcuz they knew he was gonna run and damn if he didn’t even while chained my man was determined. I’m like his new hand tho bcuz it did save his life from Michonne’s Katana. Great episode see you’ll next week.

We are back!!! It was emotional to see Rick again i was so excited but it was so sad to see him cut his hand off but I don't blame him he was trying to escape to get to his family Rick would done anything to escape and he did poor Rick can't escape man i would have done the same thing i would do anything escape if it means cutting my own hand off or anything to escape to get to my family but it's good to see Rick back and MICHONNE at the end love you steve and Lacey have a great day i just woke up saw ur video take care and i hope Lacey is getting better

The patience of waiting for your videos are worth it❤ I shall await the other spin offs reactions.
