Why Rick Cannot Live in a World He Did Not Build

A tether, a hatchet, and a forest full of burning walkers. Five years after the bridge, Rick Grimes is a CRM consignee, and in the opening minutes of The Ones Who Live he cuts off his own hand to get out. This video traces why Rick never settles inside a world someone else designed. The places that never fit: The CDC. The last working institution turns out to be a tomb with a timer, and Rick keeps its one secret to himself. The prison and Woodbury. The Governor turns his guns on his own people, and Andrea dies in his torture room. Alexandria. Deanna knows about Pete, and the town needs its surgeon more than Jessie needs protecting. The war with Negan. The Kingdom says no, and Jadis drops Rick into a pit with a spiked walker. The Commonwealth. Pamela fires into the crowd and Judith is hit. The Civic Republic. Thorne's ghost ship, Okafor's offer, and a consignee who keeps running. Cascadia Base. Rick walks up to the gate as Sergeant Major Rick Grimes with a story about lightning. Walker Atlas maps the survivors, the settlements and the rules of the walking dead world. If following Rick from one shelter to the next is your kind of journey, keep walking with us. Hit the thumb if that hatchet scene still hurts, subscribe to Walker Atlas, and name the world that came closest to keeping Rick.
