CAROL & DARYL REUNION BY THE CRITICS…
“Daryl and Carol’s reunion is easily the most emotional scene of the entire season…”
── Den Of Geek!
“There was a great reunion for Daryl and Carol. Seriously, those two characters are engaging to watch, so to see them getting together again was a treat. […] But really, the more scenes with Carol and Daryl the better.”
── TV Fanatic
“The Carol/Daryl scenes here were very good. It was as if a lot of the other nonsense could stop, or slow down, and we could focus in on one of the best pairings the show’s ever produced. The moment when he spared her the news (and she probably knew he was sparing her too) was amazing.” ── IGN
“The episode’s highlight: a tear-jerking reunion between the two original characters. […] and their responses, played affectingly by both McBride and Reedus show just that. In fact, the two haven’t flourished this much in a long while - viewers will undoubtedly be grateful for the two small scenes they share together.” ── Independent
“Daryl’s realization that Carol is in a house down the road is the best outcome for everyone on the show. Our two faves have an emotional reunion that requires few words. They’ve been through so much together, they know how the other is feeling.” ── USA TODAY
“The Daryl/Carol pairing has always been one of the show’s strongest, signifying a strong emotional bond […] Not to mention that Melissa McBride has long been the show’s acting MVP, with Norman Reedus not far behind.” ── IndieWire
“…a cozy and finely wrought reunion with Carol.There’s always been a special relationship between Daryl and Carol, forged by shared experiences and a natural affection, as well as a meaningful connection, one suspects, between two survivors of abuse. The fireside chat was their first moment together since Carol left last season, and Melissa McBride and Norman Reedus nicely portrayed the characters’ deep warmth and comfort as well as more anguished emotions keyed to recent events.” - Carol Sees an Old Friend, ── NY Times
“Daryl, of course, ain’t having it. If anything happens to Carol, from death to injury to ingrown toenail, he promises Richard, “I’ll kill ya.”Carol and Daryl have a sweet reunion as his voice quivers when he asks her, “Why’d you go?”” ── Vulture
“A glimmer of what The Walking Dead can be when it’s at its best shines through in New Best Friends, and unsurprisingly, it comes from the reunion of Carol and Daryl. It’s telling that the episode’s best moment is based on a relationship that was forged several seasons ago, because while the show has moved towards bigger and more exciting action and drama, it’s consequently lost its feel for the humanity of its survivors. The scene in Carol’s cabin is a clear reminder that The Walking Dead is best when it’s intimate, and it hasn’t been that for a long time. […] But he loves her, so he lies, and says everyone is fine. It’s getting hard to care about most of the survivors we see week in and week out, but you kinda wish Daryl would join Carol out in that cabin and they could just ride out the end of the world in quiet companionship. It’d be nice, you know? If anyone’s earned a semblance of peace, it’s those two. ” ──
THE WALKING DEAD IS BEST WHEN IT’S INTIMATE, ── GamesRadar+
“And funnily enough, the best scene comes at the end via the reuniting of Daryl and Carol. When pushed, The Walking Dead can do emotion, and it can do low-key, as it proves here.” ── SciFiNow
“Finally. It’s the moment we’ve waited for: No, unfortunately, Negan wasn’t killed in tonight’s episode (He was a no-show again), but Carol and Daryl were reunited and it was sweet and wonderful and all misty-eyed bittersweet. […] After way too many episodes apart, Daryl and Carol got together in her little cottage, and it was worth the wait.”
‘The Walking Dead’: Reunited and it feels so good, ── The Mercury News
“It’s good to have Carol back, if only briefly, as more than just a topic of conversation. The emotional intensity of her reunion with Daryl and the delicacy of their unspoken understanding are a welcome respite from all the grim scuffles and stalemates and unstable détentes that now dominate The Walking Dead more than ever. Their dialogue also feels unusually nuanced, partly because McBride plays Carol with such dignified strength and tremulous sorrow, but also because we get another showcase of the love between these two that’s been unspoken yet evident for so long.It’s not news to us when Carol explains why she left Alexandria, but it is to Daryl. More to the point, it’s the first time he’s heard it from her, though Morgan told him as much earlier in the episode, and given how much he must miss Carol and wonder why she left, he needed to hear her explanation. Similarly, his decision to tell her that merciful lie about how Alexandria beat the Saviors and everyone’s all right, in support of her desire to stay away from the group and its battles, is a touching demonstration of his love and respect, even if it’s also arguably paternalistic and dangerously likely to poison the trust between them, since she will surely learn the truth at some point.” ── Slant Magazine
“Daryl’s reunion with Carol […] the episode also doesn’t miss out on the emotions at play in seeing two popular characters back together after so many episodes apart.” - Screen Rant
“Did you all notice the novel she was reading before Daryl showed up? Denim Dreams, the kind of book featuring a cover of a buff, half-naked cowboy lassoing a mustang with one hand and getting to grips with his latest love interest with the other. Not what I expected at all.Still, she set aside the book to be reunited with buff, brooding Daryl. When Carol met Daryl – what a touching scene. She hadn’t seen him since before Negan wasted Glenn and Abraham and so was unaware of the hobbling of the Alexandrians. Daryl decided to spare her the horrible details and told her a lie, namely that the Alexandrians had come to terms with the Saviors and that none of Rick’s gang had perished. Why? She’s too fragile to handle the truth.” ── The Guardian
“After what felt like a lifetime, but was only really just about a full year, The Walking Dead finally reunited one of our favorite pair of characters…” - The Walking Dead Finally Gave Us the Reunion We’ve Been Waiting For,── E!Online
