'Walking Dead' podcast & photos: Back on the road to action

SAN ANTONIO -- Well hallelujah, Rick and the gang are finally taking steps to take down Negan and the Saviors.

Sure, it was a foregone conclusion. But "The Walking Dead" has dragged it out too much over this so-far downer of a season in the shadow of Lucille.

So what's going on going into this second half of season 7? How about Gabriel seemingly in cahoots with a gang of hoodies. And Rick playing to Ezekiel's ren-faire theatricality and deep-down convictions. And Gregory and Rosita charming as ever. Oh, and only one of the freshest new ways to slice through a horde of zombies since the show first aired.

Yeah, things be happening alright. So let's gab a bit about all the action in Sunday's episode, "Rock in the Road," where so much happened without so much as a casualty among the living. Hit the podcast and do check out the official episode images from AMC.
