SEASON 7 FINALE 

WHAT'S WITH THE WOODEN SOLDIER?

The writers dropped in a little nod to the last season of The Walking Dead that was apparently too subtle for sections of the audience to process.

In an intense moment, Daryl came across a small carved wooden soldier, with the words ‘DIDN'T KNOW’ etched into its back.

Any die-hard The Walking Dead fan will cast their minds back to season six, during which we discovered Dwight carved the soldiers – a fact that many of us, along with Daryl, are certain of.

Thus, the message etched on the figure which is synonymous with Dwight – a man who had previously been thought to betray Rick’s gang – tells a different story to that of the previous back-stabbing plot.

Finally, this tiny nod to last season shows that Daryl understands Dwight’s loyalty remains with Rick – not the murderous Negan – alongside all of our hearts.

Meanwhile, the zombies continue to rampage and the human factions just can’t stop their in-fighting.

The Walking Dead Season 8 returns later this year.
