The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live
Summary
Despite being ill-famed for destroying rival settlements across the United States , the CRM has not yet set on Alexandria , andThe Walking Dead : The Ones Who Liveepisode 1 excuse why . While the Civic Republic itself is a comparatively benignant entity , the Civic Republic Military that protect it is a minacious organisation that has commit genocide against legion other communities - most of which pose no menace whatsoever . As such , it come as something of a surprise thatThe Walking Dead ’s CRMhas not yet attacked the Alexandria - Hilltop - Oceanside confederation .
This is especially strange debate the CRM currently counts that alliance ’s former leader , Rick Grimes , among its ranks . Rick would , of course , never trade his community of interests out , but given that the CRM was working with Jadis when its fatal whirlybird first picked the dying protagonist up , all anterior indications suggested that the CRM was cognizant of Alexandria ’s macrocosm . That prospect became even more likely afterThe Walking Deadseason 11 ’s conclusion . Lance Hornsby was in secret in league with a larger community nearby , and the CRM jibe that verbal description dead . Once Alexandria took control of the Commonwealth , the CRM looked certain to have learned about Rick ’s friends .
lead by Andrew Lincoln and Danai Gurira , The Walking Dead : Rick & Michonne spinoff features a talented cast . But what fictional character are they playing ?
The CRM Doesn’t Know About Rick’s Former Community… Yet
perverse to expectations , The Walking Dead : The Ones Who Liveepisode 1 confirm that the CRM does not know about Alexandria . The relevant scene comes when a raging Rick finally confronts Okafor following another bollix up escape endeavour . Rick demands to know how much of his sprightliness pre - CRM the lieutenant colonel is aware of , and Okafor confirm that he read about a woman called " Michonne " in Rick ’s letters and escort an figure of a new girl he assumes to be Rick ’s girl etch onto a cellphone . While Rick is disturbed by this Book of Revelation , the scene actually prove how trivial the CRM truly sleep with .
The only reason Okafor is aware of Michonne and Judith is because he prise into Rick ’s personal messages .
The villainous organisation evidently has no noesis of Alexandria , Hilltop , or Oceanside , nor of Rick ’s past times . The only reason Okafor is cognisant of Michonne and Judith is because he pried into Rick ’s personal messages . Okafor goes on , threatening that if Rick Grimes strays out of line of reasoning again , it will be easy for the CRM to investigate survivors ring " Michonne " around the expanse Rick was first pick up . Once again , this line reinforces thatthe CRM does not currently know about Alexandria . Okafor believes it would be relatively straightforward to locate it , but this has not yet come to pass .

Intriguingly , Okafor and Rick ’s confrontation tacitly confirms Jadis has not give away anything about Alexandria and its friend to the CRM either . As seen inThe Walking idle : World Beyond , Jadis is now a military investigator within the CRM and was reward for bringing in Rick . Clearly , however , she has remained rigorous - lipped about the other survivors she briefly populate with following the war against the Saviors . This makes sense , asWorld Beyondalso revealed Jadis adopted the family name Stokes in honour of Gabriel . She would likely not have taken such a bathetic risk if her honcho were aware of Gabriel ’s beingness .
The Ones Who Live Debunks A Major Walking Dead Theory
By confirming that the CRM is not currently cognizant of Alexandria , The Walking Dead : The Ones Who Liveactually debunks several major theories . The big is that the CRM was blackmail Rick Grimes to join forces by peril to destroy Alexandria , which is simply not the case . Rick ’s reasons for ultimately cooperating with the CRM are entirely different , while the CRM is so firm and influential , it does n’t even call for to resort to blackmail as a coercive option .
Based on what Okafor says , Alexandria is so lowly that it barely registers as a blip on the CRM ’s radar at present .
The Ones Who Livealso debunks the mind that attacking Alexandria is part of the CRM ’s wider princely design . The way CRM whirlybird somehow avoid Rick ’s mathematical group until now hinted thatMajor General Bealehad designs for Alexandria and was quietly call his time before striking . Based on what Okafor says , Alexandria is so small that it barely record as a blip on the CRM ’s radar at present . Omaha and Portland - the other communities Beale targets - contain around 100,000 survivors each , making Alexandria and its allies modest fry in compare .
Despite scarce update , The Walking Dead : The 1 Who Live has revealed a new point that proves it can achieve what the Dead City spinoff could n’t .
While not debunk the approximation completely , The Ones Who Livealso pour cold weewee on thetheory that Lance Hornsby was working with the CRM . If Lance really did have an agreement to send troublesome Commonwealth citizen to the CRM for nefarious purposes , then the CRM could not have conk out to acknowledge the Commonwealth ’s disconnected modification of leadership . It may not have drawn the connection to Rick Grimes , but if the CRM had any dealings with the Commonwealth , it would surely have one middle on Alexandria .
The 1 Who Livewill of necessity reveal more in coming instalment , and the above hypothesis all hinges on the depth of Okafor ’s privileged cognition . As a deputy colonel , Okafor contain a very in high spirits rank within the nefarious system , so if he asserts that Major General Beale does not currently know about Michonne and Alexandria , his Good Book carry credence . Nevertheless , even Beale has his closed book . The villain might really know exactly where Rick comes from and what his friends have been doing , but has not partake in that intel with even his most trusted officers for some unsung reason .
Okafor Mentioning Alexandria Makes More Walking Dead Cameos Possible
Okafor is omen a troubling possible future for Rick ’s booster and fellowship .
merely by making the mesmerism that the CRM might one day enquire the expanse Rick Grimes was pick up , discover Alexandria , and then threaten its resident , Okafor is foreshadowing a troubling likely future for Rick ’s friends and family inThe walk Dead : The one Who last . It now looks inevitable that , rather or by and by , the CRM will turn its attention toward Rick and Michonne ’s people , whether in revenge for something the yoke do or because it deems the residential district a threat .
If that does chance , The unity Who Livewill have a golden chance to incorporate cameo from the franchise ’s larger universe of discourse . Any eccentric who was still alive and last in Alexandria or the surrounding communities when the main show terminate could practicably re-emerge inThe Walking utter : The 1 Who Liveshould the CRM set up an attack . Especially important for Rick and Michonne ’s tale will be cameos from Cailee Fleming as Judith and Antony Azor as RJ . Rick ’s write up would simply not feel accomplished without a long - awaited Grimes family reunification .
The Walking Dead : The Ones Who Livecontinues Sunday on AMC .
