Spoilers for 'The Walking Dead' Season 10 finale 'A Certain Doom'

Even though the Season 10 finale of 'The Walking Dead' was focused mostly on the end of the Whisperer arc, there were many tidbits that fans enjoyed. From Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) and Carol's (Melissa McBride) moments to Judith Grimes (Cailey Fleming) and Maggie Greene (Lauren Cohan) running, they were all tear-jerking for sure. But, there was also a treat for the fans of the comic book series, as the Commonwealth arc, which is a huge part of the comic series, finally began at the end of the finale. "Those stormtroopers are Commonwealth soldiers- we at the last arc of the comics," wrote one fan. 



 

We saw Eugene (Josh McDermitt), King Ezekiel (Khary Payton), Yumiko (Eleanor Matsuura), and Princess (Paola Lázaro) together and still on their way to meet Stephanie (Margot Bingham). Although there might have been a time where Eugene lost hope - he has a major crush on Stephanie - he pulled it together after a pep talk from Yumiko and Ezekiel. Again, their journey didn't take up too much of the finale, which most fans were expecting it would, but the end had the quad up against armed guards of the Commonwealth. Granted they looked like stormtroopers from 'Star Wars' but we're not mad since the series is mirroring the comics! "Commonwealth is here! #TWD #TheWalkingDead" tweeted another fan, with pictures comparing images from the comics and the series. "Bruh they got the commonwealth uniforms perfect. #TheWalkingDead #TWD #TheWalkingDeadfinale" tweeted another fan.



 



 

While some fans were mad that the Commonwealth didn't take up much of the finale, others were glad that the foundation was set up meaning Season 11 will begin with the Commonwealth arc. While one sad fan tweeted, "That was probably one of the worst finales of #TWD Its right up there with the season 6 cliff hanger. Missed on so many crucial comic book elements. Beta death was just sad. The commonwealth plot line was a minor part despite being so huge. Wasn’t worth the wait #TheWalkingDead". Another positive fan added, "What a packed episode. We started with The Whisperer War, and we ended with the debut of the Commonwealth. It took six months, but this was a quality roller coaster. Let's do this again soon. #TheWalkingDead #TWD #TWDFamily," wrote one fan.

Yet another fan added, "THE COMMONWEALTH HAVE OFFICIALLY ARRIVED!! That scene was so badass!! All of them running out, the suits look amazing, and...Eugene’s face ...and last stare down with that soldier #TWD   #TWDUniverse #TheWalkingDead".
