The Walking Dead season 8 kicks off with its premiere (which also happens to be its 100th episode) this weekend. That's a lot of episodes, and it's been a while since we've caught up with Rick, Negan, and the rest, making it easy to forget some of the key events and character developments from season 7. 

That's problematic, as you'll need to know your Dwights from your Daryls and your Hilltops from your Heapsters if you want to stay invested in everything that's going on this season, especially as the pace is likely to significantly ratchet up during the war for Alexandria.
