There was a hint at the end of the show that this is the case.
I have similar concerns Chris. They have the second and final season of World Beyond starting this week (I think) and that is supposed to be a direct lead in to the Rick Grimes movies. I fully expect Rick and Michonne to show up in the Walking Dead series finale and those movies need to happen pretty quick to explain what Rick's been doing since he "died" in the show.
If you did not watch last night's episode, even if you haven't watched the show in a while, go watch it! They put a lot of great horror elements in it and using Connie's perspective (she's deaf, so they removed the sound), it was done brilliantly. Then I saw that the episode was directed by Greg Nicotero, so it made sense.
Actually, there was a nuclear meltdown two seasons ago. How there wasn't one on the nuclear sub is beyond me!
The episode with Grace giving birth did not hold my attention too much. I did not care for it outside the cult dude attacking them. Morgan should've killed him when he had the chance...that's going to come back to bite them in the ass.
I know it models the comics, but count me among those that don't love Sam as the new Cap. I like the way they did it, but I would have liked to see Bucky with the shield instead. Plus his costume is a little cornball. That said, I think this is exactly the right time to do a story where a black American finds a way to represent a government that has not been historically kind to people of color. It felt a little forced at times, but hopefully it sends a positive message to those that need to hear it.
I liked the series overall, but didn't love it. The chemistry with Sam and Bucky is great and Zemo was awesome. I could have used more setup with Sharon Carter - how did she get to where she's at now as the Power Broker? That's a big change from the PB's storyline in the comics. I also didn't really understand what the Flag Smashers were fighting for. They want things to go back to how they were before all the Blip people came back, but what did they want to do with all the blip people? I wish they had come up with a better motivation for these guys - or maybe I'm the only one that really didn't get what they were fighting for.
Curious to see what happens to Walker next. He kind of redeemed himself at the end (happy ending!), but I thought he was better as a mentally unstable rogue agent. I would have liked to see him lose everything versus just a court martial, then have some shady government agency scoop him up as a black-ops punisher-style super agent. As it stands, he looks like just another super strong hero to jump around in the background. JLD as Val was a nice surprise, as was seeing the raft. I think we're heading towards a Raft break-out eventually, which would be a fun storyline to watch.
