🔥7 Clues Rick Grimes Will Take Over The CRM In His Walking Dead 🔥
0After Rick sacrifices himself to destroy the bridge in The Walking Dead season 9, he's taken captive by the CRM — the group of soldiers tasked with protecting a hidden community in Pennsylvania. Although the city appears to be self-governing, the CRM is clearly the source of power. Rick, like other cosignees who are "rescued" by the CRM, is forced to perform hard labor. In exchange, the Civic Republic promotes these rescued cosignees to citizens — after six years. After attempting to escape several times, Rick shows no signs of wanting to be promoted.
Even so, The Walking Dead's Lieutenant Colonel Okafor (Craig Tate) goes to bat for Rick. While the CRM's leading officer, Major General Beale (Terry O'Quinn), asks Rick if he wants to kill or be killed, it's Okafor who vouches for Rick. To Okafor, it's clear that Rick has more potential than the average post-apocalyptic survivor. Beyond his hardened exterior and his aptitude for violence, Rick boasts undeniable leadership skills. Clearly, Okafor recognizes that; Rick's furious reaction to Okafor more than solidifies that the long-time Walking Dead protagonist feels it too.
Since Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) left The Walking Dead (TWD) in season 9, viewers have waited to see where the former main character's story would take him. Having survived his apparent sacrificial play in TWD, Rick winds up being involved with the Civic Republic Military (CRM) — the most robust organized army The Walking Dead universe has ever seen. In "Years," the premiere episode of The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live, Rick grapples with his confinement by the all-powerful CRM. Unable to see a way out, the former sheriff's deputy contemplates death by suicide, but decides against it.
While the CRM is the name for The Ones Who Live's antagonist army, the larger community at play is the Pennsylvania-based Civic Republic. The episode skips ahead a few years to show Rick Grimes and his fellow CRM cosignees out on an assignment. Tethered to a CRM soldier, Rick cuts off his chained hand — a brutal twist on an iconic Walking Dead comic event. Although he's tasered pretty immediately, Rick clearly isn't just giving in to the CRM's way of life. If anything, The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live hints at Rick's future as a CRM leader.
