You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.199.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 12:56, 12 May 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

"'''Start to Finish'''" is the eighth episode and mid-season finale of the [[The Walking Dead season 6|sixth season]] of the [[Apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic fiction|post-apocalyptic]] [[Horror fiction|horror]] [[television series]] ''[[The Walking Dead (TV series)|The Walking Dead]]'', which aired on [[AMC (TV channel)|AMC]] on November 29, 2015. The episode was written by Matthew Negrete and directed by Michael E. Satrazemis.

The episode focuses on the survivors fleeing and finding shelter from the gargantuan swarm of walkers that have invaded the Alexandria Safe-Zone.

==Plot==
The church tower smashes three panels of the wall, and everyone scrambles for whatever shelter they can find as hundreds of walkers pour inside Alexandria. [[Maggie Greene|Maggie]] is forced up the ladder to a lookout post and lies back on the platform, trapped but out of sight from the walkers that surround the lookout post. [[Eugene Porter|Eugene]] finds a walkie-talkie on the ground but only mutter "help" before being rescued by [[Tara Chambler|Tara]] and [[Rosita Espinosa|Rosita]] and taking shelter in a garage. The group of [[Rick Grimes|Rick]], [[Carl Grimes|Carl]], Judith, [[Michonne]], [[Gabriel Stokes (The Walking Dead)|Gabriel]], [[Deanna Monroe|Deanna]], and her own sons Ron and Sam take shelter in the home of [[Jessie Anderson (The Walking Dead)|Jessie]]. Outside the wall, [[Glenn Rhee|Glenn]] convinces [[Enid (The Walking Dead)|Enid]] to enter Alexandria and help the others. They later climb the wall opposite the breach and spot Maggie trapped atop a lookout post.

At Jessie's house, Deanna has been discovered to be bitten. Later, Carl checks on a distressed Ron who blames Rick for what's happening and lashes out at Carl, breaking a garage window and drawing the attention of walkers. Rick breaks down the interior garage door to get the boys out as the walkers enter; Carl covers for Ron while confiscating his handgun.

Meanwhile, [[Carol Peletier|Carol]] has taken shelter with [[Morgan Jones (The Walking Dead)|Morgan]] in his house. She feigns a concussion in order to have Morgan drop his guard, and she attacks him and breaks into the basement. Denise has been locked down there treating the captured Wolf. Carol bursts in and threatens the Wolf with a knife, but Morgan interposes himself between them. They fight and Morgan defeats her but he is then blindsided by the Wolf.

Eugene picks the interior door lock of a garage to gain entry to the attached home. He, Tara, and Rosita end up walking in on the Wolf who holds Carol's knife to Denise's throat, taking her hostage. They surrender their weapons to him, and the Wolf escapes with Denise.

The damage Ron had caused in the garage allows the walkers to break through into Jessie's house, forcing everyone to retreat to the second floor. Knowing they will soon be overrun, Rick decides to make a desperate attempt at escape: he kills and guts two walkers, hoping they can camouflage themselves with their insides and pass through the herd. They slowly make it to the porch while Deanna, left behind, kills several walkers before letting them kill her. Holding hands to stay together, the group enters the walker-infested street quiet but for a frightened Sam who repeatedly calls out for his mother.

In a post-credits scene, [[Daryl Dixon|Daryl]], [[Abraham Ford|Abraham]] and [[Sasha Williams (The Walking Dead)|Sasha]] are still headed back to Alexandria, but are stopped by a group of bikers blocking the road. One of the bikers tells them to give up all their supplies and their truck, to which, Daryl asks, "Why should we?". The biker then claims, "Your property, now belongs to [[Negan]]".

===Critical reception===
"Start to Finish" received poor reviews from critics. The episode received a 36% rating with an average score of 6.23 out of 10 on the review aggregator [[Rotten Tomatoes]]. The critics' consensus reads: ""Start to Finish" fails to live up to ''The Walking Dead''(('))s potential with a midseason finale that is both dull and frustrating."<ref name="Ep8">((cite web |url=http://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/the-walking-dead/s06/e08/ |title=Start to Finish |publisher=[[Rotten Tomatoes]] |access-date=September 11, 2018))</ref> According to [[Rotten Tomatoes]], "Start to Finish" was the worst reviewed episode of the series until it was surpassed by the [[The Walking Dead season 8|eight season]] episode "[[The King, the Widow, and Rick]]".<ref>((cite web |url=http://comicbook.com/2015/12/01/the-walking-deads-midseason-6-finale-is-worst-reviewed-of-series/ |title=The Walking Dead's Midseason 6 Finale Is Worst Reviewed Episode Of Series |last=Davis |first=Brandon |publisher=Comic Book |date=December 1, 2015 |access-date=December 1, 2015))</ref>

Matt Fowler of [[IGN]] gave it a 7.3 out of 10 and wrote in his verdict: ""Start to Finish" gets points for keeping Alexandria around and in the mix, but loses a bunch for dropping us right as things started to get exciting. Especially since the rest of the episode was filled with conflicts we hoped we wouldn't have to see in the midst of a giant walker invasion (Carl/Ron, Carol/Morgan)."<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/11/30/the-walking-dead-start-to-finish-review |title=The Walking Dead: "Start to Finish" Review |last=Fowler |first=Matt |publisher=[[IGN]] |date=November 29, 2015 |access-date=November 29, 2015))</ref>

Zack Handlen of ''[[The A.V. Club]]'' gave it a C+ grade and wrote, "a bunch of cliffhangers sounds like a smart way to close things out for the year, but none of this is promising us the sight of anything new." He also wrote "the only scene tonight that sets up a new storyline happened after the credits—happened, in fact, ten minutes after “Start To Finish” (sic) had actually ended. But judging this hour on its own terms, it’s full of clumsy, stupid people doing clumsy, stupid things."<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.avclub.com/tvclub/walking-dead-shuffles-through-its-midseason-finale-229017 |title=Walking Dead shuffles through its midseason finale |first=Zack |last=Handlen |work=[[The A.V.
