The Walking Dead - Season 9

thanks...

 

don't know but I hope he causes havoc! Go Neegan! off those whimpniks...

 

my wife is already missing it...I'm reprieved. : )

 

Yes the evolving zombie could have worked for a bit longer definitely!

 

So I am some-what caught up. I was only able to see the season opener before Hurricane Michael hit and wiped out the cable companies. I've been going back and catching up but I did some skipping around. I went straight to Andrew Lincoln's last episode and then watched the rest to finish up. So did I miss anything in between that I need to see? I'll try and go back at some point and see what I missed but if I didn't miss much I'll skip out.

 

You must mean Rick?

 

I just started watching Z-Nation and can't believe how much better that show is in terms of entertainment. The characters get into a situation and get out of it in an episode or two, they don't drag it on for season(s).

 

I actually agree with you, and I watched it faithfully every season. A great zombie series, that
occasionally had some humor.
Unfortunately, it's now been cancelled. Hate to see it go....
'Z Nation' Canceled at Syfy

 

Another show star is leaving.

'Walking Dead': What Danai Gurira's Exit Means for Its Future

 

Holy hell, she's gone now too...they may as well end it! Man, Scott Gimple absolutely destroyed the story/characters to the point they are all leaving!

 

they made sure they wimped her out first...

 

She's got plenty of other good gigs, I'm surprised she still found the time for "Walking Dead" as long as she did.

 

Dang it, Z Nation was a blast, I enjoyed it far more than Walking Dead.

 

she was fabulous in Black Panther...we were happy to see her in this.

 

So nothing yet on the first two episodes of the 2nd half of the seas0n? How the mighty as fallen...

I'm certainly no fanboy and the last few years have been a struggle, but I do really like the direction where these two episodes are going. Still far from perfect, this new group of mask-wearing walkers are interesting and the leader is being set up to be a bad ass. With Rick gone and Michonne leaving, wondering who will emerge as the new leader. Though absent (except for 1 shot last night), Carol could certainly take the reigns. I like a 2 women being the leaders of their respective groups.

 

I've watched the first two eps of the second half of season 9.

I got nuthin.'

Oh, all right. Here are a couple things I liked:

Spoiler

In the first episode, Negan's journey was pretty interesting, and I was very surprised where it ended up.

In the second episode, the girl actually having a breakthrough about her mom's brainwashing was refreshing (if it's legit). I just expected her to be the usual bad guy group spy that tells them what they want to hear, and then uses it against them (still could be the case, but I hope not.)

Other than THAT...nuthin.'

 

So with Michonne leaving who is senior person to lead them? Tara? No thanks.

 

going in a positive direction so far for me.

 

Dull so far , frankly I'll be happy to see Michonne gone she has really started to annoy me.

Whisper, scowl, scowl, whisper, repeat.

Unfortunately I'm not seeing any strong character left on the show.

 

You're forgetting about Carol. She may be living a different type of life now with Ezekiel, but I'm
guessing she's still the baddass she's always been and is perfectly suited to be leader (with Darryl).

 

That was my thought as well. Earlier this year, she single handedly wiped out that group of men that stole from her and her son. She can crank it to 11 when needed.

 

Well so far, so good. The storyline has picked up although I can’t figure out why anyone would want to be part of Alpha’s group. Were they rejects from Jadis’ Garbage People? It’s as if some people in the post-apocalyptic world continue to devolve over time.

I agree with the above post that Tara isn’t a good fit as Hilltop’s leader.

 

As a side note, Norman Reedus' show "Ride With Norman" has been a Walking Dead reunion
so far this new season. The first episode not only had Jeffery Dean Morgan, but they went
to Andrew Lincoln's home and spent time with him and Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull). The
second episode was entirely with Steven Yeun. And last night's episode was just him and
Melissa McBride (Carol) traveling all over Scotland. It was the best show so far, and she
is really terrific, cute and down to earth. And she and Norman are obviously extremely
close and funny together (especially when they're talking about farting in the car).

 

may not be to everyone's taste but i'm liking the new episodes so far, especially last night.

 

Found the season unremarkable so far but the baby rescue scene was a welcome return to some sustained tension and actually caring about the outcome.
