TWD was renewed for a 10th season this week (as expected).

Part2 of S9 starts Sunday. One of the better seasons I think so far.

They say that every season, that's why everyone has been jumping ship.

Michonne leaving a la Rick and Maggie in Season 10.

I'm not too down on the departures. Rick's character was tired. Carl was my all time least favorite character. I was bored with Maggie, but liked the possibilities of her being a bad ass. Michonne's character was getting a little tired like Rick's. Jesus never did if for me.

Daryl is my favorite. If he were to go, I'd be pissed. If Negan has a larger part in second half of the season, that's all I'll need to stay interested. The addition coming up of the leader (Alpha) of the whisperers will probably be one of the best actors to ever join the cast. Lot of potential in part 2 of the season.

I watched the episode tonight, was half paying attention. It’s more of a “Whelp I’ve lasted this long, may as well see this through”

I enjoyed it. Love the Negan/Judith dynamic. Wonder if Negan ends up being a true "savior" this season....

Disappointed we didn't meet Alpha this episode.

Good back story episode. Finally got to see why Michonne turned out the way she did and is being all about Alexandria and not allowing new entries into the community. From the looks of the previews, the final two episodes of the season will be gut wrenching.

Complaint- not sure what the hell happened but did anyone else have problems throughout the episode with the show just.randomly and frequently cutting to commercials? I know there’s lots of breaks but these commercials were being cut to in the middle of scenes and sometimes in the middle of sentences. Not sure how much I missed but that kind of pissed me off.

didn't have that problem.
and yup, good episode. was surprised to see Michonne do XXX, but thought they could have done that scene better, and perhaps more brutal/raw. i think the whole thing with that leader could have been spread over a couple episodes as well. seemed like quick entry/exit. watched the last 10 minutes of the Talking Dead and saw the sneak teaser for next week..... surrounded!

I had watched the show since the beginning but finally ripped off the bandaid a couple weeks ago & gave up on it...show's been going downhill for so long that I don't miss it at all.

I agree with this. I think that the killing of the "children Of The Corn" was done as well as it could have been done in this PC age. Im sure that it would be hard to show the killing of little kids regardless of their level of evil and see how it would be quite upsetting to some if done graphically. I do really like how Michonne seemed to try not to kill them but HAD TO to save Judith and the other "Non possessed kids".

If the show follows the comics there are going to be some shocking deaths coming up. People you don't expect to die. Show definitely needs it.

I haven't seen last night's episode but I did like the one from last week. The deaf character is pretty cool and I like the potential love interest for Daryl. I'm not a huge fan of the focus on Carol's "son" though. He shouldn't be so stupid considering he was raised in the post-apocalyptic world most of his life.

You forget what it's like to be 16 with a body full of hormones and a raging boner. Plus, it's not like there's a swath of eligible teen girls to dry hump. You might fall for the first girl wearing a skinned zombie face too!

Yep. Discipline goes right out the door when a young piece of trim slips you some tongue and says she like you.

if you've spent the past 9 years of your life watching this show, you need a lobotomy. Take it from someone who regrettably watched LOST throughout its never-ending decline -- rip the band aid off now

From things I have read the "shocking" deaths won't be anyone we will miss.. IE not really any main characters.

Just wow. Saw a few of the deaths coming but some...damn even though you know what’s coming that was tough to see. Very well done from the visuals to the music playing. War on.

Haven't watched it yet but couldn't resist checking out the thread.

Ok cool cool.

Alright, some excitement brewing.

Too bad, really like the Highwaymen fellas.

Dammit - read too far.

SPOILERS for bey. Don't read further if you don't want to know





























Would have rather had order go

DJ- Ex-Savior
Highwaymen#2
Ozzy Highwaymen #1
Dickhead male teen
Annoying but kind of nice female teen
Redhead- Would have loved to have had some sort of tie in with Negan but I'm not sure how attached he was to her.
Rose- old hick. Glad she's gone
Enid
Tara
Henry

Really surprised Ezekiel didn't get it but I honestly like that the King is still around to avenge his boy. Really hope that there was an emotional attachment of some sort for Negan with the red head. Was hoping someone would go that would encourage Negan to get f'd off and join the cause. Just don't see any of these deaths having that much of an effect on him.

Great show. I know many are down on TWD, but this season has been very good IMO.
So starting out this season we lost Rick (still alive somewhere), and then Maggie (still alive somewhere), and Jesus. The losses last night were very impacting (one of the community leaders) and a few major personalities, but overall weren't huge.

Wish we could have seen more of the highwaymen. I thought Brett Butler was a nice addition and hate to see her gone. Enid was the only one that made me go "oh my" though. Tara has always been a meh to me.

My only wish, RELEASE THE NEGAN.
I'd love to see him mix it up with Beta, although I think it will be Daryl. A great scene would be Negan and Judith taking out Beta and Alpha.

Love Morton. Great addition to the cast.

Agree. Whole season is very good. Have to hope that with Rosita and Eugene fixing that radio system that some how some way they can use that to make contact with Rick/ Maggie/ others.

Really liked how the highwaymen were being developed and I wish that they would have kept Ozzy.

Enid was valuable to the community but didn't see her death as a major blow to show.

Tara was a shocker. Didn't think that they would kill off that many leaders of the same community in one season. Yeah, her character was a turd but still everyone seemed to like and respect her at Hilltop.

Henry. Dear sweet innocent Henry. Being a good boy in the apocalypse does not lead to a long life in the zombie apocalypse.

Agree 100% on RELEASE THE NEGAN

Henry got killed because of hard penis. I saw that one coming.

If any leader had to go, glad it was Tara. Enid was a great actress, and thought she could have developed into much more. Definitely the most "likable" of the beheaded.

I hope Judith makes Negan a new Lucille. I'm so looking forward to the eventual love story between Negan and Michonne lol. Judith needs a daddy.

That would be crazy if Rick comes back and they are a couple. He would lose his shit.

Nah man. With today's TV writing, they'd just end up being a new aged threesome household. Half kidding. I'm half surprised they didn't play that card with Rosita.
