The Walking Dead Season 9, Episode 5: What Comes After The Walking Dead Season 9, Episode 4: The Obliged The Walking Dead Season 9, Episode 3: Warning Signs The Walking Dead Season 9, Episode 2: The Bridge The Walking Dead Season 9, Episode 1: A New Beginning We doubt they'd kill her, but can they really just have another character wander off? The big question: With the news that Danai Gurira is leaving the series, the question becomes just how Michonne will be written out. MVP: Daryl, slayer of some Whisperers, sparer of others. Zombie of the week: The poor, ash-covered creature encountered by Negan. Quote of the week: "Language! I'm a kid, asshole!" – Judith, channelling Steve Rogers until she very much isn't. Kill of the week: The Whisperer taken down by a bolt from Daryl, consumed by the walkers he was wandering with. Lowlight: Judith Grimes: amazing tracker. There's the creeping feeling that it hasn't yet done enough to win back a lot of viewers, and the whole tension-between-the-communities angle has apparently taken a backseat for now without much in the way of real resolution. The Walking Dead is still facing challenges as it ages and the ratings continue to slip. It was atmospherically shot by Greg Nicotero, who as usual brought the goods when it came to the zombie scenes, but also has a sure touch with moments that are simply characters talking.

Yep, our heroes are in trouble again and while the idea of the masks and the travelling with zombies thing is a mildly interesting twist after what seemed like years of Negan and his cronies, the jury's out on whether the show will make them truly interesting now we're about to properly meet their leader, Alpha (yes, that was Samantha Morton at the end.)Īside from that, most of the main character work was a combination of checking in with those at Hilltop, the return of Jesus' body and people either heading out to look for the escaped Negan (more on that later) and Alden (Callan McAuliffe) and Luke (Dan Fogler) chatting about music before being caught in a Whisperer ambush.Īdaptation (continuing the evolutionary science theme from the last episode) slowed things down again, and moved a few storylines forward. Captured and imprisoned at Hilltop, she spilled a few details about her fellow Whisperers, albeit mostly that they'll be a danger because they believe all other living folk present a threat to them. The creepy folk who wear the skins of the undead and shuffle along with zombie herds murmuring suggestions to drive them towards living targets were given an actual, human face in the form of Lydia (Cassady McClincy). But it was hard to see whether much had real impact, despite the introduction of new villainous group The Whisperers. The fallout from that dramatic "fall finale" (recapped in lengthy fashion by Danai Gurira's Michonne with much more detail than your average Dead previously segment) reverberated through the first episode back from the break. Spoilers will lurk like groaning walkers. Be warned! This review will cover aspects of the episode.

Pre-order my new sci-fi novel Herokiller, and read my first series, The Earthborn Trilogy, which is also on audiobook. People like the current one.Īnyway, I thought this was interesting, maybe you did too.įollow me on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. I expect we’ll stay in this timeline for a while so the show doesn’t uh, have to recast Judith for the 20th time. While the comic had a time jump as well, I don’t think it was quite this long. So, really, we are pretty much at nine years of the show’s timeline, and nine years of the show airing, as everything caught up to “real life time” last season.

Though I would love another one of these timelines done for Fear to give greater clarity, more than just me spitballing off the top of my head. So Fear is maybe…4-5 years behind the main show, thanks to its huge time jump.

Then I think there have been maybe two more years since he arrived between the Madison flashbacks to the fall of baseball diamond to the year or so they spent at the factory trying to help people. I have no idea where Fear the Walking Dead fits in here, but if I had to guess, let’s estimate that it took Morgan six months to get from Alexandria to Texas where he meets the Fear group.
