This is going to be an interesting season.  I agree with Maggie's decision, and I say it's about time that so and so was done away with.

 

Daryl was cute on Talking Dead regarding Carol and Ezekiel, lol.

mousiegirl, this is one time I disagree with you, if Negan is dead he won't suffer, if a prisoner without privileges he will hate life and wish he was dead.  The death penalty is too easy. Other than that it was great seeing all of them again.

Re: THE WALKING DEAD SEASON 9

Overall, I liked the episode. It reminded me of the earlier episodes of seasons one and two. People actually having conversations and interacting with each other.

 

I like that they're finally addressing the deterioration of highways/roads and bridges, fuel/gas running out.

 

Loved that Daryl is finally having some dialogue than just grunting. He probably spoke more last night than he did all of last season. Loved the conversation between he and Carol.

 

I like that Carol is with Ezekiel, they seem like a good match. Loved how he called her 'Lady' Carol. How sweet was it that she asked Jerry to look after him? LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Jerry!! I hope they give him more scenes this season.

 

Rick expecting the Hilltop and the other communities to still be helping the Saviors after 18 months is absurd. Are they really that helpless that they can't stand on their own and take care of themselves? 

 

 

Spoiler
Gregory was a backstabbing, sniveling snake, but he was a really good villain. I don't blame Maggie for what she did, but I'll kind of miss the 'ol weasel.
 

 

It was nice that they gave an 'In Memoriam' to Scott Wilson.

 

And speaking of Scott Wilson,

Spoiler
I read that he already filmed his upcoming cameo. It'll be nice to see Hershel one last time, but it'll be bittersweet.

Re: THE WALKING DEAD SEASON 9

I see more drama happening than in the past few seasons (it was all about Negan then.)  I liked the various storylines. 

 

I never had a feeling for Maggie's character one way or the other; however, she has really become a hardnosed you-know-what!  I agree with her that Gregory needed to go.  My husband said 'he's a pot stirrer' and he hit the nail on the head.

 

I get Daryl's feelings - he liked the closeknit small group they once were.  I don't think he's cut out to be 'in charge' of any of the groups.  He's funny because even though he doesn't like being around all of those people, he still has the need for people, so I don't think he can run away like Morgan did.

 

Richonne - They both have 'take charge' attitudes but it's resulting in their butting heads with others, like Maggie. 

 

Carol and the King are so cute together!  I loved his reaction when she told him to put that ring away when he asked her to marry him.  I hope she doesn't get in over her head with the Saviors, although she can definitely hold her own.

 

I like the overall feel of the show - it seems cohesive, easy to understand what's going on and has an air of optimism, even though there's alot of drama taking place.

I fell asleep for the first time in 9 seasons.  Kind of dozed throughout, and not because I was tired. 

 

I was never a fan of Maggie and will not miss her when she leaves for a new series on primetime TV.

 

I always thought Carol would end up with Ezekiel; it was obvious he admired her right from the beginning.  Sweet.

 

I was hoping to see Dwight; I know Daryl told him never to come back but it would have been nice to see him reunite with his wife since she is still alive.  I always felt sorry for him regardless of his actions.

 

Tara and Jesus are dead weights, imo.

 

Norman Reedus is in negotiations to become the lead once Andrew Lincoln leaves, so I would imagine his role will be more as a leader.  I agree he misses the closeness of a small group, though.

 

The Whisperers will be the new antagonists, with Samantha Morton (Harlots) being the alpha. 

 

Jadis (Anne) sure looked different.

 

And finally, I still miss Carl.Smiley Sad  He was supposed to take over the lead from Rick and I think that storyline would have held more interest that seeing Daryl.  Carl "got it" more than Daryl and Maggie ever did.

@Cakers3  I agree about Jesus, irks me no end, lol.  I really like Tara, so hope she stays around for a long time.  I won't miss Maggie either.

 

It looked as if a girl called Daryl over to her in the beginning and that they kissed, but she was probably telling him something as it would probably have been mentioned on Talking Dead.  I wonder when Daryl will have a love relationship, I think it is about time.

 

I don't miss anyone who is not there now, and won't miss Rick either, out of sight, out of mind.  There were several that at the time of their deaths, I was upset about. I was surprised that Maggie didn't name her son after Glen, probably gave the baby Glen's name as a middle name.

@mousiegirl  Yes, the girl who looked as though she was giving Daryl a kiss was actually telling him about the others who were putting up a "live" zombie like a scarecrow. 

 

I didn't watch Talking Dead.

 

Daryl and Carol were so close in the earlier days and then the storyline just had them drift apart all of a sudden.   I looked at Carol as almost a mother figure or big sister for Daryl more than a love interest anyway, since Daryl lost Meryl and their childhood had been a big mess.  Carol brough stability to Daryl.

 

I will miss Rick; he always tried to make a deal regardless of how serious a situation would be, to try to work things out to have peace.  This is where Carl would have taken over nicely.  Idiot producers killling off Carl.

@Cakers3  I agree re Carol and Daryl.  I wish you could have seen Talking Dead last night, he was so cute when Carol's new relationship was mentioned, several times, and he said that when Carol and Ezkeiel were kissing, he said to himself, that's taking a long time, LOL.

Re: THE WALKING DEAD SEASON 9

I wonder how Hershel, Sasha, and Shane will fit in.  My guess is that Rick will see them when he dies, the way Tyrese saw Beth, Noah, Mikka and Lizzie as he was dying.

 

Although I would think Rick would see Carl and Lori first.

 

I still get upset when I see the episode when Tyrese died and they placed his knitted cap on the cross on his grave.  Judith survived because of Tyrese.
