After a huge time jump and major “ death ,” The Walking Dead Season 9 mid-season finale has a lot to live up to – and it doesn’t disappoint! Luckily, instead of filler scenes about the new threat coming our way, Daryl, Aaron, and Jesus find out pretty quickly that the walkers are not acting normally. It’s an uneasy scene with characters that I can’t wait to explore more (maybe minus Daryl). This, along with a focus on certain zombies in the herd, gives us a compelling introduction to the Whisperers. For those who aren’t familiar with Skybound’s The Walking Dead , the Whisperers are a hostile group of survivors who skin zombies and wear their skins to blend in with herds. The fact that these people will dress up in rotting skin every day says a lot about who they are and the lengths they are willing to go to survive. I would not want to mess with this group, and I’m eagerly waiting for more of this new and exciting threat. The next scene was just as compelling! As children ...

Six years have passed. The communities are thriving (most of them), and Rick still affects the group, even though he is presumed dead . Rick's death especially affects Michonne, and she constantly mourns his death. She is uncertain of his fate because she never found a body. Will we see Rick and Michonne reunite? Seeing as AMC told us Rick won't appear in the TV show again, chances are slim.  However, since Andrew Lincoln will portray Rick Grimes in three big-budget movies , their reunion is still possible if it is in a movie rather than a TV episode.  In this episode, we get to see a continuation of the scene we saw in last week’s episode. Judith Grimes, now ten years old, is helping a new group of survivors. These survivors include Magna, Luke, Yumiko, Connie, and Kelly. It’s revealed that Connie is deaf and communicates with her group members via sign language – ASL (American Sign Language). I love seeing more deaf representation in the media, and...

After eight years, nine seasons, and 120 episodes, Rick Grimes' story has come to an end. In May of 2018, rumors arose that season nine of The Walking Dead would be Andrew Lincoln's last season as Rick Grimes. In July, those rumors were confirmed. This resulted in a lot of upset fans who threatened to stop watching the show once Rick left. This is not a good status for the show as fans were already upset about Carl's recent death in the past season. In the last episode of The Walking Dead , Rick was attempting to distract a group of walkers away from the recently built bridge. He is soon surrounded by zombies and he is thrown off his horse onto a metal rod. This episode starts with a hallucinating Rick trying to wake up season one Rick in the hospital. Then, the tables are turned and season one Rick wakes up current Rick to a horde of zombies coming his way. Rick struggles to release himself the pole that pierced him. Once he finally does, he weakly crawly to...

After hyping up Rick Grimes' last episode of  The Walking Dead , AMC has revealed that Rick Grimes is not done yet.  Huge news for fans of The Walking Dead ! According to the Hollywood Reporter , Rick Grimes will appear in three AMC movies! "The actor, who officially departed the flagship series Sunday, will reprise his role as Rick Grimes in a trio of big-budget, feature-length movies that will air on the basic cable network." In the most recent episode of The Walking Dead , Rick Grimes seemingly sacrifices himself to save his community and family from a massive group of zombies.  When he causes an explosion on the bridge, he is presumed dead. However, he is found by Anne. Anne brings him aboard a mysterious helicopter that is transporting Rick to an unknown location.  It looks like Rick's story won't be coming to an end after all. The first of three movies is currently being written by Gimple and will start production in 2...
