"The Walking Dead Season-Premiere Recap: Rebuilding.." Topic

…Ain't Easy.

"A people divided by politics and deeply rooted grudges. The rule of law and the Constitution, now relics of days gone by. The nation's capital overrun by groaning mouth-breathers. Aren't we watching The Walking Dead to get away from real life? The promos for season nine have made two things clear: Rick Grimes is saying goodbye one way or another, and the series is headed in a very different direction. The ninth season premiere proved the latter to be true in nearly every sense, right down to the opening sequence. Let's be honest: TWD desperately needed a Daryl-horse-slap-in-the-ass to find fresh energy (especially for anyone watching Fear The Walking Dead, which just wrapped up a season that was better than TWD has been in a long time). But is this better, or just different?

The curtain rises a year and a half after Rick, in honor of his deceased one-eyed pacifist son, spared Negan's life and pledged to rebuild civilization. Goodbye, life on the road; the gang in officially all in on Virginia. Cue the Alexandria Safe Zone, which has a spiffy new sign (how lucky is the person who landed "graphic designer" as a job?), a robust garden, and solar power. Daryl is running a motorcycle shop at the Sanctuary while Eugene makes corn fuel. Maggie won an election, beating that sleazebag Gregory for the unenviable honor of leading Hilltop. Carol and Zeke are shacking up at the Kingdom. Roads are now oddly alphabetized (was a confusing interstate highway system really such a problem?). The four outposts are thriving (sort of) and living with an uneasy peace. Judith has also become even more impossibly cute, particularly for a child growing up in a world filled with flesh-eating monsters. How is she so happy? And is it weird that I want Michonne to carry me through a field and point at the squawking birdies as they fly away?…."

Maggie was right hanging Gregory and should have hanged Negan.

Carl a pacifist? Gone a long way from de comics…
