I just go caught up on Season 9

.

I did not think I would like it.

I still miss the energy of the Georgia group.
But there are new characters I really like, and the Whisperers are really good bad guys.

.

I just finished the episode where about 8 people were killed and beheaded by the Whisperers.

I liked Enid
.
And I don't think Rick is dead either.

Following the broadcast of Lincoln's last episode, AMC announced their plans to create three AMC Original Films to explore events related to Rick's character in the future, starring Lincoln, and with the first expected to begin production in 2019. Besides Lincoln, Pollyanna McIntosh (Jadis / Anne) will also star in these films.

time to catch up on some watching!

Yes, it is actually really good, I actually like the Negan character right now. I'm not usually a fan of kids in shows like this, but Judith is really quirkily interesting.

Ok wow a book just came out situated in Asia:China

Check out the beautiful cover below, featuring art by Jasper Shaw and design by Andres Juarez. You can PRE-ORDER “The Walking ...on” here, where you can also get excerpts from the first chapter and learn more about the incredibly talented Wesley Chu!

I think Season 9 was very good.Lots of surprises and some interesting new characters.It was hard to lose Rick,though.I'm glad they didn't kill him off,though.

Looking forward to season 10 which begins this Sunday night.There's a rumor that Maggie (one of my favorite characters) will be returning later in the season.I expect Daryl and Carol to have much bigger roles this season,especially now that Michonne is leaving.They are the last two characters who were on the show since the very beginning.

IT WAS SAD

Yeah, especially the people like Tara who came on during the 2nd run of the Governor. The people who were killed were pretty cool.

Sunday's season premiere episode leaked online last weekend. It's out there for those that know how to find it.

The rumors were right.Maggie will return next season

The Walking Dead Q&A: Lauren Cohan (Maggie) on Returning to TWD

Today at New York Comic-Con The Walking Dead Executive Producer and Showrunner Angela Kang announced the news that Lauren Cohan (Maggie) will return to The Walking Dead for Season 11. In an interview, she discusses her return back "home" to the show and the time jump since she's been gone.

.

Q: The secret is out! How excited are you to come back to The Walking Dead?

A: I'm so excited to surprise the fans. I know we left Maggie Rhee up in the air and I can't wait to bring this to them. I've always been a big fan of surprises. My family lives between England and America, so my whole life is about how to make an elaborate plan and not spoil it. [Laughs] I'm really happy. Angela [Kang], Scott [M. Gimple] and I have been talking about how we could make this work and everything just aligned. I'm super excited to see what this next chapter of Maggie will be.

.

Q: What was it like being away from the show for a while?

A: The weird thing is that it never really leaves you. I don't feel like I left. I do stay in touch with everybody on a regular basis. My friends on the show know that this has been in the works. This reentry is going to feel like going home. I get to go out to Atlanta and spend some time on set shadowing one of our directors, Daisy Mayer, this month. Maybe that will be my soft reentry into the universe – or the Georgia weather – but in general, the character never leaves you. It's a necessity for me to keep her alive.

.

Q: There's been a long time jump on the show since you left. How does that impact Maggie and the way you'll portray her now?

A: There are definitely things she will have picked up on the road and there's also the relationship with her son and how growing with him has affected her. Or even what has been happening, I'm in a liberated position to actually not know enough to give spoilers at this point! It's a nice surprise to come back to these changes, understand what motivates her return, what happened while she was out there and who's still going to be here when she returns. We have a lot to unpack.

.

Q: Any thoughts on if Maggie might have unfinished business with Negan?

A: Just like in life, it might be one of those things she doesn't know until she faces it. She definitely decided not to kill him on that day when Michonne discouraged her. She did go that way. Forgiveness is liberating. I suppose we'll get to see to what degree she has decided to liberate herself.

.

Q: In addition to Hershel, there are so many other children who are part of the story. Any thoughts on what the children represent in terms of the future and moving beyond a survival mindset and into one of living?

A: It's a really interesting question. In relation to The Walking Dead universe, we have a landscape where children are now living without any point of comparison to their "post-apocalyptic" world – and seeing how that can be a positive in its own way. Life (as we know it) can be riddled with anxiety and endless comparing and choice-making, I think the show has always done a good job of reminding us what's really important... being there for each other.

.

Q: We're now in Season 10. Your first episode aired almost nine years ago. What does it mean to you that the show has endured as it has?

A: It's such an honor to be a part of it and to see it sustain as it has. It's a testament to the creators and the writers and to our fans. Things wax and wane all of the time, but it takes a lot for something to keep being made – especially now when we have so many choices. The Walking Dead has this unnamable comfort, which is ironic for a show about scary zombies.

.

Q: What are you most excited for fans to see?

A: I hope they feel the same way I do coming back, like reuniting with an old friend.

YES!! and I'm so glad. I wish Beth was still alive.

But with the group being decimated, having lost Tara and 5 others, having her back on will be an energy rush.

last night's premiere episode was very good.It was kinda slow at first,but got more interesting as it progressed.I can tell that this is gonna be a great season.

I'm hoping that,with Maggie's returm,they can also convince Rick Grimes to come back.Yeah I know there are plans for a couple of movies,but I would rather see Rick back on TWD.The actor recently said that he is very impressed with the show right now...."maybe I left at the wrong time",he said.

aahhhh that is interesting

Maybe the story arch bored him.

I think if the Georgia crew was still intact, he might have still be there

Hopefully,they will move on from the Whisperers storyline soon.I'm getting tired of always seeeing them "go to war" with another group.Sunday's episode was focused entirely on the Whisperers and I think it was really boring.

Yeah that's why I kinda loss intrest and stop watching the last 2 years. Yeah I get it, man is still the most dangerous thing on the planet

I'd like to see more storylines that focus on THEM as a community and not on them battling some rival group.Remember the storyline (from season 3 or 4) about that big illness that nearly killed some of them? Or Carol having to deal with that young girl that she had to eventually kill? Going back even further,remember the Rick/Lori/Shane love triangle? These were all great storylines where they were dealing with issues among themselves,and not some evil bad guy from a rival group.I'd like for the show to get back to those type of storylines.

but otherewise,the show is very good right now.Last night's episode was great.Looks like Carol is hooked on some kind of pills

I agree. I love the 'backstories' the 'exploration scenes and stories'
.
The times when they were in their 'edens' like the hill over the pool when Rick is reunited with his family, when the get to the CDC(which I wish had a longer experience), when the stayed at Hershels farm. I loved the individual stories after they were seperated from the prison war.
.
I did enjoy the Terminus episode. I wish they gave a few stories on those people outside of Ricks group. Beth at the police hospital was good. I just wish she made it out alive.

.

The Governor episodes were good. The first encounter wasn't a war in the same way as the 2nd. But I enjoyed the experience much better than the Negan experience. Coming up to them finally encountering Negan was thrilling. Danger was in the air. But once he and Lucile came along it was dragged out, long and caused me to loose some interest.
.
I did like side stories like the 1/2 where Morgan finally got his mind back.
.
I wish they would have done more of the things we talk about than rush to kill off people.
I know some of them are the result of bigger show offerse. Like Sonequa/Sasha getting the Star Trek spot. And many others who received some superhero roles or 'Jesus' getting the Investigator series character.
