I gave the show the benefit of the doubt, and you totally fooled me by pulling the same kind of trickery and shenanigans that have frustrated so many viewers over recent seasons.

Our reaction to the just-announced movie trilogy follows at the end of the post. Warning: Major spoilers for The Walking Dead season 9, episode 5 below.
To unpack exactly what happened last night, we sat down to discuss “What Comes After,” the episode’s biggest surprises, and what it all means for the future of The Walking Dead.
But that doesn’t mean it was satisfying or that it sent the show off in the right direction. It was, without a doubt, a masterfully executed surprise. Last night’s episode, “What Comes After,” not only undid that invigorating switcheroo, but it subverted the entire matter of Rick Grimes’ expected departure, moving things in an entirely new direction. The episode’s ending seemed in line with Kang’s vision for a reimagined Walking Dead. It was quick, clean, and surprising - a stark contrast to the show’s tradition of milking key dramatic moments to the point of audience fatigue. And then it looked as if new showrunner Angela Kang had opted to kill Rick off even before the announced date. Press releases had announced that series star Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) would depart the series well ahead of the expected midseason finale send-off. Last week on The Walking Dead, it appeared that the show had taken a step in a bold new direction. Read my new sci-fi thriller novel Herokiller, available now in print and online. I am a TWD hater when I need to be, but trust me, it’s extremely good, and a redemptive moment for the series.įollow me on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. And this isn’t even considering all the crazy comic news about its abrupt finale. Wild times for The Walking Dead, nearly a decade later. And this third, teen-centric spin-off arrives spring 2020. The second half of Fear returns in just over a week after a short while off the air, needing to finish up before TWD arrives. I can’t really say the same recommending you catch up on season 5 of Fear the Walking Dead, as I don’t think it’s free and it’s also…not very good. I think you have a month to watch them for free before they go back behind an AMC Premiere wall or whatever it might be. I highly suggest you take advantage of this free offer to watch all of season 9 before season 10 arrives in October.
