Putlocker the walking dead season 9
I'm not sure if Rosita even said a thing. Tara just has this awkward look on her face as though this was just some random stranger about to die.
I did think it was a little weird how some of the characters down in the sewer didn't even bother to say goodbye to Carl. It's as if the writers have a breaker box and can just flip switches to make characters change however they want without any of the requisite revelations or catharsis or trauma. All these things are fine, but they're rarely ever earned. Suddenly Carol (Melissa McBride) is suffering from PTSD. Suddenly Jesus (Tom Payne) is arguing to not kill the Saviors they've captured. Suddenly Morgan (Lennie James) goes back to his violence.

I just don't like how they went from point A to point B (or point M, as the case may be, so many character development steps were skipped over.) The same problem occurs over and over again in this TV show. I like how zen and at peace he is as he slips toward his own death.
It wasn't that long ago that Carl tried to sneak into the Sanctuary to assassinate Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan.) I'm trying to draw a line from that rash, hot-headed young man to this calm, peaceful one talking about how the only thing that really matters is love.Ī father's job is to protect his children, Rick tells him, weeping. The problem, of course, is that the writers never earned this conclusion to young Carl's life. You see it when he stares up at the sun and feels the warmth of it for the last time, or as he pens a stack of letters to his closest companions. At least Carl got to say goodbye to his loved ones, to tell his dad and Michonne he loved them.Ĭarl, in his last day on earth, was remarkably zen. At the same time, at least this wasn't just a random bat to the skull, and Glenn's (Steven Yeun) eyes bulging, after months of waiting to see who would die. I hate it how The Walking Dead only builds up relationships or character development right before someone is about to die. I do think we see some last-ditch character development at work, especially with Carl and Judith's scenes, but those were still great scenes and my only wish is that we'd seen more of this sibling time earlier on. I can't imagine the dread and sorrow and horror of that.Īs far as character deaths go, I think the show pulled this one off with just about as much respect and class as any Walking Dead death. When you hear the gunshot and see Rick and Michonne flinch. It was that moment, perhaps more than any other, that really got me. How could he let Rick (Andrew Lincoln) or Michonne (Danai Gurira) do it? I thought that perhaps Siddiq (Avi Nash) would offer his services since he owes Carl for his life, but a suicide-with Rick and Michonne just outside waiting for it-works better. It didn't occur to me that Carl would volunteer himself for the grim task, though it makes perfect sense in retrospect. Throughout much of the episode, I wondered who would be the one to kill Carl (Chandler Riggs) once he turned. 'Honor' actually got a few things right, even if I'm still bothered by the fact that this emotional send-off still seems totally unnecessary. He decides to leave Henry, who’s been vocally protesting Daryl’s interrogation, in his cell to unknowingly coax the truth out of Lydia while he listens by the window.Sunday night's episode of The Walking Dead did something that no episode has done in this show in a very, very long time: It made me feel.Īdmittedly, I have mixed emotions, but at least I didn't walk away from the midseason premiere just shaking my head at how miserable it all was.
Daryl tries playing bad cop again later, newly refueled by the sight of Jesus’ burial, but goes for a different tactic when he gets the same results. The girl just keeps feeding them lies masked by her apparent hysterics. They all want answers out of their new prisoner, but her tears and wails serve as the best poker face. With Jesus now dead, more change arrives when Tara becomes the leader of Hilltop. As the teen is still locked in a cell, Michonne and Daryl throw Lydia in jail for interrogation. In the comics, Lydia becomes a love interest for Carl, but now she’s getting paired with Henry. That would be Lydia, the daughter of The Whisperers’ leader Alpha. On their way back to Hilltop, they lay waste to a small group of Whisperers and take one of them hostage. Henry picks up more slack for Carl as Michonne and Daryl finally unmask their attackers.
