Omega

An amazing episode, they really focused a lot on domestic abuse with lydia suffering from it, Daryl of course and also the mention of carol with ed. I did like how they went from flash back to present day and back and forth. Then that ending was so cool just seeing the whisperers walking up to the gates of hilltop. What made is so cool is even though you know they are people seeing those "walkers" walking up to the gate with purpose and not mindlessly wandering around was so eerie. Damn this season is so good and hell Beta has not even arrived yet!

In Hilltop, Henry has a long conversation with the Whisperer Lydia about her life, unaware that Daryl, Enid and other leaders of Hilltop are listening to. They learn that Lydia-s mother is a cruel woman and leader of the Whisperers. Meanwhile, the newcomers Yumiko, Magna, Connie and Kelly join Tara in the unsuccessful search party for Alden and Luke. During the night, they disobey Tara and sneak out from Hilltop to search Luke and Aiden. When they return to Hilltop, they are followed by Alpha and her group.

"Omega" is a great sequel of "Adaptation" introducing Alpha, the leader of the dangerous Whisperers. The stupid Henry again jeopardizes his friends exposing not only Hilltop, but also The Kingdom to a dangerous stranger that is a member of a group that killed Jesus. The group of newcomers also does not follow Tara´s direct order and also jeopardize Hilltop. Maggie needs to return to Hilltop and to the show to control these irresponsible people. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Omega"

Really well acted tonight between Daryl and Lydia an interesting relationship with Daryl seeing himself in Lydia. The flash backs were used really effectively dropping through-out the episode making the whisperes feel more humanised. Really liking the slow and intense build up to the whisperes!

This episode was one of the best filler episodes thanks to the wonderful writing and acting, making the jail scenes work perfectly as Norman Reedus and Cassady McClincy had chemistry and just seeing Cassady portray Lydia in such a believable and true form as the character is truly broken, won't spoil anything more than she does an incredible performance. Letting the camera and story focus more with Magna's group is nice to see as more screen time means more development and that's a good thing for new viewers that haven't read the graphic novels. The focus on telling Lydia and Alpha's backstory was a good idea, I can't wait to see what Angela Kang and the film crew bring next to the remaining 6 episodes.

Samantha Morton was the highlight, seeing her act was interesting, strong acting. She doesn't really have the same body type as Alpha in the graphic novel but it looks natural and with her as woman makes Alpha even more terrifying. I'm glad she got the role, only good things can come from her as Alpha.

Bababooe, what are you even doing here? You make it very clear that you give this show not one chance at all. Your reviews say that you hate this show for seasons already. Why are you still here then? Season 9 has been a very good season so far and every episode deserves at least 8/10. But people like you keep voting 1/10 for no reason, just because. When you look at the votes you can see that at least 300 people give 1 star and that can't be more obvious. Imdb is no longer a representative platform for me, because of you fakers and haters.

Over and out.
