Bounty

I can really empathise with the screen writers on how much writing they had to do when the cast got 'so' big... really building an in depth, psychological story to the viewers.

This is a perfect adaptation of the comic villain Alpha-her presence, with no action whatsoever commands attention. She'd totally take Negan's bat. (I love this actor)

Samantha Morton is portraying Alpha in such a accurate way from the graphic novel. We get to see The Whisperers in action and they are truly terrifying and animals, I can't wait to see more of them. The character development from last episode is shown here, Daryl seeing himself like a possible father figure to Lydia, I hope it will go down that road. I've said it before but I really like Magna's group, they are so likeable, even more than in the graphic novel. They grew on me there but on the show they are just so well cast, really giving us great character development from them and now Connie is getting more screen time it will help with her development as a character.

I've missed seeing The Kingdom, Ezekiel and the group. I have wanted a cinema zombie sequence for couple of seasons and it was executed perfectly, I understand them completely why they want a new bulb to watch movies, makes perfect sense. They finally did a great choice of music in that sequence, flowed together well with the characters and editing. Meera Menon did a great job at directing the episode, she's new to the show but she didn't disappoint.

This season has been such a fresh and great season so far. This episode made me love Daryl again and I fell in love with Connie, still not liking Henry taking Carl's storyline but we will see how that goes in the future. The ratings may be down but I for sure am loving Season 9 and it's the show I fell in love with. Thank you Angela Kang!

Wow ... just wow ... What a good episode, Samantha Morton is totally amazing, I really enjoyed the development of Alpha, in the same way for Carol and Ezekiel. God... The baby scene surprised me a lot.
