Trail Ends Here
If there's one thing I have gathered from the past few episodes, it's that Cailey Fleming is a total bada** in this show. It is so flipping hard for movies and television shows to find serviceable young actors that aren't annoying, but Fleming seems to be the perfect fit for the young Judith Grimes, who is essentially the new lead of the show.
Dealing with the aftermath of last episode's shocker, 'Adaptation' was a slow building, but very solid episode that saw Negan travel beyond the walls of Alexandria only to find nothing, Hilltop grieving over the loss of Jesus and dealing with a Whisperer held captive named Lydia, and the introduction of Alpha. I'm not sure how long it can possibly be this way before it wears off, but this show is genuinely creepy right now. When the walkers stopped walking and surrounded Alden and Luke, it was legitimately disturbing. I guess if you're going to introduce a new villain, that was the way to do it.
In all, this was a nice way to open up the second half of Season 9, which has been the most surprising season thus far. I'm all in this year.
8.0/10
