The Walking Dead 9.9 FAQ
What’s it called?
“Adaptation.”
Who’s responsible?
Teleplay is credited to Corey Reed.
What says AMC?
“The recent loss of one of their own drives the communities to band together. New leaders rise when a disturbing and dangerous threat is unmasked. An escaped captive revisits his past.”
Is it any good?
Yes.
How does it start?
“Die now,” whispers a whisperer as Jesus’ warm but lifeless body lies in the mud.
Isn’t pretending to be a zombie an excellent way to get stabbed in the brain?
One would think, but a shocking number of living people appear to think limping around in the cold covered in zombie blood is the right lifestyle for them.
Is Jesus resurrected this week?
No.
What happens following the spiffy new opening credits?
Negan makes a surprisingly leisurely exit from his cellar home of many years.
Has any time elapsed since Negan’s dramatic escape?
No.
Are there any flackbacks or flashforwards?
Next week.
Lauren Cohan is the star of ABC’s CIA hourlong “Whiskey Cavalier,” premiering next week. Is Maggie Greene still part of this show?
She’s still alive somewhere. Keep an eye on those “Whiskey Cavalier” ratings.
Did Morgan Jones ever make it back to Virginia?
Lennie James does not appear in this episode.
The big news?
I think Negan gets most the most screentime this week.
What else is AMC not telling us?
No Carol or Ezekiel or that Preacher guy this week.
What’s good?
Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Negan.
What’s not so good?
Next week’s episode does not show what happens to Negan next.
How does it end, spoiler boy?
“Trail ends here.”
