The Walking Dead

After years of circling the drain, The Walking Dead is very much watchable again. 

Who would have guessed it? Not us. 

Sunday's episode of The Walking Dead played out in two strands:

We had Daryl, Connie, Henry, and Lydia fighting The Whisperers in one, and The Kingdom meeting a new threat in the other. 

Who knew that starting a love story in a post-apocalyptic world with people from two very different factions would result in The Walking Dead being better than ever?

Sunday's episode picked up with Alpha grilling her daughter, Lydia for information about the Hilltop, but the teenager did not want to give up too much. 

Alpha and her people showed up at The Hilltop with an army on Sunday's episode of The Walking Dead. 

“Your people crossed into our lands,” the new villain said, adding that “there will be no conflict. Your people killed our people. There will be no conflict.”

Sunday's episode of The Walking Dead was all about filling in the blanks. 

With Lydia in captivity, all everyone wanted to know was how she became a Whisperer. 

The Walking Dead returned to the air Sunday night, and it was an hour that was filled with twists and a whole lot of zombie goodness. 

A lot was left up in the air after the shock death of Jesus at the hands of The Whisperers, but one of the more pressing questions surrounded what became of Negan. 

The Whisperers made their mark on the survivors during Sunday's fall finale of The Walking Dead which culminated with the death of another beloved character. 

At the top of the hour, Daryl, Jesus, and Aaron were on a mission to find Eugene who was apparently still holed up in a barn, but they noticed a group of walkers just standing as though they were talking. 

Sunday's episode of The Walking Dead continued to fill in the blanks about what happened during the time jump. 

We started things off with Carol and Henry finding Daryl in the woods living rough. 

Sunday's episode of The Walking Dead was all about introducing us to the new world we were thrust into after that long time jump, and that meant we got to meet a lot of new characters. 

Even after all those years passed, Michonne was still struggling to get over the supposed death of Rick and reiterated that at the top of the episode. 

The Walking Dead said goodbye to an original star on Sunday night. 

And no, we're not talking about one of the recurring players here. We're talking about the character who kickstarted the franchise on the series premiere, Rick Grimes!

Ever since the brutal murder of Glen on The Walking Dead Season 7 Episode 1, the love of his life, Maggie has been desperately trying to find a way to avenge his death. 

Sunday's episode of the AMC hit found Maggie arming herself to murder Negan, the former leader of the Saviors who carried out the deed. 

The final path for Rick and Maggie is starting to take shape. 

As previously reported, both Andrew Lincoln and Lauren Cohan are departing The Walking Dead during the first half of the current season.
