 32: Walking Dead: Season 9 , Episode 9 Adaptation | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 4080

Our Review.. Walking Dead S9 Episode 9, Adaptation  When we last saw our not-so-merry band of heroes a few months back, things were looking rather grim on all fronts. Back in A-town, an emotionally unstable Negan escaped captivity by simply strolling through the unlocked door of his jail cell. The situation was even worse out in the wild, as Michonne and Daryl’s group found themselves in a graveyard with some folks known as the Whisperers — a knife-wielding gang of sick sonsabitches who ride with zombie herds and blend in by wearing masks of rotted flesh. Sweet finishing moves weren’t enough to save poor Jesus, who looked rather deceased after being stabbed in the back. Turns out that Jesus is definitely dead, the Whisperers are real bad news, and Negan’s gone softer than Eugene’s love handles. Let’s begin with Judith Grimes, who I’m guessing is now a polarizing character, what with her precocious dialogue, her shocking lack of adult supervision, and her ability to hold and fire a gun with enough recoil to knock any kid the ground. Me? I’m on Team Judith, and thought her exchanges with Negan were among the highlights of the episode: From her opening line as Negan climbs the fence (“Thought you were smarter than this. Guess not.”), to her quick dismissal of his attempt to make a deal (“How ‘bout no,” she says with a wag of her pistol), it was fun watching Judith’s sass genuinely warm Negan’s dark heart. Her compassion and snappy banter are more than he deserves, with that sob story about how everything’s changed so much while he’s been stuck staring at the same four walls. Boo hoo, dude — you’re a murderer. Judith’s endorsement might be his only chance to change hearts and minds. Sheriff Judy lets Negan go, but sagely warns him that there ain’t nothin’ outside those walls, and through a series of scenes, the former Big Bad learns she was right. A brief tangle with an extra-crispy walker ends with his meager supplies ruined. A drink from a nearby stream ends in a barf sesh. Even when Negan scores a minor win (a leather jacket from the menswear store with the subtle slogan, “Be the Man You Were Meant to Be!”), he loses (attacked by dogs and a zombie, offends PETA by locking said zombie inside to feed on said dogs). Even a return to the Sanctuary is one long, depressing, sad trombone moment, as Negan whistles into the emptiness and witnesses what’s left of his legacy: trash, rats, and a few old pals who are roamin’ and moanin’. Which direction should Negan head toward now: back to his old ways, or ahead to a new life? Good thing Judith let him keep her compass (so subtle, TWD). In other “stuff I endorse” news, Luke is growing on me. He’s awkwardly endearing, and although he’s one lousy zombie killer, Luke is totes on board for a bomb musical collab at Zeke’s faire with Alden on vocals. Could Alden be the post-apocalyptic Adam Levine? Doubt he has the ink or the abs for the job, but hey, maybe his falsetto ain’t half bad after a couple of drinks. His thing with Enid seemed a little creepy at first, but she’s now in her 20s and a doctor and can’t spend the rest of her (very possibly short) life mourning Carl. Speaking of couples — who saw the Siddiq/Rosita hook-up coming? (Stop it, none of you did.) That makes way more sense than her thing with Gabe; it also breaks Eugene’s heart, knowing he’s at least third in line for her affection, now that Rosita has a bf and a baby daddy. Then there’s the stuff I don’t like, which is, in a word, youths (with the exception, for now, of Judith). Kids are such rich storytelling devices, because their exuberance, hormones, angst, and underdeveloped prefrontal cortexes give writers an excuse to make them do the dumbest things. Take Henry, whom I was really beginning to like until this episode. Before we get to his soul-searching, it’s probably worth mentioning that Michonne’s crew escaped the graveyard in dramatic fashion and Daryl found a clever way to sort out the Whisperers from the “original recipe” zombies — if you shoot one in the leg with a crossbow and they howl in pain, they’re human. Daryl and Michonne capture one of them alive and bring her back to Hilltop for an interrogation, which initially reveals nothing. (They also share a brief, touching moment, apologizing to each other for not finding Rick. Seems Daryl’s bond with his brother from another mother is now just as strong with Michonne.) With Jesus gone and Tara now leading Hilltop — never saw her as a leader, but here we are — Daryl is tasked with being Tara’s consigliere. His first move is to give that Whisperer lady the business and, as Michonne suggests, to get answers by any means necessary. Daryl’s bad-cop routine works to some extent, but aside from learning her mom is also a Whisperer, most of what she says sounds like fake news. (Only ten in her group? Really?) Leave it to Henry to whine about Daryl’s rough treatment and plead that she’s “just a girl” — one who says that murder is “just what people do now.” Well, Hank, your bid has been extended indefinitely, as Daryl delivers a great line: “You want to know where your place is here? It’s right where you’re at for as long as it takes for you to wise your ass up.” For his trouble, Henry learns the girl’s name is Lydia. This odd friendship is one to keep an eye on, which is exactly what Daryl will do. Points to Daryl for that verbal beatdown, but the best exchange of the night arrives courtesy of Judith and Negan, after she takes out his hog and sends him skidding across the asphalt. “I told you there was nothing out there,” she says. “You sure as shit did,” says Negan. “Language. I’m a kid, asshole.” Should be quite a scene when Judith and Negan arrive at the gates of A-town, assuming they can get there without incident. No such luck for Luke and Alden, who’ve stumbled into a trap set by what’s either the still-living members of Slipknot or a large posse of Whisperers, led by a shotgun-slingin’ woman who’s got to be Lydia’s mom. Not sure I’m ready for Negan’s transformation into one of the good guys yet, but the thought of him teaming up with Judith and taking out these skin-mask freaks is a good first step on his road to redemption.

 23: Mental Health + Walking Dead,Season 9, Episode 8 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 5360

We start with Mental Health and discuss how our week has been with it being that time of year, and how staying active ie exercising, creativity etc.. if you struggle with the weather or lack of vitamin d there is vitamin d tablets or SAD lamp. Evolution, Episode Eight, Walking Dead However you feel about the first half of this season, you have to credit The Walking Dead for taking some gutsy chances right out of the gate: not one, but two major time jumps; Rick’s goodbye with a twist; Maggie’s disappearance with absolutely zero hooplas; Carol and Eugene’s bold hairstyle choices; and now, the death of yet another main character as Jesus bites the dust. His demise is so shocking that it’s almost easy to overlook that there are now homicidal people living with zombies and wearing dead skin masks. Also, Negan is loose at A-town, which is a huge whopping deal. But did I mention the murderous wackjobs who are stealing a page from Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs? Let’s begin with the fact that Hilltop is lousy with youths gone wild, as Henry learns quickly upon his arrival. Given the fact he killed a few people as a kid, you’d think his chances of being a total basket case are rather high. But Henry is likable and only mildly annoying, which is saying something—especially after meeting the trio of teens who befriend him. First, there’s Gage, who remembers Henry as the “kid with the stick” from “the war,” which means Henry has a shot at appearing in the eventual Ken Burns documentary on the zombie apocalypse. Behind Addy’s glasses and friendly demeanor lurks a come-hither flirtatiousness and lust for booze. Then there’s Rodney, the horndog who’s ready to take up fishing just so he can live out his soft-porn dream of being the only male at Oceanside. (At least we know Oceanside still exists.) To be fair, kids will be kids, and can you imagine the smartphone withdrawal they’re suffering from? Not sure how they figured out a way to sneak off from a fortified compound or keep their clubhouse a secret, but teens drinking in the woods is a true sign of life returning to normal. What’s not normal is the walker they’ve turned into a carnival game; it fell into a pit and now the kids take turns trying to toss ropes around its neck for kicks (nice touch with the dart sticking out of its skull). Henry unwisely jumps into the hole, killing the zombie and everyone’s buzz. The cost of their hijinks: Tara’s boots and almost Henry’s internship with Maggie’s attempted-murderer-turned-town-smithy. To the kid’s credit, he adopts a “no snitching” policy and doesn’t rat out his friends. Look, we know seeing your mom cry and leaving home has you stressed out, Henry, but we also know this is all Enid’s fault for making out with Alden. Meanwhile, at A-town, Negan’s adjusting well to his life sentence. His jail cell has a window, he’s got a ball and a baseball glove, and Gabe began visiting him once a week back when that idea wasn’t so popular. Gone are the shadows and the unkempt beard and the headbanging, yet the constant ballbusting and mind-screwing remain, with Gabe on the receiving end: I hear your girl talkin’ and it ain’t necessarily about you. And I love it when you empty my bedpan and my ass particles go straight up your nose. Still, a class act, that Negan. Yet something funny happens when the priest admits he’s the reason Rosita was hurt: Negan looks genuinely concerned. Making matters worse, Gabe can’t go help her because he’s on Negan-sitting duty. Was Gabe so distraught and distracted that he simply didn’t notice that the cell door wasn’t fully locked? Free-range Negan is not a good thing. On the one hand, he has come a long way since he wept for Lucille six years ago. But the shit-eating grin on his face as he exits his cage suggests he’s not quite ready to play nice. Even more troubling is the situation with the herd that’s stalking Eugene and his search party—or is it multiple herds? Now we know what Daryl’s been doing for all these years after Rick vanished; he’s been collecting an arsenal of zombie lures, including fireworks and a clown-face alarm clock. Dog proves to be an expert tracker, though I question whether a barking animal is an ideal hunting companion when walkers are drawn to sound and living things. (Also pretty sure the current ranking for “deaths that would result in mass revolt from Walking Dead fans” is, in order: Daryl, baby RJ, Dog, Judith, and everyone else tied for a distant fifth place.) As if talking zombies weren’t troubling enough, Rosita’s freak-out when she wakes up and the resulting look of shock on Michonne’s face (with slow close-up and dramatic music!) confirms that everyone should be afraid of what’s out there. Once the search party locates Eugene, they decide the best course of action is to split up. When does that ever work? Much to Daryl’s horror, the herd ignores his Fourth of July display. These ain’t yer grandpa’s undead, folks. But could Eugene be right, as the episode’s title suggests—are the zombie brains flickering with new life? Short answer: No, silly, of course not. As Aaron, Jesus and Eugene flee from the herd, their first mistake is running into a cemetery. Their next bad move is making a stand, as J&A go full action hero; credit Jesus for the kill of the night when, after Aaron shoves one toward his pal for some reason, Jesus slices its leg and drives his heel down onto its head, which explodes against a gravestone in SLOW MOTION. Then Michonne arrives—along with Magna and Yumiko, who are earning their keep through life-threatening combat—and Jesus treats us all to even sweeter slo-mo carnage. His star turn, along with all the talk of Jesus as a leader, should have been a clue that tragedy was around the corner. Aaron wisely tells him to get the hell out of the graveyard, but hey, there’s only two walkers left, right? The first goes down easily, but the second zombie ducks his sword, spins behind him and stabs Jesus in the back. “You are where you do not belong!” whispers the Whisperer, as a bunch of other Whisperfolk come sprinting in with knives in hand. Daryl arrives to help finish them off and discovers the awful, seemingly impossible truth—these are not zombies who’ve learned to talk. This is some crazy Edward Gein shit. That revelation begs a million questions about how it’s possible to wear a zombie's face and live among the undead without ending up on the menu (and without puking from the stench of #datzombielyfe). I’m guessing the Whisperers are like ranchers, but instead of herding cattle, they’re walker wranglers who move them along and then duck away to do stuff like breathe and walk normally and speak at normal volumes and sleep and eat meals that don’t involve entrails. (I’m also convinced that the story of the entire season is hidden in the opening sequence. Note the ominous sound and sight of the windmill turning just before Negan escapes. And the noose—presumably the one that Gregory swung from? And the helicopter and that lone zombie…and Lucille. What clues for the second half of the season are hidden in there?) As the camera floats up and the fog swirls through the cemetery, we hear more whispering: “They’re trapped” and “Keep them together.” Between this new threat and an old one, it’s a solid cliffhanger that raises the stakes for the final eight episodes—and should make Zeke’s fair a lot more interesting. We will be back with the walking dead in February 2019 In its place in the coming weeks will be The Rothschild Conspiracy, final parts 4,5,6, Politics ( our reasons as to why we think what we think)  Also our final mental health Facebook Live and podcast for this year will either be on the 18th or 21st of december.

 21: Walking Dead S9: Episode 7, Stradivarius | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 4455

Stradivarius episode 7, Walking Dead From beginning to end, this was a weird episode. The intro was short and frenetic; the final moments, unusually quiet and anticlimactic. Yes, we spent some quality time at Camp Dixon, finally visited Hilltop, and met Bernie, beloved friend of the Randos turned flesh-eating fashion nightmare. But the story barely moved an inch, and we’re still completely in the dark regarding the talking dead that stalked Rosita (and are doing who-knows-what with Eugene). In short — mostly ho-hum filler in advance of the mid-season finale. But let’s start with Rosita, who’s delirious after escaping the mumble walkers and leaving gimpy Eugene alone in a barn. (Sounds very safe and secure, I’m sure he’s just fine.) What’s far more interesting than Rosita’s situation is the way she’s discovered — by Jesus and Aaron after they finish pummeling the shit out of each other, or as they call it, “training.” Relations between Hilltop and A-town aren’t just icy, they’re borderline hostile; J and A need to sneak away just to meet up in the woods, wrestle, and serve some tea about life at their outposts. This fair that Zeke is planning is apparently a big freaking deal, and Jesus confirms that Michonne doesn’t want to participate. What happened after Rick’s death that polarized the two communities so deeply? One person we can’t ask is Maggie, because she took lil’ Hershel and peaced out to hang with Georgie. Where are they, exactly? Who are they people they’re working with? To whom did Siddiq promise that he wouldn’t tell Michonne about Maggie’s departure? No clue. What we do know is that Hilltop is thriving: cue the song “April Skies” by Jesus and Mary Chain (with on-the-nose lyrics like “the world comes tumbling down” and “life is dead”) as we zoom in on a pottery wheel, a dude on an exercise bike generating electricity or ethanol or something, Enid as a full-on medical professional, Tara as a boss with paperwork and stuff, and a big-ass farm. Jesus also won an uncontested election as Hilltop’s leader and he is super pumped about it. No wonder he’d rather fight zombies than stay home when you hear Tara’s laundry list of issues requiring his attention: the wife of Maggie’s attacker wants to expand the crop field; Enid wants more room for “medicinal herbs” (let’s be real — you know Jesus has a pot crop somewhere); Alden wants to send a team out for scrap metal; and there’s a noise complaint from trailer seven because Tara gave a kid a kazoo. That last one should be grounds for banishment. One surefire kazoo fan is Luke, who’s been collecting musical instruments since he was at least as far north as Philly. The Randos don’t do much aside from continue their debate about whether to play by Michonne’s rules or split, mutter conspiratorially, and then remember they can use sign language so no one knows they’re muttering conspiratorially. They also keep talking about Bernie, and aside from his paisley shirt, it’s unclear why they’re so obsessed with this guy. Though I’ll give Bernie this — he does know how to make an entrance, even in undeath. There’s not much zombie chaos in this episode, but Yumiko scores the slay of day with a single arrow that takes out a gang of groaners. Perhaps to repay them for her ’tude, Michonne delivers a most humane mercy killing when Bernie comes a-chompin’. Our favorite swordswoman also doesn’t make much of an impact, save for waffling on her feelings about the Randos and, in a total overreaction, slicing Luke’s rare violin in half. (Though in Michonne’s defense, why was he so weird about not simply telling her he was holding a stringed instrument, not a grenade?) Worse than the destruction of a rare historical artifact is Luke’s speech about how art is the reason humans outlasted neanderthals and why they’ll need a Gibson Flying V to rebuild humanity or something like that. To be fair, his point is a good one — mankind’s culture needs to be preserved so there’s something to enjoy once survival isn’t the most important task of any given day. Far more entertaining is Camp Dixon, where Daryl is living a life of solitude. How down in the dumps is he? His chopper is under a tarp. But lest you feel too bad, Daryl’s got a pooch who likes to gnaw on body parts like a good boy — and his name, hilariously, is Dog. Perhaps Daryl is so afraid of intimacy, so scarred by loss, that he can’t even give his furry buddy a proper name (like Harley or Jack Daniels or Dirtball). Speaking of scars, we see he’s got the same x-shaped mark on his back that Michonne is sporting, along with a bunch more, including a lengthy one on his face. It’s another mystery that goes unsolved, but we do learn that Daryl initially came out here looking for Rick and never returned. We also learn Carol didn’t come here for a booty call or snakemeat recipes — she wants Daryl to relocate to Hilltop and serve as the realist yin to Zeke’s idealist yang in Henry’s life. It’s not Carol’s plea that softens her old pal, but Henry’s; he doesn’t want to be babysat any more than Daryl wants to do the sitting, but it’s Carol they’re both helping as much as each other (cue contemplative look on Daryl’s face). She couldn’t smile any wider when Daryl dusts off the bike and says he’s on board. It seems everyone’s plans change by the end. Michonne agrees to stay with the Rando caravan when she learns Rosita’s hurt and at Hilltop. Jesus dumps his to-do list on Tara and declares he’s going to look for Eugene with Aaron. And Daryl’s eager to join them and get back in the action again. Henry is grounded, but that’s probably fine with him, since he’s crushing hard on Enid. She’s now quite a catch, given her apocalyptic Florence Nightingale status, but is also way too old for you, kid. Stay away from that brat from Oceanside, though. (And speaking of, where are they?) So we watch the Eugene search party ride away toward an unknown menace that awaits and…well, that’s all, folks. (Cue the sad trombone.) Connie seems like she’ll play a key role in what’s to come; as one sense is taken away, others heighten, and it looks like she’s got some sort of zombie radar. But we’re left with more questions than answers and hoping the next chapter is more satisfying than this one.
