Well, it was confirmed today that Andrew Lincoln (Rick) will be leaving the show after season 9. Maggie is only signed up for 9 episodes in Season 9. Looks like this one is on it's way out.
Yea, that's not good. Not going to be much of a show with Carl, Maggie and Rick gone.
Premiere tonight and we keep getting power outages that restart my smart tv and takes 5 minutes to re ******* boot! Pissed!
Maggie going straight kiss my ass, Negan and his followers. Not sure I like her being this cold hearted.
Anybody still watching this? I'm crying like a baby!
On the one hand pleased they are doing Rick Grimes movies (sounds like there is a commitment for three, but could be more or less), but on the other feel that they screwed with fans a bit saying Andrew Lincoln was leaving the Walking Dead (technically true, but not quite).
Hopefully they can inject some good character life into the show with a Judith able to kill, and these new characters (one was on the show 100). I've been real curious how they were going to proceed with no Carl, Rick or Maggie, since the other characters are good, but not lead the group/show good. Maggie could have been that person.
My opinion apparently differs, but what a crap way to take Rick out. Don't even give him the benefit of actually giving his life for the cause. Instead, he gets whisked away to some strange place that we'll have to wait for AMC original movies to tell us about and live the rest of his years away from his "family" and out of sight from viewers.
I just thought there could have been a more noble way to end the Rick Grimes era. This just seems like an opportunity for AMC and Kirkman to drag out the storyline and the series for a lot longer...which rarely ends up a good move.
