"I will forever be haunted" - The internet reacts to The Walking Dead season 9's penultimate episode
Why The Walking Dead season 9's latest bombshe🃏ll has everyone rooting for a Negan comeback

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Walking Dead season 9's penultimate episode, The Calm Before, was a non-stop cascade of shock, awe, and emotions. So many gosh darn emotions! We won't reveal the details here (though consider this your only spoiler warning before we do), butꦕ suffice to say tha𝓀t things aren't looking too bright for the future of our new age communities right now.
Of course the internet had things to say, then, and Walking Dead fans have always been g💜reat at speaking for all of us within the space of 280 characters on Twitter. Below, we've got some of the best internet hot takes on the latest episode, fresh from the online oven, so go watch it and come back here to find out what eve🐲ryone else is saying about the latest apocalypse disaster.
Goodness knows w🌟hat AMC has in store for the finale, because I'm not sure season 9 can get any more bloody and tragic at this p💮oint.
When tragedy hits...
The Calm Before held its bombshell until the very last moments, but that did nothing to reduce its impact on our eyeballs. Ozzy, Alek, D.J., Frankie, Tammy Rose, Rodney, Addy, Enid, Tara, an🐈d Henry all lost their lives to The Whisperers, and had their zombified heads planted on pikes to serve as a reminder not to mess with Alpha (and also conveniently marking the border between her territory and Hilltop's). It was a g꧒ruesome sight, yet beautifully choreographed and almost poetic in its tone.
I can’t remember the last time I was this shocked after an epi🎉sode of #TheWalkingDead @😼AMCTalkingDead
Can't believe who they killed on #TheWalkingDead tonight 😭 pic.twitter.com/CzPodbs42q
This is without a doubt one of my favorite #TheWalkingDead episodes of all time. I will forever be haunted by the pike lineup reveal.. 💔
RIP The Highwaymen
We were only introduced to them a few episodes ago, but The Highwaymen paid the p🐓rice for protecting the road to The Kingdom by losing two of their men, one of which was their leader, Ozzy. It's unclear whether A🦂MC has any further plans for this group beyond The Whisperer arc of season 9, but one thing's for certain. Carol's going to have to host a lot of movies to make up for this calamity.
Thank you Highwaymen for your service.💯Your watch has ended RIP#TheWalkingDead pic.♚twitter.com/po1YurZX1n
#TheWalkingDeadBro, the highwaymen legit lost their lives trying to protect the others who they didnt even know... And in the end they didnt even get to see that movie....😭💔 thank you Highwaymen. I actually really liked the leader though, kinda upset that hes gone.
The fact that the Highway men tried to save our people and didn’t even get to watch the movie makes me so sad 😭 #TheWalkingDead
Badass Carol unlocked
Speaking of Carol... The Walking Dead's very own 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Wonder Woman, Carol Peletier lost yet another child to the ⭕zombie apocalypse, this time in the form of surrogate son (and eternal thorn in the viewer's side), Henry. I'll admit I was pretty glad to see his head there instead of Ezekiel's, but the emotions rushing across Carol's face as the realisation dawns on her is no less painful to take in.
Call me a nerd, but I love🌳 the parallel of Daryl telling🌊 Carol to look away from Henry just as he did with Sophia #TheWalkingDead

The Negan redemption story
Finally, finally, we might just have a reason to bring Negan back into The Walking Dead. While 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Walking Dead season 8 turned most viewers off the Saviour leader for good, his brutal, pull no punches approach to war could be a much needed edge against the inevitable climax against The Whisperers, and fans are already demanding Ale🅺xandria release h🍌im for a final stand. Talk about turning the tables.

If you've read the comics, then you know there's an opportunity for AMC to bring both Negan and Lucille back into the fold, regardless of the man's ༺former war crimes. Whether that takes place in The Walking Dead season 9's finale, or continues over into the already announced tenth season, remains undisclosed. Given the size of Alpha's Walker herd, though, I think our heroes might be fighting her for a while...
