Rick learns a lot about himself in this episode.
What I will say is that the pace quickens a lot in the back eight.
It jumps up a gear, maybe two gears, and we move very, very quickly.
A lot of things happen in quick succession that propel us towards a very thrilling finale.
The scale of it is astonishing.
It was all night.
I think its going to scare some people.
What is this zombie siege going to ultimately do for the survivors?
Will this still be a town divided or will those who survive band together?
That question is very quickly answered in the returning episode.
All I will say is this is ourMagnificent Seven, this episode.
Why is Alexandria worth saving?
We have the capability of growing things.
And we dont have any other options.
But also, there are substantial houses that work.
I think it is.
When we arrived there we felt that instantly.
Ricks strength is seeing that we can fortify this place.
There is a time jump, I will say, at some point.
And you will see why we stay in Alexandria.
What is Ricks take going to be on this expanding world and other pockets of people?
I think youll see theres a marked change in Rick as a result of what happens in episode 9.
Its one of those watershed moments that happens.
And as a result he learns something vital about being a leader.
And yet again, he changes.
And he develops a new way of leading.
And that could be said for the back 8, in that it turns very dark.
Im more excited than Ive been for a long, long time.
Weve been spending so much time looking inward and looking inside the walls, certainly in the Alexandria chapter.
Now, were looking to the horizon.
In one direction you see good, and in the other direction, you see very, very bad.
But the world is suddenly growing.
And as a result, the show grows again.
