The Walking Dead: Season 9

9x14 Scars

(9.7/10) - This episode was phenomenal from start to finish and is certainly one I will remember for being dark, very well written and powerful. Michonne has been quite a prominent character in previous seasons, but has slowly become less involved in the different storylines, so this was a much needed insight into recent events from her perspective.

In this episode, rather than Alpha and her group of Whisperers, an old friend of Michonne’s, named Jocelyn, served as the primary antagonist, along with a whole group of survivors (primarily children) who were accompanying her. I really enjoyed this concept of Michonne trying to find herself and her children. Also, the dialogue between her and Judith was very meaningful.

I particularly enjoyed the scene where Negan gets a visit from Michonne and they discuss Judith and how Negan has been telling her stories about Rick and Carl’s past. I am glad that they haven’t been forgotten and to be fair I still believe that Rick may be alive.

In the next episode, I am hoping to find out what has happened to Morgan, Maggie and/or Jadis as these characters haven’t really been spoken about recently, which is making me increasingly intrigued to find out what their situations are.

Episode 14 ended with a Whisperer duo peeking through the bushes only to find a group of Alexandrians arriving at the Kingdom, where they were preparing for the fair. If they really do inform Alpha of the gathering of the communities, then I have a great feeling about the next episode as it could be pretty magnificent, but I am very fearful for our characters. The Highwaymen are also clearly a threat so let’s see where Episode 15 takes us…
