WE ARE SQUAWKING DEAD and we are covering Season 9's #midseasonfinale! With #TWDJesus gone, #TheWhisperers officially revealing themselves, and not much light shed on the intercommunity drama, we've got a WHOLE lot to cover!* Shout out to #Eye_in_the_dark2 for virtual co-hosting & #RIPJesus* ...and #TomPayne's ad spot for #KrakenRum: "A Tale Well Told" https://youtu.be/LBI5Vowhwis #ReleaseTheKraken* #Michonne / #DanaiGurira, "Previously on The Walking Dead"* SQUAWKING DEAD has some updated computer equipment!* #MichaelSatrazemis was a GOOD choice for this episode #FearTWD #FTWD #AliciaClark #AliciaDebnamCarey #NaomiLauraJune #JohnDorie* ...he is so nice that he accidentally outed #AndrewLincoln's show departure* Blurry #Walkers and focus on #TheWhisperers* Deliberate teaser for the back 8 of Season 9 quells our frustration with current mysteries #RyanHurst #Beta* Therapist #FatherGabriel and patient #Negan is appropriate: #TWDseason8* ...Gabe: frequent unlocker of gates. No more #CThomasHowell?* ...Gabe losing his cool with Negan, over #RositaEspinosa, speaks to his feelings* "The riders are coming": #SneakPeeks may explain intercommunity strife #AngusSampson #ShutEye #HandmaidsTale #ThePath #Hulu #JeffreyDonovan* ...or he's a #Hipster Whisperer(?)* #TheHilltop disarming friends: Michonne, #Siddiq, and the rest? #TWDTara & #CarolPeletier awkwardness* ...would you preserve your own community if it means another's falls?* #DarylDixon is best defined by the people around him (and the way you perceive him)* ...and is closer to Dave's theory about him being gay #TWDAaron* Funny coincidence how Daryl, Aaron, and #TWDJesus end up in the same rescue mission* ...and we know why the herd is growing, but it's interesting to see them so perplexed* Honing in on touching, precious, and even humorous moments that keep us watching* ...and immediately cleverly filming Henry's loneliness* Reflecting on #TheVultures from #FearTheWalkingDead while observing The Whisperers* Henry's on his own path: Daryl might be courting Lydia (which is OMINOUS)* ...if Daryl does survive The Whisperers, he and Magna or Yumiko should consider courtship* Kids are rebellious, but so is Siddiq* What's become of #TheOceanside? Flashbacks?* Negan wears new boots to his old stomping grounds * Arguably a better intro to The Whisperers than the #Comicbook* Opportunity for Negan to save Daryl in a fight with Beta, at #TheSanctuary* #EugenePorter's Qaddafi moment and Dog becoming a liability* A slight detour into the origin of #Terminus* Hilltop kids, blowing off steam (notice the "drum set"?) and Henry's puzzling reaction to pit #walker (thoughts?)* Unsettling reaction from Daryl's failed attempt at redirecting The Walkers* The mist of change reaches Alexandria, as well* Earl sympathizes all too well with Henry, speaking from the other side of the bars* Tara and Earl, Jesus isn't coming back. Who leads? and Daryl coming into his own #Sephiroth #KharyPayton* Bittersweet: #PaulRovia's incredible, but final, action sequences. Going out the way he came in: propelling the story* ...and Michonne's possible I-Told-You-So moment, as a result* Tom Payne did NOT want to leave the show!* Various, terrifying sneak peaks involving The Whisperers "You're more like us than them"* #SamanthaMorton's range and ability to embody #Alpha* Jesus' Eulogy and excitement over Angus Sampson joining the show* Michonne & #JudithGrimes over #CarlGrimes resting spot. Allowing #TheKingdom to fall. The Ryan Giant. Negan at The Sanctuary* It's been SEVERAL episodes since we've seen Marco #GustavoGomez.
