Eleven Years and Counting

 The first season 2022 episode of THE WALKING DEAD started last Sunday. It was  no way out for Maggie Greene and her group when Carver of the walker gang the Reapers and had them cornered. They fought to death until one by one they were down on the floor in pain, then to the rescue, Daryl came to help them. Daryl took matters into his hands by taking Carver with them to his ex-gf Leah's headquarter and use Carver as bait or replacement for Leah. ? However, it is what it is something lies between Daryl and his ex-gf. Maggie knew that she wont play their game and shot them from the back after their release. Two Reapers down and Leah was shot too but not dead...not yet. Carver was also taken by surprise and Maggie became the new butcher and Negan cannot really fathom what's behind Maggie's rage & hate. Negan probably forgot that what he did to Glen is nothing sort of forgiven for the time being and all the chances that he saved Maggie in few dangerous situations is not equal to the damage he did to her and her baby for losing a father. By the way, Alden who was wounded and left behind inside the old rotten chapel was already consumed and had turned into zombie. Maggie can only blame herself in the end but at least given Alden a proper burial. Once again, Negan came face to face at the burial site with Maggie but this time Negan must choose to stay away from Maggie as they don't trust each other. We can't blame Maggie for being not too trusting. It's a zombie war and war against humans who are psychologically ruined, physically and  mentally impaired humans trying to survive. 

Maggie, Daryl and Maggie's friend returned to Alexandria carrying (horse drawn) some of the food they gathered. Later on the Commonwealth soldiers arrived by surprise at the compound and this time once again with Eugene acting as "middleman." WTH. Eugene always that too trusting, always taking sides and what could be happening next? 

Anyway, just keep on watching. It is the unpredictability of this Walking Dead series that those fans are still watching episode per episode of this long running horror zombie television series. We've been watching TWD for the past 11 years.
