So Aaron will become the new Rick? He has the beard like in the comic book and now lost the same arm too.

Heath from the wiki:
Unfortunately for Heath, Tara falls over the bridge into the water, forcing him to retreat. When Tara eventually makes her way back to the bridge, she finds Heath gone together with the RV, leaving behind his broken glasses and a plastic card with "PPP" written on it. Heath is nowhere to be found on the bridge or Alexandria, leaving his current condition and whereabouts unknown.

I will not be satisfied until there is a Human/Walker romance.

I didn't see this mentioned last week. But did anyone notice on Talking Dead after episode 1 that Nicotero had a Whispers (or Whisperers) shirt on?

With a 2.0 rating among adults 18-49, the second episode of the ninth season of the show based on Robert Kirkman’s comics took the small screen’s once top rated show off a cliff to an all-time series low. “The Bridge” episode comes off last week’s highly promoted season opener, which was the lowest debut for the series and the second least watched premiere.

The October 14 TWD snagged an audience of 5 million, which was a drop of 19% from the October 7 season opener of the reset series. Among the 18-49, TWD fell 21% from the Season 9 debut.

They lost 1.1 million in a week.

Wait, that was Aaron that got pinned under the log and lost his arm? I know I wasn’t paying 100% attention, but that’s a big one for me to miss.

Two episodes in and I can’t say I’m digging this. I am enjoying Maggie’s arc and her wrangling with the decision to execute Gregory. I’m still 100% in the Team Maggie camp. She’s the only leader worthwhile.

Did anybody notice Glenn 2.0 on the scenes from next week?

LOL Glenn 2.0... yeah Maggie sure has a type.

Daryl looked fat to me... and he needs to clean up if he's going to be the new lead.

Which means the show is now drawing comparable numbers to Better Call Saul. That show is in what might be the toughest spot of the week, against MNF and WWE as well.

Essentially, the mainstream has probably moved on from TWD. Andrew L. leaving is going to be a huge blow.

Comparable to Better Call Saul? No.

BCS season four averaged a 0.44 with 1.488 million viewers.

I just don't get the point of your comment. They're all just relationships.
Apparently it matters to bigots because almost every TV show thread needs to have a least one person cliaming the show is "trying too hard to be PC" rather than the show just depicting the current reality where people no longer give a shit what bigots think and start muti-racial and same-sex relationships.

Seemed far too easy for the walkers to overcome those doing the work, but at this point it's par for the course for TWD show. Otherwise I found it a pretty solid episode.

Sorry, nope.

1.5 average for the season going head on against WWE Raw and MNF. What do you think TWD would be at on Monday night? That's not even to mention how much more time AMC spends advertising TWD since it is an in house production. BCS could easily pick up another point if moved to Sunday night.

Shoulda, coulda, woulda. Sorry, but you can't compare ratings based on speculative changes to the night it runs on. No way BCS would ever go up a whole point just by being on Sundays. Plus, TWD competes against football anyways and new shows on HBO/Showtime too.

Where did you get the 1.5 number for BCS?

I stopped watching midway through last season, but I was still surprised at the nosedive in ratings as they were beating Sunday Night Football a few years ago.

I still say if they would have announced an end game and said that maybe Season 10 would be the final season, I probably would have stuck with the show just to see how it ends (I usually stick out most shows to the end). But I think I read last year from either Kirkman or Gimple saying they could go on another 10-15 seasons, and that is when I finally bolted knowing this was turning into The Simpsons or SNL.
