After so much waiting for this moment, we finally reached it; that is to say when Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) bid farewell to the series as announced several months before the premiere of the ninth season. In fact, it's an interesting goodbye, though bittersweet in many ways. Here we talk about it.

We remind you not to continue reading if you have not seen episode 9×05, entitled "What Comes After".

In May, the fans of The Walking Dead received news that would paralyze us for a moment: Andrew Lincoln would be fired after the 90-year season . This news was followed by the fact that for Lauren Cohan (Maggie), it would also be his last delivery. With that and the change in the makers of the series, yes, this has been questioned it was worth it that the show be followed despite the release of such important characters. Although the audience is divided into opinions, AMC is convinced that Robert Kirkman's comic-based series still has a lot to offer, and not just 10 years of the universe announced The Walking Dead but in the last episode of Rick, they announced that they would shoot at least three movies on the most famous police chief of the apocalypse.

In the previous episode, everything was ready to send Rick back; his mortal wound was ominous. We have also seen in the advances that it would make a kind of record of his life, important moments and loved ones who have marked his way and his soul. Indeed in the episode we saw Shane, Hershel – actor Scott Wilson managed to film these scenes before his death – and Sasha . Rick's hallucinations tell us a lot. In addition to being a goodbye to his long journey, they also reminded us that his biggest engine was still his family, which made him stand out over his life when he was woke up in full zombie invasion after years. staying in a coma What had made him struggle, stand up and survive all that time, as well as the only thing that had kept him from losing his mind forever.

His visions also reminded this policeman that his work had not been less, that he had touched the lives of many people and that his legacy would transcend his own life. The truth is that Rick's farewell becomes, even though it's pretty obvious, quite emotional. Of course, it would be more if we had said goodbye forever . Why not risk letting her go immediately? Why a warm farewell to the most important character in the series? We really expect a good answer because the series should not withstand unlikely turns. Rick's sacrifice would undoubtedly be worth more if it had cost him his life, but no, it was decided to leave the door open to this character.

In addition to Rick, who was prodigiously saved by Jadis, we must remember. Maggie was also her last episode . She considers that her account with Negan is broken and destroyed after months of detention, which is why she refuses to kill him because it would have been a reward for him.

At the end of the episode, we can see that the story is off. the weather. An almost teenage Judith – with an extraordinary gun capacity – is presented. In the advances, we see in addition Michonne and Carol with a new appearance; to Gabriel investigating what is beyond the known limits and to a brave and daring Eugene – it seems that he spends much time. In addition, Negan continues to close his doors even though he looks better and has an unusual friendship with Judith . Let's see what this series has in store for the rest of the season. We will still have 3 episodes before the end of the year.
