Be warned! This review will cover aspects of the episode. Spoilers will lurk like groaning cover’budge ers…###Kicking off with some Walkers (the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue continuing to remind us that they still exist and are, from time to time, an actual threat), Warning Signs is once again far more interested in those among the living and how they're acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure ting along. And while some of the drama works, other sections mostly appear to be servicing the idea that Rick Grimes will be departing the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue in the near future.###Whether he's charging in on a horse to break up a boiling clash between the Saviors and other communities, enjoying a little morning delight with Michonne or spending a few hours with her and Judith, providing the kid with a family fun day, the Rick elements of the episode merely’barely really acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure going towards the end. The reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue has been laying the groundwork in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the mystery of who has been offing individual (primarily Saviors) and while there has been an attempt at mystery and subversion, the Oceanside answer feels logical and expected. True, a lot of the other groups possess’own’nurse reason to feel aggrieved by them (and Jadis/Anne certainly counts among that number), but the Oceanside squad truly suffered at their hands.###The peculiar plot line establish s to the point where the Oceansiders execute Arat, despite the latter pleading in/with regard to’concerning’regarding her life and pointing out how she's trying to make it work. It's the most effective moment of the episode, and definitely up there this season, with added resonance given that Rick, who has spent half the episode going on with regards to’concerning’with respect to how they shouldn't kill each other, just lets it happen.###Otherwise, the plotline with regards to’concerning’with respect to the distrust and anger between the communities is mostly a version of what we've seen: the Saviors being annoying and then looking to violence to sort it out and Maggie becoming increasingly annoyed by their actions (or inaction).###Finally, there's Anne, who becomes one of the prime suspects in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the disappearing Saviours. But it turns out that she has her own agenda – not merely’barely is she in contact with the individual who flew the helicopter near her recently, but it turns out she's after something – someone – to bring back into that mysterious group. It's all wrapped up in talk of "A"s and "B"s and when Gabriel goes to confront her, he quickly becomes something she can use.###Warning Signs finds the reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue initially still unable to draw truly compelling drama out of the idea of the various groups finding it tough to work toacquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure her When tempers do boil over, the squabbles amount to a few raised voices and one or two individual pointing guns or threatening someone. At least until Oceanside goes in in/with regard to’concerning’regarding the kill. Even then, we're treated to Darryl and Maggie deciding that Rick's way is failing and they're going to "see" Negan. Translation: kill him. Yeah, that'll help things.###The reveal’illustrate’demonstrate’indicate’present’display’argue is suffering a real ratings tumble this year, and while the new plotline with regards to’concerning’with respect to community squabbles started out fresh, it'll need to figure something out bein/with regard to’concerning’regarding e we all acquire’obtain’attain’procure’secure sick of individual arguing. And turning Maggie into the angel of vengeance (with Darryl at her side) probably won't be as easy a fix as despite’in spite of’albeit t.###Highlight: Whatever is going on with Anne.###Lowlight: Rick's day off. Did we really need to see him having a lovely picnic? We know Andrew Lincoln's leaving, but really?###Kill of the week: Arat suffers the judgement of Oceanside.###Quote of the week: "Killing each other when the world already belongs to the dead, that's not the way." – Rick, shortly bein/with regard to’concerning’regarding e events bring a intense’fierce’exquisite feeling of irony to his statement.###Zombie of the week: Justin the undead Savior. Still kind of annoying.###MVP: Carol. When will individual learn that trying to capture her is just a wicked’dreadful’undesirable’adverse’vile idea all around?###The enormous’vast’massive’tremendous question: Is killing Negan the best way to help matters? It might make Maggie feel better, but that's with regards to’concerning’with respect to it. Now we possess’own’nurse to wait and see the ramifications of an attempt on his life…###Read this season's reviews###The Walking Dead* Season 9, Episode 1: *A New Beginning###The Walking Dead* Season 9, Episode 2: *The Bridge###Read last season's reviews below… The Walking Dead* Season 8, Episode 1: *Mercy###The Walking Dead Season 8, Episode 2: The Damned###The Walking Dead* Season 8, Episode 3: *Monsters###The Walking Dead* Season 8, Episode 9: *Honor###The Walking Dead* Season 8, Episode 10: *The Lost And The Plunderers###The Walking Dead* Season 8, Episode 11: *Dead Or Alive Or###The Walking Dead* Season 8, Episode 12: *The Key###The Walking Dead* Season 8, Episode 13: *Do Not Send Us Astray###The Walking Dead* Season 8, Episode 14: *Still Gotta Mean Something###The Walking Dead* Season 8, Episode 15: *Worth###The Walking Dead airs Sundays at 9pm on AMC in the States and Mondays at 9pm on Fox.
