Dead Viewing: Season 8, Episode 9-"Honor"



***WARNING***
***You may want to stop here.***
***There will be spoilers.***
***This is not a review. It is just my thoughts as I'm watching the show.***
***I update during commercials.***
Remember, I'm just writing what I see and reacting.


Opening with Rick praying, flashing forward to a future that includes Jerry and Judith, Rick and Michonne digging a grave, and we see how Carl gets bitten while helping Siddiq. Carl has grown in so many ways that I'm really pissed about how they are taking him away from us when we finally love this dude, but he seems oddly at peace with the whole thing by writing letters to all the people he cares about. Morgan at the Sanctuary. We now see how the Saviors got out of the Sanctuary. Morgan managed to make it out of the Sanctuary by using walkers, and now the Saviors are on the move with Morgan trailing them on foot. Should be interesting I guess.

Carol has gotten the people of the Kingdom to safety. Now, Carol is going back to rescue Ezekiel, and she will not let any of them go with her. Back to Alexandria and Carl is showing Rick and Michonne the bite. Carl gives the letters to Michonne who just can't handle this. He tells Rick about Siddiq, and how the bite just happened. Ezekiel is just calmly waiting with the Saviors, as they tell him Negan is going to kill. Ezekiel says that it doesn't matter what happens to him because he has ferried his people to freedom. Ezekiel tells the Savior that he made a choice that he can live with. Can he doe the same. Morgan has made it to the Kingdom roughly the same time. They realize that little Henry has made it to the Kingdom as well. Michonne and Rick both giving Siddiq the evil eye as he offers him medicine. We find out that Siddiq was a resident. We have a new doctor. Michonne is asking Dwight to sacrifice his life to get the Saviors to stop the bombing. Rosita and Michonne want to get everybody to the Hilltop now. Dwight wants them to wait out the bombing then go. Dwight doesn't think it is a good idea to go to the Hilltop, but Daryl thinks all of them together will be the savior's worst nightmare.

Carol and Morgan making plans to take out the Saviors. Two Saviors down. They got two more. Morgan is no longer hesitating. He's freaking Carol out a bit though. Gavin is still yammering to Ezekiel. Ezekiel is ever the philosopher. Michonne is comforting Carl. Carl tells her that it doesn't have to be like this. Judith is the quietest baby ever. Morgan is tripping again. He would have almost caught a bullet if not for Carol. Gavin tells Ezekiel that he going for his last ride. Gavin is like me. I'm just tired of all the darkness. They hear gunfire in the distance and move Ezekiel into the building.

Wait, Rick has Eugene in his flashforward, too? Back to Rick and Michonne digging, and now back to the sewer. Rick is going to stay with Carl as the others got to the Hilltop. Michonne says that she is going to stay. Rick wants her to take Judith. Daryl says that he will make sure Judith gets to Hilltop safely. Now, Carl is saying his goodbyes to Judith, and I'm about to blubber. Daryl praises Carl for saving everybody in Alexandria. Siddiq tells Carl that he is going to honor him and prove himself worthy to the group.

There is an all-out firefight in Ezekiel's throne room, and Morgan just disemboweled a Savior. Gavin even though limping manages to escape. Ezekiel tells Morgan they should take their leave. Morgan tells him they don't have to leave, because they are all dead. Carl is telling Michonne not to be angry or sad, and don't carry this with her. Carl just told Michonne that she is his best friend, and I'm tearing up. Now, they want to get Carl out of here.

Morgan is stalking Gavin as Michonne and Rick try to move Carl from the sewer. They take Carl into the burned out church. Carl is telling Rick about the kid he killed at the prison. He is talking about how easy it was to kill him. Gavin is trying to talk Morgan out of kill him. Rick tells him he was just a boy, but he said he changed he made friends of enemies. He said you put away your gun so I could change. To stop fighting is what's right. He is telling Rick that he can be like that again. Morgan doesn't kill Gavin, but he is still contemplating it. As Ezekiel tells him not to because he will reap his. Carol is also tell Morgan to stand down, because he doesn't want to. Morgan says he has to, but before he can, Henry takes Gavin out. So, the flash-forward was Carl's dream of everyone rebuilding Hilltop and Alexandria. He wants them to build and work together. Rick tells Carl that everything that he has done has been for Carl and Judith. Carl says he wants the dream for Rick. Rick tells him he is going to make it real.

Henry just pulled a Carl, and he tells Ezekiel that he had to. Ezekiel tells him it will be resolved. Carl tells Michonne and Rick to love, and he is taking Rick's gun, because he has grown up, and wants to do it himself. Rick tells Carl that he will make it real, and they both leave as Carl kills himself. Wait, what? Negan in the garden? If there was ever a snake in the garden. Until next week...
