Rick may be a temporary curtain call, but my youth is gone forever (Season 9, Episode 5)

In the summer after the college entrance examination, I suddenly relaxed. I sat in front of the computer all day, looking for all kinds of excitement. I basically watched zombie and death-themed movies. I accidentally saw the new American drama, the zombie theme attracted me. At that time, it was still the first season of the pilot broadcast. There were only 6 episodes. I finished watching the first season in one night.

In the beginning, Glenn, lively and witty, with a small Asian stature, seemed immature. Although saving Rick, I have no fan plot for him. Along the way, Glenn grew up slowly. In fact, when it came to marrying Maggie for a lifetime and even creating a human with her (can you not bear to create a human if the medical conditions are basically zero) I still don't trust this character very much. Lun grows a beard, his complexion darkens, and the muscle lines on his face, including his arms, become distinct. I feel that this man has grown up (sorry for my face control). I won't talk about it later, it hurts.

Rick is a controversial character, sometimes his decisions are very satisfying, but in the next few seasons he seems to be more and more procrastinating and incompetent, falling into "human nature". , Rick is not a god, he can be a hero for a while, but he can't be a hero all his life. He is a human and can be lost. In this episode, perhaps due to limited funding, there should be more characters in Rick's hallucinations.

This episode of Rick was also sent away. He and Glenn are actually the "old men" in the real sense. After so many years, as old fans, Rick had hallucinations several times in this episode. People" went to the back to see the "new family", and the emotions slowly accumulated. Finally, Rick raised the gun with one hand. This scene was so familiar, as if he had seen it many years ago, and the tears could not stop at this time. The final BGM is lively and jumping, like the finale, and I really cried.

Goodbye my youth.

A New Beginning quotes

  • Michonne: I'm glad you won your election.

    Maggie Greene: I'm glad I grew up on a farm.

  • Michonne: The famous Rick Grimes!

    Rick Grimes: God dam it!, don't you start too.

    Michonne: It's sweet, just don't let it get to your head.

    Rick Grimes: No, not today, that's for sure.

    Michonne: Yeah, I don't envy Maggie right now.

    Rick Grimes: No.

    [Both sigh]

    Michonne: Rick, seeing his name on the wall. Did we do the right thing, sometimes I think maybe we should've just killed him?

    Rick Grimes: I think about it a lot. But killing him wouldn't have changed what we'd have seen today. They don't want Negan, they want food.

    Michonne: You don't know that Rick, not for sure. I've been thinking, maybe we need an agreement between all the communities, like: "This is what we believe; This is how we treat each other; And this is what happens when we don't."

    Rick Grimes: Yeah. It's good. It feels like the right time.

    Michonne: We always couldn't before because we were always running and fighting.

    Rick Grimes: It's smart, building up something like that, it could pull people closer together. You know Daryl's not happy, he's got me worried about things breaking down.

    Michonne: He wouldn't say something of it, if it wasn't important. He cares.

    Rick Grimes: Too much sometimes.

    Michonne: Hey, if he's worried there's a reason. So what do we do about it?

    Rick Grimes: I think we need to fix that bridge.

    Michonne: Ok, I'll get the people to agree a charter.

    Rick Grimes: Charter? Not a constitution?

    Michonne: Carter.

    Rick Grimes: Huh, ok. Tomorrow. Ok.

    Michonne: Yeah.

    Rick Grimes: How did I get so lucky finding you?

    Michonne: We both lost enough. It's time we won a little, don't you think?... Ooh, the famous Rick Grimes!
