Bring Out Your Dead 902: Bleeding Cool’s The Walking Dead Live-Blog!

Welcome back to Bring Out Your Dead: Bleeding Cool’s The Walking Dead Live-Blog!, as we take a look at the next episode in the game-changing ninth season for AMC‘s long-running drama-horror series, 'The Bridge.' /// Less than two years after Rick (Andrew Lincoln), Maggie (Lauren Cohan), Michonne (Danai Gurira), and the rest of the communities banded together to bring down Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and the Saviors, work on rebuilding society continues on - as Negan stews in a prison cell. And while the communities may be working together, not all are created equal: the Sanctuary is unable to grow its own food - or move out from under the shadow of the Saviors, thanks to those still loyal. Add to that a growing view among the communities that they shouldn't feel obligated to save a community that once tortured and killed their citizens - a view Maggie's shared since Rick made the decision to let Negan live, and a view she had in mind when she ordered a permanent solutuon to her "Negan problem," Gregory (Xander Berkeley). /// Which is why things continue to be tense between our survivors heading into this week's episode of AMC's The Walking Dead. Last episode, Rick and Michonne asked Maggie for help in repairing the main bridge leading to Hilltop, but she agreed only when it was decided that the Sanctuary would supply labor. From what we can see in the following episode trailer, a project meant to bring the communities together might be the final thing to drive them apart. /// The Walking Dead s09e02 'The Bridge': The communities join forces to restore a bridge that will facilitate communication and trade; someone is gravely injured at the construction site.
