7/6/2023 0 Comments Rick the walking dead forum![]() ![]() The Walking Dead showrunner Angela Kang provided to Business Insider some additional - and extra-intriguing - insights about this moment. "The boots are an iconic part of Rick's costume, would've been on his person at the time of the bridge explosion, and would be immediately recognizable to Michonne, so that's how we came to have this first clue," said Kang." After the time jump, the survivors were quickly embroiled in a new conflict with rival group the Whisperers, and little was ever revealed about the intervening years or Rick's absence - that is, until last week. During the latter half of season 9, The Walking Dead leapt forward six years to reveal a network of communities with Alexandria at the center, thriving under the leadership of Gurira's Michonne. Since that moment, quite a bit of time has passed in-series. Fortunately for fans of Grimes, Lincoln only wanted a reprieve from the oppressive summer shooting schedule, and was more than willing to return for the much-discussed series of films.Īccording to ScreenRant, instead of perishing in a fiery blaze, Rick was abducted by the mysterious CRM Group and helicoptered off to parts unknown. At the time, AMC kept pretty mum about the circumstances of Lincoln's departure, and many fans assumed that the character who led the series since its 2010 bow would meet an untimely end. ![]() To Andrew Lincoln, all we can do is say thanks and promise to follow him wherever he roams next on the tube.Thanks to Michonne's (Danai Gurira) exit from the series on "What We Become," season 10's 13th episode, we now have a bit more information about that fateful day at the exploding bridge back during season 9 and Rick's mysterious abduction by helicopter. The only significant character left for him to cross paths with is Maggie, played by Lauren Cohan, who also happens to be exiting - at some point - to star in the ABC midseason series “Whiskey Cavalier.” Could Maggie save him from the immediate threat but ultimately perish as well?Īnother actor might have been able to make “The Walking Dead” work, but another actor would not have brought the intensity and intelligence Lincoln brought to every scene. The character, tellingly, last week shared moments with Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Carol (Melissa McBride), the only other survivors from season one. Two herds of walkers are closing in on him.ĪMC has confirmed the episode title, “What Comes After,” and says of the episode, “Rick is forced to face the past as he struggles to maintain the safety of the communities and protect the future he and Carl envisioned.”Īmong the ghosts of Rick’s past appearing: Shane (Jon Bernthal, “Marvel’s The Punisher”), Rick’s best friend, whom Rick killed in season two heroic Sasha (Sonequa Martin-Green, beaming in from “Star Trek: Discovery”) and kindly Hershel (Scott Wilson, who died last month).Ĭan Rick really go into that Good Night without seeing his beloved Lori (Sarah Wayne Callies), killed off in season three, and son Carl (Chandler Riggs), who died last year? Last week ended with him tossed by a horse and impaled on a rebar pipe. Lincoln, amid all the gore he’s waded through, has given him a nobility worthy of Atticus Finch. Rick has been the linchpin of the series from day one, a man struggling to keep those he cares about alive and to rebuild civilization. He’s the former Atlanta sheriff who woke from a coma and found the world had gone to hell. “Dead” has killed off so many significant players, but there is no one more important in this world overrun by ravenous zombies than Rick Grimes. ![]() New showrunner Angela Kang seems to be trying to regain our trust. This doesn’t look as if it will go down the way of the great Glenn-dumpster-fake-out that alienated so many viewers and started the show on its ratings spiral. The actor and the show revealed months ago that Lincoln had decided to leave the horror hit to spend more time with his family in the United Kingdom. Tonight, barring any last-minute swerve, switcheroo or outright lie, star Andrew Lincoln departs AMC’s “The Walking Dead” (at 9 p.m.). ![]()
