The Walking Dead: The Storm (2019)
Season 9, Episode 16
8/10
Great Episode, Terrible Finale
1 April 2019
Warning: Spoilers
There were a lot of great moments in this episode, not going to lie. Judith saved by Negan, the walkers coming out of the snow, Lydia wanting to kill herself, and the Kingdom falling.

But, as a whole, the episode was branched out, had a lot of boring dialogue, and didn't fit as a finale.

The Walking Dead has had some great finales over the years. Yes, seasons 6 & 8 weren't the most well liked, but they were thrilling, exciting, and both seasons had massive cliffhangers. Season 9? Not really a big cliffhanger. The radio static got me excited a bit, as a hope for Maggie or Rick to return, but that's it. I was only excited for a bit.

After that, the episode just ended. Ended right there. After much buildup, and only a single scene with the Whisperers, it ended. Yes, they want to bring people back for season 10 (and they will), but the ending was dull in a way.

Loved episode 15, as I thought it was one of the best in the entire series. This one, not so much.

Great episode, terrible finale.
