Bad thinhgs are going to happen!
Deep look at the main villains of the season with great drama and suspension
We get to see the everyday life of The Whisperers, it's something we never got to see in the graphic novel but it's a nice addition, a very important one. It sets the tone of who they are and makes them look like something real, a cult or group that could exist. Great work to the makeup and writing team! I really did feel an improvement to the dialogue in this episode, feeling natural and overall good. The set that they created for the Whisperers camp was simple but nice. Overall a great build up episode, showing us great drama and suspension in an episode that ultimately builds towards something interesting and iconic.
At first I didn't know what to think about Samantha Morton's performance as Alpha but after seeing three episodes with her I'm sold, she got the ability to act out the scenes and the knowledge of the unpredictable nature of the character, one to be feared. Ryan Hurst is perfect as Beta, he can possibly make the character even better than he was in the graphic novel. Other great character moments were Rosita, Daryl and Negan. Daryl is once again one of my favorites as he kind of acts like he did in the first 4 seasons which is nice to see.

Riveting episode!
This was an outstanding episode. Alpha is quite the character. You get to know more about what makes her tick. You get to meet Beta, her sidekick(or whatever he is), too. The redemption of the Negan storyline continues. A lot of great stuff in this episode. The actress who plays Alpha has such a presence, I enjoyed every second of her on screen. Fantastic episode tonight.

People way down at the bottom for rating the episode 1 star
First of all this is a message regarding the people all the way down the reviews rating this episode 4 stars or even 1 star. Second to the smart ass who said "this season has been poor overall and whisperers are so boring how come they can't chop down trees to make shelter?" Well 1 too much noise attracts walkers to their camp which we've seen in this episode. 2 the mid season premier is called "Adaption" do you have any idea what that means or is your brain to stupid to coprehend what that means. They adopt to their surroundings thus meaning they don't need shelter. And to the one who said "where's Maggie" if you've been paying attention to the earlier episodes they said she went to a new camp to build a civilization but yea I forgot your ears are clogged up that you can't hear what they said right. And lastly. To the people who said "this show is garbage it should of ended 2 seasons ago" or "this show needs to end" why would it end when it's been an overall masterpiece of a season. But hey you couch potato you have the remote change the channel if you don't like it. And bring your negative energy to sites and bash the show.
AMAZING!!! ALPHA AND BETA OMG
Wow... what an awesome episode! OMG, I just loved it, it was a very solid episode. The plot of the whisperes was damn great! Although the plot was slow, the narrative was incredible, for this type of episodes TWD shines.
The way they showed us about the whisperers was unique, they showed us their way of thinking and acting.

The Way of Life of the Whisperers
Michonne´s security decisions are questioned by the Alexandria Council that wants to participate of the Kingdom´s fair. Negan proposes to be her advisor and Michonne refuses the offer. Daryl and Connie track down Henry while the teenager learns how cruel Alpha is.
"Guardians" is an episode where the viewer learns how cruel Alpha and her sidekick Beta are. Daryl and Connie risk their lives and Hilltop safety rescuing Henry. This stupid and stubborn character is the annoying part of the show. Michonne is concerned with the security of her community but people seem to have forgotten what happened in the past. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Guardians"

This episode exceeded my expectations!
"Guardians" is an amazing, chilling, and dark episode that gives us more insight into how the Whisperers live. We are introduced to the badass villain Beta and get to see what happens when someone questions Alpha's leadership.. On the other end of the spectrum, there are some great scenes with the people at Alexandria, especially Eugene/Gabriel, Michonne/Judith, & Michonne/Negan. This episode is really great and definitely one of the better ones of Season 9 so far!
"Guardians" continues to explore the fallout of Lydia's return to the Whisperers, as the survivors prepare for an inevitable conflict
In the woods, Alpha questions Lydia about her time at Hilltop but gets nothing out of her though she suspects something is up. Henry is discovered by Beta who takes him to Alpha. Henry sees their way of life and what happens when someone challenges Alpha. At night, Alpha and Beta decide to test Lydia's loyalty by forcing her to kill Henry. This is halted by the arrival of Daryl and Connie who lead Walkers into their camp. Henry forces Daryl to let Lydia come along.
In Alexandria, Michonne scolds her council for keeping secrets from her only for Gabriel to retort that she would've shot their ideas down anyway like sending a delegation to the Kingdom's upcoming trade fair. She asserts that it's so Alexandria survives. She later allows a delegation to go, after Judith confronts her on how she changed despite her belief that no one can change.
"Guardians" continues to explore the fallout of Lydia's return to the Whisperers, as the survivors prepare for an inevitable conflict. The episode delves into themes of loyalty and betrayal, as the survivors question where their allegiances truly lie. One of the most dramatic scenes is when Henry defies the survivors' orders and sets out to rescue Lydia, highlighting the lengths he is willing to go to protect her. "Guardians" sets the stage for a showdown between the communities and the Whisperers, as both sides prepare for a battle that will determine the fate of the region.
The episode also examines the theme of family, as the survivors grapple with the complexities of their relationships in this new world. This theme is exemplified in Michonne's interactions with Judith, as she struggles to balance her role as a leader with her desire to protect her daughter. This theme of family underscores the survivors' need for connection and belonging, even in the midst of chaos and danger.

Good, But...
I thought it was a good episode overall, but some things need to be addressed.....
Are Gabriel, Rosita, and Siddiq going to have a threesome now or something?
Why does Judith need to have the most unbearably annoying voice in the history of television?
And I think we need to finally find out what happened during the time jump. I'm tired of seeing emotional conversations related to the time skip without finding out what happened during those years.
Just had to say those things....

What have I missed?
Why do the whisperers walk like the dead?
Why do rubber masks keep the real deadens away? Didn't Rick and Co have to smother themselves in viscera to blend in?
This is getting harder and harder to like.
No spoilers here. The producers are doing a fine job of that.

People in this world
How can a life of a person be so miserable, that it has to rate a TV SHOW EPISODE with 1 Star before it even came out?
This alone answers the question, if IMDb ratings should be taken seriously and if they are a reliable source of information, regarding movie and tv quality.
Props to you fellow users!

Wow. Just wow...
With hints of what's to come from Alpha. That was seriously disturbing and awesome all at once! This episode was a 10! You people who continue to trash this show need to find a new show already. TWD is better than ever!

"Deadly Consequences"
I know the episode is supposed to draw links between the "guardians" of Lydia, Henry, and even Judith, but the episode never really gets going the way the last few weeks have. Michonne comes off as overprotective, Alpha and Beta push Lydia to do things no parent should, and Daryl once again gets Henry out of a sticky situation. The problem lies with the slow pacing and lack of delivery on the "deadly consequences" that the synopsis reads. Plus, there's no really no need for a love quadrangle between characters that don't seem to have earned that at this point in the show. Let's hope next week picks the pace back up.
6.8/10

The Walking Soap Opera. No Rick Part 7. O'Henry Chronicles. Contrivance & Censorship. As a comedy, 10 stars. Otherwise, 1 star. Can you handle the truth?
