Ken's death in the Season 9 premiere served a purpose, but it didn't connect with us emotionally. Credit: AMCĮvery single significant death in a show needs to have a reason or serve some higher purpose, even if it just to shock audiences.

Maybe that looked okay on paper, but it didn't work on TV and left us with that bad, unconvincing taste in our mouths.Īt least Gregory bit the dust. For reasons the show cannot provide, a zombie manages to sneak up on him and nobody can get to him in time to save him.
So when Ken (I think that was his name) runs back to save the horses we know right away he's going to die.
But a few zombies can scare Rick and his band of hardened survivors away regardless. In an apocalypse where cars are no longer an option, horses must be one of the most prized-and hard to come by-resources out there. One thing leads to another and they decide to all run away and, bafflingly, abandon the horses. This leads to much fear and commotion, despite this being a much smaller zombie mob than we've seen the same survivors deal with easily in the past. Our group, comprised largely of characters we know and then also one other guy named Ken, is bringing the museum loot back to Alexandria and Hilltop when a small mob of zombies shuffles up behind them. The second big problem of the night came shortly after the first. Oh no like 12 zombies are coming run away! Credit: AMC This entire sequence was insulting to our intelligence and had no business being in a premiere cable TV show. These hardened survivors of the apocalypse should know better-and would know better if they weren't continually written into these same corners over and over and over again. This is a classic example of The Walking Dead's writers treating its viewers with contempt. Ezekiel could have avoided walking the entire length of the breaking glass by simply turning to one side or the other once exiting the stairs. Passing items over the railing would have worked. But even if they'd had it broken to begin with, making it more precarious from the get-go, there was no reason they couldn't have found another way around it. That kind of glass is made to withstand a great deal more impact.

The floor itself would not have cracked so easily. Worse, the entire sequence with the glass floor was embarrassingly bad. There was very little explanation as to why they needed all these heavy objects-surely there were more modern versions of things like carts and ploughs which they could find on farms or in hardware stores.
