That was entertaining, but the mystery that I'm even more intrigued by involved a cryptic walkie talkie exchange referring to people as As and Bs. The mystery was solved just in time for the end of the episode, as if this were CSI with zombies… Except the mystery was solved by the exact people you would not want to solve it if you were an abducted and threatened Savior. Wounds were examined, suspects were named, weapons were looked over. It was kind of funny to see The Walking Dead turn into a mystery show for an episode, including a moment where Rick switched back into Officer Friendly mode to interrogate Daryl (Norman Reedus). The last thing I want to sit through is another All-Out War with the Saviors, so I was rooting for the characters to do whatever they needed to do to defuse this situation. The threat of another All-Out War hung over the characters' heads as Rick and his companions had to work together to solve the case of the missing Saviors, who turn up as zombies sporting wounds that show they were murdered. Which also happens to be how much longer Alexandria community leader Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), the main person pushing the ideas of "peace with the Saviors" and "every life counts", is going to be on the show.Īs tired as I am of all this, I did find this to be a somewhat interesting episode, since it was a special murder mystery episode of The Walking Dead. I'd like to think Warning Signs was a big step toward wrapping up this storyline, but it's clear that the Saviors situation and the disagreements people have over how they should be dealt with is going to be milked for at least another episode or two. Circumstances with the Saviors have changed drastically by this point on the show, the remaining members of the formerly villainous group now have a tenuous alliance with the other communities, but three episodes into season 9 the tension between the Saviors and the others is still the primary focus. REVIEW: It's going to be such a relief once The Walking Dead can finally, completely move past the "war with the Saviors community" storyline and start focusing on other things. PLOT: Communities work together to solve the mystery of the missing and murdered Saviors.
