So, last week, The
Walking Dead season 9 started with a mostly forgettable episode with the
exception of the climax.
SPOILER ALERT:
After seasons of taunting and condescending talk, Gregory
tries to kill Maggie, who’s become the de facto leader of the Hilltop
community. She has him executed as a
punishment as well as a deterrent for anyone else thinking of pulling a like
stunt.
I’m not saying Gregory didn’t deserve his hanging, but the
end of last season saw Maggie pissed Rick let Negan live after the
Savior/communities war even though he killed Glenn and Abraham, and she was
plotting against Rick with Jesus and Darryl, setting up a revenge plot.
In my experience, revenge backfires, because that level of
anger blinds judgement…people get sloppy…or, they go so left with their
vengeance, they can’t find their way back.
I’ve heard this scenario be brought up that she could become a “Governess”
of sorts.
Revenge’s a slippery slope.
It’ll be interesting to see what happens…if they don’t slip
into soap opera territory.
Be good to each other.
