Didn't see a thread for this, which seems unusual!
Only a couple of episodes in but the latter half of season 9 went a long way to bringing me back on board and I have to say TWD has gone from something I was finding a bit of a slog to something I actively enjoy putting on again.
It did make the mistake that the show seems to make quite often though, coming back after a break and starting with a bit of momentum and then hobbling itself a little by immediately making episode 2 a flashback episode. It didn't bother me personally but seeing as a common complaint is that long stretches go by without the story progressing it always surprises me to see them playing for time a little so early in a season.
Saying that I did enjoy episode 2, and it had some good Alpha/Beta stuff. So I'm currently more enthusiastic for the show than I have been in a long time, hopefully that continues!
