I start season 9 knowing Andrew Lincoln is leaving the show and dreading the fact that Rick Grimes will no longer be leading that old gang of mine. I’m hoping he doesn’t die and just goes away so that he might return one day. That being said, this season opener was excellent! It was action […]

If anyone was wondering what happened to troy from Reality Bites (1994) this film is as close to an answer as you’ll get.
