The Walking Dead: 15 Most Shocking Moments
1. The Pike Death (Season 9)
The post-Rick era of Walking Dead was going to be a struggle.
The Whisperers already proved their mettle by killing Jesus, and scenes with Alpha and her daughter Lydia (Cassady McClincy) showed how monstrous of a person she was, even from the get go.
However, during a fair in which all of the communities come together and celebrate, exchange goods, and they even have a movie to watch. However, there has been division among the communities since Rick's death, and this allowed the Whisperers, including Alpha, to infiltrate and kidnap members.
It transpires that all of the people kidnapped had been decapitated, and their heads placed on pikes. No villain previously had done this much damage to the communities, and to this scale. The victims included background characters like Rodney (Joe Ando Hirsh), characters we just met like Ozzy (Angus Sampson), as well as characters who had been with us for a long time like Tara (Alanna Masterson), and arguably the most shocking, Henry (Matt Lintz).
Siddiq was kidnapped, but spared so he could tell the other survivors what had happened, but instead, he details how they all fought back, but he himself was left stricken with PTSD. His speech of what happened is what really hits home.
