The Walking Dead Season 9: 6 Ups & 1 Down From 'Stradivarius'

2. Aaron & Jesus' Budding Relationship

There was uproar last week after the six-year time-jump resulted in one of the oddest pairings not only in the show, but in television history. Rosita and Gabriel have barely interacted in the past, and the time-jump has made it impossible for us to believe that these two would've ever looked at each other as anything more than friends - although they were never really that either.

Stradivarius gives us the beginnings of another interesting pairing, only this time it's one that is entirely believable. Jesus and Aaron are shown fighting in the middle of the woods, and we soon learn that Jesus is training his one-handed associate. While a romance isn't explicitly stated, it's hard to ignore the chemistry between the two characters, and given that they're both single gay men, it's perhaps inevitable that they'll be paired together. What's more, the two characters do get together in the comic books, and since the latest seasons of The Walking Dead been rather faithful to the source material, its likely we'll be seeing Jesus and Aaron as a couple soon enough.

There's an interesting dynamic between the two characters, and the fact that their interactions have been forbidden due to the animosity between their respective groups gives this relationship something of a star-crossed lovers vibe, which makes it even more exciting. This is one relationship that viewers can - and undoubtedly will - get behind.
