Have that 1 very side character that appears 3 sec on screen in the background, unrelated to the main story or characters and be like : yeah they deserve better, should’ve lived longer, they could’ve done that, imagine if …

Im one of them

Glenn tried to be a leader. It’s not quite that easy.

I guess the ghost lady was Lori but in the prior episode she felt like a southern ghost figure. Like I felt like the ghost wasn’t originally Lori but last minute decision changed who the ghost was supposed to be. I could be wrong.

The whole time I’m thinking the Governor was telling the truth to Andrea about not retaliating. Boy was I wrong. My anxiety was yo the entire time! I thought Hershel was gonna get hit! I’m VERY frustrated at the fact that NO ONE can aim with scoped weapons! When the truck bursts through the gate, I thought maybe it was Andrea coming to save someone or something… but was t expecting the zombie for sure!

I guess my whole rant about Axel went nowhere… I was still sad to see him go. If anything, Axel may have been the naive part of Rick so him being killed off may be a representation of gullibility being removed from the situation, meaning characters are gonna stop being silly and go to full on war now!

Someone kill this down with the stupid backwards hat already!!!!

Rick, time to go to war! Get to Wolfsburg and murder EVERYBODY! Leave nothing behind and no one! At this point, don’t trust anyone! Level the town, let whoever wants to go, go, but whoever stays gets beat up that’s it! Haha

Tabitha was the best. She should have made it to the end.

I’m really trying to understand if carol knows Rick is alive in Dixon or if Dixon takes place as Rick is at the crm. We know Rick and carol reunite but is that before she leaves to find Daryl or after they return and Daryl just isn’t there when Rick arrives?

My theory is carol knows but after finding Daryl she realizes he has a mission in Europe and she can’t tell him. She knows him too well and if she tells him he will drop everything and become reckless to return to Rick. And potentially get himself or others killed so she intentionally doesn’t tell him.

It 100% fits her character. She doesn’t always take the “moral” path. But tends to take the necessary path.

Like the prison flue outbreak with Karen and David, Lizzie after Mika, releasing Negan to get to alpha… the list goes on. I could absolutely see her character keeping Rick’s return from Daryl for his own good. Then when (not if) Daryl learns of Rick’s return it creates tension and drama between carol and Daryl. I think this works much better than a simple (boring) Rick is in the crm at the same time as carol and Daryl are in Europe.

I’ll keep this one short because I had to split this episode up too and don’t remember it too well, but wow Daryl… the homies went back for you and you just leave. Glenn had a point. I understand too that Daryl had his own demons to work through and choosing brotherhoods is something Daryl has to go through. Season 2 showed Daryl seeing a ghost of his brother, and it makes you wonder if those hallucinations have been playing Daryl in silence every night even after his search for Sofia. I think it’s important for this plot line to be resolved and Daryl to decide what kind of person he wants to be.

Andrea is bothering me, but I understand she’s romanticizing the idea of freedom, but freedom comes at a cost and Andrea has to realize one of the hardest lessons… that freedom and belonging sometimes can’t coexist. She did have a nice little speech for the people though in the town and I’m happy for her learning benevolent leadership skills. Once again, my theory that Andrea is being prepped as the female alpha. She’s learning leadership skills. I was upset she didn’t shoot that poor dude out in the street, Richard while he was suffering after getting bit, but then I realized… yeah shooting him out in the street in front of everyone like that may have not been good for the psyche or moral of the people. Governor is tapping into these people’s dark side but Andrea’s retaining perseverance.

I’m sure they’ll address it in the future but Oscar getting killed the way he did, I’m sure hurt Axel… Axel probably feels so alone and like an outsider. His friend and safety blankets are gone. The dude is balancing so much in his head and now he’s alone dealing with strangers he knows are gonna stare at him with one eye open and not fully accept him as Oscar did. I feel SO bad for this poor man and I hope he gets a fair shot to some degree… and I hope he doesn’t sacrifice himself or die by suicide or grief. I’m rooting for Axel.

Carol… awe…

Glenn, I get his rage and his distance from Maggie right now… I can’t sone it up logically in words but I understand why he’s upset just can’t quite explain…

I see Allen and Ben were talking about jumping Beth and Axel… you are as strong as your weakest link so I don’t know, maybe these two characters need a little training so they don’t get overrun like Ben and Allen almost did

Being a leader has so much responsibility and Rick is learning about it from both Glenn’s rage, Carol’s heartbreak, and Daryl leaving. Rick needs to start calming down and understanding the needs of the followers is not just about protecting them. He did a great job when Carl talked about naming the baby Judith but Rick is like a father to everyone in the group now and needs to develop more skills to accommodate everyone’s weak spots mentally, spiritually and emotionally.

Not sure why Rick freaked out when the baby started crying…

Lastly… what’s up with the ghost black lady wearing the white dress…? That terrified me. I’m listening to the show with enhanced sound and I swear it felt like a demon entered my room from watching that scene.

Also… who was staring at Carol with the binoculars like 7 episodes ago…? Did they just drop that plot or does it get ever get explained…?

Finally finished that part, and it felt to me like they really screwed it up writing-wise. Like they were rehashing the previous season villain just for the sake of it? He should've died in S3 and they could've moved on with a herd breaking down the barriers and forcing them to move.

Ended with killing Herschel as well, for no good reason. Maybe it was hard to them to write the escape from prison with Herschel's leg?

Impression is that they wasted the first part of the season to build up a conflict once again only to resolve it in one episode? I don't know. Just don't like it at all.

I never noticed the link between ricks prayer in the church and what followed:

At the end of Rick’s “prayer” (I think you could call it a prayer) he says:

He needs something “to help keep us going”

And

“Look, I don’t need all the answers. Just a little nudge, a sign!… any sign will do.”

Then Karl sees the dear and gets shot.. this doesn’t seem like something beautiful at first but it leads to Karl “talking about the dear” when he wakes.. and ultimately leads to a very important perspective for Rick; A conclusion of hope for his son, unborn child, and everyone’s future; That happiness and beauty can still be found and appreciated in such a dark world. Especially by people who are born/raised in it.

What an amazing show.

Sadly this episode got interrupted for me cause too much going on and I had to split this episode. I don’t remember too much of the first half but II did enjoy the shootout scene. That was amazing. Sounded great on the soundbar but I couldn’t fully blast the volume cause I was I competition of the person next door blasting their music but I enjoyed it as much as I could…

Rick and Michonne have interesting chemistry together. I’m wondering if she is going to join the group or just disappear on her own… sadly I could see her as a one off season character, but because I was spoiled about her in future show(s) and episodes I know she sticks around a bit, but if I wasn’t aware of that, I would think that she would defect from the show.

I love how the main villain and the main hero’s second in commands are brothers. Very poetic.

New characters coming out of nowhere… I have a feeling Sasha and Tyrese, are gonna be cool. We need more black people. Rick left the prison for 10 minutes and is gonna come home to a litter of mouths to feed. I can’t wait to see his reaction.

Also I didn’t expect Michonne to takeout Penny like that. But dang… having the governor breakdown the way he did really does close in both his and Rick’s worlds in a psychological sense, and I think sanity was what separated their worlds. Now that the Governor lost his, he invites Rick in and at this point it’s going to be a descending battle.

The fight Michonne VS Phillip- brutal. I loved it. I forgot I’ve seen images of the guy with the eyepatch and I figured it was the governor but now I see what happened… wow was it intense. Writers did a great job destroying this man’s world.

Hopefully Michonne does realize something about revenge and destroying a person’s life. The conflict between these two characters I feel are stability VS instability and I feel like Michonne sees stability as a threat to survival. Destroying Governor’s stable mental walls shows how she struggles herself b stability and being a protector.

PS… I forgot to mention… it was cool seeing Shane again in this episode.

Also, it was Heartbreaking REALLY, to see Andrea and Michonne face-to-face holding weapons at each other. They’re sacrificing something in their own heart for the sake of being loyal to the wrong things… I hope they find their way back to each other. Love conquers all… as I tear up lol.

You'd think this would've been important to bring up

Finally got back to it! So much has been going on with my personal life and I’ve just been having some difficulties finding time to continue watching.

Watching The Evil Dead Burn and obsession and season 3 of this show, it’s almost as if fate led me to this particular theme of “abuse”, imprisonment, free will, and freedom. These movies of Obsession and Evil Dead Burn gave me some insight on how sometimes getting abused at point does hold some responsibility, it’s not always just the abuser, especially when given a choice. Season 3 of The Walking Dead so far is helping me see that I do have a choice… something I guess I never knew I had, it was just me trying to survive.

I see The Governor’s psychological tactics, giving people a false sense of Control and choice in the moment, but secretly controlling the narrative and by the end, getting what he wants, making other characters think it was their choice to begin with. This man is a virus, more dangerous than any zombie, and the way he handled Maggie during the investigation really brought up so deeper psychological traumatic roots for me. By the end, he knew her Fire, knew her weakness, broke her down, got the information he wanted out of her to find the prison. That level of pressure to cause a person to betray themselves to the point they give up all they stand for and love… this season is heavy on the theme of “choices” and I know it’s not a coincidence fate led me to this season at this particular time. I’m making a choice and I don’t want stay here in a place that offers freedom but punishes me for acting on it. This show is truly a blessing for me and if God does exist then I thank it for lining this up for me.

Other than that.. Glenn is tough… love that he hung in there.

Merle, one of my favorite characters but he’s being too petty holding onto the past. I feel like the showrunner from season 1 would’ve given Merle a redemption arc but this new director and writer of this particular episode just villainized the HECK outta Merle to where he seems irredeemable especially after what he did to Glenn and sent a zombie after him in the interrogation room. I love Merle, but I don’t think the crew is accepting him back in.

Andrea… it’s about time
She gets her stuff together. She needs to get on the ball already and off the D cause this Governor dude is playing off her weakness. Freedom is what Andrea wants it seems but romanticizing it is blinding her bad, and she needs to realize freedom is in the people you love not in the escape from them.

I wondered why Andrea didn’t bring up the CDC situation to Milton about the brain transformation but then I remember that the CDC episode of season 1 was never in the comic. It was a TV only side story so they probably didn’t want that to interfere too much in Milton’s character development.

Anyway, the song that played when Rick and the gang sneak to the Governor’s place, amazing by Bear McCreary. I believe the song is called “When the Dead Come Knocking” or “The Pulse”… the title is one of those two, if anyone was interested. Anyway can’t wait for the next one.

So, i was in Five Below on Bendy and i was browsing the five dollars and below section. I found a whistle that was for the walking dead merch and i blow into it, 75% of the time its negan yelling about Walkers and what not. Other 25% its Glemm getting his head squached or dying or his yells when he alerts all the Walkers in Season 2 Episode 6 at 32 minutes and 53 seconds with the car alarm. I play with this whistle a lot in the stoire. Makes me feel like a child again. So i buy it and some of those purple popcorn chips theyre always really trying to push on you.. When i step outside i notice theres a piece inside of it like a metal peace and it looks like more electric than most of those beeping things when you steal. I think what is this and cant get it off. A guy in a low effort negan Cosplay followed me from South Boulevard to Magnolia St and th whole time hes swinging a plastic bat. checking his phone and humming, Talked to the police when i relaize that my house was broken into twice and my familys boat where my dad keeps his beer was turned over. All the beer was either gone broken or missing. and the police said Yeah you guessed it. Surprisingly Enough there was a tracker inside of the whistle. The guy custom made it. It was confiscated because he left two weird thumbprints on a rubber ball that bounces by the sour pickle gummies. The fingomoid prints on the tracking device matched the ones on the ball. He was arrested and it was documented you can see it on Explore with us #353 at 27 minutes and 42 seconds. I reccomend watching it while you eat in the mall food court cuz thats what me and my friends did when we went to Santa in July

Pick the coolest and most badass moment in your opinion. What is Michonne’s toughest, most impressive scene?

Top comment wins!

before I start, yes I am aware twd isn't realistic or whatever have you

however, watching that tiny ass plane fly from America to France with only (seemingly) one stop is completely unrealistic ain't it?

and sailing from England to the US on a tiny ass boat? yes it's possible in the real word but 2 people who have never sailed And some British tweaker...?

anyways, that's just my rant continue with your day

I love this character, I think she's the most successful of the entire show. This scene was amazing bro. I loved negan who looks at the scene helpless as if to say "she is the boss, she is a badass, we can't do anything about it". Love Maggie 🫵❤️

Didn’t realize recently how much TWD influenced a lot of the running jokes, or even random bits that are in Z Nation.

Understand this might miss since it’s TWD Reddit, but comment any of z nation parody moments that come from TWD that you’ve noticed.

(If you haven’t seen it, I recommend it. Great for a good amount of seasons and then goes on a weird path but still a good watch)

when i found out tyreese and that girl were siblings!! this whole time i though they were a cute couple until one of the guys from woodbury mentioned its his sister 😆😆

I get it's his wife but come on she was right there, plus his son would be alive aswell and he wouldn't be all "Clear" mode and shit.

Remember when Carol killed Lizzie, or Michonne killed those kids?

I wanna know what you think the absolute darkest possible thing you can do if you decide such actions are necessary.

Obviously season 2 is already considered good but IMO it is one of the best seasons of TWD ever. The story telling, character development, and pacing of the season is done so well. It captures how everyone is facing the reality and adjusting to the apocalypse. Shane's descend into darkness and obsession with lori is written and captured so well. The Rick, Lori, Shane dynamic is unmatched. Hershels realization of what the world has come to and facing the truth. Dale trying to hold onto Humanity. And so so many good character arcs. It feels like the most realistic season of any post-apocalyptic show I've ever seen
