Michonne does not join the group until after Judith is born. (she appeared at the prison with infant formula that Maggie / Glenn couldn't get). She wouldn't have known Rick was not the father, because who would've told her that? And, why would she have asked?
Oh okay, if it was meant to be a big reveal for her and not the audience that makes a lot more sense.
The Tara episode. It wasn't terrible (but not great at all) and I like her character, but Jesus did she gain 25 lbs since last season? I thought she was supposed to be starving. I know the actress had a baby, but you'd think a producer would pull her aside and tell her the extra baggage and maternity tits don't quite make sense for the current story of her character. As for Oceanside, I was thinking it was some feminazi paradise, but the Saviors twist was decent. But a better one would have been that they are Saviors and Ricks group killed their husbands or something.
Watching her turn her nose up at the first fish instead of ravenously chomping on it was clearly because she hadn't been missing any meals. I think I blinked at the wrong time. When she was being escorted back to the bridge, did she take off running because she realized the two girls were just taking her out to the woods to kill her? That was filmed on Jekyll Island in Georgia - which is controlled by the State and has an interesting history of Rockefellers, Morgans, Vanderbilts, etc. - with the beach scene on Driftwood Beach. It sits in a location with wind, storm, current and erosion impacts that create these interesting driftwood collections. I haven't been there in a number of years, but I heard that hurricane Matthew recently wiped it all clean. (Fun fact: Georgia does not have any coastal beaches. All of the beach is on islands. Georgia's actual coast is just marsh.)
So, they killed two more characters that no one gave a shit about, and they're obviously gonna keep Eugene alive to manufacture ammo. That's it. The rest of the episode was filled with painfully slow dialogue and people eye fucking each other. It's like the writers can't come up with anything interesting to fill the gaps between major plot events so they're just stretching it out. I swear to God, if Negan is still alive at the end of the season and/or if there is another stupid cliffhanger, I'm done.
Hey, at least it wasn't a whole episode just featuring Olivia in her back story. Getting the cast back together is a step in the right direction. And, the way that Kirkman talked on Talking Dead makes it sound like there will be a lot of Rick and the Rickettes kicking a shit ton of ass in the next few episodes. I think, if I've got the sequences right, that Carol (and Morgan) do not know Glenn & Abraham are dead, right? It'll be interesting to see how that goes over.
Spoiler Pretty sure Jeff Morgan signed on for two seasons. You really think they could tie up the saviors in a satisfactory way in the remaining half season?
Spoilers for those who want to know - Spoiler If they follow the comics, Negan will be around for a quite a while, but his character and the dynamic changes and he becomes less insufferable. I hope they do an origin story flashback episode of him. He was originally a school gym teacher and used car salesman.
A little interesting how Morgan is taking it, but very interesting that Daryl didn't tell Carol. I like where Eugene's character is going, and the whole last episode was very rich, I thought. Then again, I may be the only one watching . . .
Nope, you're not the only one watching. Between this and It's Sunny they're the only two TV shows I actually look forward to seeing on a weekly basis. Better Call Saul needs to put out it's next season, it feels like it's been forever.
Better Call Saul starts April 10th. As far as TWD goes; I'm still watching, but really more because I feel like I need to see this through it's seemingly inevitable shitty conclusion more than I'm actually interested in the show at this point. It' the same perpetual arc over and over again, just with a different antagonist they have to overcome each time.
All everyone on this board does is basically bitch about this show but they all keep watching. I get watching it because you are invested in it, and hoping it will end so you don't have to keep up with it.
Well, season finale was okay. Do the garbage people remind anyone else of the McPoyles? How the hell did such a fucked up group exist before the apocalypse, and why can they just barely speak English? The ridiculousness totally takes me out of it.
Quit this show at the end of last season and haven't looked back. Glad some of you are still enjoying it.
It takes years and years to develop a new language. Teenage girls can develop their own sort of slang in one semester, but that this group of adults suddenly forgot to inject prepositions and basic sentence structure is silly. If they had developed some kind of hand signal code or a bunch of made up words that only they knew, it would make more sense. The "weapon" that Sasha end up using was pretty well done, I thought, so I liked that part. Who left the carved soldier, Dwight? And does it mean he "didn't know" about Jadis double crossing them?
The wooden figure was something Daryl noticed when in Dwight's room at the Sanctuary. Dwight left it to let Alexandria know that Negan didn't tell him about the attack or the double-cross from the garbage people.
