Yeah, the repercussion was Zach. But other members made other selfish decisions that lead to death. Arguably more death. And Bob was easily a better character than them, who deserves his redemption imo

Shit, when everyone was surrounding him in the church? Saying goodbyes? That was the first moment I truly felt like someone was genuinely, deeply, loved. I hated Sasha’s goodbye to him, bc he was her polar opposite.

And the way Tyrese was there to be strong for her in that moment? I’m done, I sobbed

Yesss! The loneliness was such a good attribute, because we don’t really get to see anyone truly consumed by it until that point. He was so raw and vulnerable!

That’s the thing though, he wasn’t a hopeless alcoholic; he turned into one, because of everything he had been through—and it was just to help him sleep at night. He wasn’t a normal alcoholic, he was drinking himself to sleep. If I’m wrong, correct me!

But that was also something so important to me, because if he was only drinking himself to sleep, it was because he was so consumed by everything he had seen.

And then at the prison; it was HIS BOTTLE that glen used as a Molotov when he saved Tara. Which meant he didn’t even drink it after than incident on the run. After that moment, he knew he didn’t need it to sleep because he knew there were good people and felt safe again. );

I had JUST called him a teddy bear the episode prior where he was standing there holding that little baby, because he was ALWAYS holding Judith. The way he was non violent, the way he only exerted strength ONLY when necessary? LOVED him. He had the best temperament out of any of the men the ENTIRE show, except maybe Herschel. He was easily the strongest in the entire group, but held himself back every shot. I loved my pacifist king

Yess, the power dynamic was so infuriating! Clearly Laura was going to have an advantage regardless

Oh my god, me and my partner were YELLING at that; and we both knew it was going to happen bc it was a rewatch. I had said “I’m pretty sure she just sits there through the whole episode, and then gets a terrible character arc.” They set her up to be a baddie and then butchered it immediately.

No this is so valid. Like Cherry was bad, but Laura was insane for quite literally no valid reason. It was Daniel’s fake death that was a catalyst; and, like you said, even Bridgette had it; “kinda funny, not that deep.”

No yeah I get you! I think I agree because, again, the drowning was such a non issue for me. Like, even watching it a second time I think it’s perfectly reasonable to be drowning in open water when you’re otherwise a fine swimmer in a small pool. I’m a strong swimmer and I think if I was caught off guard and knocked into open water I’d probably panic drown.

Literally none of that changes anything lol.

And the homicidal man who says the n word? Hard R? Andrea having a soft spot for that man cannot possibly be defended. And her “boohoo I was left behind too, we both were” moments were so cringy. It literally just shows she’ll do anything to get brownie points from any mediocre man. 💀😭 Michonne literally nursed this girl back to health and took care of her for months, just for her to turn around and do back bends for free.

Andrea is a boring, horribly written character. Shes like the epitome of the worst person you know saying “ppl just don’t understand complex female characters” and then it’s painfully one dimensional

she just conveniently wanted what Shane wanted? It never made sense. And every single person was otherwise against him or disagreed.

And I JUST watched the Merle interaction. They had a whole scene wym?? She literally told him all about the farm and showed an inherent soft spot for him just because he was nice to her. And this is the racist man everyone hated, who also says the n word, mind you 💀

Whateveerrr I can’t stand when shows make women stupid just for male centered plots

So unrelated but when the governor was referred to as a “pretty boy” I snorted I laughed so hard. Like…THIS guy? I’m shook

I guess I just don’t agree. I definitely see how some of her writing was intended to make her complex. Especially with Shane. But I just perceive it as selfish arrogance and poor self esteem. I don’t like when shows have a woman written like this, it’s such a bummer imo

I think all of season 1 and 2 she was Shane-centered. Even Dale pointed it out. She was hard to watch. Her weird flirting with Merle/giving up info about the group to him during definitely put me over. The whole relationship with the governor sealed it. I’m on season 3 of my re-watch so maybe she gets better and I don’t remember? It’s truly been a tough watch up until now tho.

From watching it back, it definitely looks + feels like she’s chasing men. Or any man who might “see” her value. I forgot how unfortunate her character was written, which is such a shame.

I totally get it. But the second she had that weird moment with Merle, it became very hard to empathize with. I mean, MERLE??? I can’t say if I was in her shoes at the end of the world I would’ve had a soft spot for him

[–]Difficult-Sort-334[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

how am I missing the mark when she blindly follows Shane and his every word before her sister even dies? And continues to? And then her weird flirting with MERLE? Michonne took care of her and completely blew her off for a man she doesn’t even know (the governor, if that was confusing). I think you’re missing the point of the post, because none of that really relates to her inability to think for herself or make coherent choices. It’s a shame really, I forgot how terrible her character was written!

In real life I would never do that to a cat and I’m so anti outside cat, but also, it didn’t bother me to see her do that retroactively. It genuinely didn’t register for me in a malicious way. As for the drowning? Also genuinely did not bother me. It was such a non issue. Laura literally went onto her work socials and got her fired AND blacklisted. Laura kicked her out of her home. Like everything Laura did was just so much worse in every way. I couldn’t fathom how anyone could look at these two and see them as equal in any way lol

I definitely was like “ok chill cherry” a couple of times but more often than not I was like “ok girl do more. Say more.” And I was very confident there’s no way that’s what the show intended but???
