CDB treated him like crap, calling him coward because he couldn't fight and was often afraid to try (not everyone can be a warrior). They never honestly appreciated the knowledge and skills he did have, which are considerable. He gets to the sanctuary and from day one they know he has useful skills, he's given status, and treated with respect. I don't blame him one bit if he decides to stick with the Sanctuary.
I don't think I can buy that. They treated him like a coward because he lied to them and put them in danger by trying to get them up to D.C. Because that's cowardly. And I don't even know that all of them treated him like a coward; it was mostly Abraham and Rosita that were super salty to him. Understandable, because they were with him the longest. For the most part, they just let him be, shaking their head at his Eugene-isms, living their lives and still protected him when need-be. When Eugene decided he wanted to step up, give advice, show them he could do stuff, they were always appreciative (if a little wary, because of the, you know, lying). Let me know if I'm misremembering.

I do agree the writing was better on BB then WD. It makes no sense, why the hell in a world with guns (we see most groups have them) is the douche bag with the bat king?
Catch-22 with the adaptation. The bat is so iconic; there's no way they could bring Negan in without it. However, it wasn't so eye rolling in the comic because
Spoilerthey'd run out of ammo at this point.

If I'm not mistaken, technically they weren't invited in, they barged in & Deanna allowed them to stay. Rick was an asshole in Alexandria from day one, which is why I don't blame Spencer at all for how much he hates Rick. I love that he always says exactly what I'm thinking about Rick.
Nah. Aaron asked them to come and meet Deanna, they did, Deanna interviewed them, Rick all but told her they shouldn't let them in, she bragged about being able to read people and made him and Michonne constables the next day.

That's only true for some of the actors. The main characters would get paid whether or not they're in an episode. So AL gets paid the same amount whether he's in 16 episodes or only 3. Same with most of the people whose names appear first in the credits (NR, DG, MMB, etc).
Yeah, no WAY are they getting away with paying the star of the show for only two episodes.

Both NR and MMB get asked about Carol and Daryl getting together all the time - do you also believe that they're going to be a couple? ;)
And I don't think MightySparrow will have to pry Carol's tentacles from Morgan - I've seen nothing to indicate that she has any feelings for him other than irritation, and maybe a small grain of respect, now that he seems to be giving up his "all life is precious" delusions. There's too much water under that bridge for Carol to find Morgan sexually attractive, IMO.
I don't...but if they did, I don't think it would make the most sense to say it came out of nowhere if it's the top question the actors get. :-)
I could see Morgan maybe carrying something for Carol (I mean, he did break his no murder rule for her), but Carol for him? No way.

I never saw any chemistry between Rick and Michonne up until 10 seconds before they started kissing. I know that the party line is that Gimple was planning the relationship since season 3, but what else is he going to say? A lot of people thought that Rick and Michonne came out of the blue, especially since it happened one episode after Rick had been fawning over the woman he had been crazy about since he arrived in Alexandria. So Gimple isn't going to say, 'yeah, I pulled it out of my ass to distract from the complete disaster Jessie/Rick became'.
Well...chemistry is certainly subjective, so I don't doubt that you didn't see it. However, many people saw it beginning at the end of season 3, including me. So much so that the question about the characters' relationship potential began popping up during Q&A panels right after that and continued through the relationship becoming canon. Both Andrew and Danai have said multiple times that it was among the top questions anyone would ask them when they saw them out and about. Then when you add in the fact that many of the episodes where people point to seeing an especially strong connection between Rick and Michonne were written by Gimple, a lot of people also thought that Jessie came out of the blue, Jessie's character died in the exact same timeframe and the exact same manner as her comic counterpart, the showrunner and writers start outlining the next season so far in advance (like, around the beginning of the year) that they wouldn't have time to see how people responded to Rick and Jessie before they started outlining and writing season 6 and by the time we saw Rick and Jessie finally kiss in the garage, they'd already completed filming the season and it seems more and more likely that Gimple was just telling the truth when he said that. Now, was it executed well? Also up for debate, but I didn't particularly enjoy the execution of the Jessie piece, and while it was clear to me that some significant time had passed in-universe, though it had only been one episode between Jessie dying and Rick and Michonne, it's understandable that others would think it's jarring. I think pacing is a TWD problem in general, though. The mid-season premiere would have worked much better as the finale and then we could come back to "The Next World" with exactly the same amount of time passing for us as it did for the characters, but that's a discussion for another time.

Has Rick EVER asked Michonne how she was doing or how she was feeling?
Is this a real question because yes, he has. Off the top of my head he asked her if she was ok after he completely did a 180 and decided they would go to Alexandria (because she wanted to).
Also, "Are you OK?" from the season 4 finale. Also, asking her how she felt about Alexandria that night when they were both up. Also, noticing she was upset when they were at Noah's place and telling her they'd figure it out. Also, asking her how she felt about the plan to kill the Saviors. Also, asking her what was wrong after they executed the Saviors plan after noticing that she had a look. Also, asking her about her missing sword (which was meant to be a probing "what are you thinking" question).

Does anyone in here want to in-depth break down Rick and Michonne pre-knowing each other and the Governor interactions. It would be interesting now that they have been through so much together and are now together-together. It might be going too far back for some and others probably wont care for the analysis since their minds are already made up.
You know I'm ready for it!

This whole post was so beautiful. I'm sitting here squee-ing like it makes some damn sense - and it doesn't. But to this point, I think Rick has a lot of insecurities about not being "man enough". I think he believes that Lori preferred Shane because Shane was more "butch" and made her feel safe. Indeed this was the very reason Shane gave for wanting to kill him - he wasn't man enough to protect Lori and Carl. It is the way he feels about himself but it is not how others see him. Those who remember the butchness of Shane remember that it was Rick who took him out. It is Rick who has taken out the bulk of the baddies they've encountered. But as you said, it isn't this that attracts Michonne, it is WHY he takes out the bad guys with such ferocity - love for his kids, love for his friends, love in general. Underneath uncertainty, bipolarity, and full cray, Rick's moral core is solid and he is a quintessential good man. This is why Michonne is not giving up on him - even when he errs he does so on the side of love.
Also, this scene reaffirmed something I noted a while ago about why Michonne is so good for Rick. Nobody else ever, I mean EVER, gives him comfort. I think the group either loves or respects him, but on a level they don't admit to, they fear him too. What he is capable of (what they've seen him do) seems to always be in the back of their minds. They've seen him break too but they still keep a distance from him. They don't hug him or pat him on the shoulder. When he is uncertain, they give him space to sort it out. ONLY Michonne, before and after their coupledom, walks straight up to Rick and deals with how he FEELS. Right now, Rick is scared. He is so sad. He is unsure about what to do next. He is unsure he can win in the end. Michonne understands all of that. She disagrees with his plan of action but she feels all those things as well. But the cincher was when he leaned in for the saddest and driest of cheek kisses - he was unsure about her too, about THEM. So my girl let him know, that was one uncertainty he didn't have to carry around. She's all in and he can die knowing he is loved.
Sigh... First of all, I can't. Posts like this...I feel like they punch me right in the gut. In a good way. Second, in my side hustle, I've been gushing about these two for awhile and mostly it deals with how happy I am for these characters that they are with people who understand them at their core so well, and care for the other so deeply. He's hurting, she knows, and she's saving him.
Side note, I don't know if I ever thought Eugene was cute, but I've been here for Josh McDermitt for awhile. Initially, I was on the end when we started taking these selfies, then I was like, "Wait! I need to be closer!"

Here's my question-how did they get Glenn and Abraham's bodies there? Maggie who was physically distressed to the point that she could barely stand or walk was able to carry Glenn's body? Or did Sasha help Maggie and also carry two bodies? Yes, I accept a lot in a show about Zombies, but I just couldn't figure out anyway that the writers thought this made sense.
The Saviors left a truck for them to use. Presumably, Maggie and Sasha took the truck because Rick was driving the RV at the end of the premiere.

This is the first ep of the season I watched and only because it was Negan free.
Three things that struck me relationship wise:
1 - Obviously Rick and Michonne have been at odds. They still slept in the same bed but it was back turned. Michonne making the hesitant cheek peck into a real kiss and Rick's quiet 'Thank You' really hit me in the feels. Because Michonne is signalling that she is still with him and he accepting it, has to mean a lot for a man who right now is probably feeling all sorts of emasculated.
The forehead touch and the "thank you" and the way they were looking at each other killed me. Like, what the heck?!? It took my breath away. That never happens to me when I'm watching TV.

I was, plainly, moved by Rick and Michonne's conversations in this week's episode, especially the last. I can buy that she didn't know about Shane. The people she was closest to before the prison fell were Rick, Carl and Daryl, none of whom are notorious talkers.
Rick making them a pallet bed touched me and basically set me up for some feels. I felt his vulnerability in waves as he told her about his friend and partner and his wife. I mean, those are basically all of the spaces that she currently occupies in his head, heart and life. He needed her to understand where he was coming from, but even more than that, he trusted her with this deep hurt. That sigh that he let out when he verbalized that Judith wasn’t his spoke the loudest. In a way, it almost mirrored the conversation they had when they decided to go to DC. Michonne needed it them (him) to try for her and, though he wasn’t totally on board, he did it because it’s what she needed. And the same applies to her decision to try for him.
Yo, I can’t with them. It’s literally so beautiful to me and the fact that Andy and Danai are all in when it comes to those scenes is so palpable.

Before I got Lucilled into a coma of boredom, I did note this and wonder if it's supposed to have significance?
What part of the picture? The walker hands or the angel in general? When that lady walkied that Gordon ran away, she said that it could either be the angel way, the moth(?) way or some other way, which seems to be code for the different ways you can get into the Sanctuary. I assumed the statue was in the foreground to show us that he went the angel way. If that's what you meant.

WTH? Why is next week 1.1/2 hours long? If it's a mid season finale after FOUR episodes then I'm done...omg
Last season's episode 4 was also 90 minutes. Maybe they're starting a trend.

I think the person who annoys me the most (yeah, I know she's a fan favorite) is Michonne, simply because she is perfect. All the time. She never says or does a wrong thing or makes a mistake. She never even raises her voice.
I thought Michonne was fairly full of herself at the end of season 6 and made all sorts of tactical mistakes. Nothing as egregious as getting someone's head bashed in, but she's my favorite character and I was rolling my eyes at her a lot.

When we first got married, it was hard to deal with my husband after he lost an employee softball game. "Two of my warriors are demolished and I almost cut our kid's arm off" is not a level of failure I'd want to handle.
@Peach, my shipper heart smiled when you referred to Carl as Rick and Michonne's. I'm assuming that's how you meant it. If not, don't tell me.

Ah, yes. My favorite thread. So, are we seeing the beginning of a relationship with Carol and Ezekiel? Carol's little smile was pretty telling. Sorry 'bout ya, Tobin!

I guess all these groups will join to resist Negan at some point, once Rick suffers the required amount of Indecisive Rick Angst. Michonne really has her work cut out for her.
Yeah, I feel bad for her (fictional self). Like, this is what you have to deal with at the very beginning of your relationship? Ugh.

S05.E07: Wine Dark Sea
in Prison Break (2017) [V]
I thought the Sucre/Michael reunion held more punch than the Sara/Michael one. However, I loved Michael breaking down in tears as soon as he saw Sara.
I'm still flabbergasted that Mahone isn't a part of this. All through the previews for next week, I was like, "This looks like a job for Mahone. Is this how they're gonna slide Mahone back in? MAHONE!" I know Fichtner probably isn't into this anymore, but c'mon man.
