Daltrey

It could have been a speculative article but I have a vague memory of him saying as much when asked if he would be reprising his role. This announcement has been a bit surreal for me, lol. I only decided to finish watching the season the day before and was in the middle of bingeing* when I decided to check the status because I was enjoying the Ben/Hannah dynamic so much. I was a tad shocked and dismayed to see the news was only 2 hours old!🫤🤷🏻‍♂️😆 The ending was only so/so and it was never must see tv but I enjoyed it enough that I probably would've checked out a third season. The cast was mostly good, hopefully they end up on better shows.

It may have been amusing but it made zero sense. This took place in 1970, A Christmas Story didn't come out until 1983. Ben is the only one who could have logically made that reference and given his propensity for not being discrete, I'm a little surprised they didn't have him say it. Either way, it's bad writing and took me right out of the show. As for Hannah, Ben, Egypt and did they or didn't they, I just watched these two back to back and my impression is no. Hannah made a move to indicate she wanted to but Ben shut her down, saying something to the effect of he didn't think it was a good idea. If I missed something more subtle and I'm proven wrong, so be it but I don't think they did.

Her hair's not gray, whattaya talkin' about?! 😜

I'm playing catch-up. I just watched this episode and came to see if anyone mentioned it. I didn't expect it to be right in the top post😆 I can't decide if Addison's new guy is sketchy or not, lol, guess I'll have to wait and see.

It wasn't me!....🤔was it? 😆 It happened, as I surmised last week, the only way it could, with something of a time jump and some exposition, albeit in somewhat of a unique, intercut fashion. Terry O'Quinn makes everything better. Rick proves he's more Glenn than Glenn by not only surviving a dumpster made of walkers but also blowing said walker dumpster up while still inside and walking away without a scratch. Why leave the prosthetic behind? I guess it's supposed to symbolize his rejection of echelon and the CRM and maybe that he's going home to a peaceful life but c'mon! Who's he kidding besides himself?! There's always going to be something or someone and that thing can do some serious damage...though I suppose the stump would start to hurt after Balboa-ing enough dudes to death. That's about it, for now....I need to get some sleep, lol. I will say, in spite of my expectations, I did get a little joyfully choked up at the reunion. The character callbacks throughout were a nice touch, to.

I half expected her to say that too. I also had to wrack my brain a little bit to remember her and Gabriel were a thing. How bad was the chemistry that everyone seems to have forgotten?🤣

Assuming they even have any knowledge of the Commonwealth existing, would any of them be aware of that? Jadis, Rick and Michonne all left Alexandria long before those events took place, if I'm not mistaken. It's hard sometimes to reconcile what we as an audience knows versus what the characters know, lol.

I really got the overwhelming sense that we were supposed to sympathize with and have empathy for Jadis.... 😶 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Etc, etc. Whatever. Overall, the stupidity was kept to a bare minimum, I thought, though that's really not saying much. The usual suspects have already pointed out anything I noticed so, no point in rehashing any of that. I don't normally watch the previews or episode recaps but I took a second look at the potential burial site and then skipped ahead to the recap. I couldn't help but eyeroll at Gimple waxing poetic about it all as if they achieved Shakespearian grandiosity (listen to me!... When in Rome, I guess😆) Pollyanna seems like a cool person but it was kind of funny to hear her talk about what an awesome character Jadis was... I guess she was a lot of fun for her to play, with how ridiculous she was and convoluted she became. The only way I see this ending in one more episode is if they open next week with some kind of events montage and/or some exposition voiceover facilitating a mini time jump - nothing drastic, don't come at me!😜 - something that gets us into the thick of it. Unfortunately, that's not something this universe seems able to easily do and for all the complaining I do, I find myself enjoying it enough that I wouldn't mind if they kept it going at least a little longer. Maybe a second season, anyway.

Hard disagree, I think it's hilarious. The Riverdale parody is killing me!🤣🤣🤣🤣

@iMonrey, my initial thought was to to give you an "applause" but ultimately I had to go with the laugh. Both are deserved. 🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Same, but you know, dollars to donuts...👀😒...those folks are out there, somewhere...perhaps even here, lurking in secret, on this very board...😏😜 Yeah, this is what I meant by her being Gimpled by the Gimpleness of it all. The dialogue was great, very poignant and passionate for both characters and as much as I complain and poke fun at Rick losing his "balls", it does make sense that he'd have a bit of Stockholm syndrome by now. In real life I'm sure that's not easy or quick to break but in reel life it seemed to take forever. Just reuniting with Michonne felt like it should've been enough to start to snap him out of it. Learning about RJ should've been enough to fully break him...or unbreak him, as it were. The overarching plot was just more Scott Gimple Swiss cheese. Not plot related but one inconsistency I noticed that nobody has mentioned...correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it established that one of the greatest walker attractants is noise? If so, shouldn't the zombies have been drawn towards the building across the way when the CRM showed up in a second helicopter and blew up the evidence of the crashed helicopter? I mean, you know, instead of waiting for the shockwave reverberations to knock out the glass doors so they could conveniently attack our plucky heroes? Fuckin' Gimple.🙄 😆😜

"What would Carl say if he were here?" What happened to your balls, old man?!, probably. 😏 I'm kinda with @OoohMaggie on this one. The acting was fairly superb and Danai's script was great -never knew she was a writer til now- but Rick's excuse seemed hollow and stupid. I can't help but think she was Gimpled by the Gimpleness of it all. How the guy responsible for the worst seasons of the mothership got to be overlord of the entire universe is one of life's great mysteries that I can't foresee ever being solved. 🤔... To be clear, I didn't hate it, I rather enjoyed it, for the most part; there were just a lot of eyeroll worthy moments of stupidity.

🤣... I almost mentioned that as an established precedent for sure death, lol!😂😂😄😄😄😃😏

Yes! This, exactly!🤦🏻‍♂️ Well, let me tell you why...because Scott Gimple's an idiot who emasculated Rick so he could see himself on tv and he needed to have Michonne perform the totally realistic, easily survivable act of throwing the two of them out of a helicopter flying god knows how many miles high up, in the middle of nowhere during a thunder storm in the dead of night.🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 Up until then, I pretty much enjoyed it.

Wailers...🙄really?!🤦🏻‍♂️ Michonne: when I find Rick, you're all coming back to live with us. Me: they're all walker chum. Husband: I'll get you some food; you need to eat. Me: she's pregnant Michonne: you're pregnant. 🛎️🛎️🛎️🛎️🛎️ 😏
