Mattipoo December 6, 2015 Share December 6, 2015 (edited) As some people have said upthread, I think they might be trying to pair Rosita up with Spencer (supposedly the actor, useless as he is, is a semi-well known name who starred in "One Tree Hill") so I think he may survive awhile. Poor Rosita! And poor Sasha for getting stuck with pudgy Abraham after the sex on a stick that was Bob. I like Michael Cudlitz as an actor but let's face it, he ain't no looker, especially as Abraham. I love Denise with Tara, they are such a cute couple, so I hope Denise escapes from the evil clutches of the basement wolf and gets to reunite with Tara at some point later in the season. Morgan and Carol? Just no! I think Carol needs a nice yummy man like Tobin to rock her world, not some wannabe Karate Kid.

ghoulina December 6, 2015 Share December 6, 2015 I actually think Cudlitz (in real life, without the orange hair) is really cute. And funny as well. When he appeared on TTD last season, or end of season 4, I was very into him. But the character of Abraham isn't quite as attractive. It's not just the cartoon hair and penchant for wife beaters, but the way he rambles on in such a nonsensical way is just maddening. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/34462-love-in-the-time-of-walkers-relationships-in-the-walking-dead/page/6/#findComment-1779325

Yikes! Well, if we're going there, if I had to guess... Gabriel: He is hot, and guilty repression is hot. Don't lie, you know it's true. He's the most likely of any of these guys to be kinky. The sex would be hot, but you'd have to put up with a lot of whining afterwards and handwringing about how sinful it was, how he succumbed to a moment of weakness, blah blah blah. Not worth it. Eugene: Diligent when he applies himself to a task, and willing to educate himself: good. Certain positions would probably tire him out pretty quickly (missionary, up against the wall, etc.) Being a big nerd, he's the second-most likely of the bunch to be into kinky shit, after Gabriel. I could see him getting frustrated when the sexual techniques he'd been "reliably informed" would work didn't work because every woman is different, as opposed to a video game where the same button combination unlocks the next level every time. In terms of getting a partner, like many love-starved nerds, if he wants to get some loving, Eugene needs to punch at his weight. After sex, he would either go Stage 5 Clinger or get a swelled head, ditch his partner, and try to bag himself someone way out of his league. Could go either way. (My observation has been that supersmart nerds like Eugene are either the sweetest, most caring, most devoted boyfriends/girlfriends ever--like, marry them immediately or you will regret it for the rest of your days--or the wooooooooooooorst. There doesn't seem to be much middle ground.) Glenn: Sweet, gentle, tender, probably not super passionate. If I had to guess...Likes his partner on top. Occasionally cries during sex. Gives amazing oral. Always makes sure his partner orgasms. Rick: Boring as shit. Missionary or GTFO. Daryl: ....Still can't see him as sexual, sorry. Just don't see it. Assuming he is not asexual, though, he also seems like a submissive type who would need a lot of booze and encouragement to act on any attraction. Probably disturbingly quiet during sex and loath to talk about sex at all. Since I think communication is important for good sex, I think all in all his lack of willingness to talk about it, coupled with what I'm assuming is a lack of experience, would probably make for a terrible lover. Morgan: He's the guy who talks constantly throughout and who checks in every 30 seconds to see how you're doing.

It is sorrow porn, with an added undercurrent of all men are pigs. ... with the occasional Munch for amusing relief - I love me some John Munch. (Loved the character, too, in Homicide: Life on the Streets - potentially more sorrow porn, but I still loved it.) And then there is Law & Order: Criminal Intent... which for me is almost all about Vincent D'Onofrio and his, for me, fascinating portrayal of Det. Robert Goren as some sort of brilliant, affected, disturbed, obsessive, and somewhat creepy Columbo. As with The Walking Dead, for me it's all about the characters... and L&O verse has some interesting ones. And unlike some other proceedural shows, the relationships between the characters are important and often very complex. The detective partners can have very intense relationships that can be at the same time supportive in some ways and destructive in others. With SVU especially there are parallels with The Walking Dead in this way. The detectives see way too much and they are exposed to a lot of ugly and quick decisions have to be made which can lead to mistakes and friction - which takes a toll on them and their relationships. That friction between Carl and Rick, for example, over what happened at the prison... Elliot Stabler and Olivia Benson had a similar friction over a decision where a child ended up being killed, because Elliot stopped to make sure Olivia was okay first, getting to the child too late. They had to work through the blame and guilt... Elliot's misplaced anger with Olivia (he blamed her for making him stop to check on her) reminded me of Carl's anger towards Rick. Both had to work through it and realize that it was their problem not their Dad/Olivia's, and in both cases that process was a little rough and somewhat ugly. It kind of makes sense... the sorrow porn comparison by Watcher0363 is apt. SVU is the show of the three where the detectives see the ugliest and most affecting cases, and are more apt to come through with mental scars. It's also the show where the main detectives are most dependent on each other - for better or for worse (or more often both) - because of it. For me there was one exchange that described the Olivia/Elliot relationship in a nutshell... After a case where they were looking for a parent because a kidney was needed (it was complex, I don't remember the details, but it involved blood types)... Olivia: Love's a bitch. Elliot: Tell me about it. Olivia: You know, we've been partners all these years. I don't even know your blood type. Elliot: A-postiive. Olivia: How 'bout that? Me too. Elliot: [both enter the elevator and turn to face forward] I'd give you a kidney. Olivia (wryly): Not if I gave you mine first. It's probably just me, but that reminds me of Rick and Carl's relationship. (Except for the blood type part.)

iRarelyWatchTV36 February 15, 2016 Share February 15, 2016 No wonder Rick is so messed up mentally most the time. Finally introduce a strong candidate as a LI for him - after however many months that Lori died, then her ghost stopped visiting to lead him on field trips outside the safety of structures - only for him to have to watch from a front-row seat as she and her kid get turned into a late-night buffet for walkers, and the other kid short-sights his own child. My own head-canon likes the turn of events a bit, though... Sasha or Rosita are my Rick-centric choices, even though I'm 99.99% sure neither will ever happen on the show.

maplebrew February 15, 2016 Share February 15, 2016 Yeah, Rick's not going to be romancing the ladies anytime soon. He's going to be irrationally guilty guy for awhile over not sensing the danger Porchdick family posed to Coral. Although it would play better if his children's survival and his new sense of civilization building simply pushed all thoughts of the Porchdick family experience out of his head.
