I know it could be debated that its their own fault for being 'out there, in public' with their Twitter accounts, etc... but I find it utterly and amazingly sickening that people attack actors/actresses like that. Call me "old fashioned", but when did blasting a character (and/or actor) on forums like this, become not enough? I have a special kind of dislike for "fans" that personally attack entertainers in this way (ie, via social media). [/steps off soap box] 7 Link to comment

I think it's quite possible that she might like him and flirt with him a bit, but the bigger story is going to be her husband, who already doesn't seem to like Rick being there. This is why I was so upset about this relationship and about the show baiting (with scenes like Michonne's reaction to a clean-shaven Rick). While I don't blame the show for crazy fans, and i have a feeling it's not just Richonne fans who are behaving this way (any time a woman on a show is involved with or supposed to be involved with a leading male character, they tend to get hate), fanning the flames makes things more difficult. It's easy to say that the actors should just deal with it, but clearly that isn't easy for her. I also blame the ridiculous press articles that keep calling her "the new Mrs. Rick Grimes." We barely know her and yet Jessie is being anointed to a huge status. It's a great way to invite backlash and fan anger that reminds me of the ugliness that went on with Lori and Andrea in the first three seasons. Everything about how this character is treated by the press and somewhat in the narrative feels like she is an object, not a person in her own right. I really hope that doesn't continue. I'd rather see Rick remain single than just have a woman thrown at him solely for the sake of having a woman thrown at him. I was much more interested in seeing him adapt to Alexandria and his relationships with the people in his life than a random beautiful blonde popping up to do his hair. It reminded me of something I could find on fanfiction.net. 5 Link to comment
mandolin March 2, 2015 Share March 2, 2015 I love the look that Rick gives Michonne when she notices his beard is gone. It's like he's presenting himself and waiting for her approval/reaction. However, I will not be taking to social media to berate anyone for their potential future relationship to Rick one way or the other. :p 4 Link to comment

I guess some would say anyone new is random until you get to know them. . But I think we have only just begun with the stories in this place---I don't know that Deanna is random or Enid is random. I also do not think we know enough to say if she is "just a woman thrown at him solely for the sake of having a woman thrown at him." Do we know yet what reason anyone new on the show has been introduced to the story? Frankly, I don't even know if the baby-cheek-pinching grandparents are random and just thrown in just to pinch Judith's cheeks...that whole bit seemed a little forward to me, they just got there. All the new characters are ciphers so far...we need to not take any of them at face value. It's (Alexandria) a little bit creepy for me. Edited March 2, 2015 by kikismom 1 Link to comment

We'll just go and shred ourselves, so we can forever more hang on that Big Clothesline out behind God's house." Rick's response? Somewhat predictable: "Do what you gotta do. I can find some other stuff and things to wear." 3 Link to comment
Pete Martell March 3, 2015 Share March 3, 2015 Something Andrew Lincoln rarely gets credit for is how much acting he does with his eyes. Comparing the scene with Michonne in the car toward the end of last week's episode (where he was afraid, and very suspicious, but trying to let himself hope) with his eyes at the end of this episode, on the porch (where his eyes were completely dead) gave me a chill. I don't think Rick is going to be The Governor or be a villain, and I don't feel like the show is saying that's what he will become, but I do think the show is saying yet again that the days of Rick being the traditional "hero" are long gone. He wears the garb of a hero and a good man, but, as he told Aaron (and I really hope we see more of that relationship because I thought they worked well together) - being a good man doesn't stop you from killing people. I'm really happy with how the show has handled Rick's increasing slide into darkness this last season and how various people in the group react to it (Carol and Daryl backing it up or interpreting it their own way, while Michonne challenges him, etc.) As many writing problems as the show has, they've done so much better with this than I thought they would. 8 Link to comment

People die all the time in the ZA, so there's no reason why Jessie's husband can't die in a freak gardening accident or spontaneously combust while playing the drums in Alexandria's Spinal Tap cover band. Then, of course, Jessie is sad and needs to be consoled, and R & J bond over each having lost a spouse, and blah blah blah. 4 Link to comment

kj4ever March 4, 2015 Share March 4, 2015 I think anytime a female had a reaction to Rick's new Love Actually good looks he was awkward. Remember the convo where Shane was "banging a 30 year old on the regular" (ugh I would have hated him even if he wasn't an attempted rapist/psychopath) and Rick never got any? I have a feeling that Rick was the type that was pretty shy around the ladies when it came to that stuff, and he's showing that side of him when he gets attention. 3 Link to comment

The other odd thing is she doesn't mention her husband.

So, I don't know - if they set her up as a love interest, I hope she is something else besides that and art owls. I'm really happy with how the show has handled Rick's increasing slide into darkness this last season and how various people in the group react to it (Carol and Daryl backing it up or interpreting it their own way, while Michonne challenges him, etc.) I do too. Thinking back to Rick on Hershel's farm, he would never have said "We'll take it". He's over that now; Carl, Judith, an extended family, almost being cannibalized, etc etc. It makes sense at this point. I had to LOL a little at now not surprised Rick was to see Carl outside of Alexandria. The father/son bonding was great but it seemed Rick appreciated that Carl was doing his own exploring. He panicked earler when Carl & Judith were out of his sight in Alexandria, but that was inside the walls of the new place. Edited March 5, 2015 by raven 1 Link to comment

Good possibility. And if true, that means one of two things [or more]... 1} There really is no husband, and even if she already has two kids - and Rick does as well - making (more) babies is on CWD's agenda. Or 2} There is a husband, but CWD wants to drive a wedge between them for some reason; or just maybe wants to see what kind of character Rick has, if knowing she's married and waiting to see how he handles that knowledge, even with Jessie showing interest.

It is extremely weird. Gimple called Michonne Rick's "work wife," he didn't use that term for Carol or Sasha or Daryl. He also compared Richonne to Pam and Jim's relationship on The Office (if anyone ever watched.... Jam took quite a damned long time to get off the ground, and people argued about its direction and if it tanked the show blahblahblah). I knew as soon as Rick had shaved that squirrel off his face and was stalking around the McMansion freshly showered and shirtless and there was a knock on the door that something was up. I swear I saw Jessie's eyes pop out of her head and her tongue rolling out to the ground as she cheerfully chirped, "Hi! I'm the next Mrs. Grimes!!" My only conclusion is Rick is in for a world of hurt. TPTB cannot have him be a happy man. 1 Link to comment

That being said, I read somewhere that before social media TPTB were able to get on with thangs without fans getting on their case and that simply isn't true.

Lori may have been "just a housewife" but she wore the pants in that family, no bones about it. They got together when they were teenagers practically. I think Lori thought Rick was a stand up guy and she liked that she could boss him around. She confessed to her friend that she was angry that Rick wouldn't argue with her, that she wished he would just "blow up" at her. Ugh. Jessie reminded me of her.

Just by sight, Rick looks like his old, original self, but Daryl looks like "current" Daryl, having gone through all the things he has, with Rick. It's a juxtaposition kind of moment for me. I think we were seeing what people were Before. Thus "Remember". Carl as a kid going to school and playing video games; Rick as a fresh-faced law man, Carol as a mousy housewife. But Daryl looking and behaving the same as he always has because he is still who he was Before. (Only now he is valued, respected, loved, for his ways). The ZA didn't change Daryl, it just gave him a leg-up in the hierarchy. Daryl didn't fit in with the Before and thus he doesn't fit in in this place that is mimicing the Before. And he knows it. He's clearly uncomfortable. His pacing in his "interview" and then the pacing like a caged animal after the dust-up with Glen & Aidan. Loved that and loved the shot of him sitting in the corner of the porch when Rick asked if he was coming and he said no. The vertical porch spindles around him were a strong visual metaphor for him being caged/jailed. Maybe I am giving the Show to much credit but that was spot-on. In the Before he very well could have ended up in jail, in the fake Before they are in now, he's like a caged animal. Unlike the others he can't pretend to be who he was before because this IS who he was before. 8 Link to comment

They were clearly not right for each other but toughing it out for Coral's sake. If the ZA hadn't happened they likely would've divorced before too long, with much regret on Lori's part, and much bewilderment on Rick's part. He has grown in leaps and bounds since those Officer Friendly days. Not necessarily in positive directions but enough to keep his family alive. So... I see Jessie as a throw back to the Lori days. Shall be interesting to see how he reacts to her. His bowing to the hair cut does not bode well. 1 Link to comment
