I thought Tara was all but telling Eugene that she wanted to have sex with him. Especially the part where she said something like "didn't you hear what I just said?" And then he blew it by telling her he sabotaged the car.

Except last season when he tried to put the moves on her and she explicitly tells him she's a lesbian and not into it.

He enjoys the female form...just not necessarily the female conversation

I think it's not out of the question that she said she didn't like dudes solely because Eugene was hitting on her for the past 2000 miles. She could be bisexual, except that bisexual people in media are pretty much always evil.

Also drat, Abe has got like 3xPTSD right now. Nobody leave him alone with a gun anymore.

my guess: he will come close to killing himself again, except this time his girlfriend will reveal that she's pregnant

and then keeping her safe will be his new "mission"

(i hope this doesn't happen and he just kills himself)

I thought she said that because he was staring at her tits. She's previously established as being gay.

I don't think people understand what being gay actually means when they keep suggesting she wants Glen or Eugene. And you thought Goons were bad when they couldn't tell an obviously-battered wife and scared children.

A lot of people are on a spectrum and only say they're "gay" or "straight" because saying "I'm bisexual but like 90% gay" is complicated. I know plenty of "lesbians" who will still sometimes have sex with guys, and plenty of "gay" guys who will occasionally have sex with a woman if they feel like it.

I think it's been established that something like 90% of bisexual people identify as either gay or straight, for convenience sake and because both the gay and straight communities have massive prejudices against bi people.

You make a fair point I should've probably considered myself from personal experience. That said, she's only been portrayed in a single manner on the show, and media often has an issue with bisexuality, especially American media. So it's likely she's a 100% lesbian within the context of the show world.

I don't think people understand what writing a character who behaves in a way contrary to the way in which she's been introduced for dramatic effect/plot movement actually means when they keep suggesting that she's 100% gay despite constantly being filmed looking longingly at Glen, and looking like someone choked her puppy every time Maggie and Glen act like a couple.

JON JONES APOLOGIST #3

GrAviTy84 posted:

I think the subtlety of Abe's motivation is a bit lost in the delivery for TV. Basically he has a very irrational anxiety trigger to staying stationary. His mind equates digging in in a location with the rape of his wife and daughter and eventually their leaving him and their death. It is of course not rational, but that's inevitably how Rick becomes the defacto leader again (comicspoiler)

That's a good point, and it fits with the way they used really abrupt cuts (like, in the middle of music cues abrupt) to switch back from the flashbacks to reality. It drove home that they weren't just flashbacks, they were Abe's stream of consciousness that happens whenever they're not moving forward.

This means that Abe is a fraud just like Eugene, because his motivation is never truly about getting Eugene to safety. He's constantly pushing the group to keep moving because he can't stand being alone with his own thoughts. Very likely, he is just as much responsible for getting people killed in his haste as Eugene is, if not more.

Oh, I'm pretty sure he's hosed up good. We went from looking relatively ok, just knocked out on his feet to face smashed in when they show him slamming straight down on it. I think we're gonna find out he's drat near dead at the least and Abe goes on to put another check on his wrist for punchout deaths

Honestly? What guys has she had time to hook up with that weren't "We need to gently caress now" the moment she ran into them. Either they had sex as the only thing going or they simply haven't stopped long enough for her to really stake one out except Eugene since she's been around him the longest and he shows some interest. I mean it hasn't been a month since the Gov met up with them, and prior to that, what did she really have? Some overly macho men?

This show isn't subtle and I didn't mean to put forth the theory that she is actually bisexual. When someone says "I'm gay" on television it always means "I am literally on the end of the Kinsey scale".

Is Abe pulling out his stitches in his sleep because he subconsciously doesn't want to heal? Or is he just angry and incapable of going a whole day without punching someone?

Either answer works for me.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I take his bleeding hands as a physical consequence and symbol of his problem. He won't stop and rest. He hasn't since that day so his wounds have never had the chance to heal because he's always pushing himself harder and farther. So whether it's zombie killing, fixing a bus, moving cars off the road, or slugging someone out he just keeps putting stress on them, opening the wounds, and never slow down and rests long enough to let them truly close.
