So we are supposed to believe that after 6 years the only people that changed their hairstyles / didn't get a hair cut are Carol and Eugene? And I guess the kids.

Even loving Daryl managed to keep his hair the same shaggy mess.

welp that was even dumber than I anticipated. Judith has had maybe 15 minutes of screentime and she's already the worst character but a fuckin mile. and they're really just gonna not have Maggie in the rest of the season? lmfao

Judith is somehow allowed to just wander off with Eugene and Rosita and Aaron? Michonne is now wearing Rick's "WE DON'T TAKE IN STRANGERS" shoes? how did Carol cover every one of those people with kerosene and not wake them up? Eugene can't get Rosita to put the ladder back up, or even just tuck and roll when he lands? since when did covering yourself in mud equate to zombie camouflage?! :psyduck:

I don’t even question Carol logic anymore. I just know it’ll go “she doesn’t want to kill anyone and be alone, then she gives in and kills everyone in an over the top way.” It’s one part the show I’m okay with considering the rest.

like, goddamn i've just been thinking more about it and that episode was so loving stupid.

the lame (self?) exiled saviours have been camping out in the wilderness, by everyone they hate, and they've only now after SIX YEARS resorted to robbing them? wasting that much kerosene to just burn people alive in this dumb apocalypse should be a crime, but gas is magic so gently caress it, i guess.

Eugene and Rosita go to put up a.. signal amplifier? that just looks like... a radio? on top of some water towers that are never investigated or anything? don't they have scoutposts(hehe) to you know, notify the communities of herds like they did six years prior? why didn't Eugene just stay on top of the fuckin thing while Rosita hosed off to alert everyone?

and Michonne roles up to the newcomer group all suuuuuuuuuper salty, nameless dude #1 gets the stinkeye for merely explaining what's up, Aaron gets ripped into for covering for Judith, then Judith is just like "OH HEY IT WAS ME" and Michonne just goes all :3:

basically anyone interacting with Judith, so far, has just :3: and let her do whatever the gently caress she wants. including just playing with her father's handcannon, in the house? :wtc:

also i had a good laugh when they showed the kingdom and the hilltop STILL growing poo poo out of giant tires.

edit: also, when is the midseason finale? or is there not one of those this season?

She wasn't playing with the handcannon. The one lady knocked on the door and she was sitting on top of the steps... I think you're meant to assume she was ready for some poo poo to go down.

You just can't apply rational thought to the show. The writers sure don't. The 6 year time skip is legit hilarious. We're meant to believe nobody important died and barely anyone changed in 6 years except Maggie just disappeared and it didn't even come up once. And also that 8 year old girls can shoot revolvers without breaking their wrist. Etc etc etc

Funny how everything that was important to Rick (unity, the bridge, asking newcomers ~the two questions~, Coral's legacy of being welcoming) has just been thrown away without looking back.

I honestly expected someone to be like "how many walkers have you killed...how many people?" but it never happened. Instead, nearly a decade after civilization's collapse, people still care and wax nostalgic about :turianass: life before :turianass: like any of that matters now unless you were a surgeon...

Yeah it's like, good child actors are hard to find but far from impossible. Imagine if Judith were played by Let Me In era Chloe Grace Moretz. Hell even Anthony's little sister in Bottle Rocket, a bit part in a film with a budget of like 5 minutes of this show's budget, is so much better than Judith. It's like she's being played by some kid who just wandered into the set without having been coached beforehand.

It legit makes almost no sense unless she's somebody's relative

I wouldn't say this kid is a bad child actor, it's just a loving stupid character. You could put Gary Oldman in a wig with shoes on his his knees and it would still suck.

Hopefully Aaron gets sick of kowtowing to the brat after all he's done for Alexandria and shanks her.

I don't want to even look at the actual episode, just some clips on the web will have to suffice.

Did they just introduce like 5+ new characters into this show? This show that already had a cast of 3000 people who all get a second at most each per episode? Bold move. If I really reminisce then there's... 12+ interchangeable badasses right now? Like, when is the last time Tara or Rosita or Teh Gay or Jesus or anyone besides Rick, Darl and Carol had anything to do or say? Are they even in the show anymore?

Also lol at no one aging a day during this 6 year timeskip. Darl still wearing the same lovely rags but now he has some poncho to make him even more cool and mysterious. He is about at the point in his transformation into an anime where he might as well gel up his hair Goku style and practice ninja moves in a dojo. Speaking of aging, is Michonne's kid supposed to be like 5+ years old? Did he exist before the time skip? I mean, I guess I can believe it but idk, the kid was just running in his pyjamas, goofing off. Seemed more like a 3 year old.

Should be 5 and change, presumably is Rick and Michonne's kid. But maybe he is from the "constantly alluded to mysterious event that shaped all our actions to this day but we only reference obliquely".
