I canât get over when Maggie did a floor sweep and knocked dude on his ass. Maggie might be with child but she showed that fragility is not acceptable even in those circumstances. If anything, you have more determination to live and to kill. Maggie didnât cower or back down because she was pregnant. If anything she fought harder, got more ruthless. I like that idea instead of Maggie being coddled or being saved. She fought hard and killed with more savageness than Carol sometimes.
For Carol, one of the most breathtaking moments was when she called the other Saviors to the kill floor, masking her voice like Paulaâs. Just like with the Wolves and wearing a disguise, just like with the Alexandrians and her sweaters, Carolâs ability to think on her feet and adapt herself to whatever mask she needs is outstanding and heartbreaking. How often did Ed beat her and she had to act like everything was okay for Sophia or people around her? How many bruises or broken bones did she have that she couldnât show pain. How much did she have to hid herself?
And when Daryl (squee!) and Glenn came riding into their rescue, the women were already freed and had killed all of their captors. Violently and methodically may I remind you. They stayed until the job was done. They did not run because they were simply free. And Carol, with the presence of mind to create tracks, even supplied their own recovery efforts with the group. But when the doors opened, they received the one thing they lacked the entire episodeâlove, support, and concern.
I applaud both Lauren and Melissa for what they gave to us. Two women who would otherwise be underestimated- a pregnant woman and a middle aged woman- who not only kicked ass but dispelled the ridiculous tropes of femininity.
