"...she's realizing, "of course I want my son back" but how do I feel about turning over this person that I've come to see is maybe not exactly the person I thought he was. He helps her put her family back together and in turn he will suffer for what he's done." - Eli Jorne on Maggie tricking Negan and trading him for Hershel. The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 1, Episode 6.

One thing I really like about the Foragers/Central Park survivors storyline in 2x03 of Dead City is that it features funerary rites (there was also ceremonial memorializing of their recently deceased by the group in s1). Which (as far as I can tell, I haven't watched all of it) is a rarity, especially for a franchise that portrays so much death, and so much death of significant characters. Of course a lot of this is because they're often in situations where they have no choice but to just leave the body/remains behind and move on. But that's not the case all the time (and you don't need the body to memorialize someone). So idk, it's just curious to me that most of the societies in the TWDverse don't seem to have formed or cumulated from their various cultural backgrounds traditional funerary or memorial rituals.

Actually, that lack of grieving and mourning processes is alluded to by Eli Jorné in the Episode Insider for 2x03: "I was just really moved by the idea that in a different culture, that there's a different way to express grief, which is just...letting it out. So here we've got these characters starting to learn that there's another way. That if you can allow yourself to grieve, and not hold it in, and not try to ignore it, and not try to just move past it...maybe that's the path forward."
