Dammit, whyyyyy? I hate this show so much right now...why am I putting myself through this?😭😭😭 It's going to take me three weeks to find the strength to watch the next episode...

[sunsetmaidenwrites]

Not Tyreese! 😭I'm done with this show. (Not really.). Why do I bother making a Top 5 list though...

And is it just me...or is new characters making the beginning credits like a death sentence. It happened with Merle, Hershel, the Governor, Beth and now Tyreese. If Sasha makes the credits next season, I'm throwing something.

(Also, what am I supposed to do with Gabriel here...I'm so mad at him most times he comes on the screen.)

Top 5

Michonne

Rick

Daryl

Glenn

Sasha

The majority of the new characters aren't growing on me. Tara's okay; Abraham has potential. But I would trade all of them to have Tyreese or Bob back.

Did NOT have Rick tearing out a guy's jugular with his teeth on my Bingo card for the night...but I love a character who does whatever it takes to protect his family.

(Speaking of Rick's family, Tyreese turning around a few episodes ago and it being revealed that Judith was strapped to him was the happiest I've ever felt watching this show...)

(Also speaking of Rick's family--the Michonne and Carl friendship is officially my favorite friendship, sorry Daryl and Carol and Daryl and Rick...)

Also...where the heck is Beth? I'm not sure I actually miss her...but I also don't want anything bad to happen to her.

Favorite Characters as of now:

Michonne

Rick (he just jumped back up a few places with this episode and just his overall demeanor as he watches Michonne lately...)

Tyreese

Sasha

Daryl

Daryl slipped a little these last few episodes. And Glenn fell out, which feels weird, because I absolutely love him, but he was not the character I was eager to see this last half of season 4. I also have half an episode left before the season wraps up, so everything could change. I had to pause after the jugular thing...and what happened with Carl...a little more intense than I was expecting after the last episode, where I didn't think anything could get more disturbing than what happened in that one.

Not trusting Terminus at all either. Not after the Governor...if it seems too good to be true, by golly it is on this show...

[sunsetmaidenwrites]

Not a whole episode devoted to the freaking Governor before a Michonne-centric one. Please someone tell me there will eventually be a Michonne backstory episode. I really wanna know the story about those walkers she kept on leashes...and why it was so hard for her to hold Judith. I mean...I can guess some of it, but I still want to see it way more than I wanna see whatever Patchy is up to.

(That being said...it was still a good episode that kept my attention.)

I also can't believe I still haven't seen Daryl's reaction to Carol's exile. I've been fretting over this for multiple episodes now...

Also, I love Hershel. I'm not emotionally prepared to lose that man...but there's no way he's making it out of the season. I'm calling it now. In fact, every episode I think it's coming...it's probably going to come in the most mundane way just because when he literally does anything I'm like...he left the group! He's outside--it's gonna happen! He's old, he can't be around all those sick people! Why isn't he wearing a mask?! There's a walker, he can't run! He's such a stable voice of reason. I'm thankful we've had him this long.

Still watching TWD...and coming the closest I can to binge-watching considering what my life looks like. Three episodes in one night is unheard of these days.

Top 5 Characters:

Glenn

2. Michonne

3. Rick

4. Daryl

5. Maggie and Hershel (for the tie)

How are these people still on my screen:

Andrea (I loathe this character. Which is not a dig at the actress...i just don't understand the way she is written at all. I hear she's huge in the comics, and I'm curious if this is a casting issue, a writing issue...what? She rubs me the wrong way every time she's on the screen. I will never get over her ignoring a thousand red flags about Woodbury and just letting Michonne leave after Michonne saved her and they traveled together all that time. Like this is a place that enlists MERLE as second-in-commandish and that isn't a problem for you? When she looked at Michonne and said 'what did you do??" in horror after Michonne fought the Governor--I'm just done here. I don't see how I will ever like this character.

Merle (please Daryl...come back to your family. I know he's your brother and you have history...but you are not the same.)

Got new characters last night. Quite liking Tyreese and Sasha straight away.

If anyone watches TWD, I'm interested in who you ship! (Anyone ship Carol/Daryl? I definitely like their growing bond. Not sure if it's meant to be romantic or not. Could see it either way at this point. But I do love the genuine affection they have for one another.)
