TWD: Bury me here...with cobbler
We are one step closer to seeing the war, people! Morgan’s other self came back yesterday and in turn Badass Carol is back and the King now understands that he must fight. Rise up people! Rise up! Here are my thoughts for a surprisingly good episode (especially without Richonne or Daryl).
- One melon. That can’t be good.
- OMG. We’re opening to black?! This makes me nervous. The Sopranos taught me that nothing good comes about during the black fade. In this case, Carol is having a nightmare, which the reality of what happened is probably worse of what she was dreaming about. She knows Daryl lied and needs Morgan to confirm it.
- She killed the walkers with a street sign! It gives new meaning to street signs.
- I’m not going to lie. I’m not a fan of Morgan but I like how controlled he is (well for now anyway) and how he offers to go with her to Alexandria so that she can hear the truth. “That’s between you and Daryl.” Because obviously there is a her and Daryl (#Caryl for life!)
- Uh oh. Ben is being clingy. He wants to “learn” from Carol. I wonder if that’s a ruse for just walking her home to keep an eye on her for the King.
- “Shiva likes you.” “That’s what I’m afraid of.” “I think I just pissed myself.” LOL. I like Nabela already.
- Oh no. More Ben bonding with Morgan. I have a bad feeling about this.
- Jerry’s eating cobbler! He is all of us not wanting to put his cobbler down. I rewound it several times but I didn’t catch what he said. But the five seconds the camera was on Jerry - it made my day. Smiles all around!
- More bonding. More teasing about the girl he likes. This isn’t good.
- As soon as the count was off, I understood Richard’s play. And that sealed the deal for Ben. That sucks. And they hit Jerry! Poor Jerry...
- When is someone going to kill the longhaired guy? He needs to die. Soon.
- On the way to meet his parents, Ben said to Morgan, “To injure an opponent is to injure oneself.” I think he said that cuz he knew that Morgan would be angry. Maybe he tried to diffuse the anger by reminding him of his words. The student became the master. May the force be with you, Ben. We’ll watch out for your little bro.
- OMG. Morgan killed Richard with his bare hands! Flashes of his son, his wife and the killer used to be kept popping up. I didn’t see this coming. I mean, I love that he killed Richard, but I didn’t connect that Morgan would see Ben as his son. When he was at Alexandria, he was around Carl but I didn’t feel him care for Carl like a son. Anyhow, now Morgan is pissed that Ben is dead and Richard is to blame. Bye Richard. Don’t let the big ass door to hell hit you on the way out.
- Richard got his wish. Morgan buried him next to Katy’s backpack. And we’re getting ready for war. Morgan told Carol the truth. Now she knows Glenn, Abraham, Olivia and Spencer are dead. She’s sad. She’s pissed. And now she’s ready. She leaves Morgan at the shack of personal revelation and goes to the Kingdom to help them get ready to fight. The King acknowledges that cold hard fact but, in true king fashion, says they don’t have to start getting ready right at that moment. It’s about healing from the death and trying to plant new crops.
- I really liked this episode. It had a lot of witty one liners and also killed Richard. It also brought Badass Carol back, which I know she doesn’t fully want to be but her strength will help others. And maybe less of the survivors will die at the hands of the Saviors. Maybe it’s Carol who kills Negan. Afterall, Carol is our Wonder Woman.
