Tom that thing on carl his gun is just a silencer. It’s not meant for beating

Tom is slowly curing my depression one intro dance at a time . Preciate u

I know that a lot of fans have issues with Lori’s character (and perhaps rightfully so) but she’s been nothing but great in Season 3 so far imo, very understanding towards Rick and his resentment, she’s being very supportive of everyone in the group and made sure we didn’t lose Hershel. All while being very kind and calm.

LikelyMeme

"We're awful greatful for what you did" is also what Lori said to Rick their first night at the prison, but the context was a bit different from here. It still feels cold but it is a step for him to reconnecting and reciprocating.

Fender Fox

These prison dudes are just going in like a shanking 🤣 they just wasting energy when they could go for the 🧠

So is Rick the only person you think can give her all those things you say Lori needs? She's getting support and care from everyone. She tore his life apart and now he's going to raise the child of another man with her. But Rick is the one who needs to step up. Most of the time I'm right behind you, Tom, but I think you're being too harsh on Rick this time . Most people would feel it was well within their rights to leave a cheating spouse in the dust.

I do think Rick needs to communicate more but from my experience it is the woman that needs to shoulder emotional matters for the men. We live in an emotional battlefield from puberty to menopause and have learned many coping methods to deal with emotions on a daily, or monthly, basis. Feeling emotions on a deep level is so much more common for a woman but it can be more foreign for a man. Most men don't know how to handle deep emotions and they either shut down or burst out in anger. It is the woman that needs to be able to handle that because we are stronger.... emotionally. We look weaker because we respond in an emotional way so often, but that isn't weakness.... we gain emotional strength from dealing with it so much. So for me, it is Lori that needs to shoulder Rick's emotional distress and step up... especially since it was her that caused the problem in the first place. I like her and she is trying, but this isn't on Rick. IMO.

Zero

I feel for both Rick and Lori and the situation they're in. Lori never meant for this to happen the way it did, but now Rick can't even look at her without being reminded of Shane, a memory he wants more than anything to bury. She beats herself up enough, Rick doesn't really need to add to it. She's become a punching bag for both him and Carl. You can see his internal struggle though; he loves her, but can't get himself to open back up to her again after her rejection at the end of season 2.

courtney 🧚🏽‍♀️

coming from someone who doesn’t like her, i agree. she did have remorse and tried to be better. even tho she fucked up at least she’s trying to make it better so i have to commend her for that. just sucks it took rick being so hurt and cold towards her for her to realize she has to change her behavior.

courtney 🧚🏽‍♀️

from the previous video i think it stems from her being pregnant which i get but this is the apocalypse so i can see why she wouldn’t be getting that much grace during this time. he can’t cater to her right now regardless of her condition bc he is super hurt and he’s also the leader trying to secure them a safe home.

Malachi Pritchard

She didn’t cheat she thought Rick was dead as soon as she knew he wasn’t she cut Shane off. But you’re right Rick is not at fault here

Zero

@Malachi I'm aware of that, that's why I really don't fault Lori as much as most others do. Shane wasn't much more than a rebound, she definitely wasn't over Rick when we first see them in Season 1.

Zero

That sounds like an unequal partnership, though. Why should women have to shoulder everyone else's emotions simultaneously with their own? That sounds like an unrealistic expectation and another one of those gender norms that needs to be done away with. The only reason we're perceived as stronger emotionally is because we're expected to be while men are shamed out of showing any emotion at all. That's a huge responsibility to place solely on women.

Zero

She wasn't a "cheating spouse" in the traditional sense. If anything, after finding out Rick was alive, she was loyal to a fault. People are way too harsh on Lori, Rick could stand to try a bit harder. And, without spoiling anything, even he knows that and says as much.

Jesse James

:| I've learned TWD is too gory for my liking so I've resorted to watching it and any other media that's similar in black and white, if you're sensitive like me too or you just don't wanna be traumatized I suggest black and white, it really does help. I do it through my monitor's firmware, if you have windows (I don't) there is most likely software on there that lets you change colors for your screen. :)

Josie

This show is so gooooooood <3

Josie

Hahaha, he is so adorable when he does it hehe!

Skyler

I have rewatched this season many times as well, and seeing this Rick & Lori situtation. I feel for both of them. Lori is heavily pregannt, under alot of stress, lack of feeling safe, etc. & I feel for her as I am sure she just wants some connection. I am a Lori understander I would say, she is not always my favorite but she hasa heart, she has made mistakes, and she has outright said she understands how her actions have caused turmoil. She is GROWING as a character and there should be respect for that. I also understand Rick as the sole leader of surivival group, he has immense pressure on him at all times as well. He has kept this group alive for 7-8 months since the farm and I would say that it is impressive no one died in that span of time. I agree that he sucks at communicating, its a flaw of his but I have always seen him as a reasonable person. I believe he is so caught up in keeping everyone safe, getting Lori a better place to stay to have their baby is on his mind more than fixing their other issues. he loves Lori, nothing with Shane or other disagreements has changed that. That hand on the shoulder was him trying to start making steps to come back to each other. Yes, he may be a little hard on her right now considering her physical & mental state but I can understand why he has been distant.

Josie

Daryl and Carol were early favorites of mine and stayed that way for the entirety of the show and on into the side shows. Absolute banger characters!

Grady

Bud was throwing up ninjutsu signs In the intro lmao

Grady

Bru she thought and was told Rick was dead. And when your in life threatening world ending situations form months thinking that it’s not cheating.

Isaiah

Don’t forget … Rick killed those two people in the bar

Elliot

I think in the real world, Rick wouldve split with Lori long ago. But in this world, they are stuck with each other, so I think Rick is giving her more than enough. The relationship is all but over whether Lori likes it or not. I don't think they are at the point anymore where Rick needs to share any feelings with her. Well he did. He rejected her basically. I get in your profession Tom, you are always trying to fix couples but you must get some clients that you thought or perhaps even said, its time to separate and move on. I think this is one of those occasions. And in this world where Rick is trying to keep them all alive, he really doesnt need this emotional rollercoaster. It will get him or the others killed.

Korivex

When an invader comes into your home why is it up to the man to go fight him? Because he is better at it.... same as dealing with emotions, we are better at it. We all have strengths and IMO one of a woman's strengths is being a good emotional support.... so that is what she should do. Again... IMO.

courtney 🧚🏽‍♀️

maybe not in the traditional sense but she was disloyal for sure. how fast she moved on and who she did it with. if it was anyone else it wouldn’t have been as bad but moving on with your husbands childhood best friend is messed up regardless of timeline or how it happened.

courtney 🧚🏽‍♀️

it’s definitely unequal but that’s how most dynamics are. men are changing but for most of history, that’s how men and women function. most of it is societal but it’s still true. men are protectors and providers and women take care of the household. lori even said it herself in season 2 at the farm so they definitely have traditional gender roles in their marriage. it’s unfair but that’s just how things have been. luckily it’s changing and more men are becoming emotionally intelligent and vulnerable but it’s still hard for them overall bc it isn’t fostered in boys to be in touch with their emotions like girls are taught. men have things they can do that we can’t and we have things we can do that men can’t. we both have strengths and weaknesses that can work well together if you allow it to depending on the person and their preference/relationship dynamics.

Angelica Albanese

What I really love about this episode is that it does a really good job at showing us just how much Rick has changed since they left the farm.

Angelica Albanese

One of my favorites things from this season is Carl's jerryrigged metal baseball bat silencer 😆🤣

courtney 🧚🏽‍♀️

i always took rick touching lori’s shoulder as an olive branch. i think he’s capable of forgiving her, he just needs time and space to do so. to me that was a baby step in the right direction. now that they’re safe he can try to actively work on their marriage. there’s a lot of resentment (and rightfully so) on rick’s part that he has to let go of so he can love lori properly but it’s hard. she’s a constant reminder of shane and she’s most likely carrying his baby so i can’t imagine how conflicting that is to work through emotionally.

MaggieS61

I’ll never understand why Lori aggressively and angrily pushed Rick away when he explained what happened with Shane. She was being totally unreasonable, so I don’t blame Rick for being hesitant to show his feelings to her now. I also feel people tend to forget the other reason she may have been with Shane so quickly when things went bad and her husband was in a coma in the hospital. The world was falling apart and she had a child to protect. I don’t blame her AT ALL for being as close as possible to Shane during that time. A mother will do just about anything to make sure their child is safe. And if that meant getting cozy with Shane, so be it. And I think Rick actually understands that too.

Anthony

Man I can’t express my excitement for these uploads. Such a great series

Saltnlight

Wake up call indeed! Season 1 Rick said 'we don't kill the living'. In this new world, that no longer applies.

nobudy

43:32 oh boy 😅

sk8star

lori put rick and shane at odds and even tho shane is mostly to blame rick killing his best friend isn’t an easy pill to swallow and then having to care for the woman who cheated on him (understandably bc she thought he was dead) with his best friend and the baby that most likely isn’t his isn’t something you get over with overnight

Makayla Inman

People are ridiculous when it comes to Lori. She's not perfect but neither is Rick and people just have a hard time accepting that. It's been like 8 months, he absolutely needs to be addressing things. Lori also didn't create the Shane problem on her own, shit escalated because Rick ignored it, never properly talked to either of them, and could've communicated better with his son. Rick played a role in Shane escalating, his was just quiet so people ignore it. The truth is Shane's was mostly at fault for what happened but both Rick and Lori could've handled it better. And all that did was take their communication problems to the extreme. Rick and Lori are both good people, in extremely hard situations trying their best and no one should be happy to see them in this situation. They both are trying to mend the relationship it just looks different right now.

Amy J

I love walking dead Wednesdays 🥹🙌

Anika

Sorry, not sorry. Rick is the one that needed support. He killed his partner after the mixed signals Lori gave Shane, and whispering in Rick's ear about how dangerous Shane was. Rick was traumatized and Lori showed so much care and shock that Shane was dead (and later that Carl shot Walker Shane). She shouldn't have shamed and pushed away Rick. I don't care if she's pregnant (with SHANE'S baby, in case we forgot). She deserves his cold shoulder, indefinitely. Justice for Rick.

Zero

@courtney I just don't look at this situation through the lens of our reality or even my own personal morals. Those two had a trauma bond and women statistically tend to move on faster than men, but she wasn't truly over Rick at all. It's not disloyal to try to move on after your spouse dies, she isn't Rick's property. She just wanted connection in a time of turmoil and loss, I can't really fault her for it. She's probably the most real character in this show, bar none.

ZombieGuy33

I dont agree with you on the ending of the episode Its Rick trying to reconnect to Lori after what he’s been through and Lori Their both trying to connect again but It’s not just an easy to say hey let’s be back together again it’s by building a foundation slowly but surely

Reaction Therapy

My point about Rick all along has been, he doesn’t let people in (sharing vulnerable emotion), and he pushes people away (makes excuses for why he has other things to do)…I love Rick, I’m just coming at it from a therapist lens and Lori has messed up a lot in the past but is trying more lately I think

Reaction Therapy

I won’t defend Lori and the things she’s done, I just don’t think an indefinite cold shoulder is going to help anyone, it’s what so many couples do today (try to punish each other), Lori needs to be more aware of how she communicates and Rick needs to be aware that he is a communication avoider, just my take😊 I do love how this show sparks so much debate on both sides 🙏

Reaction Therapy

Are you a therapist? If not, then you should be!😊 this is exactly how I feel🙏

Reaction Therapy

Actually I don’t think Rick will ever leave Lori…. His whole life is commitment and loyalty…I think Lori probably would’ve eventually had an affair (maybe not with Shane) if the apocalypse had never happened…based on ask the couples I’ve seen. I’ve told some couples they should split up but not a couple like this…they are smart enough and good hearted enough to work through this👍

Reaction Therapy

Love this take, thank you Skyler, I do feel the same way 😊👍

Reaction Therapy

It’s survival mode at this point and there’s no time for therapy sadly 😩

Reaction Therapy

But she didn’t cheat…and Rick isn’t the only one that needs to try, his Classic response is to shut down and walk away, and I think he’s been that way for a long time…Lori can be passive aggressive and needs to learn that her words and actions hurt sometimes

Zero

Yup, they've just gotta figure it out on their own unfortunately .. these characters have my whole heart. 😞

William Ubillas

the bat and gun situation is that they made a suprresssor out of the end of the bat. its basically just a "silencer"

Anika

I also think that either way, if Rick isn't ready to talk about it, he's not ready. I know it had been a while, but him and Lori were also having issues before the Walkers came. And part of Lori's issue, I think she said that Rick wouldn't get mad and yell at her. Seems like he was always this way, maybe, and Lori may need to accept to some extent that Rick is a chair, and she wants a table.

Tyah Reacts

I honestly don't think Rick and Lori are as suited to each other as you seem to have always felt Tom. Especially once they showed us that Flashback where Lori said "sometimes I wish he would just yell at me, and not be so "nice and patient". It became very clear in my opinion that Lori wanted Rick to get out of character sometimes and not be himself. And that always gave me the ick with her and their relationship. I don't think she was ever the right person for him and vice versa. She said it herself that they got married super young. Probably right outta high school. I genuinely believe that before the Apocalypse the only thing keeping them from eventually divorcing was Carl. And sharing a kid should not be the reason why two people who don't belong together, stay together.

Sussie

Yeah sad note end like that. The majority is always on Rick’s side no matter what. I always found that to be a little weird tbh. Because I think he has his faults too (and not always right) but that’s ok, to me that just makes him more human and real. I still love him. It’s why it’s so sad to see the huge gap between them. On the other hand I do have my issues with Lori. I don’t know why I struggle with her. I’ve just been soooo annoyed with her in S2 (I blame Shane) but here she is full of warmth and she’s trying to close the gap but Rick is not ready. He’s very distant.

Lab

When tom tears up I just start crying for some reason idk

Donovan Taite

I believe at this point Rick no longer wants to be a husband to lorry . He’s just making it work for Carl and because like they said they can’t just hire a divorce lawyer . That’s not to say he doesn’t still love her. After lorry found out about Rick killing Shane I think she was distant towards him for a while and by the time she was ready to communicate the damage had been done . That’s why he’s even more unwilling to communicate now than he was post apocalyptic.

ammogreed

That intro slaps and I love seeing all the crazy stuff you do while it plays

ammogreed

You're not alone in liking Darryls personality, fun fact he is not even in the comic books which is the source for this show. They did a really good job in writing him, and ofc Norman, the actor, does a great job. It's really inspiring seeing him give those two guys the empathy of a sorry about your friends. T Dog also helped get the ball moving for them in terms of not being left with the corpses aimless in where to start.

Zumanji

I came here to say the same thing 😂 I’m glad the writers didn’t follow the same vein (mentally) as the first 2 seasons, except for another where’s Carl moment when he snuck off the infirmary (I swear, get that child a toddler leash already 🤣). Makes me appreciate Lori’s growth as a character later on in the show.

Steven

Season 3 letssss gooooo i cant wait to see how you like this season

Reaction Therapy

You are very right that people should not stay married because of the children, they creates too much guilt for them later. However, I will say I’ve worked with a lot of people from law-enforcement, and they are trained to suppress emotion and to stay calm and to not be vulnerable because it makes them susceptible to an attack Therefore, I think Rick has learned to never open up and that’s why she’s saying the part about yelling at her because she wants to see him activated in someway rather than just keeping it together all the time. This is a classic couple I’ve seen in my office and I do believe they’re way more workable even though they have a ton of damage because it’s been going on for so long, so sometimes couples end up not staying together because it’s been decaying for too long I still think if the apocalypse never happened that Lori would probably end up having an affair somewhere down the road

SixFeetUnderKai

The Lori hate has always been over the top. Skylar White got the same treatment and Anna Gunn received death threats. It's so sad.

Reaction Therapy

This is why it’s hard to be a therapist…you have to take broken people and help them see how they can be healthy and functional😊🙏

@Korivex I wouldn't expect anyone to save me from anything, not even cops; that's yet another gender norm I don't agree with. Even in this show, the women defend themselves and camp equally. I feel everyone should be able to defend themselves, especially when so many women live alone or are in relationships with other women and don't have men to blindly rely on. Rick here opens up much less than he did before—which already wasn't much—but it's still her responsibility to shoulder emotions he won't share on her own? I sorta get your point, but it still sounds incredibly unequal to me; she's expected to be a mind reader, a therapist, a wife, a mother, a fighter, a partial leader, and mentally sound all at once with no support herself?

Korivex

I didn't say anyone has to save anyone... I'm saying that we all have our strengths and one of a woman's is emotional support.... men just aren't good at it in general. Lori doesn't need to be a mind reader... if I was in a relationship with a man who didn't open up much and wasn't comfortable being vulnerable... and then I slept with his best friend (I don't blame Lori for that the way most do) then this big problem arose between my husband and his friend leading the friend to try to kill my husband... forcing my husband to begrudgingly kill his friend.... then my husband opened up about the situation and I shut him down, act like I was mad at him and push him away like he was a monster.... then YES, I would feel it was my responsibility to burden the emotional distress of my husband... because I did this, I didn't give him a safe place to open up to the problem that I helped create and forced him into. As a woman, Lori has more experience dealing with emotions, understanding what someone else might be going through and IMO she should be the one to help regulate Rick.... not Rick trying to help her deal with her emotions as Tom said. Tom was giving the impression that it should be the man, Rick, who stands up and comforts the wife, Lori.... and I just don't agree with that. They should both communicate better, yes... but Lori should recognize what Rick is feeling and why he is feeling it and she should be comforting him.... unlike Tom saying that Rick should be comforting her.

Anson Heskey

I love your reactions mehnn....so insightful and right on point....I think what you may have missed where the show didn't give much between the seasons 2 and 3 ....was the thought that Lori scolded Rick for killing Shane and then letting Carl take him out also.....turning her back on Rick when he was being the most open and vulnerable which left him enraged later that night where the dictatorship (ricktatorship) started off.....I believe Lori started coming around as she realized he got them far enough for her to actually have the baby and the reality that she has to go through with her biggest fear in giving birth in an apocalypse.

Cody

I love how the first person Hershel goes to make contact with is Rick. Not because of anything negative with this daughter's, quite the opposite. Rick is the reason (main part anyway) that Hershel gets to live another day with his daughters. He'll be forever grateful for that blessing that Rick gave him.
