First off, nicely done with the color coordination with the red. Quite an episode of everyone stressing you out. It is a strength of the episode, as you observed, Danai selling Michonne’s thought processes largely through expression alone. And she gave some killer looks. Much though she didn’t do the best job of keeping a low profile, you can’t keep Michonne down; she’s going to do what she’s got to do. Rather tellingly, Jadis correctly expressed doubt that Michonne truly did leave. Which brings us to her and Rick’s decisions throughout this episode. As you said, it is a strength of this show that we had the first two episodes showcase how our leads reached the points that they’re at. Last episode, we saw everything Michonne went through in order to get to Rick again. In the first episode, we bore witness to the slow transition of Rick having faith, and said faith being crushed into the dirt so many times, that he now believes he can never leave. He will hate himself for staying behind whilst she escapes and reunites with Judith. (R. J. too, but he doesn’t know that.) And he knows that if she gets out safe and free, he’ll hate himself with a clear conscience. Shame about the broken heart that would result though. At least he gets for her, her katana back. A man reuniting his wife with her katana, a sign of true love right there. I love how you expressed a similar sentiment that such an act was quite romantic. It leaves me with the thoughts that you expressed which were that though you’re completely sympathetic to Michonne’s anger at Rick for trying to make her leave, you understand fully where Rick is coming from. Although now, Michonne grabbed Rick and they took a leap from the chopper. I greatly look forward to how that’s going to play out. Jadis sure is a piece of work in this. Your reactions to all her scenes were most memorable, especially your reaction to Rick’s description of Jadis having a shit haircut was exactly what I was expecting, Jess. I laughed myself noting that Rick isn’t wrong, and a half-assed Moe Howard hairstyle is a curious choice. I also had a similar thought that you did when Jadis chucked her basket of fries into the trashcan. She’s not wrong about onion rings. I also concurred, by the way, with your observations of everyone rather rudely helping themselves to Rick’s booze. Thorne is nicely grey and has been quite fascinating. To answer your one question, if she doesn’t outright suspect, she’s likely, as you said, the wheels are turning that she likely concludes there’s more than Rick is telling her where it concerns Michonne. I certainly think she doesn’t entirely know as of this episode, hence her attempts to kill Michonne, your reactions to those scenes being marvelous, by the way. My comment was, “Ma’am, I don’t think you fully grasp what a horrifically BAD idea it would be to do what you are about to do.” I suspect her focus on the greater good, or whatever the fuck the CRM is cooking up is keeping all the pieces falling into place, though the sudden yeeting out the helicopter will likely move things along. The mission was a great sequence. Particularly when Rick and Michonne worked together and it being akin to a cute little date, as you put it, which for them, it probably would be. When Thorne yells at the breaking of protocol, I also expressed as you did, that they did complete the mission, and I chimed in, “They did their job, more they saved your ass. So, maybe show a little appreciation.” Concerning Beale, one, Terry is proving great in the role with thus far, minimal screentime. And yes, Beale has a sword. Michonne has a sword. Both swords are inscribed with the name Anton Chekhov, presumably. Therefore, I would be agreeable to what you want to see happen. Now if only we can get Strand into the mix. He did, as I recall, have quite the fancy sword himself, yes? The three of them, crossing blades, locked in an epic battle. Play some John Williams by having Duel of the Fates set the mood perfectly. It would be fantastic, just as your reactions, Jess, to the first half of this have been so wonderfully fantastic. Thank you for the terrific reaction.
