An interesting episode, like you said, to lead into the finale. The happy times of Rick and Michonne’s beautiful romantic cabin weekend as you so perfectly described, at the beginning of the episode, were the sweetest. I felt bad too as this meant copyrighted music for you to contend with. God though, do I love Tony Bennett. I sympathized with Michonne on those novelty license plates. When she expressed never liking them, I noted, “I would imagine not.” That bit with the necklace was touching as all hell, and your reaction to it, hoo, did it hit me in the heart. Just as all your reactions to all the beautiful and wonderful and everything being amazing moments, as you described, hit me right square in the heart, Jess. I’m a hopeless romantic myself, much though I’ve been told I don’t seem like it, so I shared your savoring the sweet moments whilst we had them in this episode. The group they came across was awful, mostly. I say mostly because I felt bad for the lady. When they tried to rob our heroes, I said, “Yeah, I’m going to let Jess explain to you dipshits just how BAD a day you’re having by trying to fuck with Rick and Michonne.” and you did not disappoint. It is a nice feeling of vindication that Jadis was after our heroes, not for the fact that she’s after them, but that the writing came through. By that I mean, yeah, Jadis is eccentric and odd, but she’s not stupid. You and I both clocked that she would find it unbelievably suspicious with the timing. And I loved that what really did it was her going back just to satisfy the nagging feeling in her head, she sees the building is rubble with a very distinct looking vehicle that was there before gone, at which point two and two makes four, and she proceeds. I did like how you described your experience with Jadis. You mention she’s likely not ranking high on your favorites list for this universe, I would have to get back to you on where Jadis ranks on my list of the characters in The Walking Dead universe. I will say that I don’t see her matching or superseding Alpha, Negan, and Strand, they’re settled as my trifecta of favorites for this universe. I shared your laughs when Michonne asserts her intentions to kill Jadis, then take down the CRM. A big rule of the world: don’t piss off a motivated Hufflepuff, especially not one as badass as Michonne. You and I both had a “Well...” reaction to Jadis being bitten. It is, I concur, a somewhat sad moment, her final scene, complete with the snippets of her scenes past. I too didn’t shed many tears, but there was a stoic sadness to her death. One, just that feeling when a worthy adversary perishes, it gets you some. Two, her last moments were strikingly human. One line that got me some was her expressing that she would have liked to have died an artist. Now to Father Gabriel. Your reaction to the reveal that Father Gabriel is in this was worth the price of admission. To my knowledge, no, Father Gabriel was not announced as being in this. Mind you, I too avoided the trailers because I wanted to go in as unspoiled as possible whilst sharing the show with you. The information that came my way did not indicate that he would appear. I therefore surmise that his appearance was meant to be a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. I hear what you’re saying that you hoped we would see some of Rick’s family back when this was meant to be the movies, which when you mentioned Michonne was not originally part of that, I do recall Michonne being part of this, being a surprising development now I think about it. I would have been fine if nobody in his family showed up if we were getting a story of Rick completely separate from them, and what connections he’d make. Sort of like how we’ve seen Negan and Maggie outside of their comfort zones in their show. Or in Daryl’s show, the strong bonds he made with Isabelle and Laurent especially. It all depended on what story we were getting, and I’m glad, Jess, you got what you wanted. Similarly, I’m happy you enjoyed the scenes with Father Gabriel and Jadis. Very Same Time Next Year. Jadis probably made that comparison herself, likening her and Gabriel to Ellen Burstyn and Alan Alda. If so, she’s got good taste, I’ll give her points for that. I liked they both debated their past actions, how right or wrong they were, and would forgiveness be earned. I imagine Father Gabriel would say, “Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts. Proverbs 21:2” and indeed he pondered her heart, and sees Anne is still in there. Sad to see his grief in the end. I so adored your reaction when Rick gives Michonne the ring. One last highlight of the reaction that I wish to mention. I heard the mention of pierogi, and I instantly knew you’d have a reaction to it. Your little smile showed I was right, loved that. I thank you, Jess, for the lovely reaction, and I greatly appreciate everything you’ve said about the show, just as I’ve appreciated sharing the show with you. I greatly await the final episode, which is no doubt going to be memorable.
