With Michonne ep 9, I do think her “mini arc” is meant to focus on her almost choosing to isolate herself again but changing her mind last minute. Really early in the episode she first sees the footsteps of Rick and Carl (which she went back to near the end), but purposely ignores them as a way of giving up hope and thinking they may be gone. Though after being alone for a while she has that nightmare about what her life used to be and losing others is what put her into that “walker pet ninja mode” till she met Andrea. Like you said, seeing that other black lady definitely made her think about herself and how she was “dead inside” and lost her humanity until she met others that brought her back (sounds a little corny in wording, but was more interesting on screen lol). That’s why she killed all those walkers instead of continuing to survive that old way she used to, and instead went back to the path to find the guys with optimism she’d find them again. I do think this is one of Michonne’s best seasons since it shows how much she grew since season 3, and in hindsight I defo think Mr. New Showrunner Scott Gimple was setting it up early that Michonne would take up Comic Andrea’s role as Rick’s love interest 💯
Some really great analysis here my friend. Fantastic stuff! Really made me see her parts of the episode differently now. Some very good writing from the writers here.
Luke and Molly were two kids from the prison group who had pretty much no relevance before being brought up here and found dead, so you guys are fine for not remembering them 😅
Comic Comparisons : The arc where Rick talks to Lori over the phone actually happens at this point in the comics after the prison battle because Lori’s death happens later in the comics than in the show Rick actually carries the phone with him.
Love when people tell us comparisons from the comics. This is so interesting! Think I liked the phone calls more where they were in the show, but definitely intesting placement in the comics.
Abraham was in the episode for 10 seconds and instantly displayed maximum aura 🙏
It was Luke and Molly unfortunately from the prison that Beth killed on the rr tracks. Scott Gimple confirmed it
Good that they confirmed it. So random otherwise.
