I'm not sure it's a "fuck everyone who isn't us" attitude. Almost everyone in the group now was "not us" at some point. I'm sure as he sees it, if he saw the need to take Alexandria over, he'd be doing everybody inside a favor.
(And he's probably right.)

Eugene did.

Glenn kicking Aiden's ass was ridiculously satisfying.
Mostly I just loved Rick in this episode. Seeing him without the beard and grime really emphasizes the way Lincoln has changed everything about Rick- the way he talks, the way he moves, the way he looks at people. And when he and Carl bumped into each other outside

Well sure, same as yours. Neither opinion is demonstrably provable, it's just a perception.

Sure, that happens with Glenn and Maggie, but I can think of very, very few other examples. They spent about as much time on the romantic connection between Aaron and Eric in that scene than they have on Rosita and Abraham in the entire series, and only slightly less than on Sasha and Bob. That's pretty significant.
Th

Yeah, I was raised by a very sensitive, progressive single mom, so I don't have much experience with this sort of thing.

I think there's good reason for Rick to seem crazy, though- he's had to take responsibility for this big group of people, including his family, in a world that is constantly trying to kill them at every turn. And even though he does his best and everybody would be dead without him, he still loses people regularly.

I'm not surprised. TWD probably has a pretty big fanbase of prepper rednecks, who aren't exactly the most progressive folks in the world.

Probably?

Nah, I definitely think he has a point. If Aaron was straight, I'm 99% sure they wouldn't have included that scene, or at least not in as much depth as they did. I don't think it's a particularly big deal, but it definitely isn't just in people's heads that the show was making a point of showing off the existence of a

I guess you can either interpret it as AMC being like "look guys! Gays!" or the show providing a way for Rick to see Aaron as a human being who's genuinely loving and decent when it doesn't serve his interests- and providing kind of an interesting situation for Rick to react to, as somehow I don't think a Sheriff from

I like how the show does a good job of measuring the degree to which Rick is a badass to the degree to which being a badass without completely forsaking human decency has completely destroyed him emotionally. The guy is an absolute wreck, and the way Lincoln makes those two aspects of his character flow together so

Hell yeah. Honestly, I really don't get people in these comments who act like TWD is simple-minded garbage for idiots. It just seems like hipsters balking because it's popular and acting like it's dumb will make them seem superior to anybody who genuinely enjoys it. I get criticizing dumb stuff because it's fun

There was a narrative purpose to that scene, and it was better in context. But that was by far the most brutal death in the entire comic, and yeah, it was really hard to look at. They're definitely going to repeat it on the show because of its narrative significance, unfortunately. I just hope they don't do it to the

I mean, he didn't drive off the road. That didn't look easy to me.

I think the show has done a better job of demonstrating how much being the leader has completely destroyed Rick as a person, but the comics made him a lot more likable. I dig both to varying degrees.

I despise applesauce. Maybe not to the point where I would risk my life to get out of eating it, but you never know.

Is that really a thing parents of gay people do? I'm not sure whether that scene is laughably ridiculous or kind of interesting.

I feel like it would be worst for women in general. So many UTIs.

Personally, I don't really care so much about whether or not I "buy stuff" anymore, unless it's just obnoxiously ridiculous. Especially with TWD, where people's criticisms are always that it's repetitive (of course it is, that's kinda the point), but then if it does anything interesting to break the repetition, it's
