Interesting that Carol and Daryl's dynamic is now a reversal of how they were a couple seasons ago, with Daryl in the position of trying to convince Carol that she has a place in the group and shouldn't leave like a lone wolf. I'm guessing the moment with the water jugs was unscripted? Their reactions were genuinely…

IIRC Rick told Daryl about Carol's banishment at the prison. I remember Daryl saying something like "that ain't her" and disbelieving it, but then everything went down with the Governor's last attack and no one had any time to dwell on it.

Robin Lord Taylor had a better time in a kitchen than he did on The Walking Dead on Sunday.

That was mentioned pretty quickly in the first train car scene where they were improvising weapons. IIRC it was Abraham who said as soon as they mentioned Washington, they were locked up.

Gareth's the only one I think we'll see again. Denise Crosby wasn't going anywhere with that shot leg, and I don't think Carol would have left until she was sure she finished the job.

Unfortunately this isn't Return of the Living Dead.

Carol's characterization is also on a completely different trajectory than her comic counterpart's, thankfully. (I cringe a bit whenever the showrunners say they're taking more stuff from the comic, because I really can't stand the writing there.)

I would have watched a season of Carol and baby Penguin teaming up, to be fair.

Carol walking through the burning gates of Terminus in her bloody poncho and surrounded by her zombie legions was a fucking AMAZING shot. Carol annihilating everything in her path was my dream for the season premiere, and it was great to see it happen. Darryl running to Carol and hugging her and putting his head on…

When Barbara opened the door for the supervillain, I was half-expecting her to be shot in a homage to "The Killing Joke." (Yes, she's not that Barbara, but still.)

He also has a weird, penguin-like waddle walk, which you can't really see until Gordon is pushing him around the pier and in the next episode preview.

I was surprised that the movie actually acknowledged that Mark-Paul Gosselaar was Indonesian on his mother's side and dyed his hair blonde to better pass for "white." Too bad no one's characterization was deeper than that.

Zuko's daughter is (presumably) Iroh II's mom and Zuko wouldn't have stepped down from the throne to let her rule if she was Azula-level crazy, so I think his family tree turned out fine.

And Toph was a cop for most of her life, and close friends with the Fire Lord and members of Republic City's council. Toph being an ally of a group that wants to tear down all government makes no sense.

The huge pile of baby supplies Margaret found with the monster got way creepier after we found out what it really did to Joshua.

Pema just meant that she would have liked a child that took more after her, not that she resented having multiple kids with Tenzin at all.

I honestly think Lin and Tenzin just grew apart. Look at their personalities—is it really likely that a romantic relationship between them would have lasted? They strike me as the kind of couple who were childhood sweethearts, and who everyone—especially their parents—assumed would always be together, but then they…

Wild Speculation Time: Who wants to bet that Zaheer killed Sokka?

"Beach Games" is probably my favorite episode of The Office ever—I recently caught a late night re-run and the ending was surprisingly emotional for me.

Bianca's been trying to get a movie project, "Hurricane Bianca," off the ground and funded, and I'm sure winning the crown & money and expanding her fanbase on the show will help her projects.
