The Walking Dead – “When The Dead Come Knocking”
- When last week’s episode ended with Maggie and Glenn kidnapped by Merle and the Governor in Woodbury, I turned to my boyfriend and said something like “I have deep concerns for them, especially Maggie.” Sometimes I really hate being right. While it was not nearly as bad as I feared based on my knowledge of the comics, it was absolutely brutal watching Maggie nearly raped by the Governor. We’ve seen some really horrific stuff on this show, but that may be the scene that freaked me out the most. Seeing Glenn beaten up by Merle wasn’t much fun either, especially when Merle let a walker loose in the room while Glenn was STILL TAPED TO A CHAIR (seriously, guys, WTF?!). I was pretty impressed with how stone-faced Glenn was – and how he was able to fight off the walker.
- I was so glad Rick and Carl finally had a conversation about what happened to Lori. They didn’t say much, but after Rick had barely spoken to him for most of the last few episodes, it was long overdue. Plus, now the baby has a real name – Judith! I’m so glad they didn’t name her after one of their fallen friends because, seriously, what a drag. Good for Carl for naming her after someone from “before”.
- Yvette Nicole Brown (who is awesome) mentioned on Talking Dead that she thinks Michonne is almost like a computer – constantly calculating her next move, and who needs to know what information when, and so on. I thought that was a GREAT insight into the character. After spending 8 months with Andrea, I find it hard to believe Michonne doesn’t realize she’s stumbled upon the group from the farm. But she never brought that up. She also never mentioned Merle by name, despite knowing his brother was part of the group (and let’s be honest, it has to be pretty obvious that it’s Daryl). She only gave them the bare minimum of information they needed so she could get her leg fixed and get back to Woodbury, this time with reinforcements. I’m very curious to see what she does when she gets back to Woodbury – does she help the group? Does she run off to try to convince Andrea to leave again? Or does she go off on some crazy revenge mission? Could go any number of ways.
