I agree with squishy. I think Michonne has time to develop, but I agree with whoever said she doesn't have enough lines or screen time to grow. That's the problem thus far, but now that
she's met up with the main group
then she will blossom.
How can anyone say they like Andrea? Actually, it isn't that I have a problem with Andrea the character (although she's like way too loose for being a survivor in a zombie apocalypse, I mean, I know I'd have the urge to f*ck any living human of the opposite sex, but one was obviously crazy, and the other is obviously untrustworthy and manipulative... didn't you survive all this time by being careful?), it's that the actress who plays her is HORRIBLE! While watching last night's episode, she must have gone through 5-10 different accents, from southern drawl, to bad southern drawl, to worse southern drawl, to a non-region specific american accent, etc etc. And the scenes with her and the governor, aside from bad accents, were just cringeworthy, not only for the fact that they are completely unoriginal and you can see every line coming from a mile away, but also because they just completely take me out of that world. Basically as soon as she opened her mouth the illusion of living in some run down place in a zombie apocalypse disappears, and I'm just thinking, wow, "I'm about to watch a stupid whore flirt, which will lead to implied intercourse via the post-coital bed scene".
Ultimately, I think that aside from the really slow episodes in season 2, yesterday's episode was the worst one yet. Mostly because Andrea really wore on me, but also because
why is it that all of a sudden Daryl seems to have feelings? I'm talking about the whole baby talk thing when they're all back in C block and playing with Sophia/Amy/Little Ass Kicker, followed up by an out-of-nowhere heart-to-heart with Carl. It just seems out of character
. But then again, I will say that the last 10-15 minutes really made up for the shit of the episode. For one
I'm really glad that Rick was able to work through his feelings after losing Lori. I think that it was cool the way they made him go crazy for a little bit, but I like it when he's making moves and fucking shit up, but not in a way that puts Glenn or the others in danger. It was especially nice to see them close that up, because after putting up with all 6 seasons of LOST, I thought the phone was actually going to play an integral part of the rest of the season. And that would have just completely ruined the series for me
. And secondly
now that Michonne and Rick's group have met and her knowledge of Woodbury and Glenn, Maggie and Andrea being there, in the captivity of Merle no less, the rest of the season should be very exciting
I'm really pumped about where the series is going to go from here.
