Does it seem like The
Walking Dead is getting a dry sense of humor in its old age? I am amused by
all the wordplay on Jesus’ name (“Jesus is waiting outside,” “Jesus says this,”
“Jesus says that,” etc.). I also thought it was funny when the camera captured
him from the chest up in an off-white shirt that could pass for a biblical
tunic. All that was missing was backlighting him so he could look like he had a
halo.
I also thought it was funny when most of the cast saw Rick
and Michonne emerging from the same bedroom for the first time. I’m sure people
were happy for them but it was a “cat’s out of the bag” moment. It was sweet
for Rick to be concerned with what Carl thought but of course he supports the
relationship because Michonne has been a mother figure to him for several
seasons.
Also funny: Abraham’s question to Glenn that “When you were
pouring the Bisquick, were you trying to make pancakes?” That will be a new
euphemism to add to our culture’s repertoire on pregnancy. I don’t know what’s
going on with Abraham but he seems either at peace or wistful or something. Is
he attracted to Sasha? And what about Glenn and Maggie’s baby? Glenn seemed a
little unsure after getting the ultrasound. Is he having doubts after Abraham
made comments about how it may be crazy to bring a kid into that world?
Meanwhile, master negotiator Maggie makes a deal with the
Hilltop gang for half their food in exchange for killing Negan. I’m sure the
upcoming raid will be some kind of disaster that will kill some people but I eagerly
await the entertainment as it seems like it will almost be like a spy caper.
These days, I am just seeking amusement from this show.
Any theories on what Carol has been doing lately? Baking a
casserole? Sleeping off a concussion? Scaring little kids? Stabbing attackers
in the face? Having a pissing contest with Morgan? All of the above?
