THE WALKING DEAD: THE ONES WHO LIVE | 1.04 — "What We" Directed by Michael Slovis Written by Danai Gurira
EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The episode (4) has so much, but this specific scene really got me & is less frequently talked about.
I think as a woman, specifically a Black woman (because God forbid y’all show us with emotional range), this walk off really resonates in that realm of being so fed up you’re exhausted, but this exhaustion comes at the expense of an ‘other’ — the other in this case being the building crumbling around them, as well as them and their children’s relationship
Which is why the few moments for them after is approached so much more softer — for different reasons.
For Rick, while his opinion is still not yet changed, he does go into those next conversations super aware that she is at her breaking point.
Hence the ‘over compensation’ in affirmations of his love but also devotion with ‘that’s never happening’ & ‘you never have to thank me’. (which even she rightfully expresses she needed to hear)
& then when he does try to convince her again, it’s woven into an already talked about story so the approach is light. Atp, no argument is given and in fact the subject is even changed when confronted.
Comparing to Michonne. Whose approach is also soft, however the softness is set more in defeat. That plays out in the way she tells the scars episode story. As an audience we know how bad that story was but she tells it in an almost ‘what’s the point, what would it change’ tone.
& while all that eventually leads into the beautiful scene we see after, the set up for the scene was some very well written story telling.
Writing and acting at its finest.
TOWL EP 4 is just 😭😭😭😭 WOW. I’m in awe of the beautiful heights this episode reached. Still searching for the exact words and sorting through the many emotions to even begin to describe the experience of this episode. The vulnerability, the passion, finally hearing them talk about RJ, the memory of Carl. 😭Danai and Andy absolutely killed it and I’m proud of Danai for writing this ep like she’s blood family or something.
It’s moving episodes like this that make me feel so grateful that Richonne’s love story exists in the world. It’s seriously something special. Richonne has always been a work of art and Danai and Andy beautifully captured what makes Rick and Michonne soar together. Like…WOW.
~ written from above because I’ve officially ascended 😇
Nothing, just Judith’s parents making sure she gets her book 🥹
How did I miss the book!!!!!! Time for another rewatch just to make sure I didn't miss anything else...
Rick Grimes you have to stop. Your yearning too strong. Your love too beautiful. Your wife too bad. They’ll kill you.
Outside of Mr. ‘we are broken’ being a loverboy, I love the callback to her gas attack recovery and how even as ‘A’ as she is, Michonne has also really been through some shit, one of which has lasting effects.
For all of you nasty dumpster Richonne fanatics who are analyzing every kiss and moan of episode 2....
Keep going!!
🤣🤣🤣 me too
Michonne got that “MY MAN MY MAN MY MAN” smile 😂😭
Ain't he fine!- Michonne
Ok… I know it’s a lot to ask but… what has been your fave favorite favoritest of all those Richonne moments we’ve had?! 😫 I can’t make up my mind. Like the 🍕🍕 and 💍 was sooo good but then they met. Kiss. More kiss. Love yous flying around. Desperation ( my desperation mostly 😭😭) and then the ‘let’s kiss where no one can see us’ teenager vibes. Michonne’s knowing smile, Rick couldn’t wait to get his hands on her 😭😭😭😭 and the MOANS 😭😭😭 I can’t.
Or maybe the best part is imagining how terrible horrible time Jadis is going to have (deservedly so) when Michonne finds out everything and have her in front of her. *evil laugh* coz… f$ck her. 🙄
Alright. Let me go take a nap or something.
It’s fine. Im fine. Everything is FINE. 🤪🤪🤪
She needs to be handled STAT!
Ok which one of my favorite Richonne fanfic writers secretly work on TOWL’s script. I swear I know one of y’all had something to do with this shows writing!!!
This is what happens when you let Andy and Danai (captains of our Richonne ship) run this show.
Hmmm, so many to choose from.
im so normal about this :)
