thoughts on pearl thorne

i don't hate thorne, but i wonder what okafor saw in her compared to rick because they're so different. from what we've seen of rick and the little we know about okafor, they're both willing to go against the chain of command/status quo to make things better for their communities. okafor even said in the first ep that "being the monster to fight the monsters can't last." and then after he told them about the echelon briefing he continued to press that the crm needs to change.

on the other hand, thorne seemed all in on the crm after their first secret meeting with okafor. when the news showed what happened to omaha (a lie and cover up by the crm) her first instinct was that people on the outside did it instead of asking questions. then after she received the echelon briefing she seemed even more indoctrinated by the crm to the point where she wants to eliminate anyone she sees as threat to the republic's plan.

i just don't get her angle. A's are supposed to be leaders and free thinkers, but she's very much exhibiting follower behavior. i know she was in the military before, so maybe she's just following command like she always did. still doesn't make sense why okafor would lump her and rick together.

Nah honestly I think whatever the Echelon briefing is, it scared the absolute shit out of her and now she’s grieving Okafor AND has to worry about whatever craziness the CRM have told her. She’s out of the blue in charge of part of the military, and only got the position because Okafor died. I’d say whatever is in the echelon briefing it has rocked her right while her world was already spiralling.

While people are complaining about Rick's behavior I'm out here enjoying his character's internal and emotional journey....I loved the third episode and wished there was an extra episode to explore and delve deeper into his trauma.

We may not agree with his approach , but we can still grasp his decision-making process.

That man mutilated his hand to flee and reunite with his family, with no regard for his own life....He showed no concern for his own life while trying to escape from the CRM, stating that he would persist in his attempts. However, his entire demeanor changed the instant they made threats against his loved ones, the reason he severed his hand, the reason behind his attempts to escape from the CRM, the reason he didn't give up hope, and the reason he kept living even when he felt suicidal...

He was prepared to face death in his pursuit of family reunion, but unwilling to jeopardize their safety or lose them in the process. Because deep down inside, he's fundamentally unchanged. While his capabilities may have diminished and he may carry the burden of past trauma, Rick's commitment to safeguarding his family has remained steadfast.

YES. I’m sick of hearing how “so unlike Rick” this is, how he’s changed so much etc etc BRO THE MAN IS TRYING TO KEEP EVERYONE ALIVE AS PER FLIPPING USUAL ARE WE REALLY THAT SURPRISED?!?!
