9.05 | What Comes After

This show just keeps delivering! What a feeling to be excited by The Walking Dead content again. We almost don't know what to do with ourselves!

The closest Michonne can bring herself to being a B is an A-. Some lamps cannot be hidden under a bushel! Meanwhile, the past and the present comes crashing into Rick as he both can't stay away from Michonne but also can't reconcile her being in this place with him. There are also the pesky issues of Jadis still buzzing around and Thorne becoming increasingly suspicious of "Dana." Sounds like Rick and Michonne might need a timeout from all this scrutiny.

Two episodes down already!

While last week was all about how Rick spent his seven years away from his family, this week picks up right where The Walking Dead left Michonne -- helping two survivors hop along to catch up with their Oregon Trail community, and meeting an immediate ride-or-die friend in a man named Nat. As if Michonne wasn't going to have enough reason to hate CRM for kidnapping her man, they engage in brutal chemical warfare against Michonne's group. Just when it seems as if all hope is gone and Michonne decides that she has to give up the search for Rick, he quite literally falls out of the sky into her lap. Unfortunately, they're barely able to process this miracle before they are thrust into another life or death situation. Michonne allows herself to be captured to give her and Rick time to figure out an escape. Though our feelings on the episode differed from each other in many key parts, we're quite ready for these spy games to begin. Even if it means we have to deal with Jadis again.

Hello friends. It is a pure miracle we've gotten this far, in both the #Richonne fandom and also us, Melissa and Kia, remembering how any of this stuff works after a Rick Grimes length hiatus away from it all. But just like Andy, Danai and Gimple, we keep our promises and when we said we'd be back when Rick was, WE'RE BACK NOW THAT RICK IS!!!!! And what a reunion it was. From the opening scene with our man's eyes full of tears we were immediately ready to take this journey with Michonne and Rick because a) we only support winners and b) they are the ones who live.

And what a journey it was: a secret city, a secret army, a secret plan, a secret mission, secret desires. Secrets on secrets on secrets! Let's discuss them all!

On this bonus episode of Two Dead Chicks Podcast, Kia and Mel discuss fan/media conventions, the differences between the two, and how to navigate them. They also talk about how to set realistic expectations for your experience, things to do (and definitely not do), how much a fan experience can really cost and maybe which one not to go to.

In a shocking turn of events, we actually showed back up to do this recap of season 9 of The Walking Dead, five months late.

We talk about that light that dimmed in our hearts once our main man was taken away, what it would take to pull us back into being a diehard fan and a look back at this little zombie show that changed our worlds.

Remember to email us at twodeadchicks@gmail.com if you want to send us a voice memo/email/video to be a part of our final-ish episode. We're accepting submissions until April 18, 2019. And now...

 

The season 9 finale of The Walking Dead walked 500 miles to be one of the whelmiest finales we've experienced. Hop in the car and go with us as we pretend to be surprised that:

a) a flea market with rugs, CPR lessons and wooden tokens didn't provide the necessary resources to combat the rot, locusts, frogs, fires or any of the other plagues God has rained down on the Kingdom

b) Carol ghosted when times got tough

c) Negan saved both a child and a dog, just in case we didn't get the hint that the redemption train is a-comin'

d) Michonne is always right and a bad ass. Facts is facts.

On the penultimate episode of season 9 of The Walking Dead, we finally arrived at the fair or whatever this was. We watched in amazement as Alpha infiltrated the fair and then magically changed day to night and filthy to clean in a matter of mere moments. We also watched as Alpha impersonated a regular person named ‘Debbie’ and learned that normal just ain’t a life Alpha is gonna be living. 

We had a lot of losses during this episode…..or did we? We didn’t recognize seven of the ten pike victims and we didn’t really care about the other three. (DEATH TO HENRY!!!)  Though we liked the call back to season 2 with Carol and Daryl when Sophia came out of the barn, we felt the much anticipated pike scene just didn’t pack the emotional punch (or any punch, for that matter) that we were promised.

OK. Where do we begin with this long-awaited episode of The Walking Dead? Our friend Tai Gooden helps us break this down.

 

What started as excitement to see our main woman, Michonne (Danai Gurira), step into the spotlight turned to horror over what we were watching. The kids? Eff them kids. Yes, they deserved to die and we hope they burn in hell! No, we were more than a little disgusted to see Michonne brutalized again. Tussling with the Governor's men? Check. Savage fight with the actual Governor? Check. Beat up by a MMA fighter disguised as a trash lady? Check. Knocked out by a demon child while pregnant? Check. Branded while pregnant? Check. Beaten with a wooden board while pregnant? Check. Had to kill a bunch of Children of the Corn to rescue her daughter who was abducted by a close friend from before the world ended? Check. Had her heavily pregnant belly slashed by a 6-year-old? Check. While he was at it, why didn't he just cut RJ out for good measure?

 

And we're still confused about the actual point of this. Was this supposed to explain why Maggie and Tara have an attitude with Michonne? Or why Michonne don't want no new friends? We get it. Sometimes, in the zombie apocalypse, you meet people and they try to eat you. No wait-- you meet people and they try to take half of your stuff and make you slaves. No, that's not it. Here we go: you meet people and they kill you and carve a "W" in your head. See where we're going? This ain't new. Not sure why we needed to see Michonne kill some kids?

 

By the way, thanks for all the help, Daryl. And Judith, go to your room!

 

On the plus side, Danai was phenomenal. As if there was any doubt. We saw RJ and he's the perfect kid. And Jocelyn, if nothing else, gave us the perfect tagline for these Richonne movies: Go Find Your Man.
