* Wow, I have zero fucks to give about Alexandria except for Michonne. I also can't remember who half of them are/tell them apart. Too many generic white men, as if from a vat. Watching "Talking dead," I was thinking Lou Diamond Phillips is still terribly good looking after all these years, but he seems to radically underestimate the violence, danger, and determination of the female characters. He listed the dangerous people in the Alexandria group at start of season and left out Michonne, Maggie, and Rositia, all of whom are tougher, brighter, and angrier than Rick. Just saying. I do agree wit Mr. Phillips that this is the time for Carol style covert fight back clever instead of waving balls around sort of situation. That's what you do when you have few resources up against an overwhelming foe. You appear compliant and you plan and you bide your time. Being really smart about picking when and how to resist is everything in that sort of situation. The moment it's clear how bad it is, you give the impression you'd give in and only move when you know everything you can about the enemy and you've planned out everything. Never, ever move at the points they expect it. Lul them and move when they think you are broken. I figured this out at the age of eight. I doubt Rick is even close to clever enough to figure it out. Also, Ron Funches is adorable. Ron Funches is always adorable. I loved his bit towards the end where he talks about the "true strength in women" regarding Michonne and Rosita. "A lot of times as guys, we're very blustery, we're very like, 'I wanna fight,' but when the chips go down, we're like, 'No, never mind. We'll do what you say.' But ladies, they're like, 'Oh, what? a Dude in a leather jacket whistles at me that's a creep? I dealt with this before!'"
