Jessie was ok but there is a stronger badass woman out there for him!

Well look at you just predicting the future like a boss! I said something was up with those two based on the opening scene of this week's episode.

yea but I didn't see THAT coming...LOL.

So weird to see these 2 comments so far as the only on Rick and Michonne hooking up...Richonne lol Maybe some people taped it and haven't watched it yet. I for one thought it was great they finally got together--its just realistic and an organic progression like Danai said on Talking Dead. It kind of reminded me of that scene from Monster's Ball with Halle Berry and Billy Bob Thornton--without all the drama.

Chris Hardwick had some great lines about it. lol

As for the scenes with "Jesus", I though they felt more Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and comic bookish--which may have been what they were going for--nothing too serious...just having fun.

I was overjoyed to see Rick & Michonne finally get it on. I have been hoping for that for a while.

On The Talking Dead it said that Andy Lincoln and Norman Reedus watched Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid prior to filming this episode.

I saw that too on Talking Dead--about them watching the movie before filming the episode. That's where I got it from. I myself have never seen the film--I'm not that hip

Ugh. My buddy said he read or watched somewhere that they claimed this ep was going to be even crazier than last weeks. Lame. It was the same predictable, have a crazy episode and follow it up with a slow moving everyone-is-happy one. Keep the pace up. Stop the same cycle.

And Richonne. Ugh. His fucking last girlfriend just got eaten two weeks ago. He gets over shit pretty fast these days.

"His last girlfriend just got eaten two weeks ago. He gets over shit pretty fast these days."

First off, they said it was about 2 months later from last week's episode. That's a lot of time in a survival world like that when you could die tomorrow easily. Rick and the blonde girl only kissed and flirted from what I'm aware of. If there was more they didn't show it (garage scene?), so that would mean Rick has gone for how long now without any...atleast a year or so? Most of you guys couldn't even fathom that in this world. Most guys I've seen in real life whose girlfriend or wife dies, are with someone or remarried within a year or so. That's not a good testament to the self-control of the male species. Plus, what about the idea of Rick being on the rebound?

Maybe they should have waited a couple episodes to heat things up with Rick and Michonne but it has been a long time coming with those 2. I'm sure they're getting a good backlash from all the conservative women who watch and say the same thing about him "getting over shit pretty fast these days". Every woman wants to think that she is so special that their guy would just be beside himself for years if she was out of the picture----bullshit! Get over yourselves people. We're all just dust in the wind.

missed the whole two month reference...

agree totally with this second comment of all yours

Thank you JWPearl.

Ha! The Benny Hill thing is fucking awesome. Would have been even better if they did it as part of the show as a tip of the cap as to how silly that scene was.

Michonne is a badass and super reliable/trustworthy/loyal. Seems like a good fit for Rick.

of course it was going to happen. I asked my buddy who reads the comics weeks ago if they get together, as I assumed it was going to happen eventually.

my bad. two months. I thought they said 2 weeks. whatever. it was obviously a comment made in jest anyways. it was just that Rick seemed pretty broken up about Jessie being eaten (kinda like when Lori died) for it to be nothing to him.

"not a good testament of the self control of the male species"? it's called natural instinct. jesus.

lighten up a bit.

lol...sorry. I was a little over-emotional yesterday. lol So do Rick and Michonne hook up in the comics too? My brother reads them too and watches--he never mentioned it--just mentioned the Jesus character coming from Neegan's camp but still being a good guy? I guess we'll see...too invested in this damn show now to stop. lol

I'm sure it was something special to Rick with Jessie. I think they should have waited a couple episodes before the Michonne "moment".

this show has a funny following. there is the demographic that watch it because they love the comics, and then there is the demographic that watch it because it's the most popular show on TV and those are the ones that are typically the most harsh on episodes without knowing the story via comic books and not knowing that this show is following a very specific path.

sure, there are some slow episodes here and there. but there is always a purpose and an overall contribution to the story (except that beth & daryl episode -- that was just terrible).

i suggest everyone that cares enough about the show to purchase the compendium books cheap on amazon and read up to the at least to the point they are at in the show now. the books are twisted --- lots of sex, much more violence, torture. they had to HEAVILY edit certain plot points on the show to make it work for television. even read slightly ahead of where the show is now to see where the show is going, so when the next thing that happens that someone doesn't agree with, you will realize they are just following the path.

I don't fit into any of those categories. I watch it cause I love the show. I didn't like this episode because a) at the time I believed only 2 weeks had passed, b) I'm not a massive fan of the same formula they keep using (massively action packed episode followed by the group falling into a domestic and happy way of life), and c) I really didn't like Richonne. when they were sitting on the couch, it was like they were talking like Rick just got home from a day at the office. Yes, I get it. that's exactly what they were trying to do. But after all this time, those two had never even had an inkling of chemistry, now all of a sudden? it should have been built a bit more; that's all.

looking forward to this jesus guy though. seems like he's going to be a massive pain in the ass.

So when is Michonne going to bite it?
All of Ricks ladies seem to meet untimely dooms
