I thought they were very cinematic.
I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

Yeah, I think it's been pretty good lately.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Not including last night's episode, which I haven't seen yet. The one with Lennie James was so good, and since then it's been all blah blah talk and poor decision making.

Well, at least Andrea finally made a good decision. That almost counts as character development!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I'm not sure if I think the previous two eps of TWD have been "terrible" - but I cannot get over the character assassination of Andrea. I just can't get over it. I have no idea why the writers thought it was good for them to portray Andrea the ways they have, but it is ridiculous. I cannot remain in the show because just about every time she is on screen I have thought bubbles about her character, her actions, the things she says, that take me right out of the show.
Last night's episode, my one comment to Beau was: "so help me, if at this point Michonne gets brutalized, I'm out. I'm serious."

From the ending of last week's episode, it seems they may give that to Andrea instead.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I agree with you and what I thought was going to happen based on the end of last week's ep. I kind of wish they had decided to go as far as they needed to with Maggie.
Now, if Andrea gets roughed up, it's like she "deserved" it because she was so fucking stupid/trusting along the way. We already know how brutal the governor is, can the viewers be spared more of this bullshit, please?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How is Andrea's character being assassinated? Doesn't that imply she was portrayed in a way that could be damaged? I'm not clear on exactly how much we (and maybe Michonne) knew about the Governor that she didn't, but she was literally in bed with the enemy when she could technically have her pick of the entire post-apocalypse and she failed to see anything wrong or creepy about him way past Michonne being counter-productively laconic.
One of the IO9 editors posted a very Guv-sympathetic post bunch of episodes back. Post Glenn and Maggie torment, and he was all "He's got a tough job! Look at all the positive things he's achieved! A room full of heads isn't weird, and he just misses his family..." So if he could fall for that, maybe Andrea was understandably blind?
No, I don't get it either. But it wouldn't have killed (like, literally would work towards not killing her) Michonne to explain stuff a bit better, instead of seeming so cuckolded. Though, if they had been making the undead beast with two backs until Andrea got into range of either power or penis, that would be interesting.

Yeah, that makes me uncomfortable too. I mean, I was rooting for her to be killed off as much as anyone, but she was winning me over when she finally chose a fucking side, so I don't wish what looks to be coming onto her.
