The Walking Dead Recap
The Walking Dead's opening credits play. Later, the trio debate their best course of action. The guidance of Princess is the best option from Eugene and Ezekiel's perspectives. Josh Wigler and Jessica Liese recap “The Walking Dead,” AMC’s landmark zombie drama based on Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard’s comic book of the same name. In addition to covering the flagship “Walking Dead,” Josh and Jess occasionally check in on other corners of the apocalypse, including “Fear the Walking Dead” and “The Walking Dead: World Beyond.”.
Michonne may not have been with The Walking Dead since the very first episode of the very first season, but just like 's Rick, she made an impact. She did so even before entering the playing field of the show; the character's comic book legacy speaks for itself. She's been absent from the show since when she first met Virgil (played by Kevin Carroll) and decided to return him by boat to his family on a remote island, where he promised a stash of military ammunition that could aid them in the war against the Whisperers would be waiting for her. A lot has gone down in her absence, and now she's only back for one hour to say goodbye. Maybe that's just because of Gurira's hectic schedule. But it's a goodbye that, for the vast majority, did not feel all that unique. It felt in part like a replay of.
Rick, losing blood and his wits running away from a herd of walkers with an open wound, found himself hallucinating figures from his past. So, too, does Michonne.
But while Rick's ghosts were new performances by Walking Dead actors, Michonne's ghosts seemed to be comprised of old footage from the show. It's only in the final moments of the hour when we learn, narratively speaking, why Michonne won't be back.
What could possibly compel her to leave her children and her family at Alexandria? It's really there where the spark of anticipation for what's next for this character rises to excitement, but there's no telling when these movies will see the light of day, especially as the coronavirus situation continually postpones film releases and productions. So, for now, we're just left imagining what could be — just as the episode itself tries to do. So, let's start from the beginning. As that turns out, that means the character's beginnings on the show.We appear to flashback to the day when Michonne, walking alone with her two docile walker guardians through the woods, finds Andrea fleeing Hershel's overrun farm. She watches as Andrea falls to the ground, frantically struggling to crawl with the dead. This we've all seen before in season 2.
What we haven't seen is Michonne, instead of running in to save her — which is what should happen — turns her back and walks away, leaving Andrea to die. Image zoomFlashing to the present, we see Michonne succeeded in bringing Virgil to the island, which has its own history. It's an abandoned U.S. Navy Research Facility. A map they walk past sees spray paint designating the locations of five different groups across the island. But soon Michonne feels that something is off with Virgil. He's taking his time to pick herbs (which have various properties and foreshadow the psychedelics to come), they walk past an abandoned trash can fire surrounded by chairs and stacks of books used for communal storytime, and he's being increasingly vague about where the ammunitions are.
Applying a little pressure to Virgil (i.e. Her sword), she learns that his family is dead and that he really brought her to the island to help him clear out a building full of walkers so that he could retrieve their bodies for burial. Frustrated but with little choice if she wants to get the ammunition, she does so. Hacking her way through the dead, she finds a room where a number of walkers are hanging from the ceiling. Virgil's wife is one of them.
He's finally able to bury his family, but he's still rambling about his children, ignoring Michonne's pleas to give her the weapons so she can go home to save her own family. He claims the tide will be low at dark, preventing her from making it through the channel. So, she should stay the night and look for the weapons in the morning. Michonne can't sleep, however, and goes on the hunt for whatever she can. That's when she hears whispers. She follows the faint voices past a series of empty animal kennels and finds herself locked in a room by Virgil.
She fell asleep in her cell during the night and awoke to find Virgil had snuck in to grab her sword, but he left her food. Drugged food, that is, that forces Michonne to see visions, and the first ghost to appear is Siddiq, who blames her for his death. Virgil feels a connection to Michonne, that she's just as in pain as he is and he must make her see. Only God knows. Then an apparition in the guise of her hooded past self sends her back in time to see what could've been of her life if she hadn't saved Andrea that day. In this alternate timeline, Michonne goes back to grab a knife and water jug off of Andrea's remains.
How could someone f-up a remake this bad?First of all, the buttons are out of whack. Tecmo super bowl 2020.
The supplies don't last her long. She finds herself walking down the street, desperately trying to flag down Daryl in his car for help. But he chooses to leave her behind. Now completely alone, she comes across Negan, who welcomes her as a Savior.
She rises through the ranks to become his right hand. She kills Glenn and Heath when they sneak into one of their bases in the night, and on the fateful night when Negan kills Abraham, it's now Michonne swinging the bat and it's a vision of herself that she strikes down. We then rush forward to see how the war against Negan would've played out with Michonne on his side. Short answer, not well. It ends with Daryl firing an arrow through her chest and Rick shooting a bullet into her head.
But there's still the issue at hand, the reason she came all this way: the weapons. She searched everywhere she could and didn't find anything. What she does find, though, is a pair of cowboy boots the same cowboy boots once worn by Rick. She forces Virgil to take her to where he found them: an abandoned ship that washed up in a nearby bay. She finds a broken cell phone with the name 'rick' carved at the top and drawings of Michonne and Judith on the glass. Virgil says he never met Rick, but it inspires hope in her that he's still alive somewhere. When she arrives on the mainland, now somewhere between Virginia and New Jersey, Michonne takes a cue from her former self.
She finds two walkers, cuts off their arms and their mouths, and ropes them up to be her new protectors on her journey. But where will she go?
She doesn't really have any leads to find Rick. At least, not yet.
Semblance game. Two people, an injured man, and a woman propping him up, stumble out of the tree line. They ask for help because 'they' will leave without them if they don't hurry. Michonne looks off beyond the field and down into the clearing where a massive caravan of people, horses, and carriages have assembled. Remembering how Rick once took a chance on her at the prison, Michonne kills her walkers, turns to help these two strangers, and all three make their way to this new group.
