The Walking Dead Midseason Finale 3.8: “Made To Suffer” (And How)

Joe: Hey there, Shane! Goodbye, T-Dog, #2 (Interesting…they introduced one black character at the beginning of this episode only to kill Oscar 20 minutes later?) Daryl, look for your brother after the shooting!  Maggie! stop drawing attention to yourself by screaming like that, but good call on shooting Oscar in the head. I totally would have forgotten!

Yeesh! This battle royale scene is chock full of activity isn’t it? I can’t take notes fast enough.

Ken: Do they have a quota on the number of black or Asian characters on the show? It’s getting pretty blatant.

Carly: I said the same thing, watching that, about the quota.

Joe: It’s almost like the black men on the show are running a really, really depressing relay race.

Carly: Why wouldn’t they show Michonne reacting to her pets being in the tanks?

Joe: I think Danai Gurira (Michonne) actually looked at the one in the tank and reacted, but the camerawork didn’t make a point of it. I mean, that’s basically the reason she killed his daughter because, thanks to him, she was forced to kill her zombie companions. Who, by the way, still haven’t been introduced officially.

Carly: This episode is a whole new level of horrifying for this season.

Joe: That was a great fight scene between the Governor and Michonne. I was convinced hoping Michonne was going to chuck a biting zombie head at him.

Carly: I completely forgot that Merle lied about Michonne being dead. We all knew it wasn’t gonna go over well, but when the lead-up involves The Governor losing his daughter and an eye? Hoo, boy.

Carly: Huge kudos to Danai Gurira showing the depth of Michonne while saying, “You need me,” and so clearly emoting how much she needs them in return. At least in this moment. This whole episode has been such a great range for her after so much stagnation.

Joe: I’d submit this episode for Emmy consideration if I were them. Emmys for everyone! Especially Michonne, Glenn, and the Governor. The chops on display!

Carly: Apparently brother-battles makes the Governor’s eye bleed profusely.

Joe: He’s also noticeably disheveled–I mean, he just lost an eye, so I give him a pass. But I don’t think he would usually let the townsfolk see him that way.

Ken: “Excuse me, do I have something in my eye?”

Well, looking closely at this picture ruins the effect of the glass-in-eye-socket thing. Womp womp.
