when i watched x men origins today i expected to foam at the mouth over hugh hackman but i won’t lie…

lynn collins is DOING SOMETHING TO ME and i don’t LIKE IT

like when she played Leah in twd i was like “ok she’s hot but idk about her character”

i’m tired of living in denial she’s so gorgeous

she’s GREAT as serving a distraction to the lead male i’ll give her that

TWD lovelies,

If the AMC executives had followed the game plan, we would have had a season devoted entirely to the Reapers targeting Alexandria while Season 12 would have fleshed out the Commonwealth story arc.

What would you have wanted to see more of? Personally, I would have loved to learn more about the resistance from within the Commonwealth and to have seen more espionage on behalf of Max as she worked to help Connie uncover the truth behind the Miltons and the 1%. And I would have loved a worked out scene where Pamela just rage glared at Connie because she couldn't prove she was behind the anti-Milton newsAl while Connie just stared her down.

Also, a good number seem to love the Carver guy from the Reapers? Should we have had more of him? How?

This really just comes from me being unhappy with Season 11 and frustrated with AMC cutting the last season even after the showrunner and producers had already written and planned for a thought-out ending.

Daryl is weak.

Okay, bold headline. I’m a journalist I know how clickbait works. Jokes aside, hear me out.

A lot of fans say that Daryl acts totally out of character in the second season of his spin-off. Getting close to a woman that quickly. Kissing her. Not thinking about going home anymore or not fighting tooth and nail to get there anymore.

And while I very much agree and the Daryl from the Spin-Off doesn’t feel like the Daryl from the flagship show anymore, there’s a pattern I’ve noticed throughout the series.

The word Daryl gets described the most is probably “loyal”. But what if he’s not that “loyal” man, everyone makes him out to be?

Daryl’s not good alone. He needs people. He latches on to them. First it was Merle, his bad influence of a brother. Then it was Rick and the group. He needs a role model. Someone to follow.

what happens though if you take away his role model, is always the same thing. He falls into despair, latches onto someone else and forgets where he came from.

Remember the arc after the prison fell? He was stuck with Beth, thought the group is dead. But instead of making use of his tracking abilities, determination, pure willpower to prove himself wrong and see that most folks are still alive or just whatever to find out if the other’s are really dead, he succumbs to pessimism and suggests to Beth to just stay at the funeral home, doing nothing but playing house. He would’ve stayed there for much longer if Beth hadn’t gone kidnapped. Once Beth was gone, he stucked to the Claimers until Rick came along again…

Same thing with Leah. He believed his leader (Rick) to be dead, his guilt made him shy away from his family, he lived in the woods until Leah came along. It took him longer than with Beth to finally give in and decide to stay with Leah, but still - he isolated himself from the thoughts of his family and stayed with a woman - and yet again, he would have stayed there, away from his family, if Leah hadn’t left herself. He didn’t have a clue about what’s happening in Alexandria, with the Whisperers, with Rick’s kids and probably didn’t wanna know either.

Rinse and repeat we got Isabelle. In this case, it’s even worse because Daryl’s stuck in another country. But again he’s far away from his family, again there is a woman, again he’s latching onto her and yet again he is forgetting about his people back home to the point where he’s almost not considering to go back anymore at all.

Daryl always needs a circumstance, a death, a kidnapping, or a person (Carol?) to pull him back to reality and to remind him who he is and what he might’ve left behind.

It’s also highly ironic to me that the Villain of the season, that cult leader, describes what’s going on with Daryl in Episode 2x03 perfectly:

“Must be hard living without a semblance of faith. No organizing principle, nothing to cling to [….] a man alone it’s a sad state.”

Daryl always believes he is alone, that his group has given up on him. His low self-esteem and the thing’s he had to endure prevent him from seeing how loved he is. But he’s never been truly alone, after he found Rick’s group.

Having to fend for himself as a kid has left his mark on him, so he’s clinging onto people, desperate of not wanting to be alone.

Now that doesn’t go without saying that I don’t believe Daryl didn’t find something in France. He found what he wishes for - a family of his own and to not be the “lonely man” anymore. But it’s time to come back from Neverland, to achieve that dream.

With all of these things considered I start to believe the Daryl we all know and love is still there - he just needs to be reminded that he is loved, cared for and so, so missed.

Edit: Some more notes. That is just a poor explanation/interpretation of bad writing in the Spin-Off. When Daryl said he wasn’t sure of what he was looking for when he left the Commonwealth, that made it clear as day the writers absolutely intend to retcon this beloved character and all of his core characteristics to pretend Daryl’s this blank page, a character without history. But this doesn’t work and I hope they’ll notice it soon enough.

I've never agreed with the Pope more in my life than when he comparess a dog contemplating whether or not to lick someone or bite the shit out of them to that one look Daryl always has on his face-

i mean look at him...

he looks like he can't figure out whether to punch you, kiss you, fuck you, or kill you.

thank you for coming to my ted talk

[kermit-coded]

truly insane how hard most of the walking dead's m/f relationships slap. what did they put in the fucking water.

[lab-gr0wn-lambs]

Not to keep going on about them but I am convinced the only reason Carol and Daryl didn't end up together is because of the ageism/misogyny shit-sandwich. Everybody be so for real right now, if their story played out the exact same way except Carol was 27 and didn't have grey hair? Sloppy makeout by season 4. Instead we got everybody interpreting her sex jokes and pet-names as ''motherly'' somehow. Male characters can date women 20 years younger than them, but if she's 3 years older she might as well be his momma

the Reapers lore is giving me a headache. wtf is this. How did i not know Leah had a son after rewatching season 11 twice. They’re all ex military? just makes me so proud of Daryl for being able to murk them all cause these bastards are tough as fuck.

And on another note, Pope thinks that he’s embodied by the spirit of Christ because him and his troop where some of the only ones to walk out of Afghanistan unharmed. Leah’s abandonment issues make sense from her fucking military PTSD (not excusing that cunts actions at all). Those fifteen people all are close asf, literally a mini-cult. They’re family because they’re all trauma bonded by war, sticking together for support BEFORE the apocalypse. That’s so sad, but still… and they’re all blindsided by Pope because of their loyalty to him.

okay ts actually kinda cool. How did i not pick up on any of this from the show.
