TOWL EP. 5

SPOILERS

- 2 am on the dot. Let’s get it!

- Gabriel?!

- Like, I’m not mad or nothing, just…perplexed

- The selected song is giving honeymoon/romantic getaway

- Him taking in that Carl drawing 😫

- “Never did like those.” Girl, me neither. Shout out to all us girlies whose names were too unique for keychains.

- Rick tryna get his son one, though ❤️

- Stoooop! Not him customizing a necklace for her!

- Omg, the season 6 callback. Man done finally got her the toothpaste!

- “I was in love with my son’s best friend—“ yeeeah, maybe don’t phrase it like that…

- Protecting the people from the people is basically The Walking Dead in a nutshell…

- Bro, these walkers…🤢

- Wooooooow…I shouldn’t even be surprised. Just proved my point.

- They tried to warn you, my guy. Done messed around and found out

- Michonne said “now y’all get nothing”

- If people would stop pulling up Richonne while they’re in bed, I would really appreciate that

- Knew she wasn’t gonna buy into them “dying via helicopter crash”

- The writing is making a point pushing “Anne”; between that and these Gabriel flashbacks, I highly suspect she’ll die in this episode. Like they’re winding down on her character…

- We have now entered Fast & Furious: Richonne Version

- Michonne is out for BLOOD, baby! But Rick’s right, they gotta play it smart or it’ll just create a bigger problem.

- This is really tense

- I do like how much screen time they have Jadis; she was a really interesting character and giving her 5 mins and a swift death would’ve been cheap; this was a much better end for her than I predicted

- Woo chile, a proposal; just look at them

- Following something beautiful with something unfortunate; poor Gabriel

- Was it just me or did this episode go by pretty fast?

Hi, do you have any headcanons about Rick with RJ and Judith after TOWL?

sure! most of these are about the grimes family as a whole because michonne is the beating heart of the family yk!!

under a read more because apparently i had more to say than i realized (shocking). some of these are copied from previous posts!

antony azor who plays rj is apparently very shy and reserved but opened up unexpectedly with andrew lincoln and so obviously this is also exactly what happened with rick and rj. father and son bonded INSTANTLY

part of this is because rj (like antony) is very shy and reserved and rick gets that and so they can just be quiet together and still feel like they're bonding. as rj gets older, whenever he needs to think something through he asks rick if they can do some sort of project together, and through that he works through whatever he has going on.

his first night back, judith asks rick to finish reading the wizard of oz to her because he never got a chance to. it takes a good five minutes for him to compose himself but she does finally get the full story from her dad. michonne and rj join them because they both love hearing stories the most when rick is the one telling them.

I think rick definitely got back into farming post towl since that is his ~zen place. judith and rj have the idea to grow flowers for michonne, and the three of them plant her a small private garden as a surprise. they even build her a little bench to sit on and everything. after it's finished they have all their family picnics there :')

I think this is less my personal headcanon and more a collective fandom headcanon but rick DEFINITELY does call rj "junior" and he is the ONLY one allowed to do so. If anyone else tries they get the rick grimes head tilt and squint from both of them.

they as a whole family have all kinds of Secret Family Things (like the code names for security shoto/daito/brave man/little brave man). for example they have a family whistle that has different variants for different ~situations. it's kinda silly but they all get very into it and take it very seriously!

speaking of family rituals, family dinner is REALLY important to them!!! I'm always thinking about that one dinner scene in early season 9 where michonne, judith and rj are quietly/sadly sitting in that dark dining room with that empty chair where rick is supposed to be. NOW their kitchen is bright and loud and cheerful and they all cook together and use herbs and spices from their family garden :')))

during the week or so leading up to judith and rj's respective birthdays, Rick gives them each a gift for each year he missed. like an advent calendar of missed birthdays. Idk what he gets them exactly but rick king-of-gift-giving grimes would figure something out. michonne helps out a lot by filling him on the things they both enjoyed throughout their childhoods

(he does the same for michonne btw. a gift for every year he missed. they never cared about birthdays before but he's still making certain things up to her)

now that rick and michonne are back together they find it much easier to talk about all the people they lost. judith and rj's favorite stories are the ones about their brothers, carl and andre.

i love the idea of scene very similar to the one in towl 1x05 where richonne get mugged only to turn the situation around in .5 seconds only this time it's the whole family being badass and intimidating to a stranger who thought they could try it

as we know from towl, rick and michonne are fucking insane :') but eventually they realize judith and rj out-crazy both of them combined (much like carl did, rip king) and they are EXTREMELY proud :')

Do you know what scenes didn’t make the cut in TOWL? I remember some of the script pages floating around and people saying there’s a lot they cut out. Do you know? I miss them so much. 😞

There are a few scenes I know about!

Here's two scenes from 1x05!

Technically they weren't deleted, just changed slightly. But it still counts to me! I would have loved to hear Rick say "but what if I can't wait that long?" That would have been sooo sexy and insane. I'm a little mad about it actually! (Kidding)

There are also some cut scenes from episode 1. Before Rick chops off his arm, we see him and the rest of the CRM consignees in the plane. Rick's hand is shaking (it was meant to be a parallel to before he meets the kids) because he knows he's about to axe his hand and I think Thorne says something to try and comfort him.

Of course there's the deleted picnic scene which wasn't meant to have any audio. It was just suppose to be a cute little shot of the Grimes family getting along with music over it meant for the end of episode 6. Unfortunately I can't find the video but when I see it again I'll repost

There's also this scene from episode 1 after Rick cuts off his hand. Okafor visits him in the hospital.

Those are the only ones I'm remembering right now but if I remember anymore I'll definitely share!

"I was in love with my son's best friend and I didn't know what to do."

LISTEN

LISTEN

as towl was coming up and since it premiered i've been doing a lot of rewatching of the supercut etc. as you do

and for WEEKS i've been percolating meta about the final ramp up to them getting together like handwriting in a notebook and shit level obsessed with the narrative arc

specifically how there's the extremely obvious thread throughout michonne's storyline in 6a that is just outright about her getting to the place where she's ready to accept that rick is what she wants, for herself, for her whole life

and how it's because the 'i'm with you' scene in conquer is just rick completely surrendering himself to her in this really intimate way literally disarming himself and offering everything up to her

and she supports him, pledges her loyalty, but she never accepts the offering (and plz don't get me started on him legit doing mr darcy ass handclenching after she walks out)

and it hit me so hard that this was rick walking right up to the precipice, that scene is this palpable build up to a moment that doesn't happen for ten more episodes because she hasn't gotten there yet, but rick is already there!! something inside him already knows! (and there's a whole other meta about that something taking it as rejection)

so anyway ty you towl for being the mvp once again and confirming that our years of discussions about how michonne only just gets there during the moment on the couch, but rick on the couch is like "finally" were correct

[auroraroseane]

The last person Rick and Michonne think they'll see once they've been recaptured by the CRM is Beth Greene. She's somehow survived a shot to the head and is now a part of high command at the CRM. What's happened to Beth during the years that have passed, and how does it effect the pair of escapee's now laid at her feet?

Based on my prediction of how Beth could come back at this point. Chapters 1-3 were written before the release of TWD:TOWL 1x05.

Shamelessly plugging my story that I just updated. There will be a break for the rest of the weekend because of the TOWL finale, and because my tiny human wants attention 🤷🏻‍♀️ See you Monday!
