The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live - S01E04

After all, what can a first impression tell us about someone we’ve just met for a minute in the lobby of a hotel? For that matter, what can a first impression tell us about anyone? Why, no more than a chord can tell us about Beethoven, or a brushstroke about Botticelli. By their very nature, human beings are so capricious, so complex, so delightfully contradictory, that they deserve not only our consideration, but our reconsideration.

what book I would give each current formula one driver to introduce them to the joy of reading

an intellectual exercise no one* asked for

Max Verstappen: Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond - if you are nd and have read this book, you may understand me. otherwise just trust me. the impetus for this post

Checo Perez: The Trumpet of the Swan by E.B. White - this is an excellent read-aloud book for Sergio Jr.'s age, and there is nothing as wonderful as reading a compelling book to a kid you love, imho

Charles Leclerc: The Golden Compass by Phillip Pullman - he is on the record as a Potter enjoyer. also, I think he would enjoy having a little animal friend

Carlos Sainz: Priestdaddy by Patricia Lockwood - okay yes this is partially a joke about the title, but this is a hilarious and wonderful memoir, about weird families and Catholicism, and I think Carlos would enjoy it.

Lando Norris: Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett - in my mind Lando is a little bit like @bright-and-burning but less cool, so this fits. also, the combination of high number of jokes/page + action/mystery seems like a good fit

Oscar Piastri: Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie - this book has the kind of mystery that really draws you in, plus I think Oscar would dig the questions about AI it digs into. I choose to believe with zero evidence that he would be interested in the funky gender stuff

Fernando Alonso: Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell - look me in the eye and tell me this book wasn't written for Fernando Alonso

Lance Stroll: Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card - yeah

Lewis Hamilton: Die Trying by Lee Child - Lewis deserves to read mildly trashy thrillers <3 plus there's a Tom Cruise movie

George Russell: Changing My Mind by Zadie Smith - as a proud Brit, George should be reading one of the premiere English authors of the 21st century. her first book of essays is a fun and readable place to start

Yuki Tsunoda: Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel - I don't have a Yuki-lore explanation, I just want to give him one of my favorite books

Daniel Ricciardo: The Gunslinger by Steven King - The Dark Tower series is Lord of the Rings-esque in scope but Western-inflected in aesthetic and written by The Horror Guy, I think DR would enjoy

Alex Albon: The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer by Siddhartha Mukherjee - I say this with so much love in my heart, but Alex wants to be seen as smart. this book is brilliantly written pop science

Logan Sargeant: Bloomability by Sharon Creech - yes this is a book for tween girls, but it's about boarding school in Switzerland, and Sharon Creech is a genius. if I could convince him to read it, I think he would love it

Valtteri Bottas: The Fellowship of the Ring by JRR Tolkien - what are hobbits if not humanoid moomins?

Zhou Guanyu: Piranesi by Susannah Clarke - a fun, exciting, stylishly written book for a stylish guy

Kevin Magnussen: Watership Down by Richard Adams - rabbit warfare <3

Nico Hulkenberg: A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles - Hulk SEEMS like a Dad Who Reads Historical Fiction, even if he isn't yet

Pierre Gasly: Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo - I almost said A Game of Thrones but I don't think that would be good for him. so, Six of Crows. he likes heists!

Esteban Ocon: City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty - a superhero origin story of sorts for Mr. Spiderman

Bonus: Liam Lawson: Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir - lesbian from New Zealand. let me have this

*ro asked for it, take it up with them @oscarpiastriwdc

I also think Danai doesn't get nearly enough recognition for how she portrays Michonne, not just in towl but in twd. Like maybe it's just me, but she/Michonne was more interesting to watch than a lot of the cast in the later seasons. And I'm not saying the other cast members were bad actors, a lot of them are good too but to me they didn't have the screen presence she has. I also feel like she made Michonne feel more 3 dimensional in general on twd.

no im right there with you anon! i feel like twd was lucky it had so many talented people and most of the time their talent/performances carried the writing. idk if it’s because the ensemble was so big or because ppl have their favorites but often times Danai is left out when the topic of best performances in the show come up. i get she does a lot of action but she’s also a great dramatic performer. and you’re spot on with her having a certain kind of screen presence. in every scene she’s in she stands out, you could say its because her characters overall aesthetic but it goes beyond that to where you just want to watch her. ive said it before but I also think Danai is the reason she’s much more than the girl who swings a sword and kills things. at times you can only do so much with what you get and imo she has always elevated and did her thing even if it was just with one look. she does so much with her eyes alone, especially in the early seasons since she was much more stoic as a character. and while i struggled with her story arc in season 9, it really did give her more of a chance to shine and we got another layer of her character to explore.

Hello. I was reading your top 30 and figured if anyone had a thought about my question it would be you.

What does it mean that when we see Father Gabriel in the opening of #TOWL, episode 5 that the walker he encounters and kills is dressed like him and bald like him. The walker looks like Father Gabriel. Even in the shot afterward, Gabe bows his head, and you can see him & the walker look very much alike. Any idea what this means? It seems deliberate.

I don't have anyone to discuss Richonne with, so I'm hoping you can provide some insight. It's been nagging at me.

Thanks.

Hey! That's interesting, I hadn't noticed the similarity between Father Gabriel and the walker when I first watched. I'll have to look more closely for that when I'm able to do my TOWL rewatch soon. (I've just been living off of scene clips on the tl ever since March so I'm super eager to finally sit down and rewatch it all from beginning to end)

I know in the main show whenever a walker resembled a character, either aesthetically or circumstantially, it was often to reflect the dire state the character was currently in or possibly headed toward. Like Shane watching the isolated walker wandering in the field in season 2 or Michonne seeing the walker with braids aimlessly traveling beside her in season 4. So my one guess would be that considering Father Gabriel will later tell Jadis that the communities are struggling and in need of food, maybe the walker was meant to resemble how he and his people are in an emaciated state and struggling to hold on. Almost like the walker illustrates what Father Gabriel could be on the brink of if he doesn't keep the faith. Not sure if that's the intention, but that'd be my take on its potential meaning. Thanks for reading the Top 30. 😊
