Grace 1x01: Dead Simple

From IMDb

[locke-esque-monster]

I came into TOWL fully like, "I'm mildly curious.". I left with a sticky note of excited thoughts I couldn't contain during the episode.

First - general thoughts:

I don't know how to describe to you how much joy it brings my PA-loving heart to find out the secret city where this plot has been set is Philly. (I can't read maps or recognize skylines for shit - but words like "PA National Guard" and "Lincoln Financial Field" had me perking up in my seat with interest until they confirmed it.)

Oh Rick Grimes - being covered in blood in multiple separate scenes during the intervening years like you're making up for lost time. Good to know you haven't changed. (It's your MO - like Jon Bernthal in every role ever.)

I'm both a Lost and Lucifer watcher and I'm excited to see both John Locke and Maze in a new role. It's too early to tell, but they both seem to fit the given roles.

But if you think for one second when Terry O'Quinn opened his mouth and said the word "sacrifice" I didn't immediately think the phrase "that the island demanded", you'd be mistaken.

As I posted earlier - It's been awhile since I've spend time in the universe. I can admit I was rusty when it came to having any clue of Okafor's death after what in retrospect was a very "pre-death" TWD speech. Rick's arm I figured out about when I should of as the viewer. I figured out about Okafor's wife shortly before he said it. But as soon as Rick went down, I was really thinking Michonne would be part of whatever group struck him down. I was even more sure when I saw someone checking bodies, and positive when I saw they had a sword.

Second - the call backs:

The episode 2x8 - Nebraska - where 2 guys from the Philly area hear there's something in Nebraska area. The context that they seem wrong at the time, it's a pipe dream. But really, Omaha did survive, and they were close enough to Philly to hear that, but not close enough or Philly was struggling enough (at least compared to pre-walkers) they came looking for Nebraska anyway. But by the end of TOWL 1x1, Omaha is the pipe dream it seemed in 2x8, because it's destroyed now. (Who thinks Omaha being destroyed is 1000% suspicious with all the power issues? I sure do.)

Rick starting off the show having to cut off his own hand, ala Merle season 1.

Rick working himself up to cut off his own hand like he almost did to Carl per Negan's orders. Except instead of keeping his family alive, it's to get back to them.

The grenade used to escape ala season 1.

Meeting one of the guys who actually bombed Atlanta shown in season 1

The shot of Rick sitting one hand over his leg, dead look in his eyes, covered in blood, is giving me serious 4x16 vibes (leaning on the car, chatting with Daryl after ripping out a man's throat with his teeth).

Reintroducing Michonne at the end of the episode as a disguised and dangerous figure in the woods much like her season 2 finale introduction.

i find it SO CRAZY like out of the world insane that rick didn’t even mention jadis to michonne. like NO explanation as to why and HOW he got here and stayed stuck for so long because of that hoe.

If you see this whole mess through michonne’s perspective, rick doesn’t seem legitimate AT ALL in terms of his plans, it just seem like some bullshit all throughout. And add the fact that she almost died because of these mfs’ chlorine gas massacres that killed her friends 💀

she is better than me, better than anyone else cause i would be so mad at everyone and everything.

I’m sure she was just so happy to find him that she didn’t care at first. And honestly, same for Rick, who’s experienced nothing but whiplash since his helicopter crashed. 😂 Okafor is gone, Michonne is here, he thinks he’s free, but Jadis shows up and ruins his plans, he’s gotta make Thorne trust Michonne, who isn’t really on board for any of this shit, and now he’s falling out of another helicopter. 😭

That said, I cannot find a reason why he wouldn’t tell Michonne about Jadis, like, immediately. Even if it didn’t cross his mind before Jadis popped back up, that should’ve been one of the first things he put in his funky little Dear John letter. (And it was never mentioned in any of his phantom letters to Michonne either?) *in my Cardi voice* WHAT WAS THE REASON.
