The fact that Sam also thought Winston was a crocodile... like we never saw him, I just thought it was canon he was a crocodile, until last episode everyone started wondering in the comments what he was and now he shows up? And what the hell is that. How does he breathe underwater? Does Maggie know? "He prefers to eat underwater" Dude how the fuck can he eat under the water. Is he normal? What the fuck is up with his teeth

If that okay to know, but how do you feel about Sam's and Maggie's relationship? Do you think Maggie might a right choice to split up with Sam? Also, how do you feel about non cannon ship?

I'd say their relationship def become more like a partnership as the series went on. Not that they don't care about each other but I feel like any romance would end in tragedy lol. This ain't a happy one :( Honestly it could go either way, I feel like they will reunite at some point and have some epic boss battle showdown, which'll either end with one dying or who knows, they may get together again.

Non canon ships? Don't really have any, like I said it feels like any romance would end in tragedy :( Maybe in a happier scenario I guess I could kinda see something between Maggie and the mayor >w< Or with Gina

Everything Is Fine Character Analysis: Sam's Wilderness

Note: Every time I refer to someone as "the Perfect ___", I'm referring to the false happy persona they put that's mandated by the government. Also I'm about halfway through Season 2, so everything I've put here is based off what I know from where I've gotten so far.

I noticed a consistent pattern when it comes to Sam's behavior that pertains to environmental changes (that being both changes in his environment, and him changing environments entirely). When the series begins, Sam is introduced as a compliant model citizen to the government. We meet him in an almost stuck-up and controlling state, where he was forceful in trying to get Maggie to comply with the system when she wanted to question it and break the rules (at this point only minor rules, which only added to Sam's seemingly controlling nature). In the flashback of them meeting for the first time, Maggie is a free spirit and a wild card, which gives us context to her naturally rebellious nature, while Sam is more passive and go-with-the-flow. The pressure of their daughter's life being dangled in front of them at any moment, as well as Sam's comfort in having adjusted to their new lives, most likely caused him to go from someone who follows the grain, to someone who will assertively try to maintain the status quo.

We see the first break during Linda and Bob's neighborly dinner get-together. Maggie is reaching a breaking point from the restrictive lifestyles they live, and wears a revealing dress, as well as butts heads with Linda and Bob whenever they play the part of the Perfect Neighbors instead of being their genuine selves. Sam tries being assertive, then he tries playing the Perfect Husband, all to get Maggie to play along for all their sakes, but she shuts him down and puts him in his place for the attempted control*. He no longer tries to stop her once she asserts that she will not let him boss her around anymore, as he doesn't have the willpower to fight that due to his more lenient nature. When he finally confronts her about how her behavior can get them and their children all killed, he does so by dropping the Perfect persona and speaking to Maggie honestly. He's practically begging her to listen, to consider the danger they're in, with a very earnest desperation, and only then does she tone it down and comply. From this point on, Sam is less cold-shouldered towards Maggie now that he sees he cannot make her act as compliantly as he does, so he takes what he can get with Maggie at least agreeing to do the bare minimum of staying in line with the government's enforced lifestyle.

Everything gets flipped on its head when Maggie rips the rug out from under Sam by killing Officer Tom. For the first time, Sam spirals, and becomes very compliant with Maggie's plans to get them to Lakeview by sabotaging Linda and Bob (and uh, y'know, hiding a body). He enters a state of shock, panics, and immediately lets Maggie take the lead when he realizes he has no footing in the trajectory of their lives. He momentarily reverts back to that state he was in before the government take-over, a follower more than a leader, and most of all his genuine self over the Perfect persona.

Then we get to Lakeview, and Maggie and Sam are adjusting to this new life by simply observing and living along side its residents. At some point, Sam decides its time he made active moves to acclimate to the Lakeview culture, which included him joining in on the Hunt with Gina and Chris, and later enthusiastically committing to the vegetable business (despite knowing how long it will take for that to actually go anywhere) after his talk with Glenn. Both times Maggie questioned him, and he brushed her off, deciding that he would follow his own rules without having any communication with her about what he would do or why. And once again, the only reason this stopped was when Maggie confronted him about this lack of communication, and called his behavior out (which brought us to that conversation about Sam not trusting her anymore, and using that as justification for his actions). This became somewhat rectified only when Maggie announced her connections with the Resistance, and how the two of them could not survive together should Sam continue to act as he does. She calls out Sam, and as a result he goes along with her plan to try and trick Gina and Chris; he complies.

Sam as a character has seemingly been all over the place, but he's actually only been in two; the authoritarian (whether that be over Maggie's life or his own) and the complier. He swings between being controlling and backing down at the first sign of resistance. To me, this shows great insecurity from Sam regarding his place in the world. Its the mark of a person who is easy-going at heart, and feels forced to be the opposite for survival. The issue is that he's allowing these knee-jerk feelings to cloud his judgement, and its starting to drive a damaging wedge between him and the one person he can actually trust to have his back. When the situation changes too drastically, Sam goes into a sort of shock and follows Maggie's lead. As soon as he feels he has some footing, he becomes over-controlling as a way to feel in control of anything.

Maggie loves and trusts Sam, but he seems very willing to abandon that trust/love in favor of feeling like he's got a hold of the situation and his life. If Sam doesn't become aware of these patterns, it will inevitably destroy his relationship with Maggie, and be the push that leads to their downfall.

*Sam is a very nuanced character and he's not really a controlling person at heart, his actions are very much a product of his circumstances, but for this segment I'm talking about his behavior through Maggie's perspective, which is him seeming over-controlling during a period where she's forgetting to consider the consequences of stepping out of line
