Welcome to The Watching Dead, the official

podcast for The Walking Dead on AMC. I'm Jim. I'm Aaron and today we're talking about season 10 episode four titled silenced silenced the whispers.

Aaron, I don't know part of this episode. I like part of this episode. I hate. It's kind of the same parts I've hated the last episode or two.

That they continue to rehash here. I'm curious to hear what you thought of this episode though.

I think I'm with you. I liked most of it including all the main plots and the main characters.

I don't know what they're doing with Magna. I'll take that one because I think that's my hobby horse and I'll let you worry your man later.

I don't know. I think it's unfortunate. First let's talk about the stuff I really like. I really like this exploration of what makes good people bad.

The wearing of masks and how that can both be a savior. How that can also drive you crazy. How easily those masks can slip off when people are afraid.

Seeing all through the lens of Negan and Lydia and some of the towns. The only thing that I...

It's a little bit weak about that plot point is I feel like there should be one fairly beloved member of the cast that's in the bully category.

Maybe they can be swayed but it's kind of... They've rolled a perfect storm of assholes.

A highway lady that we only know because she stood up and said we're in a highway man. We think this sucks last episode ago.

The punk ass teenager from Hilltop throwing the one that survived being an asshole two seasons ago.

A couple of times. They have kind of sort of have a little bit of that with Aaron looking the other way at the bullying.

Kind of Gabriel Shurkin the kind of same stuff too. Only really Daryl's grappling with it.

But I do think I wish there was a recognizable face that I'm like, oh god. I kind of...

Man, I like that guy. I'm a little disappointed to sell it. This or to kind of show how...

It's kind of understandable. Like when you've lost as much as some of these people have lost, sometimes you just hate it.

There's not a... There's not a logic to it. We try to act like there is but it's just a visceral.

My brother, you son of a bitch. I hope you die.

And how do you live with people in that and society?

So I really like that stuff. Magna.
