Welcome to The Watching Dead, the officially unofficial podcast for The Walking Dead on AMC, I'm Jim.

I am Aaron.

And today we're talking about Season 10, bonus episode 2, slash episode 18.

Uh, find me.

Aaron, what'd you think of this episode?

I was worried, like 20s so minutes into this episode, they're like, oh my god, this might be the first since a first just bad episode of Angela Kang's run.

Like, I feel like I've been sold a bill of goods on these bonus episodes.

I am, I'm not a happy customer.

Um, then it got around to doing some things with Darryl and Carol and saying some things that needed to be said.

It's just the framing device of this old cabin where Darryl had a love affair with some mountain woman and the.

Just the realities of the situation of the sad little map that Darryl drew this, this supposed mountain man that can't fucking explore a couple hundred acres in the course of three, four, however many fucking years he's going up and down this creek and he can't find this cabin even though it lives in his back.

It's, it's, it's, it's, it's silly and also violated like, didn't we all decide that Darryl was asexual at some point?

Well, I think we, we said like de facto asexual, right? Cause we haven't seen him go for anyone. Well, yeah.

And I know there's, there's like a, you know, I don't, I don't know everything about the asexual community, but I understand that there's spectrums of it.

It's like, you know, that there's people that are in general, but for some people, they'd make an exception or if they had a, especially close relationship, like I, it's, I'm not saying like, ah, I thought Darryl's an ace and we're going to pull his ace card.

It's just I didn't really buy it. And I thought the woman that this, this Leah was kind of terrible and her scenes were bad and her dialogue was bad.

And it's the apocalyptic fucking jukebox of, of the greatest fucking victim hits that are about to. So yeah, but, but the stuff with Darryl and Carol did need to happen.

And I actually think it's a weird way to kind of keep some suspense about the spin off.

You know, because yeah, they got a lot of now a lot of road to pay to get to that spin off from here.

Yeah, now it's not a question of will they survive, but it's like, will they both answer these big questions they have about each other?

Yeah, in a plausible way to go, go forward.
