Pin this so everyone see this, if you do need mods to check comments for spoilers, I’d recommend making a google form.

@@ellereacts528 I really appreciate that 😌

@@ellereacts528 you’ve been added 🤗

@@DanReadd if you need any more mods for the future, I’d be happy to help!

@@Bub8les you’ve been added too! Thank you so much ☺️

On reflection I can understand his frustration much more! Obviously in the moment all I could think was… omg 😆

@@DanReadd Ricktatarship

I'm a strong Democrat, but when Rick said that I cheered. Damn ungrateful people.

🫠🫠😅

I heard that and thought "Oh no. My guy is not gonna love what happens in the next 2 minutes."

I about fell off my chair. haha

Tis was not funny, I definitely didn’t keep laughing off camera 📸

Would you mind mind giving the time stamp? I must have missed it. 🤦‍♀️

Amen! Carl is the most unsupervised child.

BAHAH I laughed editing it 😅😅

On the contrary I do think that Shane had a good influence on him. Rick was already a leader but he used to let people get into his head too much.

Yeah, I think people forget for Dan and the characters, it's literally only been a few days since episode 1. And not very long at all in-universe since Rick woke up! Maggie & Hershel have hardly ever been off the farm! This is all new to them.

Been such a ride so far! Glad to have you here 🤗

Yeah… but I think as a group, people felt the need transparent leadership. Also, I am a firm believer that they have a right to understand the situation they’re in. Maybe it would’ve changed things, maybe not… it’s definitely a tough call which I’m not sure I’d have made. But hey, that’s what makes this show fantastic! Moral vs practical decisions, I feel we all polarise along this continuum!

I have no idea how this started. It just naturally came out when I started reacting to shows 😝😝

@@DanReadd Lol, your content and reactions are great and have become something I look forward to on a weekly basis! Hope you have a safe move back home!!!

I appreciate that greatly! 😊

Absolutely agree with all of that. Yes, the whole "my family is off limits to you." followed by her getting annoyed with Shane a few episodes later that he was so indifferent towards Carl, is a bit confusing. However, Lori wanting her child to retain his humanity is so understandable . As a mother myself, it would terrify me to have my son living in a situation where he couldn't just be a child.

I 💯 agree. Lori was only mad after finding out about Carl

Yeah I actually did acknowledge that her reaction may have simply been about Carl! It was just at the end of the reaction in the discussion hahaha. As I said when it happened “I’m not making my mind up about that right now”. It was so ambiguous, and taking advice from good old Dale. THINK don’t speak 😊

Haha yes, crazy how it’s been memed for over a decade now

😝😝😝

Good point!

Yeah I did say this in my reaction but I think people missed it. Like when the scene happened I sort of mentioned that I was unsure if it had to do with Carl “picking up the pieces”, and I do talk about it at the end, but I think people missed it!

I think my issue with this scene came with Rick waiting for Lori, then switching when she arrived. Like it was clear he wanted very desperately to wait for his wife (which is perfectly understandable lol.), I guess my question is, what if Andrea was a missing mother, or wife in this scenario. Even if logic still says I’m wrong with this thinking, what really frustrates me is a lack of attempt to leave her a message. I think for me this shows that priorities wise, Andrea meant a lot less than perhaps Sophia, or Lori. I just disagree with this. Maybe I’m reading into it too much who knows. Maybe the argument is that someone saw Andrea head off alone, unlike Lori or Hershalls family, perhaps this factored in idk 🤷

You have to give him time to adjust. We are still fairly new in this world. You are wanting him to adopt a world view even characters living through it have not adopted. I say stop telling him how to think or feel and let him develop naturally, like the rest of us did.

That’s so cool! I feel it inevitably doing the same to me 😌

American Mum: If you have time, I think he needs help with moderating the comments.

@@Myraisins1 👌🏼

Why thank you 😝

Except she pulled down from him even before he mentioned Carl. I used to think that it was the cause of her reaction but the body language is interesting.

@Kamanda Hickey Watch it again. She is with Rick through the entire conversation. She starts out with a "hug" position. She pulls back her arms, but leaves her hands on his arm and shoulder. Gives his one arm a little squeeze. She is listening. Trying to take it in. She gets to have that "punch to the gut" reaction as well, without it meaning anything against Rick. Hell, even Rick got to cry about it. "This was not me! This was you! Why? Not me!" Well, Lori gets the same consideration. Look at her expression. She isn't angry. She is in shock. She feels guilty for them fighting. She is worried about what this does to Rick. And no matter what, she did care for Shane. She is trying to come to grips with him being gone. It is ONLY when he says "Carl put him down" that her expression changes. She snarls at him. Then bends over because the information makes her feel like she is either gonna pass out, or puke. When Rick reaches for her, that is when she pulls away. No matter what, Lori has stood beside Rick. Supported him. Even if she disagreed. She knew Shane was dangerous. She knows Rick is telling the truth. She also wants to keep Carl a baby. Doesn't want him to carry a knife. Or learn how to use a gun. And now, not only has Carl had to put down someone. But he put down Shane. Someone he was close to. Someone he loved. THAT is what Lori can't forgive. And it shows in the scene.

Yeah I did mention this could be the cause in my post reaction discussion! I also said during the scene that I was adamant not to make my mind up yet, as the scene was kinda ambiguous! I think I also mentioned it again in my E1 s3 reaction. I think people are looking for a reason to protect Rick. Obviously he’s the focal protagonist, which I guess a lot of people identify with! Perhaps if more of the story was portrayed through Lori, it’d change our perceptions 🤷‍♂️

Yes, she wants to protect Carl by never actually keeping an eye on him. If I had a child in a zombie apocalypse I'd have that little sucker on a leash! Sorry, but she doesn't get any great empathy from me. I always struggled to understand what was motivating her to make what I thought were bad decisions.

And I get very happy seeing you all commenting! 😁

I appreciate you 😊

Okay yeah, I’ve had moderators tell me certain parts are spoiler free, so just chugging through now!

🫠😝

There are some mods now, so spoilers should be reduced, I’ll probably stick around the first hour of any new walking dead video to make sure no one spoils something as that’s when Daniel would likely check comments.

I completely agree! Fantastic writing and acting. I can’t help but feel that without the perfect casting/writing, the impact wouldn’t be the same!

If I’m completely honest, I’m in a very weird position with my opinions at the moment. Like it’s very hard to balance my own inferences, with the show, the odd comment I see, and my predictions etc.. I feel all over the place lol XD

I don’t think anyone should to be honest!

@@DanReadd I look at it like, she’s a married woman, therefore she wouldn’t have all these guy friends or probably any guy friend for that matter. Whom she could rely on for her son’s protection besides her husband. So what is she going to do, go for the closest thing to her maybe even the closest thing she had to her husband which was his Best friend & colleague. Doesn’t seem like she could have made it her own, especially carrying around a small child. If I had the opportunity as a woman to come across a man, even one that I didn’t know, he wanted to be there for me & my boy, if it meant we had a large chance to stay alive, I would more than likely do anything I could for him. And say “Thanks for always saving my life.” I don’t think they were together before the pandemic. Although the questioning of it is a valid one.

​@@eys1996what?

@@gthewolf7948 For sure. I have empathy for her.

@@eys1996 lame

I kinda viewed it like this… Lori was panicking about the information Dale had presented to her, so she made a rash decision to see where Rick stood in regard to a situation that could arise about a problematic group, or out-group member. She merely wanted to make sure he was ready to mark a hard choice, if he had to. I view this very differently to her directly saying “you need to kill Shane”, which isn’t quite what she said. Maybe Rick interpreted it differently, maybe Rick took her too literally, but that’s really on him in my eyes! Not to say he made the wrong decision (I don’t think he did), just trying to help people understand Lori.

I completely agree. She cannot be blamed for the actions of others. Sure she’s had an influence, but that doesn’t put the knife in her hand! I also agree she is annoyingly back and fourth about things. BUT, what I will say, is I have complete sympathy. The apocalypse is an unprecedented situation for us, and it’ll elicit different things in different people. She definitely gets too much blame, but isn’t void of her criticism!

@@DanReadd thank you for have sympathy. that’s what a lot of twd fans lack for her! i truly cannot for the life of me understand how people can say she’s the worst of the show because she wasn’t a bad person at all. she made mistakes like the rest of them. but she loved her husband and her child. it’s so messed how the fandom talks about her. ik this is all fictional but it still breaks my heart, she deserved better. (double checked to see if i was spoiling but you’re already up to season 5! enjoying your reactions btw!😌)
