The most emotional an TWD episode has made me … they acted their ASSES OFF

Until Michonne told him that she only felt SAFE WITH HIM, I don't think it ever 'dawned' on Rick that Michonne NEEDED his protection. I think he counted on her strength and that's what drew him to her. She was the OPPOSITE of Lori (and Jessie) as she was not dependent on _THE HIM_ in her life. Michonne could take care of Michonne. Most of the SAVES between the two of them were HER SAVING HIM, not the other way around. For her, unlike her son's father (Mike)... she believed, Rick would do ANYTHING to protect his KIDs! Her strength 'grounded' him but also made him STRONGER; his DEVOTION made her feel SAFE TO BE a strong female. Yes we are indeed conditioned to be STRONG even when we are WEAK but there are ALPHAs among us who are _strong BECAUSE they're strong as well!_ Michonne would likely be a 'leader' no matter what her upbringing. What Rick has learned is that sometimes... *EVEN A HERO NEEDS A HERO!*

“Do I have edges left?? I don’t know because they snatched _everything.”_ 😂💀🤣

Danai is literally a creative genius. Andrew is always amazing but he knocked it out of the park! God, I adore them.

Rick says the sweetest things…and the most infuriating things. I’m so emotional!

Michonne getting to verbalize that she's hurt was so touching to me. I am unable to deal!!!

The song they play at the ending 😭 "Masibe happy munt' wami" that's Zulu for "Let us be happy my love" 🥺. Never thought it possible to love them more than I already did.. but Danai!!!! Wheew! Always love your reactions 🤍🤍🤍

Rick talking about losing Carl again...tore me up. Screw Gimple.

Danai Gurira wrote Episode 4, titled “What We.” As a playwright, Gurira skillfully keeps the ball in the air, exploring Rick’s psychological trauma and rekindling the love between Michonne and Rick. The setting itself becomes a character, eventually destructing-a powerful metaphor for their journey.

Let's give it up for both Andrew and Danai. We all felt Andrew's emotional release there.

“It’s hurting me Rick” cut him *deep* and it was the right place to incise to get him to hear her.

All AMC has to do is submit ANY of these scenes for Emmy consideration…. Both Andy and Danai will win EASILY.

I cried so bad when he finally told her what was going on the entire monologue he gave had me BALLING LIKE A BABY😩😩😩

I just realized Rick is using the same strategy his war veteran grandfather used. Remember that story he told in the barn? “I was dead the moment I stepped into enemy territory.” His grandfather told himself, “Rest in Peace” every morning until the war ended. That’s what Rick did. He forced himself to die, so he wouldn’t fully experience the agony of loss.

This was so beautifully written you can tell it was thought out, with love for these characters history and 100% for day one fans. I think this was in the top 3 best episodes in TWD history. This is the most beautiful TV couples EVER! FYI did anyone else just literally die? when he told her she was the love of his life 😢

"God, this is a zombie show".🤣🤣 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Aisha, I am so with you. My chest also hurt when Rick broke down about Carl disappearing from his dreams. I could actually FEEL my heart breaking. Give Andy all the acting awards and give Danai acting awards AND writing awards.

I don't know how in the world they're 4 and 0 on this series! SOOOOOO GOOOOOOD! I just love that Danai didn't take the easy route in writing the process of Rick coming back. The drama of her helping him get to what it really is keeping him from his real, true self, his REVIVAL so to speak, was getting to the realization that he is still alive and not dead. He saw that phone Pic of Carl and he could see him again. He could see her. He could listen to her again. Danai's writing is really just so very good! That combined with her and Andrew's superb on screen performance, makes this a definite fave. Back to Season 7 episode 12 quality and vibes for me. BRAVO!!!

Their love scenes were EVERYTHING! The scene where she says she should be afraid of Rick in his red uniform made me cry. If he went back to the CRM alone he’d be forced to murder innocent people.

Yes!! loved her bringing him slowly back. They truly need each other. Because sometimes we need someone who loves us to remind us of our strength. The back-and-forth argument was also very realistic of how couples deal with conflict.

If this episode doesn't get nominated, I'm rioting. This episode made me cry and I haven't cried in a while..

Rick wouldn’t be able to drive a stick with only one hand. Pretty clever touch.

The emotional journey that Danai took us on....their acting! I can't. This whole episode was like watching a play, and Danai put her whole foot into this script. I think this is the first time we've had an actual time out on TWD, where we just got two characters talking, basically for a whole episode, and really got to dive into their emotional states. It was just chef's kiss, and I loved every second of watching you react to it!

The words 'emotional rollercoaster" have NEVER been more appropriate! This episode took us through everything from anger to bargaining to resignation to fear and ultimately love. And I LOVE the observation that it was written like a play with a 1st, 2nd and 3rd act. So much so that they spent most of the episode in a single setting....that apartment/room. I have so much to comment on but nobody's here to read a novel. LOL! What I will say is that moment of "panic" from Rick when they were making love seemed to also be the culmination of his deepest desire...being with Michonne again and of his biggest fear...losing her again. It was a manifestation of all the trauma he's been thru and has been holding onto this entire time...coming to the surface. It was an incredibly powerful and vulnerable moment.

This is gotta be one of my favorite reactions to this show. Your through discussions and commentary are so engaging. And i love how much you fangirl about Rick and Michonne, im right there with you girl!

Girl when she pulled out the phone…..I was like no no no don’t make me ugly crrryyy😭 😭 😭

Omg! I love your reaction to this episode.. Rick had me in an emotional turmoil. I wanted to whoop his ass at one point and wanted to hug the next. An absolute stunner of an episode

ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING SIS! Danai did a phenomenal job and took me through all the feels

Danai CRUSHED the writing in this ep!!! Better than many movies. Girl needs to look into screenwriting. Dialogue was just so real. And top it off w their gut wrenching acting... just WOW!! This series has been perfect❤💞❤️

I relate wayyy too much with how broken Rick is.. way more than anyone should. Especially since I've been without love/ people for over half a decade now. Thank everyone who made this show so i can feel

This finally explains why his reaction to seeing her the first time wasn't that warm. I still believe they are going back to the CRM Michonne needs her katana

Mom & Dad literally...

Danai gagged us so bad

Love doesnt get..danaiid..huh huh

It was so gripping, I haven't seen an episode like that from Walking Dead since the first seasons. I enjoyed it tremendously. I also liked watching your reaction, you are really a great commentator. Cheers

The Ones Who Live deserves an Emmy win now.

Epic episode. I was in tears the emotions the rawness. Danai did a spectacular job writing this episode. ❤

Do not fooook this up plzzzzz Let Richionne live on and find their way home and their happy ending!!!!!!!

Your analysis was VERY VERY good. Rick has never handled losing people well.

She's fighting for him ...😊

Not gonna lie…I cried. Pretty hard too. Phenomenal episode! Danai killed it.

I cried so much through this episode, it’s ridiculous great.😭 I felt emotions I didn’t even knew I had and it tingled everywhere on my body, hot.🥵

"this is a ZOMBIE SHOW!" 😭

Lol. BAFTA is what it's called. The Brit Awards are for music. And yes, Andrew deserves all the awards for _that_ scene alone. Those Emmys better recognize Danai's writing too..

Machonne took a leap of faith and Rick was along for the ride when she grabbed him and left the helicopter.

This was the episode in the WD universe...chef's kiss!!

That's exactly how I interpreted the love making scene. It was beautiful, my goodness that was hot. It was really well done all of this episode.

Great review! Danai and Andrew blew it out the park. Absolutely loved this episode 👏🏾❤️

Love your reaction. This episode was so good. Dania is such a good writer. Both Andy and Dania was amazing in this episode.

Don't apologize I am here for the long review!❤❤❤ Talking about an emotional rollercoaster 🤯 Love the conversation and breakdown can't wait until next week 🥰

This episode had me in tears, especially when it came to Carl.

I wonder if one of the Bridgerton scenes Danai told Andrew & Scott to watch, was the one in the Kate and Anthony bee-sting/panic attack episode. I see the beautiful correlation. Brilliant breakdown btw.😊

You did a good job with this review.

Jadis threatens Rick and then tries to slide into his DMs. She is a mess!

If Carl was there, what would he say... "The building is falling... we need to GTFO NOW!!!

Oh my gosh I felt everything the whole episode

This episode made me ugly cry the whole time.

This is my favourite episode. Beautifully done💗💗. It felt so authentic and earned. I love how Rick's words contradict his actions and how protective he is of her.I love that Michonne changes her approach when they finally connect and he reveals the trauma. #Richonne #Theoneswholive #TWD #Soulmates #Safespace #RickxMichonne

OMG, your reaction is sooo great. I love it. The way you reacted to their bed scene was hilarious lol

Michonne that’s not the stick he needs help with girl! 🤦‍♀️

Omg I’m sooooo glad you posted today!!! This episode had me so speechless! So well written and acted ❤❤❤❤ I’m a little nervous on how this will be wrapped up in 2 episodes!

I love your reaction. And watching you cry makes me cry again 😢. My favorite episode so far😊

I could be wrong here but, I believe Rick could have driven stick shift its just that he can't anymore because he only has one hand.....can't shift the gears 😢

If Daryl found Rick first he might've killed him. He's less patient than Michonne lol. Not sure how long he would have tolerated Rick's CRM savior complex lol

I finished the video, I have a lot to say..😭, first of all really proud to be part of your community girl, your reaction videos are literally my fav! You react with such humanity and such a reality in your feelings, the moments when you cry are literally all of us, we can’t lie 😭 now regarding the episode the writing. the acting. everything. danai wrote such a beautiful, raw and powerful episode. we FINALLY got to see these two characters really feel the pain of what they’ve been through all these years. both danai and andys performances left me pouring with tears. my gosh this ep ❤️‍🩹

This episode tore me up. I think I have a new celebrity crush now cause Andrew babyyy 🥴🥰 Like can I be your heart to? lmao

Amazing reaction and breakdown.

Great episode and excellent reaction.

your commentary at the end was extraordinary! so extremely extraordinary! thank you, so much!

This was a great episode. I like you and everyone else 😭. Rick didn’t want to know anything about RJ bcuz it would be one less person to love and then lose. I’m they finally got it in the end tho, the love making was beautiful. And it was exactly what Rick needed after no human contact for almost 9 years. And then he did the alligator roll and you was so right that is Rick Grimes also the good after he asked Michonne if she killed the lady that was Rick too 😂 and he had that look on his face like he was gonna find josslyn and killed her himself. Love to see Richonne in sync killing walkers, also Rick got his swag back and it was a joy to see it. Richonne is back and I hope they fuk the CRM summit up and kill the top brass Thorne and jadis. Great reaction see you at E5. Bravo to Danai for a job well done in her writing and bravo to both Andy and Danai for their acting, bring on those awards.

J'ai adoré tes réactions, quasiment identiques aux miennes ! Analyse très juste. Je te découvre depuis la France . Ces acteurs méritent des prix, même pour un zombie show !!! Merci Danai Gurira pour cette écriture profonde ! On a enfin creuser les émotions de ces 2 personnages clés de TWD Universe!

Sorry if his is unwelcomed. But you and Danai.. are simply breathtaking.

This episodeee!! 😭Loved your reaction 🩵

Your commentary is so hilarious. Love it!

This review like this episode was everything

I just love your reviews 🎉🎉

Rick barely talk with Lori when they were married.

I love your reviews!!

"God this a zombie show" 😂😂😅

Wonderful reaction as usual. Great episode.

Love your commentary!

Master class!!

Lol Jadis would be an idiot if she thinks she could recover a body from the wreckage let alone the CRM blew up the building with the crash helicopter.

I just subscribed to your channel, your review and summary is excellent 🎉🎉🎉 Rick's PTSD was spot on from trauma and realizing that Michonne is in front of him❤❤ That she's not a figment of his imagination, but really there with him🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 When Michonne put his hand on her heart to calm him and show him she's right there.That gave Rick the realization that very he was feeding was real🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉🤴🏻👸🏿ZA🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️

So excited they are on the road!!!!

Absolute 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Love your vibe and your reaction is so funny🤣 You just got a new sub!

This is my first vid of yours and I had to hit that subscribe and like lol. I love your take and your very relatable energy.

LOL at “Rick stop talking”, cause seriously! He was acting very much like Lori/Andrea. Ugh!

Back watching your reactions again. Excellent reactions.

You are so adorable thank you for your post

It is a damn SHAME neither of these two have an emmy

How yall see it already. I can't see it till 8 o'clock tonight

15:14 I swear - It was my same reaction too 🤣 And this "NOhh~"! you need an emmy too - i have so much fun to look your reaction (and thanks god for a long version most reactors make just 15 minutes and thats simple not enough to reflect this great episodes!). Well, you said it all, on point! Now I can breath a bit damn was this a wild ride of feelings. I'm done like 21:22 ! arg~ See you next week ❤🔥

EPIC EPISODE written and directed by DANAI 😘🥰💞🔥🔥💪🏿💪🏻🙏🏿🙏🏻

I don’t think Michonne was a lawyer before the fall in the show. She even said this episode that she dropped out of college. She was a creative and loved writing. We’ve gotten several hints throughout TWD that she really appreciates art as well, so she was definitely into the creative arts.

GIRL YOU ROCK 💪🏿🔥💕 You broke it all the way down 🥰 AMAZING EPIC EPISODE,Andy and Danai are PERFECT 💪🏻💪🏿🔥🔥JUST BEAUTIFUL 🌹Danai directed and wrote the entire episode 4 🤩

Danai and Andrew are just amazing actors! They’re both wonderful! Andy is so ridiculously sexy!!!!!! 😅

I really enjoyed your reaction video! This episode was FIRE! I’m struggling with making reaction videos. Can you tell me how you are able to record the walking dead episodes? Every recording software I use never works, and I’m so frustrated! Nobody will help me!

Or the helicopter pilot crashed because he was distracted by them jumping out. Either way Michonne saved them. I hope the pilot or co-pilot didn't radio in that they jumped out.
