The Walking Dead 902 panel discussion: The Bridge
By Sonya Iryna
Saviors are going missing, Rick and Maggie are struggling with the demand of leading the communities, what does the future look like for these groups? Our panel gets into the big issues from this week’s TWD.
On The Walking Dead this week Maggie and Rick are both coming under fire for their decisions when it comes to community relations. Maggie doesn’t really want to help the people at Sanctuary by giving them food which they desperately need. And Rick is still trying to force The Saviors and the rest of the communities to get along although that isn’t going well.
Considering that it’s now 19 months since the end of the war and the communities still aren’t getting along it’s probably time to start thinking about alternative ways for everyone to live together rather than trying to force the groups to work together. But Rick is determined to make it work and get everyone on the same page because that’s just who Rick is.
Maggie, on the other hand, is struggling with the burden of leadership. She won the election to be leader of The Hilltop based on her capability and her years of experience in farming. And The Hilltop is thriving from a supply standpoint. But her execution of Gregory and keeping Earl locked up for a month has not sat well with some of the people at The Hilltop.
She doesn’t want to help the people at The Sanctuary by sending them food, but Michonne and Jesus are giving her good counsel about how to keep peace among the communities which includes helping out The Sanctuary. Whether or not she will continue to listen remains to be seen. Let’s get into some of these issues in more depth with our panel:
