The bad things from TWD 910
That intro. Seeing Alpha singing and cuddling with Lydia in a flashback isn’t doing much to set the tone for her to be a ruthless villain. Humanizing the character before establishing how much of a cut-throat survivor she has become makes it an odd way to build a character.
Henry’s got some loose lips. Telling someone from a group of killers about the Kingdom and his family as well as about how far away it is is a huge gamble, but he felt okay sharing that information with Lydia. He has to learn to be more choosy about who gets vital information.
Attempting an escape. Lydia’s attempt to grab Daryl through the cell was very poorly thought out and didn’t help her or her group’s position when it comes to bargaining. That action set everyone back. If she had just drunk the water and said “thank you” she could have built off that trust, even if her intention was to deceive later.
Not being able to believe in change. Lydia has been conditioned by her mother not to believe that people can live like they used to. The beatings have taken a real toll on her and she isn’t able to make any real decisions for herself anymore. While the world has changed to accommodate the undead, that doesn’t mean there is no place for the living anymore and thankfully Lydia learned that lesson.
Kelly and Connie staying behind. One of the worst things that can happen is getting separated in the dark at night with multiple threats out there. Not sticking together puts everyone in more danger and isn’t boding well for Kelly or Connie’s chances of survival.
