5 WTF moments from The Walking Dead episode 1003
By Sara Large
2. What is real?
For this moment, there are a lot of moments! Maybe? This episode left me with one huge question. What is real?! It’s hard to pin down one single moment because I’m not even sure what is a real moment. Carol is having to deal with coming back from a boat to find everything here is real. Everything has gotten tense since she left. She has also turned to drugs, every hour she is taking pills to stay awake.
After meeting with Alpha at the pikes, Carol believes she sees, three whisperers. She takes a shot at them, then trips. Nobody else see’s these whisperers. While in the school, she sees a book with her and all of her deceased children on it. She has a conversation with Daryl, that is not real, where she says some very hurtful things to him.
She is then caught in a trap upside down, where she takes a shot at another Whisperer, and falls and is injured. At the end of the episode, we do see that she has potentially killed a Whisperer as it reanimates. Did she get the kill shot at the school gym? Or in the woods? Did the back-end of the episode even happen? I have many questions, one of them being a big WTF?
While I realize this is a fictional tv show, drug abuse, and mental health disorders are a very serious and real thing so I do want to provide help if someone reading this is in need. Please reach out and know you are loved.
