The Walking Dead, Survival Rule Of The Week: It’s What You Make Of It

This week’s episode of The Walking Dead was…unique. We spent the entire episode watching Princess dealing with her confinement at the hands of the Commonwealth’s soldiers and the dark memories such confinement brings up for her.

To sum it all up: Everything that we saw Princess experience, except for being put in a boxcar, getting a splinter, being interrogated by a Commonwealth soldier, and being brought food by another soldier…didn’t happen.

If how Princess saw things in this week’s Walking Dead showed us anything, it’s that the zombie apocalypse is what YOU make of it.

We learned that between her rather difficult childhood and all the isolation she’s had to deal with in the apocalypse, Princess’s imagination has gotten quite vivid, with her acting out whole conversations with people that aren’t really there and even imagining other people doing things in real-time that she is actually doing!

This got me thinking: The world of the zombie apocalypse will be one thing, but what it is to everyone within it will really depend on the person you’re talking about. Some people will see it as a nightmare, others, a new beginning, and still others, an opportunity. Basically, the apocalypse will be what you make of it.

So, for this week’s Survival Rule Of The Week, I thought I’d address how you can ensure that, however you see the apocalypse, you see it as clearly as possible.
