The Walking Dead: Splinter – fans react on social media
By Renee Hansen
People who watched The Walking Dead “Splinter” had very different views on the episode. Some thought it was amazing to represent people with PTSD and ADHD with the deep dive into Princess. Others thought it was a waste for a whole episode dedicated to one character.
I am personally enjoying the bonus episodes. They are very different than a normal season, but that is to be expected. These episodes are not only filler episodes but were also filmed during a pandemic that forced the creators to get very creative to keep the cast and crew safe.
“Splinter” also gave us a better look at the soldiers from the Commonwealth, but we still don’t know if they are friendly or not. Since more characters from the Commonwealth have been cast, we will get a closer look at this community in season eleven.
Fans react to Splinter on social media.
When Princess said this about her age, I believe many of us could relate because of all we’ve gone through in the past twelve months!

Princess: 28,29 I don’t know. I could be 50
Me: She sounds as if she’s lived through 2020. #twd #TheWalkingDead #WalkingDead pic.twitter.com/wwgt8ckgOk
I thought the conductor walkers with Ezekiel were an outstanding addition. This is all taking place in Princess’s mind, and if you remember, she had many walkers dressed up and staged back in the city. This is how her mind coped with being alone for so long.
Why do those walkers with Ezekiel have so much drip? #twd

MANY fans were so grateful for The Walking Dead for highlighting mental health in this episode. It is always nice to know you are not alone in your struggles.
We also have to have some comedic relief on live-tweeting nights. This Abraham Ford parody account always delivers.
“Tell me why they’re here.” Well, my friend with the ponytail is horny. #TheWalkingDead

Many enjoyed the badassery of Princess. Despite all that she was experiencing, she didn’t miss a beat when she needed to defend herself. I think we all knew turning that gun over wasn’t a good idea.
I actually liked that episode inside the crazy mind of princess. She was kind of badass at times, psycho at times and she beat the holy hell out of that stormtrooper. The one mistake she made that you CAN NOT make is giving that fucker his gun back. Hold him hostage!!!!!#TWD
