re: The Walking Dead Season 3, Episode 5 "Say the Word"

My criticism of her isn't based on her effectiveness in the ZA, but that they have introduced her in a really lazy and sloppy way. The writers just said, "Hey there's this awesome badass named Michonne coming next season," and expect everyone to accept it and love the character. What has she done besides swinging a sword around to make me like her? I find her attitude just annoying. Maybe there's a background to her that makes her likeable, but they have barely managed to tell us her name so far.

Basically, I'm not going to like her just because I've been told to by the showrunners. I'm tired of them not bothering to accomplish things on screen.

that's fair. i think this season has moved pretty quickly pacing-wise and btwn the prison and woodbury, michonne character dev is on the back burner.

yeah i know. i understand the many challenges logistically of having to care for an infant in the ZA, but they can't just throw it away.

but there's a lot of "i'd do this" in this thread that would probably be different if the person was actually going through these situations. but hey, it's a tv show.
