Warning: Full spoilers for The Walking Dead’s “Warning Signs” follow…
Welp. I don’t know how you side with Rick, as idealistic and optimistic as he is, after “Warning Signs.”
I’m not saying this guy needs to go down, or anything that drastic, but the ending here, which sort of wrapped up a three-episode arc involving everyone needing the Saviors to build a bridge and many of said Saviors going missing, made a very convincing case for eliminating these a-holes and salting the soil behind them.
Sure, there’s a balanced debate to be had about second chances and moving past the violence. I get that. I’m just saying that maybe something should be done, judgment should be weighed, on a case-by-case basis. Bring all the Saviors out for individual trials. Rick would love everyone to forgive (and possibly forget) just because he has, basically. And he’s right to a certain extent about there needing to be a unified front of mercy, along with a charter (that Michonne is currently cooking up), for society to move forward. But maybe this generation can’t do that. Or, in the very least, it’s foolish to expect them to without much more than a rousing speech to guide them.
