They’ve used Tyreese, Ben, Donna, Milton, and Martinez’s names that I can specifically recall. I had to consult the internet for Sasha and Allen. The show is a little slipshod about names for the supporting and guest cast. > [@carnivorousplant](#): > > You are correct. I thought she was his daughter. I don’t recall them specifying their relationship on the show, but they may have. I’m curious if the show will use Tyreese’s background as an NFL player. If they do, that will mean that the major black male characters have been a super-religious guy, a convict, and a pro athlete. Yeesh. When Tyreese dies, maybe we can get a blues musician. ---

Double dose of artificial drama this week. Tyrese saved White Guy’s wife (From what? Zombies? Eating yellow snow? Wearing white after Labor Day?) once. Consequently, White Guy has been nursing a pretty big grudge. These folks traipsed through zombie land together for a year. Surely, everybody has rescued everybody else by now. Even Rick’s group (who have the emotional maturity of middle schoolers) aren’t so dysfunctional as to make a big deal out of who saved who from what, when. Additionally, Woodbury’s powers that be seem to be unable to distinguish members of new groups (ie. Ty & Co.) as individuals. They can yell and come to blows with each other, right in front of trusted Woodburians, but there’s an expectation on both sides that they will be judged collectively and either all stay or go together. “You’re screwing it up for all of us!” will inevitably, and inexplicably, become a major point. ---

OK, I forgot about that part, the situation is more complex than I recalled. Point taken. Guy is mad at the universe for putting the other guy in the right place at the right time to pull off a heroic save, instead of himself. The resulting rearrangement of spousal confidence caused a bruised ego and a lingering feeling of impotence. So now he’s all et up with smoldering resentment for dead wife, Ty, and himself. Good grief, how contrived and silly. It’s more of the rather weak, unrealistic, adolescent-level interpersonal drama we’ve been slogging through in between increasingly uninteresting action. ---

Sadly, I have no trouble believing that Woodbury leadership would have such a foolish, counter-productive rule (or outlook) in place, because they are written as needlessly antagonistic fools. Then again, this could just be an assumption on Allen or Tyreese’s part…The Governor and Martinez might not care who came in with who, just who’s willing to follow orders and work hard and who isn’t. > [@Furious\_Marmot](#): > > Guy is mad at the universe for putting the other guy in the right place at the right time to pull off a heroic save, instead of himself.

Good grief, how contrived and silly. It’s more of the rather weak, unrealistic, adolescent-level interpersonal drama we’ve been slogging through in between increasingly uninteresting action. “People shouting is drama!” This one had better legs under it than most of the melodrama, in that being in Woodbury freed Allen to try and be the big man again: survival isn’t a minute-by-minute affair anymore, and he can afford to antagonize half of his group for the sake of his own ego. So, it can be taken as a statement that humans cooperate selflessly in the face of danger, but once the danger has abated, squabbling and politics resumes. ---

It’s not remotely confined to this show, but the use of the magic bullshit detector trope was also irritating. The Governor knows who torched the zombies because Milton acted uncomfortable (which is sooooo unlike him) and Tyrese said “Huh?”. Case closed, wisdom received. There are plenty of real life deluded assholes who think they have an infallible sense for when someone’s lying. It would have been cool if the writers played with that. The Gov goes off smugly confident in having ferreted out Milton’s malfeasance, then we get to puzzle over it while waiting for the big reveal next week. Instead, it’s just an info dump gussied up with some fake tension. One commercial break’s worth of suspense, then he susses it out for us and the plot shambles along to the next yell point. ---
