(post shortened)

That would assume that Paul “Jesus” Rovia had seen the script and knew that Rick and Daryl would be running the Alexandria 10K to catch up with him.

Haven’t we all?

The actress who played Deanna also played a recurring defense attorney character on Law & Order, IIRC.

According to the Talking Dead pop ups, the actors playing Rick and Daryl watched the movie _Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid_ for inspiration before shooting these scenes. (I find that watching the Talking Dead is almost mandatory if I want to learn of the bits and pieces that the editors and directors left out of the aired story.) In the movie version, Butch and Sundance appeared to be barely competent, but sweet, bank robbers. The best of their plans repeatedly failed. My best guess is that Rick and Daryl didn’t take both vehicles because Butch and Sundance didn’t split up. IMHO, of course. 😃

Her name is Tovah Feldhshuh.

Historically, what exactly _is_ a field shoe anyway?

Are you talking about 20th Century athletic shoes? ISTM that Feldschuh is probably older than that. I’d think that people who worked in fields would wear boots. Maybe they sometimes wore hobnail shoes?

I am being facetious.

Tovah Feldshuh (Goody Fieldshoe?) is 62 years old, has performed on broadway for over four decades, and does pushups on set, in the Georgian heat, to quiet her mind.
