I did not want or need to know crazy lady’s background story. I knew from the way things go with all things TWD I’d get one, but still hoped it would not come.

Can’t someone just be bats**t crazy?? The end of life as we knew it drove them over the edge. No back story needed. No event that made them nuts. Just happened. They snapped. Why they are so against helping people is just a symptom of their madness.

Yet we got one and what a lame story it was. If you as a writer are going to “go there” then have an awesome back story to tell. If not, then just let her be The Mad Woman of Dead World (a play on the play “The Mad Woman of Chaillot”).

Her thing with Morgan? All I can assume is he answered the CB when she called out for Polar Bear; thus in her deranged mind this is all Morgan’s fault.

And will Alicia and Charlie just hug or something? I always get the impression one or the other is going to run into the arms of the other. Maybe that is the actors subtext, that they really are attracted to each other, but it is just actor subtext (used to act pro\semi-pro and often actors employ a subtext to give their characters a motivating undercurrent that may never actually be spoken).

I really liked this show (never watched it before Morgan) and still do over the last few seasons of TWD but… this ep smacked of the bad writing and lazy pacing we get with TWD. At least at the very end the story arc moved forward a bit.
