That would facilitate the meeting. If they do play out that scene and overpower the Saviors.
Yeah, that cookie said it all, I think.
I think it will be Sam playing the part of, you know.
Jessie in the show is much tougher than Jessie in the comics, so maybe it's just Sam left pining for the fjords.
A bitter angry Ron would add extra tension and drama from within. Threats from outside and from within is a constant theme.
I still want Morgan to wake up. He's not Eastman. He doesn't have his education or training. Morgan claims that all life is precious, and yet he feels perfectly OK with allowing others to die as a result of his following his path. He lets people go, allows murderers to live, even lets them take a gun - and had they killed Rick, Morgan would have gone on thinking his way is the right way. Rick might have been dead but Morgan's conscience would be in the clear - and that's all that matters to Morgan.
His pet will probably kill Denise, and Morgan will go on thinking his way is the right way. He told Rick and Michonne that he accepts that his actions could result in the deaths of others. How precious could life be to him?
Morgan has come to believe people can change. And that's true to an extent. What he doesn't take into account is that some people are pretty much the same now as they were before the walkers. The walkers emerging didn't change everyone. Their arrival merely freed some people from the restraints of society. Whatever was keeping them in check before is now gone. They have free reign in the walker world to act however they want - raping, murdering, stealing. Whatever.
They can now do it with little to no consequences. No Johnny Law to stop them.
I think Shane was always a violent man. He was always a bully. Always on the verge of hurting someone. The walker world allowed him to unleash the beast, so to speak. He wasn't as bad a Negan or the wolf-people, but he was on the destructive side of the scale. And in time, he could have grown much worse.
Degrees of and nuances matter a lot in this world.
Morgan was decent at one time. He had a frame of reference of who he used to be. He had something to come back to - his pet wolf doesn't. Morgan not knowing the difference is a danger to everyone.
