the midseason premiere — i.e. the wipeout of the Anderson family and Carl’s right eye — and my, how things have changed. Rick’s suddenly become Mr. Sunshine, and the lightened moods of everyone in Alexandria almost make the episode feel like a sitcom. A Walking Dead comic book favorite could be the newest town resident. And, in one of the more shocking storylines ever that doesn’t involve a death, two major characters decide they’re going to turn friendship into romance. And no, we’re not talking about Rick and Daryl.
The Road Trip
Not that the Rick/Daryl bromance isn’t in full swing. With everyone in town pitching in to try to rebuild after the destruction caused by the tower falling and the quarry walker invasion, Rick and Daryl are going on a supply run. They’re armed with wish lists: Dr. Denise has asked Daryl to look for soda for her girlfriend, Tara, and Eugene has advised them that sorghum is a “criminally underrated grain that could change the game with our food situation, from scary to hunky-dunky.”
So with a grumpy Daryl begging him not to, a playful Rick pops a CD into the car’s sound system (the appropriately road trip-themed rockabilly tune “Action Packed” by Ronnie Dee) and begins to snap his fingers and sing along to the music, and they’re off.
“Thanks for letting us know,” says Rick. New guy: “Yeah. There’s more of them than us, right? Gotta stick together.”
New guy then asks if they have a camp, and Daryl says no. He apologizes for running into them, and says he’s leaving. “If this is the next world, I hope it’s good to you guys.”
Rick interrupts and tells the new guy his name, then asks his.
“Paul Rovia,” he says, pulling his mask down to reveal a neatly-trimmed beard and long hair.
“But my friends used to call me Jesus,” he adds, while standing with his arms spread out at his sides, cross-style, just to put a point on why his friends called him Jesus. “Your pick.”
