Hey, Look - Two in a Row

Wow, this is some kind of record, isn't it?  Two in a row!  That's worth a toast, but I'm already so dang tired that just taking a whiff of that beautiful Pop's Reserve would knock me out.  That reminds me - I still owe my brother money.

I had a weird day at work, and I gave myself a paper cut with foil cooking dinner (only me), and my dogs' schedule is so messed up and they won't.stop.whining.  I went for a run after work with my neighbor friend, and we ran a trail through McNeely Lake and back up the hills to the road and I'm basically dead now.  I drank a bottle of Coke earlier (judge me, I dare you!)  Then it was grad school homework, which I will just have to pick back up tomorrow night, because my brain is at capacity.

Moving on...if you haven't seen last night's episode of The Walking Dead, then STOP READING.  I usually don't give warnings, so consider this as me being fair.

Okay...I need to talk about a few things.  First of all, SNOOZEFEST.  Gosh, can't we get some more action up in here?  Blah blah blah, Carl feeds weird hyper stranger that we thought he already did weeks ago...Aaron misses his dead boyfriend - got it....Michonne and Rosita are trying to get their already-injured selves killed...Maggie gets the MVP award for the night, because Gregory SUCKS....Daryl is his normal awesome hot self....and so LET'S TALK ABOUT EZEKIEL AND CAROL.

Ezekiel is still pouting over the unjustified loss of his beloved Shiva.  Seriously - if you think her death wasn't stupid and in vain, then you need to re-evaluate your life.  That beautifully constructed CGI tiger was way stronger and way more agile than those stupid radioactive creek walkers.  She deserved a better death, and while I actually cried at this one, and it gave me all the feels like when Andy and Red find each other again at the end of Shawshank Redemption,  it was still dumb and unwarranted.  We never even learned her purpose, for cryin' out loud.  Died protecting her king?  Ehhhhhhh sure. Whatever.  But, I digress...

Ezekiel is pouting in the corner, finally realizing that he needs to drop the façade and be himself.  Jerry is blocking the door for him, not even letting the Prodigal Carol inside.  THE DOOR WAS UNLOCKED THE WHOLE TIME.  Like, how much more dramatic can you be, Ezekiel?  What are you, 5?  Did someone take away your toy and you're hiding in plain sight now, throwing a fit and really wanting attention but pretending you don't?  Then Mother Carol comes and coddles you and you still have your lip stuck out and huff and puff as she walks away. Suck it up, buttercup.

In other news, I read on Twitter today that Morgan is officially the crossover character into Fear the Walking Dead.  I have not watched FTWD since Season 1, so I'm out of the loop here - but WHY MORGAN?  I actually like the guy, now that he got his head on straight.  Why couldn't it be Carol?  Forrealz, though.

In honor of Motivational Monday, I leave you with this Demotivational poster from despair.com.  I feel as though it sums up the utter failure of the Kingdom's crew in fighting the Saviors.

And now I have to go watch my champion, Roman Reigns, beat the crap out of some loser who wants to challenge him.
