It's beautiful how Michonne's way of expressing love is action then words where as Rick's is words then action. Further proof of how they balance each other.

Rick sliding that ring on while sliding that thing in was very smooth.

The way Rick knelt down so Michonne could put the packs of noodles in the back pack sent me! Petty Boots!

"Til his dying breath" y'all!

We know Rick is lover-boy extraordinaire but he and Michonne are DOWN BAD for each other and it's such a joy to watch.

With episode 5 right around the corner and so many great moments we're still gushing over from the episode 4 I've been wondering what y'all think the most underrated moment of episode 4 is?

One for me is Rick taking the book Michonne said used to be her favorite when they finally escaped the building.

When I started shipping Richonne, in Season 3, I had no idea they would turn into one of the most beautiful love stories ever shown on television. This is Incredible!

I'm watching "What We" reactions on YouTube and this episode has grown men tearing up! Bravo Danai, Andy and Scott!

I've been invested in this relationship since season 3 when Michonne arrived at the prison with baby formula. I couldn't get it out of my head that Michonne arriving with Judith's milk just as Rick was finally becoming aware of his daughter, it couldn't be a coincidence. An angel fallen from the sky.

Since that day I've been invested because I was sure that they would end up together despite the "it will never happen" I constantly heard around me. And I've dissected all their exchanges, their looks, their similarities, their differences, their fights, their chemistry over all these years. I thought I knew them by heart.

And yet, this episode showed me a whole new side of them individually and as a couple. I didn't think there were still parts of their personalities that we hadn't seen, I didn't think their love could hurt and heal them so much at the same time..

Through years, pain, destruction, despair, death, they always manage to find each other.

The word soulmate was created for them.

Now, they deserve their happy ending, they deserve to finally be able to rest surrounded by their children. The fight need to be over for them...

You know what, back to the prison, I didn't know that I had chosen to believe in the most beautiful love story. 🥹

I hope Nicotero sees what good lighting looks like.

It's brilliant the way Danai wrote Michonne realizing that she had to switch tactics to get through to Rick. I think it was partly her overcoming her own anger and frustration and partly figuring out the root of the internal struggle within Rick.

We might as well start planning the baby shower now...

...ain't no way Michonne escaped all that writhin' and carryin' on without a new lil Grimes on the way!

ALL OF THIS!

Also, can we just really take in the true excellence and impact of Michonne’s character.

She’s a black woman whose story isn’t defined by the hardship of being a black woman.

She’s given incredible emotional range. She’s absolutely badass and strong, but not stoic and stiff. She’s allowed to be as compassionate and nurturing as she is fierce. She expresses grief, loss, anger, pettiness and annoyance; she also expresses hope, love, devotion, loyalty, and bravery. She’s tough and hardcore, but also soft and feminine.

She’s not the sassy best friend. She’s not the magical negro. She’s not the stepping stone for the male MC to decide he doesn’t want. She’s not forgettable or disposable. She can challenge white characters (including the main man) without the writing trying to humble or punish her.

She’s pivotal (the ratings and fan engagement prove that). She’s desirable. She isn’t chasing after a man who barely considers her to own detriment. Her love interest loves her unconditionally. He respects her and wants her in EVERY way. He dreams of her. He can’t truly live without her.

THIS is an immaculate character, brought to life by an incredible actress who is valued in production, and backed by the narrative. THIS is what characters such as Bonnie Bennett and Abbie Mills (amongst others) deserved. THIS is what we want to see.

There's no Him without Her!

He became The Walking Dead without her and she brought him back to life and returned Carl to him. She's his lifeline!

The way these two love each other is INCREDIBLE!

We the fandom are WINNING!

Pearl is not an A.

She's a highly skilled B. Okafor had her thinking she was a special snowflake but in the presence of a true A level Queen, Michonne, she knew it her damn self. Just like Shane knew it when Rick woke up from his coma and found his family.

Michonne really had to out-crazy Rick to get him in order...wouldn't be the first time!
