#twd 8.01

         “Mercy prevails over my wrath” — obviously that’s tied to Rick, but it was first uttered by Siddiq. To give an eye into our process, at first, we were going to play a version where maybe Michonne and that group was sort of siloed from the information about Siddiq. But in talking with Danai, she felt like she wanted to be able to honor her connection to Siddiq, which I think was a really valuable thought. Because there is this very deep connection to her family and Carl. Siddiq was really important to Carl.          And so then he was really important to Rick and Michonne too. And I think being able to have this comment that immediately ties both the love of her life and this dear friend who was like family to her who just died — it all kind of worked. It just felt like it kind of did this nice triple duty in the moment and our actors did an amazing job playing it. - Angela Kang

8.01 Carl’s dream – You can’t see it yet, how it could be, but I have. You have a beard. It’s bigger and grayer. Michonne’s happy, and Judith is older…

Andy was like, “What the…? How um…?” I said, “You should just be happy! Rick should just be happy! Just go with it, baby! Go with this!” – Danai Gurira

This is the end of it.
