If you know your Greek Mythology, you'll remember that the beautiful Persephone became trapped in the underworld with Hades after she ate pomegranate seeds. It's significant that the fruit Ezekiel offers Carol when they first meet is a pomegranate. And so her first instinct is to flee the Kingdom, no matter what Morgan or Ezekiel say. But she's also distant and broken, not looking to fight nor to rest. She's still playing games, playing the "golly gee whiz" fool with strangers to earn their trust and steal their clothes and knives. The woman who wakes up in a bed in the Kingdom is somewhat of a hybrid of those two. But last season Carol went through a deconstruction, a traumatized victim who seeks solitude.
Her journey from battered housewife to cold warrior was one of the things that made The Walking Dead great. Carol, you in danger girlĭon't think we (or the show) forgot about Carol. This brings up so many questions: How far does the Saviors' territory go? How does a community as well-armed as the Kingdom end up subservient? Have they done the pig thing before? Will the whole season end when Negan has a barbecue next episode?īut hey, at least Morgan has a new project! I just wouldn't get too attached to that cute kid and his cute little brother. But that tribute is not exactly FDA approved. Even though he’s a King, Ezekial is still paying tribute. The reasons for the undead kibble become clear when we see who the pigs are for: the good old Saviors (they’re like ants). It’s totally chill and normal except that it’s a secret hunting mission and they feed the pigs Walkers.
To pay back the medical treatments the Kingdom has given Carol, Morgan joins Ezekiel's hunting party, going after wild pigs. He rules his Kingdom, which seems to have a pretty good thing going (don’t worry, we’re sure that will change soon). Yes, here is a man who calls himself “King,” who’s got a tiger as a pet and who talks like Shakespeare’s annoying younger cousin (more on him later). Who thought up this great system? Enter King Ezekiel, stage left.
