       Rick's Speech
       By: Rapscallion Date: February 16, 2016, 4:50 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       I've never liked Rick's speech, in which he tried to keep the
       group going by telling them about how his grandfather survived
       combat in WWII by viewing himself as the Walking Dead.  It just
       felt like an excuse to use the second most famous sentence in
       the Walking Dead comic book.

       You're right it did. It was almost as if they realized they
       hadn't used that line before and so they decided to shoehorn it
       into the dialogue just for the sake of fanservice.
       The whole delivery of it just fell flat IMO and Daryl adding "We
       ain't them" didn't make it any better.

       Actually, I liked that Daryl rejected Rick's suggestion that if
       they wanted to live, they should consider themselves dead.  That
       brought Daryl out of his depression over Beth's death, and it
       showed Daryl doesn't always agree with everything Rick says.
