3x02 After Party

Loved Episode 2, even though, let's face it, that was not a town
in Galicia. Galicia is green, wet, cold (even in summer). I
know the production is going for a Spaghetti Western look, and
that they filmed outside Segovia (in Central Spain), but it's
like shooting in Arizona and pretending it's Ireland because you
want the whole thing to have a "Cowboy" look. It just makes no
sense. Anyhow . . .
I liked the references to Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery" here.
As long as the town goes along with La Ofrenda, they get weapons
and some ethanol (which I guess has a variety of uses). So
(almost) everyone goes along to get along, and we see what
happens to those who don't.
Loved the interplay between Carol and Daryl. So much of it just
body language, but it was clear that each of them knew exactly
where the other was going with this when she was speaking up and
he was going to check on the boat. They know each other too
well.[/font]
That future queen is smart. I do think she knows a lot more
than she is letting on.

I really enjoyed episode 2. The young lovers running away and
their fear of being torn apart was moving. The whole tense
dynamic of that community felt realist. It felt like they were
really trying to do the best they could to survive. Giving up
one young girl didn't feel like a huge price to pay for safety
or resources even if they broke the hearts of their parents. I
get that. It isn't like Negan trying humiliate and brutally
oppress them, but it is insidious, destroying their sense of
community as it tries to maintain the façade of happiness.. I
was surprised uncle was smiling so hard with no fear when he
opened the ribbon, then when his man took the ribbons off the
pigs, I began suspect that the "lottery" was rigged.
Daryl trying to stop Carol from speaking her mind at the meal
was hilarious. He clearly wants to stay out of the drama. Just
leave and fix the boat. Although I don't know how he and Carol
who don't know how to sail could possibly make their way back to
the U.S. alive. I hope Daryl threw the bodies of all those men
into the cage with the walkers.
I have never been to Spain. I enjoyed the scenery. It is
beautiful.

I didn't see your post so I didn't come yesterday. I will next
week. Hopefully, others will also. Thanks. 🙂

I didn't even catch that about the pigs, that seems very
feasible!
Spain does look gorgeous. I love the different color palettes
they use in this series.
This episode really highlighted Daryl & Carol's differences when
it comes to their shared values of protecting the vulnerable
from abuse. Carol is more uncompromising when it comes to
protecting the innocent. She will destabilize everything if she
has to. She acts from her trauma. Daryl is a bit more pragmatic,
he weighs the risk. Maybe the line-up situation has him
thinking: "if we stop this, do we doom everyone else?"
I liked it. I do wish we'd start moving from "this is what we
have to do to survive" themes to "this is how we rebuild
society" themes but I don't know if we'll ever see that.

I think that Carol has opened her heart since reaching some kind
of peace over Sophia. The way she was looking with warmth at the
two young lovers, while Daryl was "whatever." LOL! I prefer this
version of Carol. She seems more human if though a bit more
reckless. Daryl, on the other hand, just seems over it all. He
just wants to go home.

I was thinking the same, but then I realized that is a fantasy.
No matter how hard we try to build up our community and do good,
there are always monsters who want to burn it all down. Look at
the world we are currently living in...

They actually DID film in Galicia, as well as the Aragón,
Catalonia and Valencia regions.

So, did they spend all that time filming there only to put on a
yellow filter post production? That's crazy.

I'm loving it so far. DD beats Dead City hands down. It somehow,
even being across the ocean, has the old TWD feel to it. I am so
happy Carol was not taken!
I laughed so much watching Daryl trying to prevent Carol from
speaking out about the girls. And she was very sternly put in
her place by the old woman. I hope they can leave there without
destroying everything.
Looking forward to the next episode.

I'm pretty sure Carol does know how to sail. She spent a whole
lot of time sailing (I think the group she was with were
fishermen or something) between seasons of the mothership show,
IIRC. Now, sailing off the SE coast of the US (not sure how far
they went) and sailing across the North Atlantic are entirely
different things.

I said this to my husband and he said "that was a motor boat,
this is a sail boat, completely different". I'm like - Ok,
Captain Ahab, calm down before you harpoon the couch.

As someone used to sail, ITA with your husband. Sailing is
nothing like driving a motor boat. I love sailing and miss the
hell out of it. There is nothing like cutting through the water
on a perfect day with the wind behind your back, but it is
insanely dangerous even for experienced sailors. Getting hit by
the boom like Julian did, happens all the time, especially with
inexperienced sailors. To sail across the Atlantic with little
experience without a GPS, weather reports, etc. is basically
"dead man walking."

Caught up today on the first 2 episodes. Aside for the usual
things that don’t make sense like the survivor not telling the
boss about Daryl when he sees him at the dinner, not bad so far.
Knowing season 4 has been reportedly approved it gives them the
ability to not have to rap up this year.
Just glad to see a few others are watching and are here
discussing it.
Hope everyone is well!
