You Walk Into The Nights Watch In 300 AC And THIS Is The First Thing You See, Wyd?

You walk into the Night’s Watch in 300 AC and THIS is the first thing you see, wyd?

They really gave one of the baddest dudes in the zombie apocalypse, a built-in weapon and military training.

Do they really think he ain't going to fuck shit up?

Rick Grimes and Michonne Grimes will burn it down and rebuild. And they done gave him the tools.

Hearts still beating. 

“Is Hannibal in love with me?”

He told you that if he saw you everyday forever, he’d remember that one time you two sat in an art gallery together. He turned himself in so you would always know where he was. He wanted to run away with you. He kept your surrogate daughter alive so he could surprise you when you two ran away together.

WHAT DO YOU THINK, WILL?????? YES. HE FUCKING IS.

I’m very surprised there is an “Okafor is for the resistance” theory circulating in the fandom. ‘He is fomenting a soft coup within the military to peacefully give power to the Civic Republic once the time comes.’ I’m hearing this going, what? I feel like the odd one out! What am I seeing differently?

Maybe it’s my interpretation of his vision: “Monsters that kill the monsters—that’ll be over soon.”

Okafor speaks well and is charismatic but that’s the trick. He doesn’t care about anyone’s freedom, including Rick’s or even his own. He’s a villain—someone to test our two heros’ limits and their beliefs, not support them. Well, if he and Beale were on the same path of destruction and control when they ‘recruited’ Rick and gassed Omaha, then they only disagreed on the tactics of the CRM’s coup of the Civic Republic. They split on something more subtle; Okafor wanted a soft coup but Beale wants a hard coup.

What does that make our heroes, Rick and Michonne? I think for Rick the question will be, to inherent the Lieutenant Colonel’s vision and change it, at risk of losing everything to Major General Beale—or to abandon the Civic Republic’s fight for the safety and comfort of family if he can? I think 1x02 will bring Michonne’s years gone by and her inner conflict into play. As always, she will lead Rick to make the right choice, which will affect a lot of people. ❤️

Even if I’m wrong, at some point I’m gonna argue why we should dislike Okafor and appreciate him as a villain. Think I’ll make it part of a 1x01 analysis thread: Rick, Pearl and Donald: CRM’s Alliance of Three.
