So, will the protagonist be a rebel or be a barber? Which one is he really? Will he take the opportunity or let it fly by? In this story he is a barber. But, that says a lot about people and that ultimately they are allowed to choose which path to take. Can you really say that you wouldn't 'Otis' someone? If it came down to it, would you really not? People do crazy things at crazy times. People won't eat people under normal circumstances, but starve them long enough, and that taboo sometimes seems illogical. I've come to terms with myself. I'm not like anybody else, and nobody else is like me. We may be similar in shape, thoughts, motivation, dreams, aspirations, but we are all inherently different. I've stopped aspiring to be like other people, and have focused on being the best me I can. Sure, other people can help guide me, but ultimately I am the creator of my own reality and I will do whatever it is I feel like whenever I feel like. You Juliette, are fantastic as you are. The Walking Dead is a fascinating view of the world, but every character in the show, regardless of complexity, is still a simply a character. You are you, which is great. At the core, you will decipher what you feel is best, and choose in any given situation whether or not you want to be diplomatic, unabashed, rebellious, reserved, loyal, eccentric, etc. etc. All these combinations of emotions and choices are what makes us interesting multi-faceted individuals, and I, for one, am very grateful to have met an innovative and invigorating woman such as yourself. Don't change a thing! Vive la différence

I love a short story by Tellez called ‘Just Lather, That’s All’ where the protagonist has the opportunity to murder the leader of the opposing regime when he sits in the protagonist’s barber chair.

I’ve come to terms with myself. I’m not like anybody else, and nobody else is like me. We may be similar in shape, thoughts, motivation, dreams, aspirations, but we are all inherently different. I’ve stopped aspiring to be like other people, and have focused on being the best me I can.

Having seen you in action at the conventions, having some discussions with you at other times, you embody more than one character from the series. Each has flaws, just as real people do, and whether or not they have analyzed and dealt with those personal issues, you certainly have and do on a regular basis. That is your major difference with any character on tv - you are not bound to some script of your life that you cannot learn and evolve from into a better person. The characters in The Walking Dead will surely face their personal demons, and how (or even if) they deal with them will yet again be a script. You, instead, are living and learning, writing the script as you go. As they say, "You Go, Girl!" I agree with the assessment by our favored Nee..

Not to diminish Lori's mothering technique, Carol takes care of everyone because it's what she's good at, it's her strength. Surely part of it stems from Ed's abuse and a strictly defined role of what a woman is supposed to do... but even with him I'm sure she was the best wife she could be, whether out of fear or a sense of being true to her own nature. She's good, honest, faithful and strong. It's the quiet dignity that Melissa brings to the character I like so much, and her interactions with Daryl have been nothing less than heartwarming. Maybe Daryl just needs what we all need once in awhile - a mom. Maybe when everyone is fighting all the time to just live, having someone doing the little things for them every day without being asked makes their lives just a little bit easier. I know we're going to get to a point where they all realize how vital she is to this bizarre family unit. The loss of Sophia is something I don't even want to comment on in detail just now. To recover from that requires a tremendous strength that I've heard a lot of people say they could never have. I think Carol has that strength, or she will find it. xoxo Carol will always be the mother of the group.

One comment I do have regarding her back seat in the search for Sophia... She has lived under a mans abuse for so long that to actually go out and do something such as searching herself was not an option. I could see her feeling she would get in the way if she went out with someone or going out on her own would just be foolish as she would probably end up walker food or lost and then the search for Sophia would also become a search for her. Coming from an abusive marriage she has strategies to survive. That is why she cleans,cooks and does laundry. It is her coping mechanism. I can't wait to see the changes in her now that her child is dead.She is alone now and needs to learn all over again who she is and what her role is in life.It hurts to think of her without her beloved child but I think(hope) she becomes a strong woman and kicks walker butt!
