Meaks and Margot discuss season two, episode ten, “18 Miles Out” as contrasting sister and brother storylines while we figure out what to do with Randall (and our souls) and how to convince someone this world is worth living in (you can’t!). In particular, we draw a contrast between Rick, who wants to take a knee before acting, and Shane, who has become an unhinged, act-violently-first kind of guy, and how all that reflects on the conversation that’s happening about suicide at the farm. We also get some more action in this episode which is done well, but you know we always want the drama. And of course, we gotta talk about gender essentialism in the apocalypse!
Other topics and tangents include kabbalah and the significance of the number 18, vulnerable men-talk, Rick doesn’t understand snow, being cavalier about infections, buddy cop zombies, praise for silent storytelling vignettes using locations, unionize the farm, and Kirkman says some stupid shit about pregnant people.
