Note: Full spoilers for the episode follow.
Let me get my big complaint about “When the Dead Come Knocking” out of the way, which is simply… What the hell, Michonne? Her behavior when first brought into the prison was just ridiculous. Enough with the glowering. Enough with the silence. This was not the time. I get that she’s a very guarded character, but this was just exasperating to watch, and Rick calling her out on it (“You came here for a reason!”) didn’t make it better when she initially wouldn’t even say her name. The Walking Dead has not been great with the portrayal of many of the female characters and Michonne is a character I desperately want to like – and really do in the comics. So I hope they can figure her out soon. Attitude is fine, but it has to be balanced better than this. Also, it was a bit convenient how she never mentioned that a guy named Merle, or hell, a one-armed redneck, was the one who snatched Maggie and Glenn, so as not to have Daryl (or Rick) realize who it is yet.
