A great exchange between Carol and Paula underscores their similarities, those traits buried deep down beyond the roles they play.
#THE WALKING DEAD 6X13 THE SAME BOAT WATCH SKIN#
She’s so convincing, Maggie should be truly horrified by her pal’s ability to slip into someone else’s skin and completely disappear.

Meanwhile, the Academy would like to recognize Carol’s outstanding performance as a hyperventilating, God-fearing, rosary-bead-clutching worrywart. But when it comes to strategy, it’s definitely not wise to keep a gas can in the room with your prisoners and a woman with a lighter. Ask one of them about Negan and you’ll get a cryptic answer: We’re all Negan. The Saviors also apparently refer to walkers as “grabbers,” which begs the question - how many synonyms for “zombie” can there possibly be? (Groaners, moaners, munchers … I guess this list could, and will, go on.) And they’ve thought up a clever, mindfucky strategy to both protect their leader and elevate him to mythological status.

When Paula uses her walkie to call for reinforcements, she speaks in code to ensure they talk on a secure channel. All of them face unique challenges in walkerworld, and they’re doing whatever it takes to survive.ĭespite their poor choice in safe houses, give Negan’s gang some credit for organization. Paula’s equally unmoved by Maggie’s pregnancy, offering this blunt take: Dumb idea to make “bite-sized snacks for the dead.” By the episode’s horrific end, both Carol and Maggie seem to recognize there isn’t much difference between them and the Savior women they slaughtered. When Gina Carano explains she was going to name her baby after her father - an oddly personal admission, given her otherwise icy demeanor - Maggie doesn’t soften. Girl power!Īlthough it’s clear these five women have a lot in common, they never slip into a false sense of female bonding. Inside the Savior safe house (which, by the way, is crawling with zombies and thus not quite so safe), Gunshot Gary calls Maggie a “dumb uppity bitch” and Paula ends the ensuing brawl by knocking him out.

Gender politics are an obvious theme throughout the episode, beginning with the Lunch Lady’s gonads crack to Paula’s boy toy when he calls Carol a “bitch.” Something about the extra stank he puts on that word rubs the Lunch Lady the wrong way. Her posse is rounded out by Gina Carano, and a cig-smoking, lung-cancer-having, bandanna-wearing bruiser who looks like that one cafeteria lady who scared the hell out of you in middle school. The guy Carol shot in the arm calls her “babe,” but as Paula makes clear, he’s little more than a warm blanket with a penis.

Witt plays Paula, a recovering secretary and alpha female who doesn’t blink while negotiating with Rick and couldn’t care less about bonding with her captives. We’re quickly introduced to the voice on the other end of Rick’s walkie - and whaddya know, it’s Alicia Witt, who’s even tougher than the Florida-based paralegal she played on Justified.

That’s bad news for Mags and Carol, but great news for us, as we’re treated to another top-rate episode and the A-towners inch closer to a confrontation with Negan. The result - both Maggie and Carol were taken hostage by a particularly fascinating foursome, including three no-nonsense women with little regard for the post-apocalyptic patriarchy.

How dumb was it to let Maggie stand guard during last week’s raid on the Savior compound? Really dumb. How many synonyms for “zombie” can there possibly be?
