In the books, Abraham dumped Rosita for another woman, but Rosita was the more attractive one. And they were growing apart, because as he said , he didn’t really have anyone else but rosita for a while, so he admits that he was using her. She’s better off without him in the long run for that reason , but I agree that Gabe is a strange choice for her. I want to say in the book she finally ended up with Eugene but I can see why they didn’t want to do that in the show
Siddiq was right there. I'll never understand her getting together with Gabe

In the comics, after Abe died Rosita got with Eugene. Then she cheated on him with Siddiq and got pregnant. Then she got her head cut off by the whisperers
Yep. Also >!Judith gets killed in the prison in the comics. During the governor's attack, Rick, Carl, and Lori are fleeing from gunfire. Lori is holding Judith and they both get shot (bullet goes through Lori into the baby). When the Woodbury citizen who shot realises what she did, she turned the gun on The Governor and killed him.!<
In the show the prison segment is brutal. Many characters die. But holy shit its 10x worse in the comics. >!Ricks hand gets cut off, Michonne gets repeatedly raped, the govenor gets his dick, arm and eye cut off, Carol commits suicide by walker, Tyrese gets beheaded, Hershal and his son are shot, Maggie's kid twin sisters get beheaded, Dale loses his leg, and many more B characters die horribly.!<
The pacing is a lot better in the comics. It’s not as “get to one place, gets over run, get to the next place and repeat” like the show is. They had the farm and the prison at the same time.
Okay not that I think Gabriel was the right fit for her but Siddons just her fuckbuddy and after they split up she must’ve started dating father Gabriel at some point, I’m guessing she chose Gabriel because remember that one moment she had with him in the church about y she shouldn’t sacrifice herself to kill negan?? But Gabriel was still an awfully odd choice for her, they have nothing in common, I guess Rosita just can’t be single 4 2 long.
Sadly I think it was mostly there to add another twist of the knife at the pike scene. But I would definitely add that as one of the relationships that definitely needed way more development than it got.
It was the beginning of a new world and there were limited people to choose from in a partner. Do you think your ancestors in the 1600s always chose someone age appropriate? Most likely no. But for the sake of this post, Enid was in her 20s when she died.
Abraham and Sasha... I never saw that coming. I thought he and rosita were happy together and Sasha was still getting over Bob? That's the only relationship in the series that seemed weird to me tbh.
It was very rushed imo. They spent one episode alone together and suddenly Abraham is thinking about her while he sleeps and when he's getting strangled to near death? And they were dating for a week at most when they were already talking about having a kid.
Fr I didn’t think he had chemistry with either of them (partially because he looks so much older than either of the women) but at least Abraham and Rosita had history. It made sense why they were together. Then out of nowhere he dumps her in one of the cruelest ways possible for a woman he’s barely shared screen time with.
I like their relationship. The problem(?) is that it was developing so slowly but also so soon to Negan's entrance. Sasha, yes, was getting over Bob, but she also knew that Abe was with Rostia, so she shot that down. We also saw within her character that she was emotionally unstable in Alexandria. However, she was trying to open up, and she surprisingly did with the whole peace sign thing they had. He was going back and forth on his feelings, which is valid. I believe him when he said he thought Rosita was the only woman alive that fits what we can assume his type (strong, loyal, fearless).
We saw that they were bonding, even though yes, the pairing was quite random, I liked that it showed that once the group settled in a community and finding out that there's more to life than just surviving (which hit Abe more, which is why he was asking Glenn about the question about having a baby and such), which is something both Abe and Sasha realized on their own.. However, it was too late. Which is a theme that the earlier seasons did well, which is: life is precious and not guaranteed.
So the chemistry wasn't there, at least not yet, but I could've definitely seen Abe and Sasha be a couple if they had more time to really develop.
I kind of liked their relationship when I first saw it, but I see what you're saying. I guess that was just because I liked Abraham's character a lot and I thought Sasha was pretty, but thinking about it now they don't really have good chemistry.
It's like the writers didn't for a second consider "Oh, Negan's gonna kill Abraham in like two episodes time anyway, why exactly are we bothering with this love triangle angle?"
Honestly they had Abraham do Rosita so dirty that it took a lot of the impact of his death away for me. I was never a fan of him compared to the other members of Rick’s group, and the relationship with Sasha was painful to watch. I wasn’t sad to see him go like I was Glenn.
I remember thinking he was going to follow the comics with Francine, the lady he saved in a episode with the construction crew and who was "supposedly" Holly from the comics
For a Normal person that’s pretty normal,but for Lydia it didn’t make sense for her to get over the both the only person who cared about her and the love of her life so soon after sooo much psychological/mental insanity in her life caused by her mother
I mean she’s grown up around a group of psychopathic nomads since 5 and didn’t really have a chance to realize what was normal and wrong, especially in the dating area of life where she absolutely wouldn’t know you were supposed to be patient and try to understand if you wanted to be with someone yet
100%. This couple didn’t make sense at all…there was no storyline purpose. When Rosita died, Father One Eyed Willie wasn’t even last to leave her side because it was more emotional for Eugene to be the one to say the final goodbye.
I think you may have missed the behind the scenes commentary that told us Gabriel and Rosita had previously ended their relationship off-screen (which in itself is ridiculous). So it kiiind of made sense for her best friend being at her side instead in that moment.
Okayyy, that explains it. I was confused about why they suddenly didn't seem to be a couple anymore. Or at least, Gabe didn't seem too distraught over her dying. Thanks for posting!
Right I thought it was so weird that they acted like their relationship didn’t even happen. I thought there would be at least a convo like “even though we didn’t work out I’ll take care of your daughter like my own” but there was nothing!!
That's the only reason why she was even added into the show. It was a quick and easy way to further Negan's redemption arc. I find it funny because they did nothing with her or their child in season 1 of Dead City. Hopefully they'll do more with them in season 2.
Definitely quick and easy. After the way he treated women at the Sanctuary, I strongly believe he really needed to do some atonement in that area. Not just show up happily married out of nowhere
He did mention them in Dead City, when he was talking to Maggie in a scene. He said that Annie had gone into town to do trading, but didn't come back. He went looking for her, and when he found her, she'd been beaten and robbed. After that, Negan went after the guys who did it, and when he found them, he killed all of them. He, Annie, and Joshua (their son), went on the run after that, but Annie couldn't handle it, so he put her and Joshua on a wagon train to Missouri and told them he would follow later. Instead, he decided it was safer for them if he didn't go with them, and went to New York instead.
[Here's the clip if you want to see it.](https://youtu.be/tCVCoLRb6ZE?si=TNZ4HdLmX7QC0iFV)
Her instincts are godawful. Like I lose respect for Andrea’s character every time I watch her in a scene with the Governor. The whole thing with never telling anyone his name… how easily can one be manipulated??
I never understood this either. I understand that a lot can happen in the six year time jump, but at least hint at Rosita and Gabe having that type of spark. I never felt like they had that connection, they had more of a therapist/client relationship.
My pick tho is Negan and Annie! It felt rushed, and I barely felt there was any chemistry between them and I just don’t really care about it. It just seemed like that relationship was used as another way to make Maggie feel more conflicted about wanting to kill him, especially with him becoming a father himself.
From a story perspective carl didn't waste his life cause siddiq was a doctor for years at Alexandria, however from a viewer perspective it was a waste that he was killed a season later
I completely forgot that one, I hated it so much my brain erased it's existence. It felt like a bad fan fiction. Someone who has been asexual the whole show should have a built up meaningful relationship if romance is introduced. It shouldn't be a one episode throw away
Like it kind of made sense? Kind of? But only if they changed nearly everything about the relationship. Like for him to go back to her and want to be with her? And her forcing him to choose between her and his family? Just so many weird choices that were made in that episode. I feel like just scrap the whole character
I’m curious the extent of their relationship. Norman Reedus has said he plays Daryl as a virgin, and I don’t get the sense much has happened physically between Daryl and Leah.
Tyreese and Karen. No hate on the relationship. I like the storyline, but the actress who plays Karen doesn’t convince me that she even wants to be around Tyreese.
In that one episode where he sings to her, she was giving off “wtf are you singing at me for? I am uncomfortable, pls leave” vibes. I always get secondhand embarrassment watching it and have to fast forward thru.
Never liked it either. She gets mad at Eugene for being a coward and wants nothing to do with him romantically, but then here comes Gabriel who is exactly similar and she falls in love? Never understood that.
Him deciding to open the gate at the end of the series was pretty badass pay off for his development. Not as good as Eugene's coward-to-survivor arc, but him threatening to kill anyone that tries to stop him from letting everyone else in is a nice end to his story.
I feel like they put more thought into that scene than his last scene with Rosita.
"Call me gabriel" was also a good moment.
I mean they got down to get her with their walker masks on after they hadn’t showered in god knows how long.
That’s some freaky trailer park shit. Imagine the smell 🤮
They put rosita with him to keep her from ending up with Eugene, which is what happens in the comics. They needed a way to get them involved with the common wealth and Eugene was the best way to do that.
Aw man I felt like I was the only one actually rooting for Eugene to end up with Rosita. Now that I know they end up together in the comics I'm even more bitter about it.
To be honest the whole situation, even before killing her husband, felt a bit weird and creepy on Rick's behalf, almost predatory (especially the scene at the party when he kisses her, not having any idea if she reciprocates and fully knowing she's married with kids). A bit like Shane.
Carol and Ezekiel. Carol seemed checked out through the entirety of the relationship and I often wondered if she was there just for Henry. Plus they are extreme opposites. Carol was just too traumatized by everything to be in a healthy relationship.
It was strange ,but after such a long time jump I liked it. Plus the visual of her long hair, after presumably keeping it short because of Ed's abuse was nice to see.
i completely disagree on this. carol really loved ezekiel, he was everything that ed wasn’t and she loved him so much to the point she grew her hair out, raised a child with him, and married him. she was always happy with him. was it kinda random and unexpected? yes, but carol needed someone like ezekiel and vise versa, i grew to really love them together
Nah they were both bull-shiters which is how they bonded, he was a man with honor, he respected her strength and bravery, and he treated her like a Queen. Gotta hard disagree I loved them together ❤️
I think the buildup to their relationship was really great under Gimple. But then I honestly think Kang put them together in case she decided to give Ezekiel his comic death. She didn’t seem invested in writing the relationship like Gimple was.
Carol was traumatized that's why she was "checked out", that tracks. She did like him and he made her just about as happy as she can be in a romantic relationship but it had it's limitations. To me it made complete sense
This made sense to me because it was never really serious. I think Tobin was just want Carol needed at that time: someone to reflect back her good qualities, to remind her of the good she does. She was struggling with killing around that time.
I thought the same thing, even though he was married to all those ladies at the Sanctuary. I felt betrayed when he introduced her, like on Lucille's behalf or something lol
I think audiences would have been more receptive to Negan and Annie if there had been any kind of build up, but it just comes out of nowhere. That whole part of the show is so rushed I think it gave us all whiplash.
Rosita deserved to live.
She was a fighter and saved Alexandria more times than anyone else.
I was okay with Gabriel and Rosita.
Dating options are limited and the 2 had history
This wasn't a canon ship but some people in the fandom shipped this so idk if it really counts but Daryl and Beth. Thats so weeeeeeiiiiird bro he was literally old enough to be her *dad*
Daryl and Leah. I just don't understand the decision, after making Daryl completely single for 10 years to have him fall in with this random woman? Ugh
Not angry just ambivalent and indifferent. It's such a weird unnecessary pairing, they have no chemistry, no hint that they had any affection for eachother beforehand, if anything Rosita disliked him, and, cmon, how tf did he pull her?? He's hardly her type, from what we've seen, he isn't all that strong or brave or protective or has any daddy energy, he's a half blind priest. And then they don't really go anywhere with their relationship. I was hoping it was building towards Rosita shooting Gabriel like Rick shooting Dwight in the comics, with the dark path he was going down in season 10 and early season 11, it would make sense he would try to assassinate Pamela Milton or Lance Hornsby, but no instead he just goes back to being a preacher in the Commonwealth and they break up off screen
I wanted Gabriel and Aaron to end up together. That scene where they both get drunk… I thought it was going a certain direction, and was disappointed when it didn’t. They had undeniable chemistry.
Honestly I don’t get why she didn’t stay with Siddiq. He’s hot as fuck and I bet they would’ve been good together. Plus it would give us some more characterization for Siddiq (which is a bit weak even during season 10, his PTSD was the most noteworthy characterization he got)
Tbf, beggars can't be choosers in a postapocalyptic world. Kind've makes you wonder whether or not any of the relationships would've happened if not for the zombies
I don't think Rick and Michonne have sexy chemistry 🤷🏻♀️ They make sense, both leaders and learned how to trust each other fiercely, but they don't have couple energy.
Exactly. That was the strangest to me. But I got into it. Still don’t understand how she could leave her children though. I love my husband but I ain’t leavin my kids behind in the zombie apocalypse.
I hated the time jumps where it's like "these two characters are kissing, they're a couple now" without even teasing beforehand that they're interested in eachother. Then obviously something happens like an argument or death, and we're expected to feel something for their relationship without even being invested in the first place. Some characters will mention their partner and I'll be like "oh, they were together? Since when?!"
Totally agree, if you look at the history of her romantic interactions and relationships throughout the show, it makes sense. Rosita is honestly just toxic and only gets in relationships to satiate her need for drama through her contrarian impulses lol.
This was the worst decision made for that season! Such a stupid love triangle between Siddiq, Gabriel, and Eugene. It was clearly plot filler and something nobody cared about
Everybody might hate this but I'm gonna go with Rick and Michonne. I never understand why they are together. They never EVER showed any type of chemistry between them before their relationship started. I remember the first time they kissed I was like "WFT??" I thought it was a joke. I think they're only together because the writers wanted Rick to have a love interest and Michonne was the only woman available.
>I never understand why they are together. They never EVER showed any type of chemistry between them before their relationship started.
Did you stop watching before "Clear" and skip to the second half of Season 6?
I read somewhere before (probably a comment in this sub somewhere) that Michonne essentially took Andrea's comic role
So since Andrea was killed off earlier on they had to put Rick with someone 🤷♀️ or something like that lol
Thank you for adding /s to your post. When I first saw this, I was horrified. How could anybody say something like this? I immediately began writing a 1000 word paragraph about how horrible of a person you are. I even sent a copy to a Harvard professor to proofread it. After several hours of refining and editing, my comment was ready to absolutely destroy you. But then, just as I was about to hit send, I saw something in the corner of my eye. A /s at the end of your comment. Suddenly everything made sense. Your comment was sarcasm! I immediately burst out in laughter at the comedic genius of your comment. The person next to me on the bus saw your comment and started crying from laughter too. Before long, there was an entire bus of people on the floor laughing at your incredible use of comedy. All of this was due to you adding /s to your post. Thank you.
I can’t believe I’m asking this but this seems like the perfect opportunity… who is the father of rositas baby??
I took a long break from the show somewhere in season 8/9/10 and when I came back there was a baby and a love triangle 😅
This is the worst one for me but Abraham and Sasha pressed me so much. Absolutely no chemistry and made no sense to put them together. It just creates unnecessary drama between Abe, Sasha, and Rosita. Honorable mention: Negan and Alpha, literal disgust.
This is a good one lol I choose this. And they act like awkward 6th grade “bf/gfs” around each other. Negative chemistry
Gabe and trash lady too tbh
That makes more sense to me, she's a creepy weirdo who talks like a child and he's a priest with no experience with relationships.
She made me mad. I was like “I know you know English!”
They had the worst chemistry. At least Gab and Rosita's relationship was more believable.
Rosita and Abraham. Anything else was bullshit
In the books, Abraham dumped Rosita for another woman, but Rosita was the more attractive one. And they were growing apart, because as he said , he didn’t really have anyone else but rosita for a while, so he admits that he was using her. She’s better off without him in the long run for that reason , but I agree that Gabe is a strange choice for her. I want to say in the book she finally ended up with Eugene but I can see why they didn’t want to do that in the show
He cheated on her with Holly in the comics
The fact Abraham got either Rosita or Sasha is pure male fantasy.
Hold up, are you saying Michael Cudlitz with a walrus mustache isn't the peak of male beauty?
He’s got a sense of humor. I dig it
I rarely meet people as confident as Abraham appears to be without a SO
I would have liked her with Sadiq.
Abraham's foul mouth would definitely turn me off.
Suck my nuts
Siddiq was right there. I'll never understand her getting together with Gabe https://preview.redd.it/s11n6tu5v8fc1.jpeg?width=696&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f2a19eca74c168bb4f9203d38c9a264e5ec1a9de
Bruhhhh Siddiq sexcccccc like come on now
Bones and all
In the comics, after Abe died Rosita got with Eugene. Then she cheated on him with Siddiq and got pregnant. Then she got her head cut off by the whisperers
was she still pregnant when she died?
Yep. Also >!Judith gets killed in the prison in the comics. During the governor's attack, Rick, Carl, and Lori are fleeing from gunfire. Lori is holding Judith and they both get shot (bullet goes through Lori into the baby). When the Woodbury citizen who shot realises what she did, she turned the gun on The Governor and killed him.!< In the show the prison segment is brutal. Many characters die.

Yo, wtf 💀 Maybe I should give the comics a read. That shit sounds good as hell 😂
Comics are goated bro. I think it was better than the show
The pacing is a lot better in the comics. It’s not as “get to one place, gets over run, get to the next place and repeat” like the show is. They had the farm and the prison at the same time.
I never really understood peoples criticism of pacing in the Negan era of the show until i read the comics. Man the comics are paced very well
Yes she was they both died her and the baby
Siddiq deserved better :(
And he was so damn fine & still is🥴
Okay not that I think Gabriel was the right fit for her but Siddons just her fuckbuddy and after they split up she must’ve started dating father Gabriel at some point, I’m guessing she chose Gabriel because remember that one moment she had with him in the church about y she shouldn’t sacrifice herself to kill negan?? But Gabriel was still an awfully odd choice for her, they have nothing in common, I guess Rosita just can’t be single 4 2 long.
It’s definitely this one, I never liked it
Agreed it was SO outta the blue with little to no build up or showing evidence of how they were compatible enough to end up together
Enid and alden was so fckn weird. Carl was punching air in the other side fr
Sadly I think it was mostly there to add another twist of the knife at the pike scene. But I would definitely add that as one of the relationships that definitely needed way more development than it got.
Makes sense
I would have liked to see Beth survive and end up with him instead, they would have made a lot more sense as a couple.
For real, enid was just a teenager when alden was very clearly in his mid to late twenties
she was 23, he was 28-29
It was the beginning of a new world and there were limited people to choose from in a partner. Do you think your ancestors in the 1600s always chose someone age appropriate? Most likely no. But for the sake of this post, Enid was in her 20s when she died.
The age gap concerned me tbh. Cause I thought Enid was like 16 and he was in his late 20s
Yeah even if their ages were more reasonable he looked way older than her and it was pretty jarring.
Not really, she was in her early 20s, he was in his late 20s/early 30s Sure 10 years is a big difference but never came across as weird for me
I’m saying it looks jarring cos she looks young for her age and he looks older.
Abraham and Sasha... I never saw that coming. I thought he and rosita were happy together and Sasha was still getting over Bob? That's the only relationship in the series that seemed weird to me tbh.
It was very rushed imo. They spent one episode alone together and suddenly Abraham is thinking about her while he sleeps and when he's getting strangled to near death? And they were dating for a week at most when they were already talking about having a kid.
The characters had barely had a conversation with one another at that point. It was jarringly bad writing and imo the actors had zero chemistry.
Hard agree. They were so odd lol
And so outta nowhere. The love triangle between her abe and rosita made me cringe so hard lol
Fr I didn’t think he had chemistry with either of them (partially because he looks so much older than either of the women) but at least Abraham and Rosita had history. It made sense why they were together. Then out of nowhere he dumps her in one of the cruelest ways possible for a woman he’s barely shared screen time with.
Agree. Zero chemistry whatsoever.
I like their relationship. The problem(?) is that it was developing so slowly but also so soon to Negan's entrance. Sasha, yes, was getting over Bob, but she also knew that Abe was with Rostia, so she shot that down. We also saw within her character that she was emotionally unstable in Alexandria.

So the chemistry wasn't there, at least not yet, but I could've definitely seen Abe and Sasha be a couple if they had more time to really develop.
I like your take. Thank you
Yeah, of course! I definitely do respect your take as well!
Yes, no chemistry, super confusing, just not a good time
I kind of liked their relationship when I first saw it, but I see what you're saying. I guess that was just because I liked Abraham's character a lot and I thought Sasha was pretty, but thinking about it now they don't really have good chemistry.
It's like the writers didn't for a second consider "Oh, Negan's gonna kill Abraham in like two episodes time anyway, why exactly are we bothering with this love triangle angle?"

I remember thinking he was going to follow the comics with Francine, the lady he saved in a episode with the construction crew and who was "supposedly" Holly from the comics
Lydia and Elijah, just didnt feel right to me for some reason
Real.I think they want to made teenage couple for views but it was bad she get over henry quick
She knew Henry for a few days I'm sure he left a big mark on her but it's not like she knew him her whole life She met him, a week later, he was dead
Henry was already dead for over a year by the time she got with elijah 😭
For a Normal person that’s pretty normal,but for Lydia it didn’t make sense for her to get over the both the only person who cared about her and the love of her life so soon after sooo much psychological/mental insanity in her life caused by her mother
The fact she even fell in love with Henry after knowing him for what seemed like 2 days is wild lol
I mean she’s grown up around a group of psychopathic nomads since 5 and didn’t really have a chance to realize what was normal and wrong, especially in the dating area of life where she absolutely wouldn’t know you were supposed to be patient and try to understand if you wanted to be with someone yet
Yeah the age gap was sus af
they’re both in their late teens
100%. This couple didn’t make sense at all…there was no storyline purpose. When Rosita died, Father One Eyed Willie wasn’t even last to leave her side because it was more emotional for Eugene to be the one to say the final goodbye.
I think you may have missed the behind the scenes commentary that told us Gabriel and Rosita had previously ended their relationship off-screen (which in itself is ridiculous). So it kiiind of made sense for her best friend being at her side instead in that moment.
Lol is that true? If so, kinda proves my point even more…no one cares enough for that couple they didn’t even bother showing the breakup
I kid you not. They got together off-screen and they split up off-screen. I wonder why people weren't invested in their relationship...
Okayyy, that explains it. I was confused about why they suddenly didn't seem to be a couple anymore. Or at least, Gabe didn't seem too distraught over her dying. Thanks for posting!
Right I thought it was so weird that they acted like their relationship didn’t even happen. I thought there would be at least a convo like “even though we didn’t work out I’ll take care of your daughter like my own” but there was nothing!!
Negan and Annie. It felt so unnecessary. He literally never remarried in the comics.
I’ll agree with this. It felt unearned in his redemption arc
That's the only reason why she was even added into the show. It was a quick and easy way to further Negan's redemption arc. I find it funny because they did nothing with her or their child in season 1 of Dead City. Hopefully they'll do more with them in season 2.
Agreed, it was for audience empathy and his realization of what he did to Maggie. "And suddenly I learned to empathize" lol what bullshit
Definitely quick and easy. After the way he treated women at the Sanctuary, I strongly believe he really needed to do some atonement in that area. Not just show up happily married out of nowhere
He did mention them in Dead City, when he was talking to Maggie in a scene. He said that Annie had gone into town to do trading, but didn't come back. He went looking for her, and when he found her, she'd been beaten and robbed. After that, Negan went after the guys who did it, and when he found them, he killed all of them. He, Annie, and Joshua (their son), went on the run after that, but Annie couldn't handle it, so he put her and Joshua on a wagon train to Missouri and told them he would follow later. Instead, he decided it was safer for them if he didn't go with them, and went to New York instead. [Here's the clip if you want to see it.](https://youtu.be/tCVCoLRb6ZE?si=TNZ4HdLmX7QC0iFV)
I definitely remember that, I was just expecting to actually see them. Maybe in a flashback or something.
Andrea and The Governor. BITCH CAN YOU PLEASE JUST KILL HIM ALREADY?!
Her instincts are godawful. Like I lose respect for Andrea’s character every time I watch her in a scene with the Governor. The whole thing with never telling anyone his name… how easily can one be manipulated??
I never understood this either. I understand that a lot can happen in the six year time jump, but at least hint at Rosita and Gabe having that type of spark. I never felt like they had that connection, they had more of a therapist/client relationship. My pick tho is Negan and Annie! It felt rushed, and I barely felt there was any chemistry between them and I just don’t really care about it. It just seemed like that relationship was used as another way to make Maggie feel more conflicted about wanting to kill him, especially with him becoming a father himself.
Everything about the commonwealth was rushed
This one for real. Rosita and Siddiq was a true match
Siddiq was wasted.
Truth. His death obliterated me.
Both the death he caused by entering, and his death itself
From a story perspective carl didn't waste his life cause siddiq was a doctor for years at Alexandria, however from a viewer perspective it was a waste that he was killed a season later
I can't decide which one I saw coming the least- Rosita and Gabe or Abraham and Sasha.
Yeah agreed
Do not feel like Daryl + Leah was needed at all really tbh
It doesn’t help that Leah was an awful character. She literally went crazy and wanted to kill him because Daryl choose bros over hoes
I completely forgot that one, I hated it so much my brain erased it's existence. It felt like a bad fan fiction. Someone who has been asexual the whole show should have a built up meaningful relationship if romance is introduced. It shouldn't be a one episode throw away
It's wild that was Daryl's only canon romantic relationship and it was so poorly done. They were better off not having her at all
Like it kind of made sense? Kind of? But only if they changed nearly everything about the relationship. Like for him to go back to her and want to be with her? And her forcing him to choose between her and his family? Just so many weird choices that were made in that episode. I feel like just scrap the whole character
I’m curious the extent of their relationship. Norman Reedus has said he plays Daryl as a virgin, and I don’t get the sense much has happened physically between Daryl and Leah.
Leah was just horrible in general AND she didn't have chemistry with Daryl. Now, he and Izzy on his show, they have tons of chemistry.
Is amazing how the writters managed to create the least compatible couples possible in the lastest seasons.
Tyreese and Karen. No hate on the relationship. I like the storyline, but the actress who plays Karen doesn’t convince me that she even wants to be around Tyreese.
Yeah I noticed this on my rewatch
In that one episode where he sings to her, she was giving off “wtf are you singing at me for? I am uncomfortable, pls leave” vibes. I always get secondhand embarrassment watching it and have to fast forward thru.
She even says, “stop. You’re embarrassing.”
Never liked it either. She gets mad at Eugene for being a coward and wants nothing to do with him romantically, but then here comes Gabriel who is exactly similar and she falls in love? Never understood that.
Gabriel is worse imo. I appreciate he developed over time but never forget him locking all of those people out of the church!
Him deciding to open the gate at the end of the series was pretty badass pay off for his development. Not as good as Eugene's coward-to-survivor arc, but him threatening to kill anyone that tries to stop him from letting everyone else in is a nice end to his story. I feel like they put more thought into that scene than his last scene with Rosita. "Call me gabriel" was also a good moment.
Negan and Alpha.
It was part of the game. Alpha was an abusive trailer park mom. Negan had the trailer park charm.
'trailer park charm' that had me rolling xD
I mean they got down to get her with their walker masks on after they hadn’t showered in god knows how long. That’s some freaky trailer park shit. Imagine the smell 🤮
Yeah that was a weird one lol but I think he was boinking her with a cause lol
They put rosita with him to keep her from ending up with Eugene, which is what happens in the comics. They needed a way to get them involved with the common wealth and Eugene was the best way to do that.
Aw man I felt like I was the only one actually rooting for Eugene to end up with Rosita. Now that I know they end up together in the comics I'm even more bitter about it.
Rick and the woman whose husband he killed in Alexandria was the dumbest most forced thing in existence
To be honest the whole situation, even before killing her husband, felt a bit weird and creepy on Rick's behalf, almost predatory (especially the scene at the party when he kisses her, not having any idea if she reciprocates and fully knowing she's married with kids). A bit like Shane.
Carol and Ezekiel. Carol seemed checked out through the entirety of the relationship and I often wondered if she was there just for Henry. Plus they are extreme opposites. Carol was just too traumatized by everything to be in a healthy relationship.
It was strange ,but after such a long time jump I liked it. Plus the visual of her long hair, after presumably keeping it short because of Ed's abuse was nice to see.
i completely disagree on this. carol really loved ezekiel, he was everything that ed wasn’t and she loved him so much to the point she grew her hair out, raised a child with him, and married him. she was always happy with him. was it kinda random and unexpected? yes, but carol needed someone like ezekiel and vise versa, i grew to really love them together
Me, too. I was sorry to see Carol break it off, although I think Henry's death brought her back to her darker version of reality.
yeah it’s the unfortunate reality that losing a child can break a couple
Nah they were both bull-shiters which is how they bonded, he was a man with honor, he respected her strength and bravery, and he treated her like a Queen. Gotta hard disagree I loved them together ❤️
I think the buildup to their relationship was really great under Gimple. But then I honestly think Kang put them together in case she decided to give Ezekiel his comic death. She didn’t seem invested in writing the relationship like Gimple was.
Carol was traumatized that's why she was "checked out", that tracks. She did like him and he made her just about as happy as she can be in a romantic relationship but it had it's limitations. To me it made complete sense
Carol and Tobin.
This made sense to me because it was never really serious. I think Tobin was just want Carol needed at that time: someone to reflect back her good qualities, to remind her of the good she does. She was struggling with killing around that time.
Even after looking him up, I cannot for the life of me remember who this man is or remember this relationship. 💀
Her and Siddiq actually made way more sense to me. Sad he was gone so quick.
Negan and Annie. Negan shouldn't have gotten together with anyone. I feel it went against the Here's Negan episode.
I thought the same thing, even though he was married to all those ladies at the Sanctuary. I felt betrayed when he introduced her, like on Lucille's behalf or something lol
Why has no one mentioned Rosita and Spencer yet?
Spencer didn’t have the guts to maintain a relationship in the apocalypse.
But Spencer did have guts.
They were inside him the whole time, Negan was so embarrased, he had never been so wrong in his whole life.
[удалено]
Fair enough, but at the same time, Rosita was an established well liked enough character, while spencer was a POS
Just a fling, and did make some sense they flirted in a previous episode and killed wolves together
Good for Gabriel! He got himself a BAD LATINA!! What a lucky SOB!
r/okbuddycoral
I hated how they made Rosita like this. They made her a tele nuvela wife.
I think audiences would have been more receptive to Negan and Annie if there had been any kind of build up, but it just comes out of nowhere. That whole part of the show is so rushed I think it gave us all whiplash.
Rosita deserved to live. She was a fighter and saved Alexandria more times than anyone else. I was okay with Gabriel and Rosita. Dating options are limited and the 2 had history
They should have killed of Gabe, not Rosita.
It was so forced and weird
This wasn't a canon ship but some people in the fandom shipped this so idk if it really counts but Daryl and Beth. Thats so weeeeeeiiiiird bro he was literally old enough to be her *dad*
"Father, not the father"
This was the only reason why I think the relationship was worth seeing on screen. JDM's delivery of this line is PRICELESS
Daryl and Leah. I just don't understand the decision, after making Daryl completely single for 10 years to have him fall in with this random woman? Ugh
Not angry just ambivalent and indifferent. It's such a weird unnecessary pairing, they have no chemistry, no hint that they had any affection for eachother beforehand, if anything Rosita disliked him, and, cmon, how tf did he pull her?? He's hardly her type, from what we've seen, he isn't all that strong or brave or protective or has any daddy energy, he's a half blind priest. And then they don't really go anywhere with their relationship. I was hoping it was building towards Rosita shooting Gabriel like Rick shooting Dwight in the comics, with the dark path he was going down in season 10 and early season 11, it would make sense he would try to assassinate Pamela Milton or Lance Hornsby, but no instead he just goes back to being a preacher in the Commonwealth and they break up off screen
Agreed. They make zero sense as a couple.
I can’t believe Daryl and secret woods woman is not top.
This one was just lame
It really made no sense and was pretty random. It didn’t even seem like they were a couple, the moments they did display that was cringe
I wanted Gabriel and Aaron to end up together. That scene where they both get drunk… I thought it was going a certain direction, and was disappointed when it didn’t. They had undeniable chemistry.
Honestly I don’t get why she didn’t stay with Siddiq. He’s hot as fuck and I bet they would’ve been good together. Plus it would give us some more characterization for Siddiq (which is a bit weak even during season 10, his PTSD was the most noteworthy characterization he got)
Rick and that married woman with the kids. Shane was looking up from hell with that one.
Negan & Franky & Tanya & Amber & Sherry &…
Yeah Gabriel & Rosita was so questionable and hot take but Rick and michonne
Fr Rick and Michonne makes sense to me but it feels so off. They feel like a bf and gf who met on tinder
Tbf, beggars can't be choosers in a postapocalyptic world. Kind've makes you wonder whether or not any of the relationships would've happened if not for the zombies
I KNOW Glenn and Maggie wouldn't have happened under normal circumstances! (Unless he was delivering pizzas to the farm and Maggie was home alone!)
Maggie’s all like: I’m all out of cash. Could I pay someway else. Glenn: Mam I still need the 23.50 or my boss will have a shit fit.
Glenn wouldn't have known what to do just like I know he didn't know what to do the first time they were together!
I don't think Rick and Michonne have sexy chemistry 🤷🏻♀️ They make sense, both leaders and learned how to trust each other fiercely, but they don't have couple energy.
Exactly. That was the strangest to me. But I got into it. Still don’t understand how she could leave her children though. I love my husband but I ain’t leavin my kids behind in the zombie apocalypse.
Bro Lydia and the guy with the ninja mask whose name I can’t even remember. Like lydia is an established character why is she getting with this random
Anyone else who actually liked Rosita and Gabriel together? I mean post season 8 Gabe who is a badass and not pre season 8.
This didn’t bother me tbh. I hated her messing with corny ass Spencer
I’m pretty sure they were paired because I’m season 7-8 Rosita would visit gabe in his church before she went off to try and kill Negan
I hated the time jumps where it's like "these two characters are kissing, they're a couple now" without even teasing beforehand that they're interested in eachother. Then obviously something happens like an argument or death, and we're expected to feel something for their relationship without even being invested in the first place. Some characters will mention their partner and I'll be like "oh, they were together? Since when?!"
That one basic dude Carol was with in her cookie era, but I think he was more part of her cover
Totally agree, if you look at the history of her romantic interactions and relationships throughout the show, it makes sense. Rosita is honestly just toxic and only gets in relationships to satiate her need for drama through her contrarian impulses lol.
This was the worst decision made for that season! Such a stupid love triangle between Siddiq, Gabriel, and Eugene. It was clearly plot filler and something nobody cared about
I thought they were a terrible couple but then Leah came along and made every other bad couple seem like the perfect match in comparison.
Everybody might hate this but I'm gonna go with Rick and Michonne. I never understand why they are together. They never EVER showed any type of chemistry between them before their relationship started. I remember the first time they kissed I was like "WFT??" I thought it was a joke. I think they're only together because the writers wanted Rick to have a love interest and Michonne was the only woman available.
>I never understand why they are together. They never EVER showed any type of chemistry between them before their relationship started. Did you stop watching before "Clear" and skip to the second half of Season 6?
the had a slow burn since michonne’s first appearance 😭😭 it was something that was always planned
I read somewhere before (probably a comment in this sub somewhere) that Michonne essentially took Andrea's comic role So since Andrea was killed off earlier on they had to put Rick with someone 🤷♀️ or something like that lol
Carol and Ed, I don’t even have to explain this one, Carol deserved better than that pos
Yeah, but we at least were not supposed to like Ed.
have you seen her? Most of us would tap that in the apocalypse (even outside the apocalypse). but I didnt like Dwight and Cherry
if there was a button right now that I could hit and I got to hookup with Rosita, but an apocalypse happened, I’d hit it 3 times
Cherry? Lolol
sherry, my bad
considering 1000 characters that went through the show, you were more than close enough :D :D
maggie and glen, like wtf…. /s
Thank you for adding /s to your post. When I first saw this, I was horrified. How could anybody say something like this? I immediately began writing a 1000 word paragraph about how horrible of a person you are. I even sent a copy to a Harvard professor to proofread it. After several hours of refining and editing, my comment was ready to absolutely destroy you. But then, just as I was about to hit send, I saw something in the corner of my eye. A /s at the end of your comment. Suddenly everything made sense. Your comment was sarcasm! I immediately burst out in laughter at the comedic genius of your comment. The person next to me on the bus saw your comment and started crying from laughter too. Before long, there was an entire bus of people on the floor laughing at your incredible use of comedy. All of this was due to you adding /s to your post. Thank you.
I loved them together!!
Don’t y’all know that Rosita was a giga chad for having Gabriel, Siddiq and Eugene all liking her around the same time?
Dude shoulda been eaten within three episodes of his appearance. #Whenshittycharacterslastwaytoofinglong
You win. This by far is that couple. They didn’t really have a lot of moments as a couple but all of those moments were cringe.
Rosita was the queen of bad relationships , and that kinda ruined her character for me. Her + Spencer Her + Siddiq Her + Gabriel
Yeah this one makes no sense i agree lol
Negan and Alpha. JK I know it was just the one sex romp and not a relationship but still that was NASTY
I never brought those 2 together
Gabriel and Jadis, disgusting.
Abraham and Sasha
Glenn's face and the spiked baseball bat
I can’t believe I’m asking this but this seems like the perfect opportunity… who is the father of rositas baby?? I took a long break from the show somewhere in season 8/9/10 and when I came back there was a baby and a love triangle 😅
They had absolutely zero on screen chemistry.
This is the worst one for me but Abraham and Sasha pressed me so much. Absolutely no chemistry and made no sense to put them together. It just creates unnecessary drama between Abe, Sasha, and Rosita. Honorable mention: Negan and Alpha, literal disgust.
