So I’m in the middle of season 6 (my first time watching the show), and I’m finding the believability of Enid’s performance all over the place. In the episode that filled in more of her backstory, I thought the actress performed beautifully. Like the scene where she’s crying in the car after her parents get eaten. Or where she’s just wandering the woods alone, hiding from walkers and looking terrified. Good stuff, emotional, believable. But I’m the sappy teen romance scenes with Carl - I suddenly feel like I’m watching some low rate CW show. But I can’t tell if that’s more because of the writing, since it IS supposed to be silly little teenage dramz happening between them? And then also, whenever the show asks us to buy that Enid is a badass who can go off into the woods alone for long stretches of time - nope. I don’t buy for a second that this character is physically strong or mentally resourceful enough to handle herself out there on her own. She’s no Michonne. She’s no Glenn. She’s not even Tara. Like, by a billion light years. Hell, Enid even seems like she’d be one of the weaker links in a group scenario! But so, is it that the Enid actress is just kinda lame and lightweight? Or is it that the show is silly for asking us to believe that a teenage twerp with so much less experience than our core group could fend for herself alone? Both/and?
