My 70 year old mom, watching for the first time. Part 2.

I’m tired today. We watched until almost 1am this morning. There were a lot of episodes and she had a lot of different emotions. Bear with me I’ll do the best I can.

We are at the part where Rick, Glenn & Hershel bring Randell back to the farm. So I’ll back up a bit.

Amy’s death, mom was more grossed out than anything. She’s still getting used to the gore and looks away often. She was sad Andrea didn’t get to give the locket to Amy while still alive. Mom really wanted Jim to be put down or thrown out of the RV, him being bit and inevitably turning had her very concerned. Every time anyone would get near him, she’d yell for them to get away and call them stupid. She mumbled under her breath a lot during this episode.

Fast forward to CDC, mom was relieved they were safe but because what my mom did for a living she called it early. “ I bet that the cdc is going to be destroyed.” This was while they were drinking and eating, toasting Jennings.

After Shane attacked Lori in the game room, “ that’s it, he’s a creep! Ew, he’s awful, take a hint buddy!”

She disagreed with Jennings locking them in. She understood Jackie and Andrea wanting to stay. She surprised me by saying she’d want to try and go back out to rebuild. Always figured my mom would opt out. 🤷‍♀️

She’s torn if Dale did the right thing. Still wants to trim his eyebrows.

Interstate; mom is starting to suspect that parenting skills are not up to par for a zombie apocalypse. She’s pretty upset that the kids seem to be able to wander off by themselves.

Sophia situation, mom is mad that she left her hiding hole so soon. Called her a dumb brat but positive Rick will find and save her.

Carl shot; for one mom didn’t understand taking him into the woods to search for Sophia. She’s seriously starting to question parenting abilities!

After Carl was shot and that episode was over, mom was positive it was Merle that shot him. She is pretty damn sure he’ll show back up. She’s not worried about Carl, it’s not like a show is going to kill kids.😬

Mom is happy Shane is leaving. She’s starting to not like Andrea much but trying to cut her slack since she lost Amy.

Farm; oh boy! So much happens I’m going to try to condense this down. Carl, she’s seriously not worried. There was a brief moment before the seizure that she was worried that they would indeed kill a kid. After she doubled up on knowing at least the kids are safe.

She’s starting to warm up to Daryl, she digs how he doesn’t give up on searching for Sophia. She’s also getting pulled into the idea of Daryl and Carol, she’s sure that’s where it’s going.

Otis being murdered just concretely put Shane into asshole category. He ain’t getting out.

I could hear my moms eyes roll at Lori’s pregnancy. Right away she said it would be Shane’s. Moms starting to think Shane isn’t leaving. It’s very hard to keep my mouth shut, so far I’m good.

Mom thinks Rick is definitely the more level headed leader. She agrees with Shane as far as the barn and moving on goes. She’s pretty sure Sophia has been picked up by someone and will be missing until a later season.

Mom has fallen more in love with Glenn. She is digging Maggie. She finds their banter and back and forth comical. Mostly because Glenn keeps ending up with secrets he can’t keep and that makes her giggle.

Mom is disgusted with Shane’s looks and openly sighs in disgust when he walks out shaved headed and in Otis’s overalls.

Mom thinks something is very wrong with Hershel. Kind of thinks he might be evil. Not sure why outside of the barn full of walkers.

Sophia is dead and my mom is shook! They will definitely kill kids and this has deflated what my mom thought she knew about the show. Poor mom.

I’m sure I left out a ton and will try to answer any questions in the comments. It might be later though as I’m getting ready to go to moms to watch some more.
