It was a smirk AND a hat. It's abundantly clear that The Post lit this kid up because of his hat. You can listen to what was said about him by supposedly serious news people and celebrities for days. You don't think this would have an impact on a 16 year old?
If a group of 16 year old girls waiting for a bus in ***** hats had a far right group began spouting vulgarities at them and then an NRA marcher got in the face of one of them chanting at close range and she smirked, what would have been reported in the Post? Would Comedy Central rate the punch ability of her face?
How is this unit different from tobacco suits? Were any of those people on track to knock down hundreds of millions in their careers?
Understood, but they do have arrows so there is some distance advantage. The other group can bring in a million walkers any time though. Also, Judith has a gun. I doubt they let her be the owner of the last available gun.
I'm loosely aware of the comic and pictured Alpha's intro differently. They took a lot of mystery out of it too soon IMO. I am interested in how Alpha got followed and didn't just end up dead 5 minutes after going outside.
Even if the main group doesn't know how many there are total, why not just mow them down? They seem all about close combat without many guns. Just shoot them from a distance. Maybe that would be stupid.
For whatever reason I wasn't impressed with Alpha's debut. IMO they messed up the back story because of Lydia's brainwashing/confusion and Alpha's accent sounded stupid. She did not, in that brief moment seem like anyone that would be followed. I hope they develop that a little more.
The girl playing Lydia did a nice job but Henry would have been more careful. He looked like @Joe in Winslow seeking an online date.
