I liked her on House of Cards so I’m excited to see more of her as she portrays Female Milton. Odd group but very intriguing. She’s gotta be a recruiter of some sort for some “advanced” community (like a better Hilltop with the windmills etc)

 

I find her character jarring. She is from our world, not theirs.

 

She's interesting because she shows that not everybody left in their world needs to kill or be in constant conflict with others in order to survive.

I'm hoping it shows what I believe, that the post apocalyptic world is always shown to be this hostile world where people are killing one another for supplies. I think that's wrong. I think the world would be much more peaceful than how it's usually shown in these types of stories.

 

She must be spying on the Hilltop for quite some time before making this move of 'friendly' gesture. She is unlikely the one to do the stealth observation but some other members of her community. After a good report, then she makes the move to approach the Hilltop. This cannot be a pure random act. It is a well prepared and well thought out move. Imagine what Negan would have done to her if she makes a similar move to the Sanctuary. She would be told ''all your belongings now belong to Negan, including the van. Now, lead us to your community...'' In fact, her calm demeanor is probably due to her having a very strong backup force. If she does not return to her community by a certain time, I bet a powerful force will arrive soon.

To me, she is a much more advanced version of Deanna. Remember Deanna began to draw up plan of a vegetable garden for self supply? I think, this woman looks like her community has already done that and much more, with the knowledge of that book.

BTW, her 2 bodyguards remind me of the twin henchmen in the Matrix Reloaded (with their similarly styled sunglasses)

 

She is so reminiscent of both Negan and Deanna. Same story, different chapter. I like her, though. She was very confident, and I think I could take her backup bodyguards. She wasn't worried in the slightest.

 

She doesn't seem broken enough to be honest. Just like Deanna wasn't...all her family was still alive.

You're not real in this world until you've seen everyone you love die. Maggie and Rick are the stronger leaders because of it.

 

I like her and the odd security duo because I'm intrigued. She's giving away knowledge... Again I'm not getting it because any survivor from any community could get that info.... It's called a library!! Overall (at present) she appears to prove that being good is better than evil/killing.

As an aside did the duo have weapons/guns when frisked?

 

Yep, Rosita and Enid took their guns

Not quite. You can read about mills and aqueducts in the library, but I don't know how likely you are to find detailed plans to build them.

 

In a real world apocalypse, it might be wise to relocate to a university town and hope some of the engineers, M.D.s, agriculture experts and so on would be survivors. Plus, they are already used to a secondary community thriving within the main community.

 

It's funny how prisons always seem to fall fast in these shows, but they're more like total institutions than anything. And what about military bases? Why do they always go down so quickly?

 

Probably the military bases are wasted because everyone is sent out on dangerous missions.

Prisons.... Death by starvation?

 

I guess I also imagine a lot of refugees would head to military bases and it would be hard to control all of those civilians in a panic and it's eventually overrun that way

 

Pretty sure it is because they are as good at keeping people in as out!
When the Dominoes of Death start to fall no one can get out of the way fast enough.

 

The book she gives Maggie is another example of how the "tv apocalypse" is much different than how it would be irl.

It's a book that contains information that can be found in any library. We've seen libraries so we know they aren't touched. If I was trying to live in that world, that's one of the first places I would go. I don't have the first clue how to build a windmill, set up solar panels, or clean and butcher a deer. But I could find that info in a library.

 

My memory is fading but I think there was a group of survivors staying in a library who were all killed by the Wolves.

 

They were killed by the saviors. Simon took the last survivor of the library group and hung him from the highway overpass to give Rick's RV group a message.
