The Walking Dead season 10 boss on Michonne – Ezekiel moment

On tonight’s The Walking Dead season 10, we had a chance to see a moment that we definitely didn’t see coming. Think along the lines of Michonne and Ezekiel sharing a moment. It wasn’t something that lasted, but you still saw Ezekiel kiss her … and for a brief second, maybe she thought about there being something there before there wasn’t.

So what motivated this move? Was it something that he really felt was going to turn into something more, or did he just want to cling and hold onto something? Speaking in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, show executive producer Angela Kang explained it as follows:

Ezekiel is clearly going through a lot right now. He’s lost so much and that character is like a Tigger, you know? He’s optimistic and he really takes on a lot of the burden of being the cheerleader for his people. But we’ve also seen that he is able to fall into pretty deep dark depressions as well. When he lost all his people during the All Out War battle on the Savior outpost, we saw that he was in a pretty bad place. So we really kind of wanted to deal with Ezekiel and where he’s at emotionally and the sense of depression and just thinking for a second then maybe he might want to end it.

Kang also did describe Michonne’s reaction to the kiss, as she briefly did decide to entertain the idea:

On our story, it’s been close to seven years now since Rick’s been gone., I think in the way that Danai played it, she gives in to it for just a second. For her too, it’s the weight of leadership. For both of them, it’s nice to connect for a second, but then it’s like, no, no, no, no, this is all wrong. We don’t have those feelings for each other. So they both pull away from it. And they even joke about it afterward, you know, she tells him he’s not a bad kisser. I think it’s just one of those things that’s complex between people sometimes.

In the end, we’re hoping that there are still opportunities to see these two characters spend time together — even if there is no romantic connection, that doesn’t mean that there is no connection. They’re both people who have endured a lot of trauma. In that way, they do need each other. They’re going to continue to need each other to make it through every storm and trial coming … and that includes so much more in the way of Whisperer carnage.
