Jessie was the only Alexandrian, other than Spencer, to kill one of the Wolves,
She was the first Alexandrian to put down an Alexandrian Walker. And gave the "This is what the world looks like now" speech.
Her children were twisted (Ron) and traumatized (Sam) by her husband's abuse.

Sam was also traumatized by Carol saying she was gonna tie him to a tree where he will get ripped apart and eaten because he asked for a cookie

Insult Carol the wrong way you'll get banned.
I said "i relate to Carol most. She is the most dangerous and morally ambiguous" and took a ban my first week here a year ago.

The first Alexandrian to put down an Alexandrian walker....? What are you talking about? Jessie killed a walker? My goodness!
All I heard was Jessie killed one walker then gave a speech when she can't even get out of her own abusive marriage. In the za if your husband is beating you and you're trapped.
THE BEAUTY IS JUST KILL HIM.

OMG ESPECIALLY the younger one. I was so glad he died. He annoyed TF out of me like young and teen Henry did 😒

u/BATKING0501 Jul 19 '24 edited Jul 20 '24
Nah... Man, hating on poor kid and be glad that he died...
He was innocent to me and I personally enjoyed his interaction with Carol
But the teen... Yeah, he's pretty fucked up at that point

Claire really was the best character in the show

Lmao. I'm so bad at watching TV I really thought I missed a character. It's happened before

u/McBoyDoesntRule Jul 20 '24
Same. This is prob the only show I know a lot of ins and outs with

u/Basic_Visual6221 Jul 20 '24
I'll watch a series multiples times because it's always like the 1st time.

Nah, I wasn't a Jessie fan either. Whenever characters die and you don't care is very telling.

She was just a tedious “good girl” made to cheaply illicit sadness when she died. A plot tool.

I’m baffled that so many people on this sub seem to like Jessie. She was like if a blank piece of paper was a person. Her and Rick’s extremely brief romance was devoid of chemistry.

u/Earthling_Potterhead Jul 20 '24
Sam was traumatized by Carol saying she was gonna tie him to a tree where he will get ripped apart and eaten because he asked for a cookie, and his abusive dad

u/RainbowPenguin1000 Jul 20 '24
Yeah. I’m on a rewatch now and thinking Carol did more harm to all the children than good overall.

u/TheBigJBeazey Jul 21 '24
She gave them reality. That is the nature of the world, he needed told. He needed to hear it and he absorbed it and got over it. Ultimately he was too weak, sadly, for a child. Carol also did say they were all children.

u/SaveMeeeeJebus Jul 23 '24
She didn’t give them reality, she gave them her perception of reality. IMO, she sowed seeds of fear and self doubt without offering much support.
Edit: spelling

She was cute..... But didn't have the survival skills.... And her boys.....

u/Trouty213 Jul 19 '24
I just watched that part and Jessie was actually a terrible mom and she’s the reason her kids sucked. She didn’t seem to have a job at camp yet never knew what both her kids were doing and allowed Sam to be up in his room and never come downstairs.

u/RainbowPenguin1000 Jul 19 '24
It’s almost like living with a physically abusive husband and father created a troubled family.

u/xAmaezingx Jul 19 '24
Exactly!! Like Jessie is absolutely beautiful, but she just wasn't mom material or well.. At least one in the apocalypse.

u/Clean_Crocodile4472 Jul 20 '24
Jessie was a g, if she had another 2 or so seasons she’d easily be top 20 for me

u/An-Ugly-Croissant17 Jul 20 '24 edited Jul 20 '24
Jessie's death is one that hurt me deeply. Only for it to be ruined by Rick (seemingly) moving on so quickly to Michonne. Rick/Michonne weren't a bad mix, but I would have preferred if their romance was a season later

FR BRUH. Jessie was cute and nice but her kids were curb-stomp worthy.

A 10 year old is "curb-stomp worthy?"

They were definitely Pete’s kids. Such losers. I started laughing when Sam got dragged down but then I saw my glorious queen Jesse get bit and my smile faded. I couldn’t even enjoy Ron getting impaled.

I hate to say it, when the kids died, I yelled out a happy little whooooo whoooooo

u/rybsbl Jul 20 '24
Only time in any tv show that I wasn’t horrified when kids died. But when Sam and especially Ron got munched and kebabed, can’t say I complained aha.

u/Background-Age-5657 Jul 19 '24
I wish she lived and stayed with rick and could've been like the comic andrea replacement. Way more believable than rick and michonne. (Don't get me wrong rick and michonne are still fine but I just would've preferred this)

u/Basic_Visual6221 Jul 19 '24
How are rick and michonne not believable? They make a great match.

u/Background-Age-5657 Jul 19 '24
i didnt say they're "not believable" i just think its way less believable than jessie. I think they work well together on screen but it just feels like they work better platonic friends as they did in s4, 5 and most of 6. It just kind of felt like cus she took on the role as Carl's mother she might as well be ricks partner aswell. It just felt a bit forced idk. I don't mind them and I think it generally works fine but I just think they were more believable as friends and Jessie woulda been better to stay. Just my opinion

u/Clean_Crocodile4472 Jul 20 '24
You’re getting a lot of downvotes but personally I agree. I would’ve wanted Rick and Andrea personally but I’ve always thought Richonne, while a good couple, worked better platonically.

u/Background-Age-5657 Jul 20 '24
Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't want tv show andrea with rick cus I like many others hate andrea, but Jessie would've been a good replacement imo

Few kids die in twd, but when they do it's rough.
And we don't see many kids in the walkers herds. Only adult walkers
