Did Rick forget about Carl and Lori? Not quite.<\/b>
\nThe Walking Dead viewers will debate for years whether Rick Grimes was given an appropriate send-off in Andrew Lincoln\u2019s final episode (for now), but there\u2019s one thing everyone can agree on: it was a treat to see Shane (Jon Bernthal), Sasha (Sonequa Martin-Green), and Hershel ( the recently deceased Scott Wilson) again, after the three characters died in previous seasons. But, um, where were Carl and Lori? Surely, Rick would hallucinate his son and wife before Sasha, right? Showrunner Angela Kang has an explanation for that.
It basically comes down to Rick not walking towards the bright light.
\u201cWe dove into this idea of the \u2018third man phenomenon.\u2019 When people are close to death, sometimes they imagine seeing somebody that they knew or that they don\u2019t know that helped drive them to survive and keep them going,\u201d Kang explained. \u201cWe had these three particular characters who are sort of filling an emotional need for him in the moment, but Rick\u2019s entire journey is looking for his family, and I felt, creatively felt, that if he sees Lori or Carl he would feel like, I fulfilled my mission. I found them. I\u2019m home. I can lay down and die now.\u201d
Instead, Rick boarded a helicopter and, with respect to The Walking Dead \u2018s \u201cWestern vibe,\u201d got the hell out of Dodge. It\u2019s not as if he didn\u2019t think of them, either: he hears Lori\u2019s voice in his half-dead state. \u201c[Lori] says, \u2018What\u2019s your wound?\u2019 before he sees Shane,\u201d Kang explained. \u201cEach \u2018What\u2019s your wound?\u2019 is kind of connected to the hallucination he\u2019s having in the moment.\u201d
Rick Grimes will return in three feature-length Walking Dead TV movies. As for the rest of the characters, it\u2019s the Daryl, Carol, and Michonne show now.
