The Walking Dead Season 7 cut out a scene in the finale featuring Rick and Michonne, and we’re kind of mad they did.
Showrunner Scott Gimple told Entertainment Weekly there was a scene from the finale with Michonne, Rick and Carl that ended up on the cutting room floor. The scene occurred just before Negan confronts Rick at Alexandria’s gate.
“There is a lovely scene with Rick and Carl with Michonne and I’m hoping I put it in the deleted scenes. I’m pretty sure I did,” Gimple told EW . “That sets up that moment a little bit between Rick and Negan. And I don’t feel we needed to set it up. But it was a lovely scene that kind of did. It was strictly about time.This was already an hour and a half episode. This was sort of a long scene and it wasn’t 100 percent necessary, but I really did like it and I believe it will be included as part of the deleted scenes.That scene in my mind absolutely did happen in the show. You just didn’t see it.”
We love moments between Rick and Michonne, but throwing Carl into the scene makes this moment sound amazing. It’s been awhile since we’ve seen Rick, Michonne and Carl together as a family. We also kind of forgot Judith existed until she popped up in the finally. Some of the best parts of The Walking Dead are when the show mixes the mundane into the zombie life.
We wonder what the scene might’ve been. Could it be something like Carl calling Michonne “mom” or Rick teasing his son about his crush on Eden? The show could use some more lighthearted moments because it’s taken a turn for the dark since Negan’s arrival. We’re just glad the show didn’t cut out Rick and Michonne sexy time. Rick looks at Michonne like she’s his entire world and it’s so cute.
