His presence has heavily influenced both her writing and her career. Over the years the two have become very close, and Guirgis finds her to be a “kindred spirit,” often referring to Lázaro as his best friend. At the end of her final year at Columbia, she was mentored by playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis over the course of the production of her thesis play. Lázaro completed her Master's Degree in playwriting from Columbia University in 2013. In 2009, she graduated as a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a degree in dramatic writing. Lázaro later left to study at the State University of New York at Purchase. ![]() Mostly, the scene just stood as a sad reminder that we won't get any resolution regarding Connie for a while.Lázaro was born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Carol got the "you can't give up everything about yourself because bad things happen" nugget, which is actually good advice for everyone on the series. And Carol got the "okay" from Kelly, who basically forgave her for maybe/probably getting Connie killed. The show chose to go the "screaming and punching" reluctant hug route, which is sort of a narrative shortcut for reconciliation. All in all, their uneasy understanding felt kind of rushed given the baggage between them. ![]() Which does make sense given what he did to her, her mom, and also his need to win the love and respect of kids. Throwing in a few other exchanges here.Negan felt the need to try and make amends with Lydia. She can feel bad about things, but also realize that you can leave an enemy carcass in the forest. The Whisperers put her fiends heads on pikes. Not that Judith needs to be heartless, but her asking that Daryl actually pick up and carry the woman's dead body somewhere else didn't feel like something Judith would request. It was a sweet moment and one that helped solidify Daryl's presence on the show even more, as the one true anchor, but it was also kind of ushered in by an odd moment where Judith felt bad about leaving a dead Whisperer in the woods. She didn't tell him about the Rick breadcrumbs because she knew how long and hard Daryl had searched for his friend's body out in the woods and she was afraid he'd leave to help Michonne track Rick down. Play Daryl and JudithJudith told Daryl that she'd spoken to Michonne, since that walkie chat apparently happened when Hilltop was on fire, or soon afterwards. Side Quest(ion): Anyone know what city this is supposed to be? Without Jerry around, Princess feels like a good pairing for him. ![]() Also, we know Ezekiel doesn't have a lot of time left so it's good to see him smiling and enjoying someone else's company during his final days. ![]() Anyhow, Princess - and her wild, erratic vibe - was part this chapter got right. But it's probably worth it just to have someone around, a true survivor, who's not a glowering a-hole. She means well but she can't fully be relied on to make smart choices. Is it a risk bringing her into the mix, from a zompocalypse crew standpoint? Most definitely. And then the show wisely pulled from Eugene's own past, as a lonely liar, to help make her relatable. After leading Eugene, Ezekiel, and Yumiko on a dangerous scenic route, involving a minefield, Princess was able to break down a little bit and become a layered character who the gang could see as more of a tragic figure than comic relief. As a former wide-eyed optimist himself, who also used a regal moniker, he was able to latch onto her the way Yumiko - who sort of felt overly grumpy here - could not. It started with him laughing at her walker street art and then just morphed into an overall appreciation of her sunny disposition. And I really enjoyed how much Ezekiel would light up around her. Juanita Sanchez - aka PrincessThe episode's best parts involved the full introduction of loopy loner Juanita (Paola Lazaro), who prefers to go by "Princess." I understand that she might grate on some viewers, but I felt like her peppy energy and kind intentions really helped the show, which features very few, if any, characters like her.
