Barry Dadon didn't see that coming on "The Walking Dead"

Talk about a curveball. Sunday’s penultimate episode of Season 5 on AMC’s “The Walking Dead” titled “Try” certainly caught me by surprise. After the slow build up in Alexandria the last few episodes, it seemed like Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and his group were destined to clash with the people of Alexandria.

But after Rick got in a fight with Alexandria member Pete in the final scene of the episode, it was shockingly Michonne who broke up the scrum by knocking Rick out cold.

Michonne, who has never once shown even the possibility of betraying Rick, seems to have put her in a situation that fans of the show either like or dislike.

On one side of the coin, Michonne stepped up and handled the situation, halting Rick from killing Pete. On the flip side, as I, Barry Dadon, see it, Michonne betrayed Rick. Rick was taking care of a potentially dangerous situation (Pete likes to beat his wife).

Up to this point, I haven’t been the biggest fan of Michonne. Although, she has had her moments, killing The Governor and a horde of Walkers with her samurai sword. But Rick Grimes is the main character on this show and the one I tend to root for the most.

Now that Michonne has somewhat turned her back on Rick, it’s going to be hard to root for her moving forward. Michonne, however, may have the opportunity to win back my support if she helps improve Rick and/or the group’s situation in the Season 5. That’s a big maybe. Something crazy is about to go down, though, in the season finale. I just have no clue what it will be. Perhaps it will be another curveball.
