Home Fires and Chelle SPOILERS

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I had the same kinds of question. Plus one other: Why was Rick so determined
to kill Chelle?

On another tack, "Sea shell" is surely some kind of literary shadow-cousin
to Seawrack. Not the same character, obviously, but both lost a left arm,
both attached to older men.
